Splinterlands: Water Deck for Beginners

Splinterlands has been fun for me! 

I love strategy games, coming from NarutoArena way back 2000s, this NFT game is enjoyable. Being a beginner, to get your rank up from Bronze III to Bronze II is hard compared to Bronze II to I. I guess because in B3 the only ruleset is Standard (no restrictions except mana costs) making it hard to select/build your splinter in battle. 

In this post, I'll be sharing my water deck. I rented the cards below.

Summoner: Alric Stormbringer

+1 Magic to splinters and just 3 mana cost. This makes this summoner great.

Tank:  Lobstradamus

 For its hit points at 9 and ability to reduce damage from melee and range attacker, and just 6 mana cost this is a great tank although it is slow. Adding the +1 magic from Alric, you have 2 direct damage per attack.

Support:

• Venari Wavesmith  

This card adds armor to friendly monsters (plus +2 direct damage per turn), although it has 5 mana cost having this gives your low HP splinters protection from range and melee hits, specially if your opponent is fast and has the sneak or opportunity ability.

• Crustacean King  

I use this card if the ruleset is "Lost Magic", I just use the playable cards like Serpent of Eld, Deeplurket, etc.

• Creeping Ooze 

Rented this card also for slowing enemy and sometimes use as meat shield, position it in the back or next to the tank on second position.

Damage:

• Coral Wraith 

Love this card, Sneak ability +2 direct damage, with Alric, that +3 damage per turn.

• Nerissa Tridawn 

I got lucky to have this card by opening CL pack, a great damager +3 magic attack plus 1 from Alric. Place this in the backline as it can absorb hits because of its 9 HP.

• Icie Pixie

Love this card, it's fast so your opponent might miss and it's magic! +2 direct damage per turn with Alric. Pair this with Creeping Ooze.

 

Here's few of my battles at Bronze II:

 

All are cheap in Card Rentals store except Alric.
