Hi friends, this is my first time sharing a battle for this challenge, I'm currently on bronze II, so will not be an Epic battle, however I really believed that this was a lose for me, but in the end the winner was me!

Summoner: Lyanna Natura

After the Magi of the Forest, Lyanna is the greatest summoner from Anumün. She has many powers in addition to summoning, including her ability to communicate clearly with animals. She is married to Aggrodius Lightbringer, and they live together in Draykh-Nahka with their two daughters, Kiara and Talia. Lyanna lives a busy and high-profile life, very different from her simple past on the Lyverian countryside.

I chose this summoner to give a little more life to the other cards. In the end, this additional heart was the MVP of ALL the combat, allowing my monsters to do more damage to my opponent while keeping 1 heart.

First Position: Stonesplinter Orc

True to the name of their kind, the Stonesplitter Orcs can cleave any stone into pieces, revealing the ores and gems that may dwell within. They are also fierce foes, whose pickaxes can crack the skull of an enemy monster like a nut.

Having low mana I chose this card for the tank position because of its attack, its velocity and the retaliate ability, with the hope that reflect some of the punches of my opponent..

Second Position: Minotaur Warrior

The Minotaurs are the only people in Anumün rugged enough to inhabit the Giant Grasslands of Primordia, where the Dinosaurs roam. They live in wandering tribes, sleeping in hide tents and hunting Rexxies for their meat, clothing and weapons. Minotaur spears are longer than they seem.

This is the themed card, so it is a must. However, this is my card of choice to play in low-mana battles when I need an alternative to the Orc Sergeant to have the reach ability in the camp.

Third Position: Child Of The Forest

The rivers of Life and Power make it easy to survive in the Forests of Anumün. Runaway Human and Goblin children have always found their ways into the enchanted Forests where they can live without parental rule. These children are as dangerous as they are resourceful, having taught themselves to survive in a world of natural chaos and social alienation.

In the time of this battle I was doing the Sniper Quest, so I chose this little dude to be my sniper in this battle.

Last Position: "The Incredible" Furious Chicken

The chickens of the Splinterlands have had enough. For too long they have been kept in cages and pens. For too many generations their eggs have been made into omelettes, their breasts and thighs into nuggets, and their most pristine feathers into rather tacky jewelry. Under the brave leadership of a great hero known only as The Alpha Chicken, all chicken-kind is finally rising up against their oppressors. This uprising, all across the Splinterlands, is known as the Cluckening.

Never go out without your meat shield, this chick has saved a good amount of snipers lives from those enemies sneakers.

Did my strategy work?

To be honest I don't think so, my intention was to attack the enemy tank while reflecting some attacks, but the ability didn't trigger.
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
However, on the other hand, choosing Lyanna was crucial, as we can see at the end with my monsters giving their all to attack with 1 remaining heart.
I'll go with the same thing another time to see how well this lineup can go with other enemies.

Do I like the Minotaur Warrior?(°ー°〃)

For me? It's just a cheaper alternative to the Orc Sergeant right now (in the bronze league) for when I need one more heart for another monster, so when I think I can have 4 more hearts in exchange for 1 speed point and 1 shield, this card seems less useful at least now.

Conclusion

I know this was not an otherworldly battle, but doing this challenge and this particular post has been entertaining, particularly the format and style. I hope my next battle is not won by a hair or a heart in this case.
