Hi splinters,
There are many new players coming from YGG and I would be glad to share my experience from the gold league perspective (+silver tournaments/ bronze & novice brawls),
While it is true that you have to invest to have a good deck, there are some underrated cheaper cards that you can sneak from the market for cheap or rent out.
Today`s pick is Gelatinous Cube - this monster has no attack, but it is insanely attractive in a low mana cap. When you know that your opponent has little to no damage - you will just outheal them to death. GC has a scavenger ability, which adds +1hp for all the dead monsters on the battleground and an in-build heal.

In the battle against @playingthegame we used our sneaky strategy - to absorb all the damage and kill our enemy by fatigue.
Gelatinous Cube will be especially powerful in the following rulesets:
- Earthquake (non-flying monsters take 2 damage at the end of each turn)
- Noxious Fumes (all monsters start a battle with poison [-2hp at the end of each turn])
Now, how much will it cost one to get a GC lvl 6 (you can go for lvl 8 if you have extra funds) = $0.21 * 52 copies = $10.92
A great investment that will pay off in no time! Careful, some enemies might be really upset to see the wall that they are trying to heal but just miserably fail.
Thanks for the insights! I just started playing Splinterlands and am still trying to make sense of strategy.
