To be able to take advantage of the upclose and personal ruleset i employ 3 strategy.

RULESET | DESCRIPTION |

 | Up close and personal - you can only summon units with melee attack |

THE TEAM
ARCHON | UNIT 1 | UNIT 2 | UNIT 3 | UNIT 4 | UNIT 5 |
Eternal Tofu | Mantaroth | Bera Dallin | Bren Palesworn | Gramel the hunger | Olivia the Brook |
1. ETERNAL TOFU - is a rebellion card dual earth and life legendary archon. It is a 7 mana card. It provides 2 health, snare and thorns to all friendly units at the start of the battle. It also gives added two type of tactics , first option is to give divine shield and corrosive ward to 3 units and second option is to give triage and sccavenger to 1 unit. Eternal tofu is good at up close and personal, earthquake , melee mayhem, super sneak, equal opportunity and amplify ruleset. But bad at keep your distance, wands out, going the distance and briar patch ruleset. It can not used also in little league ruleset.


2. MANTAROTH - is an 11 mana legendary neutral modern promo card. At level 3 it has 3 melee attack, 4 armor, 11 health and 2 speed. It also has shield, armored strike, true strike and repair armor ability. Mantaroth is good at weak magic and lost magic where it helps stay alive for its armor and armor repair. It is also good at target practice, armored up, upclose and personal, super sneak and reverse speed at it has only 2 speed. But bad at briar patch and unprotected as it giveaway some of its advantage.


3. BERA DALLIN - is an 11 mana legendary rebellion life monster. At level 3 it has 3 melee attack, 6 armor, 13 health and 3 speed. It has armored strike, taunt and shiled ability. Bera Dallin is good at weak magic, lost magic, broken arrows, armored up, uplcose and personal, melee mayhem and super sneak ruleset. But bad at ferocity ruleset as it will take double damage although it got shield but still susceptible to magic. Bera dallin is good to be used at the backline combining with eternal tofu that provide triage when the tactic is choosen.

4. BREN PALESWORN- is a 6 mana legendary dual attack neutral monster that is part of the conclave arcana set. At level 2 is has 1 melee attack and 2 ranged . It has also have 4 health and 3 speed. It has also an sneak, shapeshift and weapons training ability . It is good at weak magic and up close and personal battle ruleset due to its dual attack. Its melee and ranged attack still allows him to attack in fog of war rulset also.


5. GRAMEL THE HUNGER - is an 11 mana legendary conclave arcana neutral modern promo card. At level 2 it has triple attack 1 melee attack, 1 magic attack and 2 ranged attack. It has 1 armor, 7 health and 3 speed. It also has charge, scattershot and relentless strike ability at level 2. Gramel the hunger is almost a perfect monster and almost good at most ruleset due to its triple attack that it offer specially fog of war, back to basic ruleset, up close and personal, going the distance , melee mayhem and others. But its greatness and multiple attacks makes him not allowed in keep your distance and lost magic ruleset. It's being legendary and high mana also makes him ineligible in little league, lost legendaries, rise of the commons, even stevens.


6. OLIVIA THE BROOK - is a 6 mana rebellion epic life soulbound reward card. At leve 5 it has a dual attack which is 1 magic and 2 melee attack. It has also 1 armor, 5 health and 3 speed. It also has an opportunity and mimic ability . Olivia the brook is good at high mana, equalizer, up close and personal and fog of war due to its dual attack and mimic ability to gain random ability from the enemy team that start at round 2 . But bad at back to basic ruleset at it takes out its mimic ability.

MY STRATEGY AND POSITIONING
ARCHON | UNIT 1 | UNIT 2 | UNIT 3 | UNIT 4 | UNIT 5 |
Eternal Tofu | Mantaroth | Bera Dallin | Bren Palesworn | Gramel the hunger | Olivia the Brook |

In this 6O mana battle with heavy hitters, high five and up close and personal ruleset my strategy is to used eternal tofu as my archon which provides thorns . I then use also mantaroth as tank and bera dallin as my taunt because of their shield ability . Mantaroth has 2 attack, a melee attack and armored strike while bera dallin as taunt will benefit from eternal tofu triage tactic added ability . Then my tank was supported by bren palesworn, gramel the hunger and olivia the brook which neither of them got dual or triple attack which able them to attack at every round due to its added ranged or magic attack and charge ability.
....HAVE A NICE DAY .....
