Combining Old Rewards Cards To Make Them More Useful

It is getting more competitive in Splinterlands thanks to more players and rentals changing the landscape. So, the level 1 cards that I used aren't going to cut it anymore. Time to combine some of the cards that I had been keeping and level them up.

Centauri Mage

The first one that I'm combining is the Centauri Mage. I combined 14 cards to get it to level 3. 2 magic damage is sort of the minimum, especially against Unicorn Mustangs.

Pelacor Mercenary

The second card I combined was the Pelacor Mercenary so that it has 3 attack. 2 attack is pretty low in the gold league when you have opponents using the shield.

Demented Shark

The Demented Shark at level 4 now has an effective 3 damage attack because of its Inspire ability. Useful if I use the Water Splinter in battles with only melee monsters or no magic monsters rule-sets.

Grim Reaper

The Grim Reaper at level 4 has 4 range attack damage which again, will be useful against opponents that like to use monsters with Thorns, Void or Magic Reflect. I'm thinking of that Mylor Crowling + Unicorn Mustang combination.

That's about it for now. The other limitation of course is that my Summoners are all level 3 or level 4. So there's no point combining the cards till level 5 or 6 for some of the other ones where the abilities start to get good.
