Best Low Mana Decks for Newbies (12 Mana and 14 Mana) - Splinterlands New Player Guide #02

(Edited)

Hello everyone!

If you're a new player that just purchased the 10$ Summoner's Spellbook, you need a solid deck to win Low Mana games. I'll share, in this guide, a simple strategy that will help you winning 12 Mana and 14 Mana games using only your starter cards.

Summoner

You'll be using the summoner Zintar Mortalis, the Death Necromancer. His ability is giving -1 Melee Damage to all enemy monsters, and in Novice/Bronze League, the majority of the players use Melee monsters.

12 Mana Deck

Your 12 mana deck will use the Haunted Spirit as your Tank, and the Twisted Jester as your Ranged damage dealer.

The Haunted Spirit is a incredibly strong frontline monster, with his Heal ability. In Low Mana games, it's extremely difficult to kill him as the other team won't be able to deal more damage than his own heals.

Behind him, the Twisted Jester will be able to deal 2 damage per round on the enemy's backline. As he has himself 4 health points, it's extremely probable that he'll kill the enemy backline monster before dying.

14 Mana Deck

The 14 mana deck uses the same cards as the 12 mana, but you'll add the Undead Priest in the second slot, behind the Haunted Spirit.

The Undead Priest has the special ability Weaken, that gives a -1 Health to all enemy monsters. This will allow the Twisted Jester to kill with ease the enemy backline, as Ranged/Magic monsters usually have 3 or less health. With the Undead Priest debuff, they'll end up with 2 or less health, thus being killed one-shot by the Jester.

You'll put the Undead Priest in the second slot as he can also act as a secondary tank, with his 3 health, allowing the Twisted Jester to shoot a few extra rounds in the backline if the enemy somehow kills the Haunted Spirit.

Conclusion

As always, this strategy isn't foolproof and can be countered by a smart opponent with stronger cards or good strategy. But, as a new player, it's a very simple but reliable combo to win 12-mana or 14-mana games using only your starter cards, without having to buy or rent anything else.

I wnated to give your sound strategy a try so I played a few games to see if I could get a 12 or 14 mana game. Of course the one time I actually want a low mana game I did not get one at all. Hoever, I did go on a 6-game win streak. So I suppose this exercise was a success overall. ;-)

Nice streak!
The death summoner is also one of my favorites for low mana battle with pretty much the same cards.
