Snare
"When attacking enemies with Flying, removes the Flying ability and cannot miss."
100% chance to hit flying monsters on the first attack
Notable Rulesets
| Top 3 Rulesets | Bottom 3 Rulesets |
| Earthquake - In order to avoid damage each round, your opponent may stack the deck with flying monsters. Granting your monsters this ability makes it all the more impactful. | Back to Basics - Monsters lose all abilities with this ruleset. Consider whether your selection is still useful given that the snare ability will not be used |
| Super Sneak - Consider that your opponent may place a flying monster in the last position - a futile attempt to avoid attacks if Snare is involved! | Broken Arrows - Many (not all) monsters with Snare are ranged attack monsters - making them unusable within this ruleset. |
| Target Practice - With the snipe ability, your efforts to snare a flying monster may come to fruition. Your opponent may place a flying monster strategically in order to draw (and evade) sniping fire. | Wands Out - Currently, no magic monsters with the Snare ability exist. Rendering snare unusable within this ruleset. |
Notable Abilities
| Top 3 Abilities | Bottom 3 Abilities |
| Snipe/Sneak/Opportunity - Combining Snare with targeting abilities can be exceedingly useful if the flying monster is not in the first position. Your opponent may intersperse their flying monsters strategically - particularly if the Earthquake ruleset is involved. | Cleanse - Snare can be cleansed rendering the ability ineffectual. |
| Flying - Nothing will frustrate your opponent like a flying monster snaring one of their own. Flutter away while your target remains on the ground - wings clipped and helpless. | Magic Reflect/Return Fire/Thorns - Be sure that your snaring monster can take the damage they deal out! |
| Stun - Prevent monsters from attacking once they are snared. This makes it much more difficult for the opposing team to reclaim lost ground, ultimately faltering and failing. | Snipe - Be sure to strategically place your monster with snare. If your opponent plays a monster with snipe, they may take it out of the battle before Snare can be used! |
