Let's Talk about Splinterlands - My Goal: Silver League Core Card Investments (Life Deck: Take it seriously and they won't get out alive 🤣)

in #hive-133233 years ago

Here we are with another talk about @splinterlands, and today's topic would be my goal investments for cards to play competitively in Silver League.

This is Part 3 of my post which you can see the first part here, and the second part is here on the first post I have talked about my dream Water Deck, while on the second post I talked about my dream Fire Deck, now we will gonna be talking about my Dream Life Deck.

Speaking of Target/Goal I would like to share mine for my silver Deck when the time comes, I will be looking at this post/list constantly to see where am I sitting. With these Decks, I believe I can already play competitively in Silver, might not be one of the top players or one of the greats, but I am pretty optimistic I could give a good fight with these cards, and they will give me very good results. Building this Deck will come right after I am done getting all my cards maxed out for Bronze and play competitively in the League.

Life splinter is one of my playgrounds with water before Chaos release I love the versatility of the splinter and the ability to be able to adjust through different rulesets and scenarios, though I have not been using them a lot since Chaos Legion Edition was released since I find water and fire deck stronger, that might change once I get the grip for the new life splinter meta, which I am still trying to figure out, I know people already have some meta for this card, but actually, I like making my own combination or lineup, though it might be a bit similar to others especially if it is working for me, why would I not adapt to something that could win me games, right?

Let's move on to my Dream Life Deck.

LIFE DECK
Take it seriously and they won't get out alive 🤣

“Warmest of greetings, traveler from afar! In the spirit of unity and healing, we have opened our beautiful lands to you. Open your heart to us, and as you walk our sacred grounds, the blessing and fortune of Khymia shall be yours. May you be filled with Life, and may your time with us be as enlightening as your journey hither was arduous.”
-from Essential Khymeria: A Traveler’s Guide

Life splinter has been my former playground though I am still trying to figure them out when Chaos cometh and little by little I am getting the grip of this splinter again with a new meta.
-ivarbjorn

The Life Splinter is a destination for healing of people from all of the Splinterlands. The Khymians who are native to this land look like Humans, but they are created rather than born. The government, industry and military are run by a huge religious organization called the Order of the Silver Shield.

$67.5500 +1 Range Ability to summon cards in silver-level cap.MUST HAVE

General Sloan will be a vital summoner of the life deck that I am trying to build just because of his +1 Range, he is the only one with only 1 ability to give to his monsters from the rare Chaos Legion summoners but definitely not worse than the others, with +1 Range it is like getting a cheap Selenia Sky, I know they are nothing comparable aside from the +1 Range they can give to their monsters but is definitely something since the important thing is the synergy she can give out to its monsters. A single BCX at the time of this post is at $2.7 and it is definitely cheap!**

Sometimes, I look back and wished I chose a different path, can't bear to bring this heavy shield anymore.

Shield Bearer is quite tricky, a part of me is telling me that I should have this card at level 4, but to be totally honest I am happy to have this card at level one and I can already use it effectively, I have been trying some strategy that seems to work even with Level 1 of this card, and also this card is expensive at $8.30/BCX, that's why a level 1 should be enough and I can already maximize it.

All I wanted is to find my young brother Lucifer and bring him home. But I was stuck in this chaotic land. I will not give up here and fight my way through this mess.

Some people say that Recharge could not be a thing and a bad ability, but I disagree, if used correctly it can be so devastating to your opponent and I have been using monsters with Recharge with a lot of success, you just really have to find the best situation where you can use and maximize them, mostly I like running Uriel The Purifier in the front line as a tank but I have Shield Bearer at the backline so everyone will not focus on Uriel, and just make sure you have something to take out the Armor of the enemy tank if any, so you should really have a ranged attacker which is by far the best situation since I will be using General Sloan and he can boost that range attacker so much and can easily destroy opponents armor, and then eat Uriel's 12 Melee Damage lol it is so marvelous to watch Uriel one-shotting big ass tanks! Uriel is only at $10.63 at the time of writing.

Repair - Restores some armor to the friendly Monster whose armor has taken the most damage
Resurrect - When a friendly Monster dies it is brought back to life with 1 Health. This ability can only trigger once per battle.
MUST HAVE

Adelade Brightwing is a legendary monster that lives up to her status as a legendary, this card has 2 Magic Attack and what makes it stand out as a support is the Repair and Resurrect ability, I love running Adelade with Uriel in Bronze, it helps Uriel a lot by keeping Uriel alive so he can dish out those huge damages to his opponents, and she is also a good combo for summoner with Void Armor too, like Legionnaire Alvar which is a great card to be targeted by the Resurrect ability. Though this card has slow speed it doesn't really matter that much and can support your tank easily, it has good survivability too with 5 HP and Flying ability which we know could help a lot to get those misses from your opponent. At the time of writing it is at $9.8 but I could see it can easily reach $20 or more soon, I am trying to snatch a good deal out of her as early as now and so far I have bought 1 of her for $8.

I will protect Uriel with all my heart, even if it costs me my own life.

