i think the Venari cards might be the most impactful for general #Splinterlands gameplay, especially in the Bronze/Silver leagues. i'm disregarding Venari Heatsmith because that's a different sort of card (and an interesting choice by the devs for that). pardon the image below with missing artwork, it's mostly for stat / price reference, from monstermarket.io i'm personally expecting the price to go down before it goes back up, so i can't help but check this page multiple times a minute (i'm doing it now aaaahhhh!). all of these abilities are powerful and offer interesting things to their Splinters: -- Earth gets Seedsmith, 2 ranged attack with Scavenger, a back-line monster that can potentially gain enough health to tank on the frontline for a few moments at the end of battle -- Water gets Wavesmith, 1 Magic attack (go Artus!) with Protect so he gives your team +2 armor, which seems super useful -- Death gets Bonesmith, 1 Magic attack and Life Leech. a mini Ancient Lich with more speed 👍👍👍 -- Life gets Crystalsmith, 1 Ranged attack with Tank Heal. heals are strong, period. all of these cards add resilience to your line-up, create more ambiguous situations for your opponent, and offer new potential to their Splinters. i'm tempted to buy now so i can mess around with them, but i'm sticking by my thought that price will decline as more cards are minted before it starts to rise again. the exact timeframe is hard to predict so i won't try. if you need me, i'll be watching the monster market.
