It's a new week, and I am excited to write again to participate in the Splinterlands Engagement Challenge. Today, I will share a post showcasing one of the modern format battles. It's fantastic, and I would like you all to watch it. This was a Wild Format battle from the Guild Brawls, and I won it. I learned some lessons from it, so I am sharing them with you all.

The battle lasted four rounds; the ruleset was 'Up, Close, and Personal, Briar Patch, and Four's a Crowd'. It was an interesting battle. It was a 58-mana condition battle with two elements active to choose from: Earth and Dragon. I had four monsters in my team lineup, and my opponent also had four monsters in their team lineup.

The AURELIA summoner was used, and it is a Conclave Arcana card with one special ability it offers: an increase in health to all my monsters in the team lineup. My card is a level 1, and this summoner's mana cost is 6. It is an Earth element summoner.

The first place in my team lineup was the DREAD TAFARIAN, a 9-mana-cost monster with one unique ability. It has melee attack damage, 1 melee attack, 6 health, 1 armor protection, and 2 speed. It is a level-one monster and has a melee attack. It possesses the Heal Ability, which allows it to restore 1/3 of its max health at the start of each round in the battle.

The second-place monster in my team lineup was the MAD GEARHEAD, a 6-mana-cost monster with one unique ability. It has melee attack damage, 1 melee attack, 5 health, zero armor protection, and 2 speed. It is a level-one monster and has a melee attack. It has the Reach ability, where it can attack from the second position. It attacks the first position card of my opponent's team lineup.

This battle is a surprising win, to be frank. With me only having two monsters in my team lineup and my opponent's team lineup as 4, showing a double of my team lineup. I never anticipated even passing the first round in the battle.

Surprisingly, I won the battle with only my last monster being eliminated, and the Dread Tafarian monster was able to maintain its first position and defend the battle for me, leading to my win at the end of it all. My monster went as low as 1 health remaining, but still came back by restoring its health to win the battle. I couldn't believe my eyes what I saw in the battle after it ended.

I won this battle in eighteen rounds, and only one of my team members was eliminated. My first expectation was that I couldn't win this battle, but once I eliminated the first monster on my opponent's team lineup.
