Great analysis as always. I have to say that I'm surprised that Venari Wavesmith was so high in Silver. Before CL dropped, I saw him played all the time with Alric, but now I don't often see it and I figured that 2 extra armor (when Kelya already gives 1) was a little redundant. But I'll make sure to try it out.
Finally, I wanted to ask you how do you gather data and if it's complicated to do. I wanted to try and get some data like that, but only accounting for my battles, to see which cards perform better for my playstyle. I'd appreciate any help.
If you want to get only your own data it is not very difficult. It helps if you have some programming skills, but you can find all data on your last 50 matches here:
(insert your username for PLAYER)
So basically if you store that data once in a while you will have a good record of your matches. https://api.splinterlands.io/battle/history?player=PLAYER
There is a pretty good starting guide for using the splinterlands api here:

Wow, thanks a lot for the resources. I'll check them out. I do know some programming, so I hope I won't have much trouble doing it.
Once again, thank you!
