The mana cost however was endless 99, probably we can choose any team of our choice, so I decided to try out the fire mix with earth splinter, while my opponent went with the water splinter

Seeing Deeplurker and Fyling Squid in my opponent's team, I was scared that I would lose the battle. Although, my team did quite a great job defending themselves.
ROUND 1: Corrosive !!!!

If you noticed I basically went with monsters who has a speed limit of mostly four and five and I know why. The thing is, I've been loosing battles lately so I wanted to see where the fault was coming from. I suspected it could either be from the splinters am going for or perhaps from the combition of monsters themselves.

Monsters with the highest speed limit attacked first, Fyling squid however missed a few punches, deeplurker never seem to ammuse me, he took down Torch vizier within seconds.

Round 3--5_____

There was a alot of bloodshed between round 2 and 3, and lots of monsters went down. I noticed monsters who took down the team either has a high speed or high number of attack.
Deeplurker was doing most of the job and his speed was just 2, it should be worthy to note that just one punch from him would take probably half health because is Meelee attack is 3

Deeplurker took down half of my team, but Regal and Mad Ogre was still holding them strong.
Round 6-----11

Round 6 on to 11 was a continuous repeating process
When both Deeplurker and Regal came face to face, Deeplurker missed all the attacks thrown at Regal

Possibly he couldn't stand a chance because Regal's speed was more than his but Deepluker's attack was far better.
It should be worthy to note that, the Flying ability of Regal has the opportunity to Invade 25% Of meelee or ranged attack, hence that was what caused the defeat
Summary
I made the mistake of looking out for just the mana cost and abilities when picking a team, and it caused me some losses. However, I have come to the realisation it goes far beyond that.
Again, the speed and number of attack matters too, not just the mana cost, or the abilities.
From my observations, the mana cost is probably just not that important compared to these attributes. When picking a team it's, much better to lookout for the number of Speed, Attack and abilities which the monster posses.
