| Name | Comment | Tier |
|---|---|---|
| Tyrius Paladium | Best one among the cheap ones. | B |
| Mother Khala | Cheap but weak benefit. | C |
| Lorna Shine | Good but it's hard to find a L6 or 5 for renting. Too expensive. | B |
| General Sloan | Really popular and affordable. My play style is to counter what is popular so i don't use it. | A |
| Kiara Lightbringer | Cheap but no benefit only +1 mana. | C |
| The Peakrider | My fav summoner in Life. It counters Sloan and Yodin. | A |
| Chanseus The Great | L4 Peakrider has similar price with L2 Chanseus. So no thanks. | B |
| - | Rn i always use Peakrider. After the wild/modern format i might try Khala just bc its cheap or don't use this splinter. | - |
| - | - | - |
| Chaos Knight | Paladin is better. | B |
| Blinding Reflector | Pel Conjurer is better. | C |
| Stitch Leech | Feral Spirit is better. | B |
| Sunkai Harvester | Could be useful vs no attack tanks. | B |
| Gargoya Scrapper | D | |
| Pelacor Conjurer | Most cost effective card in Life. | S |
| Chain Spinner | C | |
| Warrior of Peace | Not sure about this one. Never tried. | B |
| Baby Unicorn | Good card but hard to fit in to line-up for me. | B |
| Herbalist | Bard is better. | B |
| Lone Boatman | I rarely use snipe cards in my line-up bc of dmg focus but i must admit this is a solid card. | A |
| Crystal Jaguar | Good for 4 cost cap battles. | B |
| Cave Slug | I prefer Feral + Harpy for same mana. | B |
| Armorsmith | It's super good in some rule sets and always useful in others. | A |
| Silvershield Archers | I don't use this. Good with Sloan. | B |
| Silvershield Warrior | Sunkai is better. | C |
| Silvershield Knight | Core card for melee line-ups. | A |
| Feral Spirit | A | |
| Divine Healer | A | |
| - | - | - |
| Vulguine | C | |
| Pel Arbalest | I don't use this. Core card with Sloan. | A |
| Portal Spinner | C | |
| Time Mage | Speed and armor reduction is great but there are so many magic reflect in Gold rank. With 3 health this is bound to die early. | B |
| Celestial Harpy | A | |
| Venari Crystalsmith | Divine Healer is better for me. | B |
| Temple Priest | C | |
| Silvershield Sheriff | Good in high mana battles. L6 is too expensive though so i stick with L5. | A |
| Silvershield Assassin | Double sneak attack with poison. Yes please. | A |
| Shieldbearer | I rarely use this. Maybe i should i give it more play. 5 mana Paladin always seems like a better choice. | B |
| Luminous Eagle | Like above it seems good but i rarely use. Knight is same mana which gives plus 1 to all melee. | B |
| Truthspeaker | I don't need more shield. | B |
| Silvershield Bard | A | |
| Crystal Werewolf | Must have bc of magic heavy meta. Its also useful in back with thorns for sneak. | B |
| Clay Golem | There are better ways to counter magic. | B |
| Silvershield Paladin | A | |
| Peacebringer | Great attack for a 4 mana card. | A |
| - | - | - |
| Dax Paragon | If you can find a L5 for a decent price its S tier. | S |
| Prismologist | D | |
| Temporal Master | C | |
| Djinn Renova | A | |
| Hero of Beyond | C | |
| Lunakari Mistress | C | |
| Evangelist | C | |
| Thunderbird | Stun is good but too expensive in those levels. | B |
| Light Elemental | Another minus range is overkill for me. | B |
| Divine Sorceress | C | |
| Air Elemental | I usually rent this or Peacebringer. Mostly PB bc its cheaper. | A |
| Defender of Truth | Weak vs magic reflect and another +2 shield is overkill bc of the summoner i play. | B |
| - | - | - |
| Jared Scar | C | |
| Uriel | Not sure about this one. Attack could go to shield which would be a huge waste. | B |
| Soul Fiend | I rent chicken instead of class based 0 manas. | A |
| Adelade | C | |
| Lensmaster | B | |
| Kralus | Solid in high mana battles. | A |
| Bila | Another one for high mana. If you can find a L3 for a decent price its really good. | A |
| Darius | B | |
| Sacred Unicorn | B | |
| Angel of Light | C |
I don't try to have everything, just what i need most. From this list i rent A and S tiers. This set up is only weak against high mana magic.
I will not make a tier list for Silver because its's mostly similar. Main difference is Lorna being more affodable in lower levels.
