Death Starter deck is well suited with fights with 15 to 25 mana range and there is a high probability to win even without renting powerful cards especially in Bronze League. Some players dont know that this starter deck is so underrated in the Bronze League. So let's break down how to ranked up to Bronze League from Novice League.
First of will be the summoner. The one which is popular in this deck is Zentar Mortalis with its ability that causes all melee enemies to reduce its melee attack by 1. This would be the best fit in this league because most newbie players use melee monsters as their pick. With his ability -1 melee attack, this is a great counter because most of the monster that will be used in this league has low melee attack and reducing its melee attack could be a downside to them.
Haunted Spirit, which is good at mana cost 15 to 20. He is a very good tank with high HP and its self healing ability. It also has decent speed and damage. A very sustainable tank that is hard to kill.
Bone Golem is a good tank at mana cost 21 to 28 with six health two armor and the ability that reduces magic damage. This tank is a good counter against enemy with a lot of magic damage dealing monsters.
Undead Priest, Good addition for the lineup which only cost 2 mana with its 3 HP and can withstand against snipe attacks. It's ability also reduces enemy hp by 1 which is a great help for your sneaking attack monster.
Twisted Jester, With the ability snipe, it targets enemy monsters that are non-melee that is not in the first position. The 4 mana & 4 health with 2 attacks is your starting lineup for your team. This card is overpowered with just a free to play card in starter deck.
Your sneaker and sniper is also a must in your line up which could kill low hp backlines. Skeleton Assassin and Death Elemental Dou. They have 2 HP which could survive against enemy monster with sneak and snipe that has only 1 attack. Skeleton Assassin best trait is his 4 Speed comboed with its ability Sneak which could attack first the enemy team. Because in this game, speed matters. Death Elemental which has a magic attack that is good against enemy monster that has an armor because magic can penetrate armor. Flying ability is useless also against magic attack because magic attack can't miss unless countered by an specific ability which is phase.
Final thoughts, play and try the game so you can experience the game because experience is the best teacher. You will learn gradually about positioning of monster and selection of additional monster aside from the monster shown above. So, play splinterlands and do get experience and feel the thrill of this addictive game.
