Hello splinterlands gaming lovers!
This is my weekly battle mage secrets submission with the Theme
Counterspell.

No doubt we can enjoy magic reflect without Owster Rotwell. You must have familiar with Dice Edition 3 mana Rare summoner Owster Rotwell. It is the summoner that provides magic reflect ability for all monsters. Now we are getting the ability without using summoner. Just imagine, all monsters lose their abilities, magic attack will get magic reflected by monster, opportunity and sneak monster do not attack from distance then what will be your battle squads.
Yah must have thought to use a Range additional summoner like General Sloan and Selenia sky. If your opposition thinks like you then what will be the pin-pointing of battle. It was the similar battle rule set in which Back to Basics and Magic reflect ruleset was applied. See my battle squads and think what I did to win. I applied similar strategy for the battle using a return fire summoner instead of using a Range attack additional summoner.

BATTLE THEME
COUNTERSPELLhttps://splinterlands.com/?p=battle&id=sl_81a6d663829cdc707098dcc8099549f4

BATTLE RULESET AND MANA
Although it was 51 Mana game play, it was a very difficult task to battle without Even Mana monsters. Only odds monsters were active for the battle. Four splinters Fire, Life, Dragon and Earth were active for the battle. In 51 Mana, I was using most of the cards with high Mana.

Counterspell
This is another form of Magic reflect that we know as counter spell. There are few monster who has magic reflect ability but with this ruleset every monster get magic reflect ability.
Odd Ones Out
It is a fantastic rule set in which one have to battle with particular Monsters that having odd Mana. For example 2, 4,6,8,12 and 14 mana monster will not be available for the battle. One have to choose 1,3,7,9,13,mana monster for the battle..
Back to Basics
This battle ruleset is the part of gameplay and one have to perform well by using skill because in this ruleset we do not get Buffs and Dbuffs from monster. Yes we can use the Buffs of Summoners

RETURN FIRE ABILITY SUMMONER

TEAM COMBINATION AND BATTLE STRATEGY
It was back to basics ruleset along with counterspell and what's ones out, so it was very difficult task to choose our battle squad. Melee attacks that can perform only from first position and magic monsters will get magic reflect. In this situation I was thinking that my opposition team would come with Range attack.
I was also using a Range attack monster but single in count. My priority was armored base Monster against ranged attack that's why I selected five Monsters with pretty good armor.
I wanted to give in a chance to return fire that I was getting from summoner Ilthan. It could be more interesting if I could use Amplify.
Anyway armor saved me, otherwise I was at the edge of defeat. Here is my battle lineup and you can guess either it was a perfect line up or not against ranged attack.

IMPERIAL KNIGHT

URIEL THE PURIFIER

ULUNDIN OVERSEER

LEGIONNAIRE ALWAR

BLINDING REFLECTEOR

AIR ELEMENTAL

DID MY STRATEGY WORKED WELL?
Sometimes everything happens according to our set up. In this battle I got most of the things according to my prejudice. But there is a little change. My opposition team decided to use similarly two Melee at front, two magic monsters and two range attack. Like My Battle squad, my opponent was also giving priority to armor but he forgot to choose high health monsters in 51 mana gameplay. On the contrary I chose 5 Melee monsters with pretty good health and armor. There was a single range attack monster Air elemental in my battle squad. I was not expecting a magic monster but the enemy team came with two magic cards. It made my way more easy. The rest of the task completed by return fire of Ilthan. I won this battle just losing four Monster from my side. So I can say that my strategy and plan work very well.
