The dead of Water Monster Era
Problems
This Chaos Legion Updated was kill Water Monster Era cause Alric Stormbringer didn't free to play anymore, we have to buy it.
Affects
Because of this update, Djinn Oshannus price/rent price drop 50% before this update. For who the one holding Djinn Oshannus it's a bad things cause before this update Rent Price around 13 DEC/day and Card Price around $42, now it's drop untill 4-6 DEC/day and Market Price around $20.
This update affects many to Water Deck's user, not just Djinn Oshannus but all of Water Monsters price drop significantly.
Conclusion
This update have pro and cons cause when Water Monsters drop, then the others deck will be RISING, it's good for the economy for Splinterlands. Besides we mad or somethingelse, why don't you move on from Water Monsters to the other strong decks.
Player must adaptation with the game, the game will not adaptation with the player.
I myself still can't move on, so i still rent Alric (30 decs) and Djinn Oshannus (3.6 decs). If you love to play with Magic Decks and want it cheap or even free, try Earth Magic Deck. I've explain some of the good cards here : https://peakd.com/newmeta/@renora/will-water-magic-meta-change-into-earth-magic-meta. Good luck 👍
I don't think that the water deck is dead yet though. Also, Djinn Oshannus is still very useful as a damager and as a tank against magic attacks due to his high health and void ability that reduces magic damage. And at level 2 he get another ability that allows him to dodge magic attacks. Pair him with Bortus and the he'll last long against opponent that uses magic.
