Let's Talk about Splinterlands - My Goal: Silver League Core Card Investments (Water Deck: (Splash 'em all dead and wet 🤣)
Here we are with another talk about @splinterlands, and today's topic would be my goal investments for reaching Silver League.
At some point, everyone sets their own target/goal on something, might it be savings, spending, investments, and accumulations.
Speaking of Target/Goal I would like to share mine for my silver Deck when the time comes, I will be looking at this post/list constantly to see where am I sitting. With these Decks, I believe I can already play competitively in Silver, might not be one of the top players or one of the greats, but I am pretty optimistic I could give a good fight with these cards, and they will give me very good results. Building this Deck will come right after I am done getting all my cards maxed out for Bronze and play competitively in the League.

I will still be focusing on main attributes/splinters that I feel will be the next meta of the game when they release the new format. Now, this is my "current" plan and can easily change depending on the changes in the game or how much the legendary summoners affect the new meta.
Water Deck (Splash 'em all dead and wet 🤣)
By the waters that crash upon our rocky shores… by the mysteries of the ocean deep… by the power of thunder and the chaos of lightning, we will never be ruled again!

Water is by far the best splinter for me, it can easily counter Magic and Melee lineup if you play it right.

CARD | LEVEL | BCX | EST.PRICE | BURN VALUE | ABILITIES | PRIORITY LEVEL | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Summoner | Kelya Frendul | 4 | 25 | $101.2 | 500 | + 1 Mana and + 1 Armor is the main ability of this summoner, at level 4 it has the ability to Summon Silver Level Cards, probably the most important card and the very first in my priority list. | MUST HAVE |
Deeplurker | 5 | 60 | $12 | 300 | The main ability of this card is Opportunity plus at level 5 it has 4 Melee Damage, 4 Speed, and 7 Health, definitely not a bad deal for a common card, with the opportunity this card can be a beast. This card can easily be your source of main damage. | VERY HIGH | |
Flying Squid | 5 | 60 | $4.2 | 300 | This is a good card for a common, and for that price, this is a great secondary tank with 3 Melee Attack, 4 Speed and 9 Health, it is one of the best secondary tanks that can attack in the second position. | HIGH | |
Deimonshark | 4 | 25 | $7 | 500 | These two ability works great together, imagine having a cheap Magnor through this card with 3 Melee attack, 4 Speed, 6 Armor, and 8 Health, this is a legendary stats, with Enrage this can easily increase up to x1.5 (rounded up) and it works with well with summoner Kelya and can be an absolute beast as a tank against almost any melee unit if you play it right, this card can win you a lot of games, just give it the right support and this can be a go-to card, and is good in Stampede ruleset. | Very High | |
Axemaster | 3 | 10 | $68 | 2000 | Double Strike is also one of the abilities that I like, and Axemaster was the perfect example of it and it fits the card perfectly, at level 3 it has 3 Range Damage, 4 Speed and 6 Health, like imagining the firepower this card has, having to attack twice it can dish out 6 Damage easily, with Kelya it will add 1 more speed and armor for sustainability. | Very High | |
Djinn Oshannus | 2 | 3 | $19.17 | 1,500 | These two abilities is a great combination against Magic-heavy lineups, it will give you defense against magic, while it also gives you chance to avoid magic attacks, Phase is a great ability and combining it with Void makes it super better if your opponent is running magic, you already know what to do | High | |
Baakjira | 2 | 3 | $42.18 | 1,500 | Baakjira can easily be one of the great tanks or secondary tanks in the game, three-ability legendaries are definitely forces to be reckoned with and so far Baakjira has the best support abilities among all Chaos Legion Legendaries with Slow, Void, and Strengthen you will have buffs and debuffs from a single card so it is definitely worth it. | High | |
Demented Shark | 5 | 60 | $36 | 600 | One that can be a good supplement on your Melee water Deck, with Inspire, this is a good addition especially on rulesets that all melee can attack from any position like Super Sneak, Melee Mayhem, and Equal Opportunity. Did you know: If you can use the Inspire ability twice in one battle, your Melee attacks will be catastrophic for the enemy | Moderate | |
Serpent of Eld | 4 | 25 | $105 | 1000 | It is always good to have a backup tank, and Serpent of Eld is one of the good tanks in the game, it is always good to be versatile especially with Even Stevens or Odd One's Out Ruleset, also Serpent Of Eld has proven himself a great tank especially against range or melee-heavy lineup. With 4 Attack, 5 Speed, 2 Armor, and 7 Health, with the addition of Dodge ability, you cannot touch him. | Optional/Moderate | |
River Hellondale | 2 | 3 | $28 | 1500 | Resurrect and Inspire abilities are epic, and think of it being available in a single card, would you not want to have it? Of course, I will want to have it, having Inspire from Range/Magic attacker is a big boost to your Melee units, and definitely is a great deal. The cons of Demented Shark is it cannot hit from the back aside from certain rulesets, while this card can attack from anywhere and it also has the ability to resurrect a fallen ally | High | |
Giant Squid | 4 | 25 | $22.75 | 1000 | Blind is a great ability especially with water splinter now, with Kelya who can give additional speed, an additional source of avoiding is definitely not a bad thing, it has great synergy with all this card and with the summoner and it can definitely fit perfectly in. I am also a great fan of the Blind ability, I have to say. | High |
Honorable Mentions| Supporting Casts:
Tank Heal. Restores a portion of the Monster in the first position's health each round. Restores 1/3 of the max health, rounded up.
Protect. All friendly Monsters gain +2 Armor.

