The Overlap Circle Of Splinters
There are total 5 dual elements summoners available to use. We could draw the relations between those summoners as per image below.
This diagram shows that each Summoners are related to each other in circullar manners. Fire Splinter will always pair with Earth Splinter (through Brewmaster Abraxas) or Death Splinter (through Dolfar Darflak). And with it, each splinters will be locked out from pairing with the remaining 2 (two) splinters. In this case Fire Splinter had no chances to pair with Water Splinter or Life Splinter. So knowing these combination we could expect the type of combined collection we could utilize for certain Splinters. But before that we should get to know the current market price of each summoners cards, since this is the basic measure to understand the players preference.
Currently Prunda Undervesch has topped the tier on both regular and gold foil. The bottom tier will be Brewmaster Abraxas and Zeddica for gold foil. Regular foil doesn't show significant price difference and could be ignored for now. But gold foil show a huge gap between Prunda and Abraxas. So we should take attention of how Life Splinter and Water Splinter could synergize together.
Brewmaster Abraxas
Fire Splinter has been potrayed as the powerhouse for melee cards. The number of melee cards decorated with various target altering (Sneak and Opportunity) has allowed Fire Splinter to strike with enormous powers. On the other hand Earth Splinter had paint an image of a spellcaster collection, heavily populated with various magic cards possessing useful abilities.
But this isn't entirely true with the release of Rebellion editions. Earth Splinter has been augmented so much tough and high mana melee cards. Cards such as Lioceros, Endless Ape, and Mycelic Infantry; could pose to be a contender Tanker. And then the double Protect coming from Ferox Defender and Queen Mycelia could solidify their defence. All while both cards also have decent damage value which allows them contributed to damage dealt.
Earth Splinter also own 2 (two) cards posessing the new Lookout ability. This ability is very important to dampen incoming damage from Snipe, Opportunity, and Sneak. And both card will be important to dealt against harsh melee Striker.
With all these combinations, it seemed Fire Splinter and Earth Splinter could team up to create the most expansive melee collection. But this seemed to be the reason why Brewmaster Abraxas are less popular in the market. The sole focus on melee splinter has caused these combination to be less anticipative against other formation combination.
Prunda Undervesch
Its an understatement to say that Water Splinter gained addition to no specific cards type. Instead Water Splinter gained a powerful cards to the entire cards type. Take Chaos Rear Guard, a Tanker starting with 1 armor and 4 health which later grew into 6 armor and 9 health; and for just 4 mana cost. And then Life Splinter also own Silverblade Fighter which possessed Flank, but most importantly is the Void Armor at Level 2, where it will turn this card almost equal to Imperial Knight.
But the most powerful addition come from the ranged cards and magic cards. Aria Bandit, Mar Toren Seeker, and Sultry Barmaid are all the basic ranged cards which start at Level 1 with 2 damage. Heal and Tank Heal also become the tip of the sword on this combination. There are Anasth Soothsayer, Meriput Magician, and also Venari Crystalsmith; a whole lot of alternatives for heal to choose.
Final Opinion
The verstile and solid starting profile of Water Splinter and Life Splinter on rebellion editions has proven to propel the popularity of Prunda Undervesch. Its a great move to focus on Life and Water, not only for their combined collection, but also they both have Prophet Rosa and Avina Of The Wolf. These summoners are very powerful Summoner for their buff.
