-Not- 50 Shades of Gray

Hello again, my coffee loving friends. Shades of Gray is an interesting rule set idea. Normally, Neutral elements are units and summoners that can be used along with other elements just like Dragon Element. They can act perfectly as fillers in case you don't have the required amount of units for that current battle.
Which makes this rule set interesting is it flips the script. Instead of having Neutrals as a splashable set of units and summoners, Shades of Gray rule set makes it that you can only use them in this battle.
I find it really tough in this rule set since it would be hard to create one cohesive strategy when the idea of the set is to be flexible, a master of none.

STRATEGY
This is a very simple strategy for Shades of Gray rule set prioritizing melee units in order to abuse Possibilus the Wise's Trample ability. The idea works on both low and high mana fights.
CARD POSITIONING
In this battle, I used the summoner, Possibilus the Wise and units, Xenith Monk, Mad Ogre Anarchist, Uraeus .
Quick Stats
Level 4: Legendary Summoner. Allows level 1 common, level 1 rare, level 1 epic and level 1 legendary. ![]() ![]() |
![]() ![]() ![]() Heal - Void - Magic Reflect |
![]() Opportunity |
![]() Sneak |
1. Level 8: Great Tank from the Neutral element with Heal and Void as his defense. He looks a lot stronger than he looks. | 2. Level 1: Opportunity units are good in Possibilus the Wise builds because they can attack units in the front as well activating Trample in case they kill an enemy. | 3. Level 1: Low mana unit that is good for its extra armor while being able to attack from the back due to Sneak. |