Seems expensive, how would I do it? (My thoughts)
I have asked this myself, this deck alone is quite expensive(more or less $350), and I don't have this kind of money outside of the game, even within the game. But I know with a consistent effort I would be able to reach my goal, there's still a very long way ahead of @splinterlands and I still have a lot of time, but I wish I could do this within 6 to 1 year, I really like the game and I am in this game for the long term, so this is a long term goal instead of a short term one.
To achieve this I will be constantly blogging about splinterlands to buy cards off the market, and also convert 50%-70% of SPT I get in my posts to SPS, and when time comes that $SPS value could soar again, I will use some of them to buy cards, I am pretty bullish and I know in time I will reach this goal of mine.
Also, I know with the help of the dividends I get from the Cartel, I would be able to achieve this in no time. I am an optimistic person and I know this can be achieved. This might get expensive and would take a little bit of time but it is possible, as long as I manage my investments correctly and make a lot of effort in Hive blockchain, I know this is within my grasp.
This is only one of the Decks that I am trying to build and I am still adding Fire, Dragon, Neutrals, Life, Earth on my next posts, it will be too long to add them all in here so I decided to divide them into three or even 4 postings.

Love the setup and a goal set and wrote out is one thats achievable.
Every Step closer counts best of luck!
Thanks, man! Best of luck to you too!
Love the breakdown! Is water currently your main splinter, or is this just the one you're using to help get you to into Silver league this season?
!1UP
With the current set of cards, Water is my main splinter, it is the splinter I mainly used in grinding silver, but my cards are still not maxed for Bronze League. so I am a bit of disadvantage but Water splinter definitely helps me a lot.
You have received a 1UP from @entrepidus!

thats the spirit we need grind up
We definitely need to strive, grit and grind!
Wish you good luck in your plan. I will try to build a similar one. Currently my Keyla is on l2 with 10BCX and I have the monsters on the respective levels.
You are much further than I am, my Kelya is only at Level with 5 BCX. I mostly getting all my decks to bronze level before I upgrade them to silver.
I had 10 out of my packs so far. Godd thing is i can use one with 5 bxc for me and rent out one with another 5bcx as level 2 for around 3 dec per day
That is nice, wish I am in the same position, could not ask for more out of my packs XD
Anyway, have some !PIZZA
This is a great writeup, I like your table formatting and how you presented all the relevant information in an easy-to-process layout!
Thank you, I am still in the process of writing the next post about other Decks XD Hope you enjoy those ones too. !PIZZA
I like how you've done this, prioritizing the cards.
Personally, I have enough power to reach silver, but I suck at the game so each season I end up with 5 chests as I don't have time to learn playing more :(
The game could be complicated sometimes, but you must also check, does the card give you the power gives utility, or is it winning your games? I would always choose utility over power, but having power isn't half bad, even though you have the power and still, you are not winning matches it will be pointless, winning matches is better even without the power.
the power is something that came with opening packs lol and with buying the cards I wanted for renting or playing. that the total power was a certain level just happened to be, it wasn't planned. I would never buy a card based on power, I get that people rent it for that reason, but buying would not be smart IMO.
Good luck getting into silver!
Correct! Thank you and may the monsters be in your favor.
May they indeed forever be :) haha
I'm very proud that I managed to not open the packs I still have left.. but only bought a few instead. Hoping that will be in my favor as well lol
This is an awesome post about personal deck-building strategy it's always a good thing to have clear plans moving forward.
Thanks for sharing! - @alokkumar121