Slow - Reduces the Speed of all enemy MonstersMUST HAVE

Time Mage is a vital part of my life deck, life could be so slow sometimes, and Time Mage is the answer for that, with her ability he will be able to slow the opponents too and there will no huge disadvantage for his friends, this is a great card to have especially in silver and guess what he got a best friend named Supply runner, yes I will tackle more with this card when I reach the part where I show you all my plan Neutral cards, but the idea of Supply Runner is it has Swiftness ability at level 5 and imagine, having them together in your team, one slows the opponent while the other one makes you faster, not only that if you check Supply Runners stats, it is a great synergy with General Sloan, so yes, imagine what those three could do in a single team.

Double Strike - Monster attacks twice each round.MUST HAVE

Pelacor Arbalest is, to be honest, the main damage dealer on my dream deck, I think I don't have to say a lot more about the Double Strike ability since it is already so popular due to Axemaster, and I think, this card is the next Axemaster in Life Splinter, it can do a lot of damage in a single round, imagine buffing this card with +1 Range, +1 Speed (from Supply Runner), maybe some armor, and debuffing the enemy with -1 Speed using Time Mage, just imagine the damage, make sure that you position this card right, put it in 3-5 position and it can be devastating for your opponent, at Level 4 it will have 2 Range Damage, 3 Speed, and 4 Health, now add those I have mentioned earlier, I will make it easy for you. This card will have 4 Speed, and 3 Damage which will turn to 6 each round, and the enemy has reduced speed so depending on the enemy this card has a really low chance of not hitting its target. Also, this card is only selling for ¢.32, yes it is selling below $1, and I think it is a great steal, I would definitely, buy a bunch of this card, not financial advice of course.

If Arbalest's arrows never missed, mine never hits the correct target 🤣

Portal Spinner is real strong card at level 4, it will have 3 Range damage 2 Speed, 2 Armor and 4 Health, which is very very strong for something that can hit anyone each round, if RNG is with you it can easily hit the enemy's backline support and messed up their lineup, though her target is random, I still believe that this ability is great since it gives you more ability to mess up your opponents lineup and this card give you unpredictability, and can easily be a game changer if she hits the right targets, but again it all depends on your Luck, and as everything else Luck is always part of your success 🤣 This card could your best card or your worst nightmare, but this card is so cheap and she can synergize with General Sloan well, his 3 Range damage can get to 4 and imagine 4 damage dropping out randomly to your enemies. 🤣

Silvershield Sheriff is one of those heavy-hitting snipers, and it has also the Piercing ability which makes him so much better, at Level 4 he will be massive with 4 Range damage and with General Sloan it is so so much better with the +1 Range attack. This card I would be happy to get at Level 3, with the Piercing ability and this card is definitely not cheap, so Level 1 would do as of the moment since it still provides a lot of damage, although at level 4 this card is gonna be nuts! So, just in case something happens and maybe I could get a good deal for a level 4 of this card. I would be happy to take that or accept that. With 4 Range, 4 Speed, 8 Health, that is definitely worth it for 9 Mana, and can rekt your opponent easily in high mana matches.

Prismologist is one of the cards that really synergize well with General Sloan and it has the great Blast ability which is so devastating to your opponents monsters, she will get 5 Range attack with General Sloan and with blast it can damage 3 to the adjacent monster, if they got no armor they better pray that her attacks misses else they will suffer great injury, and Prismologist works with different life splinter lineup not just with not just with General Sloan you can do a lot on this card and that is mainly because of the Blast and her 4 Range damage, imagine Target Practice ruleset and this card attacks in the middle, there is a saying 'Hitting 2 birds with one stone" but Prismologist can make that 3 birds with one stone.

THOUGHT PROCESS

If you have noticed the cards, it synergize more on General Sloan than other summoner in the Life, since General is the cheapest I am trying to maximize his potential and take advantage of his low price, I am even thinking of getting him level 4 first out of every summoner I have, also the supporting casts of my core cards is focused mainly on low mana battles which life really excel based on my experience, again on how I am going to achieve this is to constantly blogging about splinterlands and take the portion of it to build my dream deck, little by little I am sure this is will be done in no time.

So far out of the three decks that I have published this one is the Cheapest at only around $200 - $250, for a full deck of my choice.

Again if you wish to see the previous posts you can check it here:
Part 1: WATER DECK (Splash 'em all dead and wet 🤣)
Part 2: FIRE DECK (Burn 'em all through the wall 🤣)

See you all in another post!

Woop! Thank you for the !1UP, it took me a week to finish this post lol, too many things happened and always end up not finishing this post lol, as you can maybe see the last part of the post was kind of in a hurry haha.

watch out when you use the trigger, might end up upvoting my comment 😂

Nah, you did a great job, can't see no hurry! It's always pleasant to read high effort post, especially about Splinterlands.

Actually did it on purpose, lol no harm in rewarding a hard working man like yourself! Now that I think about it, it did not go through lol maybe need to remove the comma.

Good read Ivar. I think many players feel the same and have similar Life Splinter decks. What I would find interesting is how you build it for low mana (>20 - if possible) and mid-mana (21-35). Also, I use Lone Boatman more than I thought. With Snipe and Repair in Silver, he's got a lot of utility IMO. Will share this on my Splinterlands Digest Twitter.

For low mana I love to make a lineup similar to this:

For medium mana I like running
something like this:
