Greetings Splinterlands! Fresh on the heels of what was the most exciting @splinterlands town hall in quite some time, we've got some pretty exciting new stuff to begin speculation on.

Legendary Summoners

We've all seen 'em. We all want 'em. Now let's apply some early, potentially pipe-dreamy, speculation towards their abilities.

Grandmaster Rathe

The first of the legendary summoners that will be released via our next airdrop (a mere 525k packs from now), the Life summoner, Grandmaster Rathe, has been in our sights longest.

Immunity seems to be the biggest whisper amongst the Splinterlands' faithful, so for the sake of argument, let's take our hypothesis elsewhere (though not entirely - see final line for where immunity remains in play).

Outside of my beloved Pelacor Conjurer, team Life is quite susceptible to the magic play, so I'd love to see the Grandmaster's skills in the way of phase. Seeing that phase is worthless without much in the way of a speed differential, and given that Life not known for their quickness, I'd expect that the phase ability comes paired with a healthy speed boost.

A few of the CL cards, namely Adelade Brightwing and Soul Fiend both earn their swiftness stripes at the highest level - perhaps a phase summoner will be in the company's best interest, as well, in encouraging folks to go for diamond/champ where these cards, with their speed buffs, become playable.

Final line: GM Rathe - 8 mana; +2 speed; Phase; Immunity to tank position

Immortalis

Slated to be released once we break through the 12 million pack mark, the Earth summoner, along with his magical mutt companion, will be entering the arena.

Our next summoner bears both a staff and a wicked blade (not to mention we've got two characters gracing the cover of the card), so I am gonna wager that we'll be getting two attacks for the price of one via a double strike ability being bestowed upon the tank position.

Now, I realize this won't do much for everyone's favorite double striking beast in Grund, so Immortalis' next trick will benefit the likes of him. Known the world over as man's best friend, dogs are loved for their loyalty. Also known to always have their master's back, even despite the odds, so it is with this in mind that I am calling for a retaliate boost to the tank position card, as well.

The third summoner ability I believe that Immortalis will bring to the table for those who choose to summon him is rust (or shatter). This would find him granting an ability that plays nicely with the likes of double strike and retaliate and is not too OP in the current Earth magic meta.

Final line: Immortalis - 8 mana; Double strike + Retaliate to tank position; Rust/Shatter

Astral Entity

Finally, the summoner I am personally looking most forward to, our Death summoner. Set to come just after Immortalis, he'll become available in the Spinterlands world beyond the sale of our 13 millionth pack.

Sticking with the traditional conventions of Death summoners in debuffing & nerfing opponents, and playing against the current speed meta, I am of the belief that Astral's first ability will be to slow the opponent. He looks, and is named appropriately, of the type of otherworldly being that doesn't concern itself with time, so why not put a stop to it for those bold enough to face it?

Now, I realize that abilities don't often repeat themselves between successive summoners, though it has happened in the past, so I am gonna go out on a limb here and project that AE will carry over one of Thadius' abilities and bring a magic nerf with him. After all, he doesn't look like one that would be much bothered by a little magic flung around in the arena.

Finally, Death has long been starved for a healer of some sort - outside of Theorosa Nighshade and Cursed Windeku - healing is a non-existent ability in the dark world of Death. AE is looking to change that. He'll be bringing a triage in his arsenal to sustain his deathly warriors.

Final line: Astral Entity - 8 mana; -2 speed; -1 magic; Triage

Whoever is directly controlling the V2K told me to kill myself.
They told me if I killed myself now it would save the lives of countless others.
Saying the longer I wait to kill myself the more people will suffer.


They are reckless and should have shown the proper media what they had before taking me hostage for 5 years. I know there are many in prison that dont deserve to be there because of this. Your stay in prison will not be fun @battleaxe and friends. People are going to want you dead when they find out what you did. I hope you die a slow painful death. You sick mother fuckers.

Its a terrorist act on American soil while some say its not real or Im a mental case. Many know its real. This is an ignored detrimental to humanity domestic and foreign threat. Ask informed soldiers in the American military what their oath is and tell them about the day you asked me why. Nobody has I guess. Maybe someone told ill informed soldiers they cant protect America from military leaders in control with ill intent. How do we protect locked up soldiers from telling the truth?

Cool predictions! I was thinking along the same lines with Immortalis. I'd be pretty disappointed if that dog didn't give some kind of extra attack.
