Finding value in Splinterland cards – Elven Mystic

in #splinterlands • 2 years ago

Hi all,

Introduction

Another post in this series. Thank you for your support in the previous posts 😊

This series intends to determine if there are other aspects of cards that may contribute to increasing its value. Based on your feedback I can focus on more/other things – so feel free to tell me where you want me to go into further detail.
I include some analysis on where the cards fit in terms of strategy and a market analysis of the price of the card in previous months. Feel free to suggest what more do you want me to look into.
In this edition I will be looking at the Elven Mystic.

Strategy

I will be focusing my analysis on the usefulness of this card in lower leagues (i.e. bronze to gold).
This card’s main advantages are being a magical neutral card with 3 HP (which seems low but is actually not that bad compared with most Magic Cards). This card can be very useful under Magic Summoners such as Alric Stormbringer and Obsidian, but even under other summoners can see a lot of play (most notable example is under Kelya Frendul). A typical use case is under the Little League rule set, where it can be very useful.
This card may see more use in medium mana battles, and its actually a good option – moreover as it is now around the 1.5$ price range. Bots seem to love this card….

Market Analysis

A good card to have, currently reaching very low prices.
Let’s look at the last 6 months.

Looking at the graph, the following can be concluded:

  • in regular foil, there is a downward trend, which may continue. But more importantly I would say it depends on the performance of the market.
  • in gold foil, there is also a downward trend which seems to have encountered a resistance at 15$. The next few weeks will determine if this resistance will hold.

Please let me know in the comments if there is any further information you would like me to include in future analysis.
Stay safe!

For noobs like me, who don't have all the symbols for the abilitites memorized yet, a mention of their names and what they do would be useful :)

Yay! 🤗
