Hey splintermaniacs, you may have noticed that the DEC floor was applied in Splinterlands and now we need a certain amount of power to move forward in the leagues.
There are many divided opinions about how this measure affects players and the profits they make from the game. For my part, I believe that while it does cut into our rewards a bit, the measure will positively affect the economics of the game which will ultimately benefit the players.
You may find yourself in the dilemma of wanting to increase the power of your collection but you don't have much to acquire those powerful cards you need to be in the Champion League. Let's suppose you already have some good cards and your deck is somewhat competitive, you just need to increase the power of your collection to advance, then what you need is to buy the cards that generate more power for every penny you invest in it.
In the following tables I show you in an orderly way those cards that generate that power in the most economical way possible, taking into account the different editions, rarities, foils and their lowest market value per BCX.

How did I get these numbers?
I obtained the market prices by consulting the Splinterlands API through the following link:
https://api.splinterlands.io/market/for_sale_grouped
Then I divided the burn value in DEC of each card by the lowest price available in the market to obtain the Power*$ of each card.
Thanks for taking the time to read my post & don't hesitate to leave your comment, see you at the game.

Very interesting list of cards to raise your collection power. Keep in mind that you can also rent cards for usually very little money to achieve the same.
You are absolutely right, rentals are the best way to raise power for less cost, but the advantage of owning the cards is that you don't have to constantly pay rent, plus the price of many of these cards are close to the burning value so there are almost no risks, since later you can burn or sell your card and recover the investment.
Good point!
Thank you - this was a great analysis.

Darthgexe! Hi!
Dude. Great info (and idea).
I've seen a lot of folks worried about just this thing.
And just right at the top there... Kretch clearly undervalued! Whoa.
I like charts. 😂
😍@carrieallen
Thanks @carrieallen, you know I like charts too 😉. Yes, 1500 power per dollar in a summoner is a bargain! I'm thinking about making another similar table but include the win rate of the cards, I haven't decided yet what formula to use.
