Calculation of magic monsters power.

Introduction:
The hypotheses is that there is a powercreep in splinterlands. To prove this we need a way to quantify the monster power.
This is a work in progress:

This part is about quantify the power of magic monsters.

The power of magic attack monsters:
Magic has the benefits of ranged, close range, ignoring armor and never miss. Compared to ranged attack monsters, the monsters have even lower health and speed. Around 1 health and 2 speed less. (compare to melee this is 4 monster power less) This also works out for the powercurve.

The rules to calculate monster power so far:

1 health is 1 monster power.
1 armor is 2 monster power any additional armor is worth 0.5 monster power.
1 Speed is 0.5 monster power.
1 attack is 0 monster power,
2 attack is 2 monster power,
3 attack is 3.5 monster power any additional attack is worth 0.5 monster power.
Rare monsters are worth 0.5 and Epic monsters 1 more monster power.
Neutral monsters adds 1 monster power for flexability.
Ranged monsters are worth 2 additional monster power.
Ranged monsters are worth 4 additional monster power.
1 mana cost is roughly 1.4 monster power

Cards to mention:
Dax Paragon is a powerful monster for the mana cost, nothing really special, the monsters powers are very close. If there will be a +1 magic light summoner, this will be a stable pick.
Elven mystic Elven mystic still won a lot in lower tiers with the +1 magic summoner. But it's still a relative bad stats compared to other magic monsters.

Final thoughts:
Ability power quantification has yet to come. Ball point figures:

never miss is easy worth 1 monster power.
Ignoring armor only is worth at least 2 monster power.
Assuming close range makes sure you get another attack in it is also worth at least 1 monster power.

I think magic attack is way undervalued, especially with +1 magic summoners. That’s probably why almost all magic summoners have to attack the frontline, to make sure it's counterable.
