Battle Mage Secrets Weekly Challenge! / Fog of War.
This time we will talk about the condition: Fog of War. This nullifies several important abilities such as sneak, snipe, and opportunity. So this generates that the battle must be analyzed more, and we must also recognize that there are cards that will not work because they have some abilities nullified. Yet, there are many other cards with useful abilities that we can use to try to achieve victory.
This battle occurred a little over a week ago in between the gold and diamond league, as I was at the 2800 rating. A big difficulty of this battle was the two extra conditions, besides Fog of War, Briar Patch and Born again. That is, I would have to watch out for my own direct attacks, as they would cause me damage, but they were also going to be reborn, giving each card a second chance at life. But I took a chance and placed some direct attack cards and used healing to try to recover from the thorn damage.
Summoner: Possiblus The Wise.
This card would grant me several additional abilities, such as Trample, +2 life and allows a higher direct attack, therefore, it would improve or enhance the performance of my team.
In the first positions I placed Sea Monster this card is very strong in the attack and also has the ability to heal itself, so it compensates the damage to the thorns and would also use the ability Trample. Then in the second position I put Coastal Sentry, it has the ability to perform double attacks, so this would be a great duo, although the latter will be a sacrificed card.
In the third and fourth position, Hardy Stonefish will be a filler card and in the event that it ascends to the second position could also attack. Then, Venari Wavesmith would fulfill the function of performing magical attacks, but would also help the team with its protection shield.
Finally, Merdaali Guardian was the card that would contribute to heal the main cards of the team, and in the sixth position I placed Deeplurker, this card would be diminished by the conditions, but for the amount of mana available was the card that best suited, therefore, this card would be a filler or a decoy to cover the last position.
Meanwhile, my opponent used the same summoner i.e. Possiblus The Wise, and on the battlefield Baakjira, Deeplurker, Spirit Hoarder, Angelic Mandarin, River Boat Captain and Wave Broad. Although they are good cards, they would not take advantage of their summoner's abilities.

- This battle would be a bit long because each monster would revive, so each time they were destroyed they would not take so long to leave the field in subsequent attack moves. At first no card was destroyed, until the second round started and on my side of the field Coastal Sentry was destroyed, while I was able to destroy Baakjira, Deeplurker and Spirit Hoarder.
- In the third and fourth round, again Spirit Hoarder was destroyed, while I only lost Hardy Stonefish, and in my opponent's team Angelic Mandarin and Riverboat. In this way, the battle was already open for me to get the victory, so in the eighth round I destroyed Wave Broad. It was a battle where my strategy was efficient.
Conclusion.
The Fog of War condition limits several abilities, but there are still several cards and abilities that we can use, honestly I don't see so many problems, but maybe some players loyal to use cards with the abilities sneak, snipe, and opportunity, maybe they don't like that the condition is in the battle. My strategy was based on direct attack cards with healing and trying to duplicate the attacks with the use of Double Strike and Trample. Finally, this strategy gave me the result to obtain the victory.
