Greetings Players of Splinterlands,
The Archmage Splinterlands Automation service has a library of historical battle data that it uses to select optimal hands from your collection of Owned, Rented, or Delegated cards.
Many users have asked if they could get better results by giving the automation service different cards to work with. So we took a look at the data and found the top 30 most suggested cards by the Archmage Splinterlands Hand Selector.
But we didn't stop there! We also looked at what summoners are commonly paired with each of these cards so you can make the best choices for your collection and gameplay strategy.
And because we care about the entire Splinterlands ecosystem, we're sharing this valuable information with everyone - not just our own users.
If you're looking to get an edge on your opponents in the game, consider picking up some of these cards!
Methodology: How We Generated This List
To create this list, we had our hand selector algorithm choose a hand for each conceivable ruleset and mana cap in each league, assuming that every card was available. We then totaled up the results to see which monsters were chosen the most frequently, along with their summoner.
The Use Score is a rating that compares the frequency with which the Monster/Summoner pair is picked among the top 30 cards. For example, a score of 100 vs. a score of 10 indicates that the card scoring 100 was used in ten times as many battles as the card scoring 10. All of the top 30 cards are utilized frequently, however, these relative variances may help you determine which cards to focus on obtaining.
The Most Used Summoner's list simply adds up the frequency of a Summoner in each of the associated Top 30 Monster/Summoner pairs lists.
Here are the top 30 monsters suggested by the Archmage Splinterlands Hand Selector, along with the summoners that they were paired with for each league:
