In this series, I analyze the top battles of the day to reveal which summoners and monsters are most successful for a given league and format. What better way to improve our Splinterlands skills than to study what the best players are doing?
For those of us who buy, rent, or rent out cards, I'm also hoping that this series can inform us of which cards to acquire for maximum effectivenes.
This has been a fun and educational project for me, and I plan to improve it over time. Stay tuned for reports to be published for all leagues and formats throughout the week.
