MY BATTLE ANALYSIS

At the beginning of the battle, I wasn't sure of victory because I used new cards that I bought in the market which I never used before. According to wise saying; "the devil you know is better than angel you don't know".
My perception and interpretation about this 'wise word' was that; the person you knew for years is better than someone you just met. This is because you might have being familiar with his/her habits and behaviors than your new friend.
As the battle started, it was fallen specter that first attacked centauri mage due to its high speed, then child of the forest attacked fallen specter as its habit- it attacks second monster in the battle. The fallen specter was eliminated due to its life span. When I saw this attack by child of the forest, my hope was revived.
The Spirit Miner, Dark Astronomer and Octopider kept attacking Centauri mage but the wood nymph was increasing Centauri mage health at each round, which makes it easy for it to stay longer than expected because the attack was too tensed at the front while there wasn't any attack at the back. At the end of second round, Centauri Mage was destroyed
The Death elemental of the opponent continuously attacking my second monster which is Backing Spider. But the baking powder has six health which doesn't make it easy for Death elemental to be eliminated.
At the third round, Barking Spider led the battle by becoming attacking monster and Wood Nymph continued its work by increasing any monster that leads.
Three Monsters were eliminated at third round- Fallen Specter, Death Elemental and Barking Spider.
Though, The battle could have been ended at this round but most of my Monsters were missing the target as we know that Fallen Specter has ability to evade melee and long range attack.
Dark Astronomer was also destroyed because of too much of attack at fourth round.
At the last round of the battle, Octopider was left from opponent attack. Octopider does not have ability to lead the front line therefore, it surrendered and I won the battle.
At the end, I was given 10.251 DEC with 21 points.
DOES MY STRATEGY WORKS?
Of course yes. I won the battle and three of my Monsters still remain.
CONCLUSION
If I used spirit of the forest or any monster with small health as the second monster, I would have been defeated. I'm this battle the best place for FEATURES MONSTER 'SPIRIT OF THE FOREST' was exactly the position I placed it.
It is one of my Monsters that fight from the beginning of the battle to the end. If it were football match, SPIRIT OF THE FOREST would be crowned as the man of the match.
Spirit of the forest and enchanted pixie work rate superceded all other monsters.
