Splinterlands Investment Tips - Cheap Cards to BUY AND HOLD!!

INVESTMENT CASE #01: ONE-TRICK SUMMONERS

People LOVE "easy tricks" to win, and things aren't different in Splinterlands.

Everyone's looking for straight-foward, "guaranteed" ways to win matches, and that's why these two Summoners are always recommended. Lots of people wanting to buy these cards means that they're good investments.

Brighton Bloom, especially on the lower leagues, is almost a foolproof way to win matches with "Earthquake" ruleset, as it gives all your monsters Flying, bypassing the whole Earthquake mechanic.

Mylor Crowling is very much similar, guaranteeing a win on "Up Close and Personal" ruleset: if everyone's playing only Melee monsters, how can you lose a game if every time the enemy attack, he's also dealing 2 damage to himself? Mylor is also incredibly strong on "Melee Mayhem" ruleset, as people tend to play lots of Melee monsters in these matches.

These 2 summoners will keep being demanded by both new and old players, as they're very easy to play with and increase the win rate on some matches to almost 100%.

INVESTMENT CASE #02: COUNTERING MAGIC MONSTERS

Magic Monsters usually dominate the lower leagues (Bronze/Silver/Gold) as they simply bypass the Armour mechanics. Before Chaos, the "Venari Wavesmith + Alric Stormbringer" combo was being played every goddamit time; now, with Chaos, everyone's playing the Forest Summoner Obsidian.

Cards that are able to counter Magic Monsters will always be in high demand!

The Crystal Werewolf and the Mushroom Seer are the cheapest cards with the Silence ability (-1 Magic to all enemy Monsters), as they have this ability at level 1. Everyone's who's tired of getting beaten up by Magic monsters will end up buying these 2 cards, unless they're willing to drop A LOT of money on the game to level up some other cards like Death Elemental or Warrior of Peace.

INVESTMENT CASE #03: STRONG LOW-MANA CARDS

Splinterlands is a game with a Mana Mechanic; people that are used to play card games with Mana restrictions (like Magic the Gathering and Hearthstone) knows that the player who better uses their Mana usually ends up winning the match.

That's why strong, low-mana cards will always be in high demand: they allow the player to fit an extra monster in their team, optimizing his mana economy and giving him an edge over the enemy. Usually this edge is enough to tip the balance on his favour.

Furious Chicken is the most obvious card: it's the only Splinterlands card with 0 mana cost. You can literally fit this in any team with 5 or less Monsters, and you'll already be ahead of your enemy. In low-mana matches, you'll play the Furious Chicken 100% of the time.

Creeping Ooze is the poor man's Furious Chicken. Costing less than 2 USD per card, he's a 1-Mana Monster that has the Slow ability, reducing the Speed of all enemy Monsters. You know that odd 1-Mana that's left after you built your team? Just fit the Creeping Ooze in there, and use that extra mana in your favour.
