π§ββοΈ Introduction
Meriput Magician is one of the most consistently used support cards in Modern Splinterlands, especially in Life (Light) decks. Its main appeal lies in the Tank Heal ability, which helps your frontline tank survive longer in battles where sustainability matters more than burst damage. This card remains relevant even as sets rotate, mostly because its healing effect is simple but incredibly effective.

Note: Stats like health and speed matter for attack order and survivability; Meriput Magician gains incremental boosts as levels increase, making it more effective as a healer unit later in Modern play.
π Tank Heal Ability (Core Mechanic)
β
Tank Heal:
Meriput Magician restores 1/3 of the maximum health (rounded down) every round to the allied unit in the first position (your tank).
βοΈ This means a tank with higher health gains more effective healing over time.
βοΈ Healing triggers each round, making attrition battles much easier for your team.
βοΈ Multiple units with Tank Heal can stack their effects on the same tank (healing up to its max health).
π Why Meriput Magician is Valuable in Modern
βοΈ Sustain Over Burst
Meriput Magician doesnβt deal damage β but it can severely frustrate opponents by keeping your frontliner alive for many rounds. This is especially strong when combined with:
- High health tanks
- Armor buffs
- Other healing or shield cards
This strategic healing can be the difference between a close loss and a win, especially in later rounds of Modern battles.
π Synergies to Look For
Here are some combo ideas where Meriput Magician shines:
π― High Health Tanks
Pair with tanks that have high base health or armor to maximize the amount healed per round.
π‘οΈ Support Buffs
Cards that grant additional health, armor, or resistances help the healing stretch even further.
β»οΈ Multiple Healers
Stacking tank heal with other active healers (like Crystalsmith under the right setup) can keep your main unit alive almost indefinitely under the right ruleset. ξ¨15ξ¨
π Competitive Notes
π Meriput Magician often appears in S-Tier lists for Modern common cards due to its role in healing and durability strategies. ξ¨16ξ¨
π Against no-healing rulesets like Healed Out, its value drops significantly β but in standard rulesets you get full value from its healing ability. ξ¨17ξ¨
π§ Final Thoughts
Meriput Magician proves that support utility can be just as valuable as raw damage in Modern Splinterlands. While simple in design, the Tank Heal ability can dramatically increase team longevity and create opportunities for strategic play that forces your opponent to adapt. ξ¨18ξ¨
