HELLO to all Splinterlands readers of my humble blog.👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 Welcome to week 34 of the new iteration of the Splinterlands Weekly Challenges (at least, if I haven't miscounted so far, yet. 😜). 

*For any old Hivers/Splinterland players who've just come back and are confused, fret not! Even with the name and format tweaks, right at it's core, battles are still the foundation of these posts.*

In this week's edition of **Battle Mage Secrets**, do you know how to count past 10? Just a number above it will do. If you can do so, I think you should be fine with this particular instance! 

No matter! I present to you the ruleset — **UP TO ELEVEN** 1️⃣1️⃣

The game's description of **UP TO ELEVEN** is as follows: *"All units have the Amplify ability."*

This actually has nothing to do with the number eleven or counting at all. Rather, this grants all units the AMPLIFY ability which doubles the damage from all "return damage" kinds of abilities. Sounds confusing? Just make sure you try to use Thorns, Return Fire, and Magic Reflect and watch your opponent destroy himself. 😉

Would I have done anything differently? 🤔 This might have seemed like a disadvantage at the start but I ended up winning handily. IF I had to use the same cards again, there would be no better lineup than what I had already used for the match. Any other combination MIGHT have resulted in a loss for me. I'm really satisfied with the results against such a worthy opponent. 🏆🥇

I definitely can appreciate the ruleset **UP TO ELEVEN** and how it changes the dynamics of usual gameplay. This is one of those rulesets which can be turned into a huge advantage if surrounded with the proper team. The role it brings to the battlefield will give a player the edge in squeezing out every tiny advantage to get the win. 👍🏻 

I hope this article has given you some insight into its potential. 😉
