Optimizing Splinterlands Summoners: Maximizing Performance and Value

Presented here is an article focused on assessing the optimal Summoners in terms of their value for money. The data utilized for this evaluation is sourced from XBOT, an extensive database comprising thousands of battles, thus offering valuable insights.

To provide clarity, the ranking of summoners is based on their battlefield performance relative to the associated costs of renting or purchasing them. Consequently, it is important to note that certain highly effective summoners(like Yodin, Kitty, Valnamor, and so on) might not be featured on this list due to their relatively high price, which may render it more advantageous to allocate resources toward enhancing other components of one's deck.

So let's get started!

Bronze League

Summoner	Level	Price in USD	RENT Price DEC
Tarsa	2	3.407	1.09
Obsidian	2	4.586	1.80
Kelya	2	6.000	4.93
Thaddius Brood	2	4.091	1.85
General Sloan	2	2.460	1.61
Alric Stormbringer	2	30.204	8.40
Mylor Crowling	2	27.110	8.02
Bortus	2	5.598	2.27
Drake of Arnak	2	6.880	2.08
Delwyn Dragonscale	3	5.850	2.02

The Bronze League distinguishes itself from other leagues through its unique characteristics. In this league, certain abilities commonly found in higher leagues are notably absent, placing greater emphasis on raw strength during gameplay. Consequently, summoner cards such as Tarsa, Obsidian, Kelya, Mylor, and Alric hold exceptional value in this league. I find it intriguing that summoners of the caliber of Alric and Mylor do not occupy higher positions in the rankings, given their outstanding performance. However, it appears that their higher cost has played a significant role, resulting in their placement in the lower half of the table. Equally surprising is the inclusion of Delwyn Dragonscale within the top ten, considering he is classified as a common summoner. This unexpected achievement can be attributed to the remarkable adaptability that Delwyn Dragonscale brings to the battlefield since he is a Dragon summoner.

Silver League

Summoner	Level	Price in USD	RENT Price DEC
Tarsa	4	17.492	10.51
Kelya	4	31.014	27.05
Obsidian	4	22.665	22.50
Alric Stormbringer	4	105.069	29.26
Thaddius Brood	4	18.250	16.35
General Sloan	4	12.327	12.70
Tyrus Paladium	4	32.921	12.25
Lyanna Natura	4	15.413	4.16
Daria Dragonscale	3	32.297	8.73
Malric Inferno	4	35.000	3.00

The Silver League serves as an excellent starting point for Wild format enthusiasts. Here, players can acquire or rent older cards without incurring significant financial strain. It is worth noting that these vintage cards offer a delightful and engaging gameplay experience. Once again, the formidable trio of Tarsa, Kelya, and Obsidian claims the top positions in the summoner rankings. Undoubtedly, these summoners showcase remarkable abilities. However, it is important to exercise caution when contemplating a transition to higher leagues, as certain summoners like Obsidian may not exhibit the same level of scalability. As I plan to advance my alternate account into the Gold League and maintain my position there, summoners such as Daria Dragonscale and Tyrus Paladium hold considerable appeal, even if their rankings in the Silver League may not be as prominent.

Gold League

Summoner	Level	Price in USD	RENT Price DEC
Daria Dragonscale	5	85.000	16.62
Alric Stormbringer	6	249.990	44.51
Kelya	6	69.384	104.83
Tyrus Paladium	6	80.000	32.75
Tarsa	6	31.000	23.31
Lyanna Natura	6	46.951	14.62
Thaddius Brood	6	45.000	51.93
Zintar Mortalis	6	99.000	22.00
Quix the Devious	3	72.000	68.32
Obsidian	6	53.791	61.94

The Gold League provides an ideal platform for showcasing the remarkable capabilities of summoners such as Daria Dragonscale and Alric Stormbringer. These cards not only secure prominent positions on the league's ranking but also outshine even Kelya Frendul, who remains an exceptional summoner within the league. It is worth noting that Death Splinter truly excels in the Gold League, regardless of whether we consider the Wild or Modern format. As a testament to this, Thaddius Brood and Zintar Mortalis feature prominently among the top ten summoners. Conversely, Obsidian, despite its merits, experiences a decline in performance within the Gold League, ultimately occupying the last position. Upon expanding our perspective beyond the Gold League, it becomes evident that superior cards such as Immortalus, Mylor, and Lyanna reign supreme within the Earth Splinter, overshadowing the prowess of Obsidian.

