Link Of The Match
But before I share the Battle with you, let's talk about the Monster "OCTOPIDER".
Edition: REWARD
Rarity: RARE
Element: DEATH
Attack: RANGED
You may be thinking, “A spider already has eight legs… Why Octopider?” For one thing, the Octopider is much larger than a spider, closer to the size of an octopus. It’s legs, although they can scurry like a spider, are actually the tentacles of an octopus. In fact, this monstrosity has nearly all the most terrifying features of both spiders and octopi. The Octopider can move easily in water or on land. Whenever threatened, the Octopider disappears into an inky, venomous cloud. They say the Octopider was a grotesque creation of the Gorlodon, a famed monstrous dark sorcerer of the deep water.Source
At level one, the "OCTOPIDER" comes with 3 Ranged attack power, 3 Speed, 7 Health.
It cost only 01 mana to use.
As you can see, this card can be upgraded to level 08 which need a total of 115 cards. At level 08, the "OCTOPIDER" comes with 5 Ranged attack power, 4 Speed, 8 Health with "Cleanse" and "Swiftness" ability.
"Demoralize" : Reduces the Melee attack of all enemy Monsters.
"Blind" : All enemy Melee & Ranged attacks have an increased chance of missing their target.
About The LineUp:
- For this match mana cap was 30.
- And played with the "Standard" rule.
I was using my DEATH Summoner "ZINTAR MORTALIS" along with "NIGHTMARE" in level 1, "SKELETON ASSASSIN" in level 1, "ELVEN CUTTHROAT" in level 1, "MAGGOTS" in level 1, "OCTOPIDER" in level 1, "UNDEAD BADGER" in level 1.
Now Let Me introduced you with The Cards I have Used In The Battle.
SUMMONER: ZINTAR MORTALIS(RARE LIFE Summoner)
Zintar Mortalis is the leading Dark Summoner. His renown has earned him the right to have a name, which is rare among the Dark Eternal collective. As a powerful summoning wizard, Zintar is the closest thing Mortis knows to a celebrity. When facing Zintar Mortalis in a summoner’s battle, only the bravest opponents do not cower in fear.Source

NO 1: NIGHTMARE(COMMON DEATH Monster)
The "NIGHTMARE" is a Common Death monster which has the "Blast" ability. At level 1, this monster comes with,
1 Melee attack,
4 Speed,
10 Health.
Though "NIGHTMARE" is a common monster card in a field of battle, this monster can be the deadliest. This one is a very fast 4 speed monster with 10 health. As a result this monster can keep fighting with enemy monsters for a long time. "Blast" ability is one of the beauty of this monster. In this battle, "NIGHTMARE" killed 2 of my enemy monsters with it's "Blast" ability.
It cost only 08 mana to use in the battle.
NO 2: SKELETON ASSASSIN(COMMON DEATH Monster)
The "SKELETON ASSASSIN" is a low cost Common Death monster which has a very useful "Sneak" ability. At level 1 this monster comes with,
1 Melee attack,
4 Speed,
2 Health.
Most of the time I don't use this monster because of it's low health. One hit from enemy monster could kill this monster. But some times this monster work very well with it's very useful ability.
It cost only 03 mana to use in the battle.
NO 3: ELVEN CUTTHROAT(COMMON NEUTRAL Monster)
The "ELVEN CUTTHROAT" is a low cost Common Neutral monster which has a very useful "Sneak" ability. At level 1 this monster comes with,

NO 4: OCTOPIDER(RARE DEATH Monster)
"OCTOPIDER" is a Rare Death monster. At level 1 this monster comes with,
3 Ranged attack,
3 Speed,
7 Health.
Yes it has 8 legs and looks like spider but why this monster is called "OCTOPIDER". Because this monster is much larger than spider and can move easily in water or on land. Sounds interesting? Yes, it is an interesting monster. With 3 Ranged attack power and 7 speed, it is a fight loving monster.
It cost only 08 mana to use in the battle.

Here Is Some Screen Shots Of The Battle:
My monster "NIGHTMARE" is the fastest of all the monsters used in this battle. So "NIGHTMARE" started the attack first on the enemy monster "BONE GOLEM". As I mentioned before that this monster has "Blast" ability which can Do additional damage to Monsters adjacent to the target Monster. With the help of that at the first two round "NIGHTMARE" killed one Melee attack monster called "UNDEAD BADGER" and one Magic attack monster called "DEATH ELEMENTAL". That was a outstanding performance from "NIGHTMARE" in a battle field.
The other monsters were fighting among themselves. Mostly the enemy monsters with "Snipe" was doing a great work. Monster's with "Snipe" ability can targets enemy Monsters with Ranged, Magic, or no attack that are not in the first position and my opponent was using 3 of them. As I was using only one ranged attack monster, all 3 enemy "Snipe" ability monsters was tageting my "OCTOPIDER" continuously. "OCTOPIDER" somehow survive after the first round of attacks from all those monster's but at the beginning of the second round I lost that monster.
Using 3 "Sneak" ability monster in this battle was really a good decisions for me. My 3 Melee attack monster "SKELETON ASSASSIN", "ELVEN CUTTHROAT" and "UNDEAD BADGER" killed two important snipe ability enemy monsters "MANTOID" and "TWISTED JESTER". That was actually a winning performance from this 3 monsters. Those two enemy monsters was very dangerous with 2 Ranged attack power. But that was to late. Those two monster had already killed my "OCTOPIDER".
After I lost my "NIGHTMARE" at the middle of round 3, there were 2 enemy monsters "BONE GOLEM" and "GOBLIN CHARIOT". alive against my 4 Monsters. But the problem was my friendly monsters were low on health. As a result enemy monster's was killing my friendly monster's one by one. I was really scared but still at round 5 the last enemy monster was killed by "UNDEAD BADGER" and I won the battle.
Battle Result:
