Im a newbie only started in the past couple of weeks.
As I have been learning I have found my most valuable investments and uses have been in neutral cards as they are powerful and can be used with all splinters.
For high mana battles these are great value and most are part of the starter deck so always think about these cards as a starter in high mana battles.
I only used two cards from the actual splinter in this case it was water
Bortus (I had seen the player normally used magic this gets under my shields so I wanted to reduce damage to health) (In the current starter set so free to use with the summoner book)
Water elemental (Self healing sitting in the middle will cause even more problems for magic as they waste turns) (In the current starter set so free to use with the summoner book)
Neutrals and costs (now I protected myself from magic now I wanted pure tank and damage)
Goblin Mech (This at the time was a couple of dollars)
Elven defender (In the current starter set so free to use with the summoner book)
Sandworm (This at the time was a dollar)
Mantoid (In the current starter set so free to use with the summoner book)
Cyclops (In the current starter set so free to use with the summoner book)
I am guessing this is a bot but it was still a very good line up to go against and commonly used by players.
Here is the replay

Also I would like to mention some great players who I have been watching on social media and have learned a lot from. Throw them a sub they try so hard for the community they deserve a little something back
Dwayne Cunningham
Dwayne is such a giving player he has been in Splinterlands for years and without knowing me when I started really helped me understand the game and actually even communicated with me directly and gave me a guild place to learn without any expectations from me. A true selfless individual who is all about helping the community improve and making players better with extremely well researched information. Please check him out he deserves to be in the top 3 streamers in Splinterlands in my opinion. p.s. and Thanks from me Dwayne.
