Battle Mage Secrets: Equal Opportunity

Equal Opportunity is a ruleset where all the monsters may attack from any position and will target the enemy monster with the lowest health. It is best to choose a summoner that can help you to attack first.

Top Summoners for Equal Opportunity: Modern Format

Summoner	Description
	Byzantine Kitty: I suggest this summoner because you want to be the first one to attack. This summoner can give your monsters an additional 2 speed and it also has the True Strike Ability. Using Byzantine Kitty I also recommend choosing Agor Longtail as your tank.
	Quix The Devious: As I said, "You want to attack first", that's why I also recommend this summoner. It can reduce the speed of your enemy monsters.
	Kelya Frendul: For the Water Splinter, Kelya Frendul is the best as can give your monster +1 speed and armor.
	Ilthain: For the Life Splinter, Ilthain also can give your monster +1 speed. And I suggest putting Jared Scar and Shieldbearer.

Top Tank Monsters for Equal Opportunity: Modern Format

Magnur	Wave Brood	Mycelic Slipspawn	Shieldbearer	Dark Ha'on	Agor Longtail	Coeurl Lurker

As you can see in Top Tank Monsters, all of the monsters that I choose have the Taunt Ability. I recommend those because with the Equal Opportunity ruleset you don't want to sacrifice your cards that have less health. And also it might be hit by monsters that have the Bloodlust Ability. Using Tank with taunt Ability I also suggest adding monsters that can support your tank like healing, repairing, and resurrecting.

Battle Field Ruleset

Ruleset	Description
	Lost Magic: Monsters with Magic attack may not be used in battles.
	Close Range: Ranged attacks may be used in the first position in battles.
	Equal Opportunity: All monsters have the Opportunity ability.
Mana Cap: 44
Active Splinter: Fire, Life, and Death

Battle Prediction

I think my opponent will go in all melee and add Jared Scar. Or my opponent can also choose Death Splinter and put all Melee including those monsters that have the Thorn Ability. So my tactic here is to put all melee monsters that can reduce my enemy's melee attacks.

My Team

Team	Description
	Grandmaster Rathe: I know that magic monsters cannot use in battle but I still choose this summoner because I want my monsters to have additional shields. But if I have Ilthain I probably choose it as my summoner.
	Legionnaire Alvar: I choose this monster because it has the Demoralize ability which can reduce my enemy's melee attack by 1.
	Chaos Knight: I add this monster in case my opponent will Demoralize my monster. This monster has Inspire Ability which can give additional melee attack.
	Jared Scar: I always use this monster in Equal Opportunity Ruleset. This monster has the Bloodlust ability plus True Strike and Piercing. So imagine when this monster attacks and hit enemy monsters it has the chance to always activate the Bloodlust.
	Disintegrator: I'm using level 8 Disintegrator but it is still good because all I want for it in this ruleset is its Demoralize ability.
	Supply Runner: I add Supply Runner because most of my monster has a low speed.
	Blinding Reflector: I choose this card because of Blind ability. If my opponent chooses all melee there is a chance that my enemy monster will miss to attack mine.

The key to win this battle is choosing cards that have a lot of damage or monsters that have the Bloodlust ability like Jared Scar. But it still depends on the other ruleset that combined with Equal Opportunity. For example, the ruleset is Equal Opportunity and Wands Out, so it is automatically all your monsters are Magic Attacks. But what I recommended is to choose a tank that has Taunt Ability then predict if your opponent will go all melee or magic attacks. GG Courge.
