Hello there! 
@saydie here, playing Splinterlands everyday!
Starlight Caravan was Splinterlands' most recent set, but unlike the typical card set that is designed to be on Modern Ranked, this new set was specifically made for Frontier Mode, though just like Frontier cards, you can also use Starlight Caravan in Modern to some extent. This set consisted of 6 Archons and 30 units, all of which are capped at Silver level. They also had a far higher mana cost in contrast to their stats and abilities so that they would not overshadow Modern cards with the same card level.
In this post, I want to take a look at the Life cards under the Starlight Caravan.
Starlight Caravan Life Cards
There are a total of 5 cards under the Starlight Caravan Life Element. Four of them were Life units, while the remaining one is an Archon. Their stats and abilities were not that strong in comparison to other modern cards of the same level, but if it is mainly for Frontier use, then having more cards gives the player more flexibility and advantage than their opponent, but does not necessarily mean that they will become a big hurdle in Modern.
Shaka is a non-damage unit with the Orc Bloodline, meaning that it does not have an attack. Furthermore, it has the Untrainable debilitation, so players can't use Weapon's Training to give an attack on this card. That said, it has the Amplify ability, which increases the damage from reflected damage, such as Thorns, Return Fire, and Magic Reflect.
When it comes to its general stats, it has a maximum health of 7 and a maximum speed of 2 for only 3 mana, but since it cannot attack or be trained to have an attack, its speed was pretty much negligible. There also hasn't been a 3-mana card in Frontier until Starlight Caravan was introduced, so the addition of this card will certainly change how some matches are played.
On the other hand, Skarz the Strong is a melee unit with the Orc bloodline, but it doesn't have an ability that will allow it to attack on positions other than the first. But it has a maximum of 9 health, and even with 2 speed and damage, it can still be a good tank alternative for only 6 mana.
Furthermore, it has the Magic Reflect ability that will return a portion of magic damage it receives from the attacker.
For the only epic unit, "Remarkable Razim, which is a Djinn magic unit, it has a maximum of 5 health, 5 speed, and 2 magic damage, so although this card has quite low health for a 7 mana cost, it has a high chance to dodge melee and ranged attacks with its speed.
And if it doesn't, it has the Divine Shield ability that will nullify the first attack that the opponent inflict on this card.
And for the Life Legendary unit, we have Master Bram, who has the Celestial Bloodline. At max level, it has a max health of 6, max speed of 4, max armor of 1, and a max range and magic damage of 1 for a 9 mana cost card. It may not be that powerful, but just having two attack types increases its utility, particularly with the rulesets that it can play.
Aside from that, it has the Flying ability that gives it immunity from Earthquake damage and a 25% chance to evade both melee and ranged attacks. It also has Strengthen that will increase the health of all allied units by 1, so long as this card remains at play.
Finally, with the only Earth Archon of the Starlight Caravan, Astrix Skyseer. There was not much to say about this Archon, since it does not give any type of abilities to units, and even though it's an Awakened Beast Archon, it does not have a Bloodline Dominion, so you cannot really use it to summon Awakened Beast units from other elements. Its saving grace is that it only costs 4 mana to use, so it is far cheaper than the other Frontier Archons and makes it possible to have Little League Battles in Frontier.
Closing
And those were the Earth cards under the Starlight Caravan. Some great takeaway from it is that Frontier now has a 3-mana card, a less mana-hungry Archon, and a new ability that could help players win their matches when properly utilized. And compared to the other elements that I have tackled, the character designs for Life card would be my favorite so far.
