Lately I had a packed up week with a lot of battles on the Splinterlands field, and believe me, the competition on Silver League is beyond insane! Like I can easily go on a 7-battles loss streak just because my deck is not complete for a given Element or because of some RNG misses (to be fair my deck isn't at the level to compete for top leaderboard)

The Thorns ability is so fun to play around and its been one of my favourite abilities in the game, althought I used to have Mylor because of the inplayable low mana battles when facing it!

Regarding the nature of this Ruleset, it's only logical to put Ranged / Magic Damage monsters into the action, but sometimes, dropping some Melee monsters will not be regrettable since the benefits are superior to risks

In this case, Shield & Enrage are 2 abilities that makes reap the benefits with the contrast of having to face Thorns, so without further ado, let's get starting:

So I had the intention to go with this Team:

Facing a pretty straight forward team as I expected to face some magic damage monsters that their damage was fortunately nerfed by Thaddius Brood
Enemy Team Upcoming Damage: 4 Magic Damage + 1 Ranged Damage = 5 Total Damage
Ally Team Upcoming Damage: 1 Magic Damage + 9 Ranged Damage + 3 Melee Damage =

Nothing much happened on this round as Venari Marksrat was mercilessly eliminated by the newly trained monsters.
On the other side, Cursed windeku was tanking all the damage, let's be carefull from misses on a Martyred Oshannus!

Oshannus was rended a joke as it was fast forward eliminated by the new trainee on the field! What an insane amount of Damage and that spee prio !
And what a well place Poison on Nerissa Tridawn from the one and only Venari!
Unfortunately, Cursed Windeku couldn't survive long against multiple magic received damage!

The carnage continues as Nerissa got stomped by the Riftwing + Will-o-Wisp combination!
Merdalii armor was useless against Venari one shot magic bolt!
The battle is pretty much over with only 2 lone monsters with a lone health!

It didn't take much for this round to cling the victory and enjoy my spoil of wars consisting of 10 Trophies + 0.654 SPS

My picks choice was right on place as I've delt tons of damage while having a not-so-high Mana cap. On that occassion, I can't stres on how Over-Powered Weapons Training has become allowing for a massive damage output despite the low mana usage! It just becomes more oppressive if a couple of Weapon Training monsters were put together!
