Splinterlands is an online collectible card game using the blockchain technology. Every user will need cards to play the game, these cards or assets are NFTs (Non-Fungible Token) which can be traded. These cards is used to play against other players. Now every card will have the unique ability and they are divided between Common, Rare, Epic and Legendary. The more the ability, the more it can help you to win the games and the more expensive it becomes.
Winning a small mana game is actually little tricky than the high mana game because in the high mana game you can have multiple great monsters and one of them can be a great warrior for your teamyoand can help your team to win. But in the small mana game you have to bring only one great warrior or few small warrior.
The problem with small Warrior is that, it might not help you to win always because the opponent can have a great warrior which can easily defeat these small warriors with single hit. And that's why having one good monster in a small mana game is required. Now the ideal monster can have everything but we don't have that always. So we have to play with whatever we have. Like for me the warrior is Djinn Oshanus of the water summoner with Alric Stormbringer which gives extra Magic Attack.
As the Djinn Oshanus is a magic attacker, having extra magic attack just helps the cause. So let's talk about a 12 mana game where the summoner takes up some mana and then you have to have some monsters. I recently played the 12 mana game where I have used Alric Stormbringer summoner taking up 3 mana. And then 2 monsters, one with 0 mana amd one with 2 mana and then Djinn Oshanus taking up 8 mana making a total of 12 mana.
And thus it was a close game but at last I won. I could have lost too but again having 0 and 1 mana monsters saved me. And thus DJinn helped me to win the game. Now I am not saying this is the best monster out there. What U am saying is that having a good card with less mana helps us to win these games which otherwise wouldn't have possible if we have only normal cards.
And I play this monster in big mana game as well as small mana game and thus it helps in winning me game in both the situations. So what's your strategy for winning the small mana game, 1 good monster or 2-3 small good monsters.
