I agree with Joshman about getting the furious chicken if anything else. A no Mana card is very handy in the Bronze/Silver Leagues as there are quite a few low mana cap battles. The Mischevious Mermaid is a great hard and I really hate facing her with Alric, so Alric is definitely a keeper as he is in high demand.
I would suggest focusing on 2-3 Splinters for now and if you like the Water Splinter, you can use Bortus + Torhilo + Oshannus to counter magic. This way you can maximise the deck strength without having to add too much cards.
I just rented a Chicken for 2 weeks for 2.45 DEC. I think that's a good steal as the price just jumped up $3 since I posted this. I'll track the price and see if it turns back down. I was initially debating Torhilo last week and might actually make that move.
I used Bortus earlier today with the -1 and it saw the value of having Oshannus in the lead against magic with the 0 damage versus powering everyone up and leaving room for defeat. Good tip.
Just saw you got Torhilo too. That would make it good against the magic counter Earth splinters as Torhilo hits pretty hard to start. The beauty of the game is there are so many counter strategies and counter counter strategies......lol. Just need more $$