Diamond League

Summoner	Level	Price in USD	RENT Price DEC
Kelya	8	138.500	106.11
Thaddius Brood	8	84.916	51.93
Quix the Devious	4	125.000	119.83
Lyanna Natura	8	147.602	14.62
Daria Dragonscale	6	155.500	20.46
Alric Strobringer	8	829.126	44.51
Conqueror Jacek	4	108.000	49.26
Selenia Sky	4	478.960	60.00
Tyrus Paladium	8	274.401	39.92
Tarsa	8	58.000	23.31

Transitioning from the Gold to Diamond League necessitates substantial investments, particularly when it comes to summoners. However, despite the significant costs involved, I am delighted to have made an investment in the form of Quix the Devious, who has proven to be an exceptional force within the Diamond League. Notably, Quix the Devious secures the third position on our esteemed ranking table, offering remarkable prowess at a reasonable price point. Additionally, we witness the introduction of fresh summoners such as Conqueror Jacek and Selenia Sky. The utility of Jacek lies in his invaluable +2 Speed attribute, often affording players a distinct advantage over their adversaries. Meanwhile, Selenia's presence as a Dragon summoner introduces a welcome element of versatility when assembling teams

Champion League

Summoner	Level	Price in USD	RENT Price DEC
Selenia Sky	4	478.960	60.00
Conqueror Jacek	4	108.000	49.26
Kelya	8	138.500	106.11
Lux Vega	4	850.000	454.00
Thaddius Brood	8	84.916	51.93
Grandmaster Rathe	4	109.000	43.40
Byzantine Kitty	4	2652.156	1182.98
Immortalis	4	164.970	129.00
Quix the Devious	4	125.000	119.83
Crypt Mancer	4	1249.990	46.71

Achieving a successful season completion in the Champion League poses significant challenges, particularly when adhering to a budgetary constraints. Notably, the emergence of Selenia and Jacek occupying the top two positions within the league is intriguing. Furthermore, Lux Vega, although highly desirable, proves to be an expensive option even for temporary rentals. Byzantine Kitty, a truly formidable force across various formats, remains an exceptional addition to any deck. Additionally, summoners such as Thaddius Brod and Grandmaster Rathe significantly enhance the capabilities of the Life Splinter, elevating it to an entirely new echelon. These selections warrant careful consideration, as they offer substantial strategic advantages amidst the competitive landscape

Summary

Wild format is fun but it is also more challenging and it costs more to get a decent deck, of course, if you want to buy cards that are not part of the Chaos Legion expansion. In most of the leagues, we have a few summoners that we use in Modern format as well and those are Tarsa, Kelya, Thaddius Brood, and Obsidian. Those summoners are amazing and in pair with some amazing summoners that were realized earlier. Try to plan in which league you want to play and use these tables as a reference to what work where. It could be painful if you spend a lot of money on certain cards just to fin out that those cards are not that good in your future league. Sure, you can always sell those cards, but that takes time, and time is money here. Of course, do your own research accordingly to your financial capabilities and your preferred style.

This presents an opportune moment to strategically acquire new cards and revitalize your deck. It is essential to exercise caution, as the influx of new players can potentially lead to heightened demand and subsequent price fluctuations within the market. For those who have not yet embarked on their Splinterlands journey, now is an ideal juncture to seize the benefits of acquiring exceptional cards at special prices.
