Fantastic piece. It's all about synergy. You're spot on. Let the ruleset or mana cap trigger a memory of a duo or trio who do well, and you're halfway there.
For example, if I see Knockout I immediately think of these guys. Happily with more players, the opponents who find me predictable get fewer and further between ;)
Ayyy, thanks so much for this! It's great to hear from a Splinterlands player, I was a bit nervous I'd got some key detail about the game wrong, lol.
I had to wiki Magi Of The Forest and Spirit Shaman, but regardless... I love the practical tip you've offered here, let a ruleset or mana cap 'trigger' a memory of a related synergy! I could see that helping many players, if they apply it. (Hopefully this guide and it's comments reaches the people who need it, lol.)
And yes, I could see the recent surge in players affecting the predictability of things, from both sides, lol.
Thanks again Matt, wishing you lots of Splinterful success! 🙏
