Equal Opportunity

Opportunity is a good chance to use those melee monsters that can't usually attack from behind the tank. Bloodlust can be extra powerful as the weaker monsters are picked off first which could allow the buffs to compound.

Battle Example

This is a great example of the power of melee monsters in an Opportunity rules

Battle Link	Pre-Battle Setup
Tarsa v. Wizard of Eastwood	https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/candnpg/23uFH66BWNEFHgFTYvYbzuGqNZQ23GfShZ71trUGNBxvrHDfxtyPEK7fefaHTUDqbz2oX.png

With the low mana this was a great battle to go with Tarsa as Fire offers a large selection of low mana melee cards. The health and melee buffs from Tarsa will make this a hard hitting team.

CARD	WHY DID I CHOOSE IT?
https://images.hive.blog/200x200/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/chaos/Antoid Platoon_lv6_gold.png	Shield should help absorb some attacks. With the low mana count there shouldn't be too many opponent cards with a high attack value.

https://images.hive.blog/200x200/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/chaos/Scorch Fiend_lv1.png	A great chance to use this free mana card
https://images.hive.blog/200x200/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/chaos/Radiated Brute_lv5_gold.png	Usually relegated to the second spot, but with Opportunity he can hang back this battle
https://images.hive.blog/200x200/https://d36mxiodymuqjm.cloudfront.net/cards_by_level/reward/Uraeus_lv4.png	Sneak will override the Opportunity and the Poison can hopefully take out some extra cards.

Results

My opponent took out my tank's armor with Wizard, and Grund did his best to take me out with that powerful Double Strike from the back row. Antoid's Scavenger and Shield abilities scored me the victory by the thinnest of margins. My opponent had a great strategy taking away my armor, but my six cards were able to stand up to the hard hitting Grund in the end.
