Splinterlands: First time seeing the Eggcelaration Ruleset

Splinterlands is a complex game, and it allows for various cards and strategies. Each fight is different as there are various rulesets applied, and this can give specific cards an advantage depending on how you use them. In this post, I talk about a great battle where I saw a battle where I saw a new ruleset.

Rule Set, Battle, and Plan

The rulesets this time are Born Again and Eggcelaration. This means all monsters gain the rebirth ability, and all monsters also gain +1 stats per turn. There is also 29 mana available, and I can use water or death [splinter](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-splinter).

It's my first time seeing the Eggcelaration ruleset. It does seem interesting as the monsters gain stats every single turn, so I think that having more monsters works out better if they can survive as the stats add up over time.

Splinter	Mana Cost	Position	Reason
Marlai Singariel	6	Summoner	+1 Magic
Asel Alagosdil	4	1st	Divine Shield
Water-Logged Wizard	6	2nd
Arachne Weaver	5	3rd	Slow
Grand Consul Minion	4	4th
Total Mana:	25

My summoner is Marlai Singariel for +1 magic. I have Asel Alagosdil as my tank with divine shield. After that is Water-Logged Wizard and Arachne Weaver as my magic damage dealers and one of them has slow. Finally, I have Grand Consul Minion as my final monster.

The focus of this lineup is to keep my monsters alive while dealing damage and outlasting my opponent. Asel will tank some damage while my monsters deal damage, and the slow will help me move faster than my opponent.

Round 1

At first glance, I think that this match can go either way. My opponent has two melee monsters and they are quite fast so they could wipe out some of my monsters. I do think that the magic monsters that I have are great as damage dealers though.

Round 6

A few rounds later, I am left with 2 monsters, but my opponent only has 1 left. At this point, I don't think there is anything my opponent can do because magic monsters attack first in the turn order.

I won later that round.

Conclusion

The battle did go exactly as planned. My magic monsters were able to win me this match, and that slow did come in quite helpful to ensure my Water-Logged Wizard attacked before my opponent. That allowed me to move first due to the turn order.

You can see my entire match here.

What did you think of my match? Was there anything you would have done differently? I think it is quite interesting to see how different players use the same card.
