Hello Splinterfans!
This week we have the new Battle Mage Secrets weekly challenge with the ruleset Keep Your Distance.
It has been over 7 months since my last Battle Mage post, I had some battle fatigue but am now back since we have many new rulesets to consider and my deck is upgraded to max level, it could be more interesting again.
This ruleset is one that I am not so keen on as I love my melee attack, but I use it to do a magic or ranged attack lineup, which is nice for a change!
How I would tackle this ruleset would be to try and counter ranged or magic attack, or both! This can then give you an edge and weaken your opponent.
My Team
This is a mid-mana battle, with also the Born Again rule.

ROUND 1 & 2 - Djinn Oshannus vs - Riftwing
Round 1 starts off well for me with lots of damage to Riftwing and Djinn Oshannus standing strong.
Lira the Dark who is usually quite strong, seems to be ineffective so far.
ROUND 3 & 4
Venari Bonesmith and Life Sapper are next to fall and the end of my opponents magic attack is complete. They were ineffective against the void magic ability of Djinn Oshannus.
ROUND 5 - Fin
Round 5 kicks off and it is the beginning of the end for my opponent.
I didn't even need to use Baakjira, Djinn Oshannus held strong. The ranged attack of my opponent collapsed very quickly.
Summary:
Keep your distance works well when you debuff your opponents attack and then protect him further.
I try to concentrate my attack on the tank or the rear as you saw my opponent was ineffective when spread out.
How do you play the Keep your distance ruleset?
Thanks for reading.
