Script to Estimate Costs of Splinterlands Deck

I have been always wondered how much would it cost to build a certain leveled deck. If you don't know Splinterlands has card level limitations in matches based on what league you are in. So, anyone can build a deck based on what league they want to compete in. From what I have seen, with determination you can reach one league up than your deck's league level.

If you are planning on building a new deck, here is a script for you to estimate how much it would cost.

How to use

Add card edition based on your need.

const editions = [1, 3]; // 0 = Alpha, 1 = Beta, 2 = Promo, 3 = Reward

By default it includes beta and reward editions of cards.

Comment out of remove splinters you don't want.

const splinters = [
  'Red', // Fire
  'Green', // Earth
  'Blue', // Water
  'White', // Life
  'Black', // Death
  'Gray', // Neutral
  'Gold', // Dragon
];

Add your target level.

const targetLevel = 'silver'; // novice, bronze, silver, gold, diamond, champion

You may not need to make any other changes but feel free if you want to customize.

Here is a short way:

git clone https://gist.github.com/750288082336c1c7039d32f8205f8b39.git
cd 750288082336c1c7039d32f8205f8b39
npm i tablemark axios

// make changes as needed
node  sm-cost-estimator.js

Result

Here is what you'll get if you run the script as is (beta and reward cards for silver league).
