So, I have been playing some of the new cards from Chaos League, some I like, some I don't. We ll have our favorites and different play styles/strategies. I have also been scouting some cards I want to level and now when prices still are low is it the perfect moment to buy those cards, before everyone else sees the value of having those cards. So I bought a few of them before the prices starts to climb new hights.
I'm not a pro and I neither play in any high league. The cards and the card power required for higher leagues is way out of my budget. I wish I had the money to play in higher leagues and buy some cards I really want and level those as well. But my former life of addiction and debts hinders that. But now when Chaos league are coming do I actually see an oppurtunity to reach higher hights and level cards as the market and card prices are lower that usuall.
One card I noticed directly and started to love was Igor Darkspear a epic card of the water element only having 2 in mana, even doh it has 4 in health, 3 in speed in level one. It only has 1 in attack but with a card just having 2 in mana do I consider this good. Igor can in most cases take one hit whitout dying which is a trait I love. Igor can by this protect other more vital units in two rounds from attacks in many matches, providing necessary protection while only taking up two in mana.
In level four can also igor provide you with stun, protecting your first unit from an attack by your opponents first unit, this while having two in attack. The only disadvantage having Igor in level four is the lower health of four. In level two and three in Igors health upped to five, whats best one more in health or take away one in heath for stun?. For me is the stun more valuable to have. If you can afford a Igor level 5 do you get that one in health back. However do I find Igor a valueble piece to have in low cap mana battles, even in high mana cap battles sometimes. I don't think people realize yet the possibilites of having Igor. This is a card I soon think will sell at the 6-7 USD mark or even higher.
Another water unit I like in high mana battles is Nerissa Tridawn an epic unit having 9 in mana. This unit will provide a lot of damage, it will even provide a decent damage to magic resist units. This because she's having a magic damage of three. She do also have a decent amount of health. I like having here in position two or three in battles depending on the setup and mana cap.
If we up here to level 4 do we also get one more health point as well as one more in speed and the best part is that she is now having four in magic damange, this is making your opponent cry for help.
Another card I loooove and I think is nessacery to have for the earth splinter which has changed it's focus to units making magic damange is Queen Mycelia. This unit can provide some necessary protection from snipe, opportunity or sneak ability units as Queen Mycelia provides every units with two in armour. Your units will now last one or two rounds more and will now have time to do more damange before dying. This is a golden card to have in your pocket in my opinion preferably in you meet an opponent playing the fire or life splinter.
This is a card in the higher price range but I don't think this is a card with a high priority to level up. This is a card in my opinion which is okey to have in level one as there is other cards in the higher priority range. Making this card a one time cost many cases if your not going to advance futher than gold at least. Our Queen is a legendary card only produced in a few examples, so grab one while having a chance getting it at a cost of around 68-70 USD. Just a few days back was the Queen sold for about 50 USD, the price is going up fast on this one. This is a card I think soon reaching the 100 USD mark.
This is a few of the new cards I enjoy playing often getting me a good advantages in many battles. Stay tuned for more articles related to Splinterlands and guides how to utilize the airdrop in the best way for finance or gameplay! Have a good day and battle hard!
