Series introduction
This post is part of the Road to gold league series, the first two parts can be found here:
Road to gold league - Collection
In this series you can follow me on my journey to Gold league III in Splinterlands. I started with about 5,000 CP and have just played the game for about two month. My plan is to invest in some cards to reach 15,000 CP for Silver III league and rent the rest of these cards.
Where are we
With the start of the general sale of the chaos legion packs I started buying cards for three different decks: Fire, Water and Life as I really enjoy playing all of these three (Ok to be fair I like playing them all but the money want allow me to build more then these decks at the beginning.
I already accomplished the first part of our goals, I reached 15,730 CP after buying the cards I wanted. So no need to buy just for power what is pretty cool.
Then I tried the new deck and it is really cool, I was able to reach Silver III and a rating of 1,295 so just before Silver II league.
| Type | To-date | Change | Goal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Collection Power | 15,730 | 9,815 | 15,000 |
| Rating | 1,295 | 770 | >1,900 |
| League | Silver III | - | Gold III |
I will start to rent for the higher leagues once I reach the corresponding rating. I never played higher than Silver III so I am pretty hyped for the things that are coming.
My fire deck
Lets take a look at the fire deck I bought and why I have chosen the cards.
Actual fire deck
Tarsa
Lets start with the summoner and I think its no surprise I choosed Tarsa. I think this summoner is so much stronger than Pyre so no more question asked here. I bought enough for Level 4, for me thats the perfect price / cost ratio at the moment. On the one side summoners are always pretty high priced and I just can't afford to level the used cards much higher (and of course for Silver league, where I will stay for some time I think, its near the maximum possible.
The chosen summoner naturally set the direction of the other cards: Melee Damage all the way!
Tenyii Striker
The first choice was the Tenyii Striker card. I really think this card is so cool with the Sneak he has from level 1. With the addition of Dodge he is just awesome. I just played a few matches in Silver with him and with 4 melee Sneak damage and the dodge he is a must have in every fire deck.
Forgotten one
The first tank I bought and what a unit! He is a must have for all these poison matches and comes with a great punch of 5 melee damage with Tarsa. I just could afford a level 1 of him but I really looking forward getting him to level 3 for the additional Retaliate, this would be pretty cool!
Tusk the wide
Another great tank for all these magic duels out there (Obsidian, I am looking at you!). He is just there as a meat shield as he is two slow with his 1 speed and too weak with his 2 melee with Tarsa. I only have him at level 1 and I dont think I will upgrade him in the near future as he only gains 1 melee damage and 1 health at level 3 and thats not really worth ist for his premium price. If I ever upgrade Tarsa any further and reach Gold league I will think about upgrading him to level 4 for the additional Inspire.
Lava Launcher
So here's a card that has no melee damage but I think the Lava Launcher has too much value in high mana battles to just don't have him in my deck. With his 6 shield he is perfect for the last spot for all these Sneak enemies and he has a great punch with his 3 damage. And as highlight he has Close range if everything went wrong and he is the last one standing...
Possible additions in the future
The first additon would be to bring Forgotten One to level 3.
Scorch Fiend
Scorch Fiend is, like every 0 mana card, a great addition for every fire deck. Right now he isn't so expensive so I might catch him in thenear future.
As you see there are not so many additions to this deck right now.
