Three Gems for Silver Rank under $5 USD

In the hype of the Chaos Legion pack drop, while the rest of the world is stockpiling DEC, I am picking up a few key cards that I think will prove to be important cards after the set release. It is really exciting to speculate on which cards are under valued in the current market. My goal is simple:

  1. Unique stats (likely to be important with the new set of cards)
  2. Good against the current meta (needs to withstand magic damage)
  3. Under $5 USD
  4. Focus on Silver Rank (the majority of players play in this rank and the rewards are excellent)

We all know low mana and colorless cards are outstanding, and I always grab any useful colorless and low mana cards first. Secondly, water is the current best deck in Silver Rank and Venari Wavesmith is by far the most important card in the mid rank meta (I make sure to have him first and foremost). The three cards I have chosen fit into my third tier of importance and I think are currently being overlooked. I also think evaluating cards that shut down current strategies in the format and are positioned to get better when a new set arrives.

Lava Launcher Level 1
High damage, high speed, and 11 points of melee defense is outstanding. Currently, you can build entire decks simply trying to optimize Lava Launcher and protecting him for a few turns. Lava Launcher also works as an excellent tank in the first position as the ability allows for attacks from the front. The fact that Lava Launcher is excellent from all positions means that he fits into many line ups and also pairs well with the Dragon Splinter cards.

Pelacor Mercenary Level 3
Even at Level 3, Pelacor Mercenary is quite inexpensive. A lot of good Earth tanks are rotating out of the format and I think we will find this card becoming more and more important as a front line tank that can dodge and also work well in Earthquake and poison rule sets. I plan to be running the Level 3 version of this card in Silver long after the new set arrives, especially with Mitca Headhunter and other good back line attackers.

Bone Golem Level 1
I expect the Death Splinter will be getting a big batch of powerful cards in Chaos Legion, because I think the Death Splinter is really under powered at Silver Rank. One of the best bronze rank cards Haunted Spirit is rotating out and this means we will see a big shake up for this splinter. Bone Golem sits in a great position with the magic protection, which is extremely important against all the strong low level water decks. I predict that Bone Golem as a tank, paired with some new cards/summoners, will end up being a direct answer to water. If this is true, Bone Golem will be heavily desired.

I plan to review this post and see if these cards are more important, or unplayable after Chaos Legion is launched and the format starts to become defined. Which cards do you think are undervalued and/or will be important after CL is launched?
