BATTLE MAGE SECRETS Weekly Challenge: Rise Of The Common

Hello everyone, it is a super Sunday. How are you feeling today?
Don't forget to participate in this week's battle mage secrets. Today, I'm going into depth about the rise of the common rule which gives opportunity to all common and rare monsters to be used in battles.
When you come across a battle that says 'rise of the common', you don't need to ask yourself while legendary monsters are not available to be used. That is just what the ruleset is all about.
When the rule is given, only common and rare monsters are available to use.
Well! When this rule is given, one or more rules can be attached to it. Just like the one I'm going to share here today; another rule was attached to it which I also considered while selecting monsters.
Rise of the common is an old rule that gives players an opportunity to showcase their talent while selecting monsters to be used.

The strategy I used in this battle was the best for me because there was no way melee monsters could be useful except in the first position. And also, there was no way range monsters would be effective if such monsters lead the attack. To avoid defeat, it was necessary for me to arrange my monsters I'm such a way.

Ruleset
Back To Basic: Monsters lose all abilities.
This is the reason I made the monsters I used must have a high number of health. That is one way to strategize. If you check my lineup properly, I used Water Elemental not because I wanted to attack, I knew the moment Water Elemental led the attack, it won't be able to attack again. Therefore, I used Water Elemental because of its health. With just three mana, I was able to get a monster with 7 health which delayed my opponent's monsters.
When I saw back to basic ruleset, I did not border to use monsters with abilities because there abilities won't be useful.
One thing that functioned in this battle was the summoners. You could see that there was an additional health to all my monsters due to the summoner I selected; and there was an additional +1 magic attack to all my opponent's monsters.
The reason was that back to the basic ruleset, summoners' abilities are activated while monster's abilities are deactivated.

Rise of the Common: Only common and rare monsters may be used in battles.
End of discussion! The rule clearly said it. The only monsters you will come across when selecting monsters are common and rare monsters.
If you look at my lineup and my opponent's lineup, only rare and common monsters were used.

Why do I use Lyanna Natura?
When I wanted to pick a summoner, only Earth and Fire Summoners were available. To be sincere, the magic monsters in the fire summoners were not powerful as the one I had in Earth Summoners.
More also, I would have preferred Obsidian but it was not up to the standard I wanted. It is far below the level I wanted.

Monsters Arrangements
Creepy Ooze
Splinter: Neutral
Level: 3⭐⭐⭐
Speed: 1
Health:3
Attack: Melee
Mana: 0
The slow ability could not do anything in this battle; the only position I could think of using creepy Ooze was the first position. Since all abilities were infective including opportunity ability, it was not important to hide Creepy Ooze anyone. So, I used the monster to delay attack from opponent's monsters.

Pelacor Mercenary
Splinter: Water
Level: 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Speed: 3
Health:: 11
Armor: 1
Attack: Melee
Mana: 7
If you are going to ask me, why do I considered Pelacor Mercenary since I knew that the most important monsters are magic monsters? My answer would be, it is because of the health. I got this monster with 7 mana. I would have selected Flesh Golem, but I realized that the healing ability of Flesh Golem would not function. That was the reason I went for Pelacor Mercenary.
Despite my opponent used 5 magic monsters, Pelacor Mercenary was not easy to eliminate. This was because of the high number of health.

Water Elemental
Splinter: Water
Level: 3⭐⭐⭐
Speed: 2
Health:7
Attack: range
Mana: 3
The only thing that motivated me to select Water Elemental was the health. It took three attacks from tree monsters to eliminate Water Elemental. I was obsessed to use Water Elemental because of its health.
It was eliminated in the second round of the battle.

Mycelic Slipspawn
Splinter: Water
Level: 2⭐⭐⭐
Speed: w
Health:12
Attack: Magic
Mana: 9
Two things I was engrossed with about Mycelic Slipspawn, they are the health and the magic attack. When Mycelic Slipspawn led the attack, almost all the opponent's monsters were eliminated, it was just left with two monsters.
The reason it was like that was the high number of health which made it difficult for opponent's monsters to eliminate it. I knew Mycelic Slipspawn could attack in any position, but fourth position was the best position for the monster.

Centauri Mage
Splinter: Water
Level: 3⭐⭐⭐
Speed: 3
Health:10
Attack: Magic
Mana: 7
Centauri Mage was in the fifth position. I placed Centauri Mage in the fifth position in case Mycelic Slipspawn would not be able to lead to the final. I knew it would be difficult for Mycelic Slipspawn to lead the attack to victory.
Centauri Mage was the monster I considered.

Regal Peryton
Splinter: Water
Level: 3⭐⭐⭐
Speed: 6
Health: 5
Attack: Magic
Mana: 5
It would be a waste of a monster to use Regal Peryton in any position rather than last position. Regal Peryton's health is very small compared to Mycelic Slipspawn and Centauri Mage. Placing Regal Peryton before any of the two monsters would be a waste.
The speed of this monster was impeccable; it was the first monster to attack in this battle.
This is the reason, magic monster with high speed is very good in this type of battle.
Assuming my opponent's monsters had higher speed than my monsters, there would be no way I would have won the battle.

I'm conclusion, the rules attached to Rise of the common also determine the kind of common and range monsters to be used.
Therefore, study all the rule attaching to rise of the common is as important as study rise of the common rule.
