Clue was elaborate, but very vague.

Spoiler for Hidden:

Aves because draining HP.
SE because bad things happening.
dragtom because thematicness. Didn't think of wounded, but that's very thematically accurate.

Aves wins due to mechanical similarities.

The elemental sighed as the army splintered, its frontal assault in shambles. It was an impressive host, to be sure. In the past, he may have even admired them. But with the right preparations, any mob could be routed, any force pacified. No army could operate without its bearings straight, and this one was no different. What a waste. As the high-noon sun bathed him in its rays, he closed his eyes, pretending -- no, remembering -- a world at peace. He opened his eyes. It was time to make peace.
 
You have no time left.

surrounding means the 6 creatures around the target; does not include creatures on the oppponent's side.

Guess I made it a little too obvious in the prompt, heh.

Spoiler for Hidden:

Silver Emerald: Defensive theme, check. A shield, not quite as effective as the prompt would imply, though.

I hadn't actually thought of the card affecting only a certain part of the field, @CleanOnion and dragtom. I was thinking "frontal assault" like "rush."

CleanOnion: Closer thematically to what the prompt implies than my original idea, I think. Very powerful.
dragtom: Similar to CO, hits the reducing attack mechanic on the head, though we had different ways of going about it.

dragtom wins for being closest mechanically.

just saying I'm skippping this round cuz I have no idea what the first clue means;
the other clues are way too generic.
