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!
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:

What do you think of this list? Were you surprised by the list? Think there's a special card missing that you've found gains you an edge? Let us know in the comments below!
To buy all the Diamond + cards at Max lvl right now would cost about $5,500... well I think I know what my next project is going to be
Wow. The bias of this bot to use the more recent summoners is even worse than I thought. 😱
I think "worse" may be a matter of perspective :)
@almightymelon recently went on a 47-game win streak leveraging this data...
The other thing to keep in mind is that this data shows the selections most present across All Rules and All Mana Caps - I'm not sure if in the real world that the distribution looks like that or not (that you get an equal distribution across the different rules).
This data should be read that... assuming the entire landscape of a league (From the bottom to the top - and not just the top) that these cards are most selected when given all the different options to choose from. Not that they are always the best.
I meant "worse" in terms of what I personally was expecting, i.e a more equal distribution of summoners played. :)
I'm surprised that there is so little variety in Diamond and so few older summoners showing up.
The fact that melon can go on a 47-game win streak leveraging this data just confirms the bias from my perspective and that doesn't seem like a good thing.
It looks to me that if you want to be as successful as you can be with the bot you have to have a very specific set of summoners - Quix for example. And, as I've mentioned before I just see that getting worse as it gets played more and more.
However, as you say, it doesn't mean that Quix is the best, just the most often selected. That's probably significant in a way I'm strugglng to see. Stats are not really my strong point. :-D
So for Bronze + Silver --> BUY KELYA
Wouldn't have thought that Thaddius was even near the most used Summoners in Gold and actually can't really believe it. Atleast imo Kelya is 100x stronger.
Waka must be a joke :D

This is outstanding data. Wake-up call for all the homies sleeping on Thaddius... he's a menace, so don't sleep on him. Thanks for compiling this Mr. Melon!
Thanks for this data! im sure it was a big task to do for each rank :)
gives me some good ideas of cards to look to add and rent on my accounts who are still slacking
Wow, this is great data. Thanks for doing the heavy lifting guys.
Great Post! This info is incredibly useful for players that want to optimize their gameplay by investing into a few cards... on the Bronze League, Kelya is truly the king!
What I found strange is Quix dominating the Silver League.... any ideas why? Quix is a debuffer (-1 Ranged Attack), so he's (at least in theory) only strong against enemies that go Ranged-heavy... he shouldn't be the "default choice" as you can't be sure what strategy the enemy will play...
Also, can I ask something? A few weeks ago I tried to use Archmage, but gave up after a few minutes as I couldn't understand the differences between the tokens. Is there any post about the differences between ARCHMAGE, ARCHMAGEA and ARCHMAGEB?

What are the benefits of Alpha (
ARCHMAGEA
) and Beta (ARCHMAGEB
) Passes?ARCHMAGEA
counts for 2 entries,ARCHMAGEB
counts for 1 entry.All tokens get you access to the service, but Alpha and Beta tokens have the above benefits :)
Personally I think Quix works really well as it allows a speed debuf to combine with other cards that affect speed and miss chance plus the choice of any other available color. It opens up a lot of options for speed play and many different strategies depending on color combination.
Could even have other cards debuf melee/magic to just knock the enemy team down a notch across the board. Just recently acquired quix and a decent level Thaddius and it's impressive. Death and dragon were literally the ones I would reroll haha

Great post that inspired me to put more resources into my death and dragon decks, was neglecting those and literally had just these two set to reroll xD
Will we be seeing more of these kind of posts in the future? Wouldn't mind a monthly (or weekly!) edition on this kind of data.
Thank you, I am a newbie to the bot, this is really awesome info.
Lots of Death cards and Quix is king
It would be epic to get an updated list!
