I’ll be sharing a series of quick-and-easy deck blueprints for the complete Splinterlands beginner. This will cover a starter deck for each Splinter using only the free starter set of cards. I’ll try to add a few suggestions for low cap mana and high cap mana battles too.
First out in the Splinterlands Beginner Starter Set Deck Series is the Fire Splinter.
The Summoner and the Stratergy
When I play with Fire, I like for my enemies to feel the burn fast! We’ll be playing a fast paced deck using speed to our advantage.
Out of the two free starter Summoners we’ll be picking Pyre. Pyre boosts all friendly monster’s Speed by +1. For this strategy we’ll be picking lots of fast monsters to maximize Pyre’s speed boost. Fast monsters also have a better chance at dodging attack, except for magical attacks.
1st Card (Tank): Living Lava
As our main tank we’ll be going with the Living Lava. This is a phenomenal starter card. It’s as slow as slow can be, but it’s main job is absorbing damage. It has quite high Health, and the Shield ability which reduces Melee and Ranged damage by half. This makes the Living Lava a great Tank.
Low Mana Cap Alternative
In low mana cap battles you could go with Cerberus instead. Cerberus is faster, but has lower Health. He comes with the Heal ability and is capable of regenerating lost health each round, making him a good low mana cap tank.
2nd Card: Giant Roc
For our second card we’ll use the Giant Roc due to its Reach ability. The Giant Roc also has the Flying ability and has a greater chance at dodging attacks from other monsters who aren’t flying.
Low Mana Cap Alternative
The Magma Troll is a great alternative if the Giant Roc can’t be fielded. The Magma Troll doesn’t fly, but it’s cheaper and still has Reach.
High Mana Cap Alternative
If you feel like investing in a card, Fineas Rage is great. A very high Speed so he can dodge a lot and attack first, and also he has high Health.
3rd Card: Serpentine Spy
The Serpentine Spy is fantastic. It has a very low health but a high Speed and a good Attack. Combined with its Opportunity ability, which allows the Serpentine Spy to attack from any position and to target the enemy with lowest health, this makes him a true killer.
4th Card: Kobold Miner
This little guy is a very sneaky addition to the deck. The Kobold Miner has a very low Mana cost, and the Sneak ability makes the miner target the enemy monster in the Last Position.
The Rest of the Deck
For the last cards in the deck, we’ll try to afford fielding a few fast ranged monsters.
The Spark Pixies are very squishy, but they pack one hell of a punch. They are a 5 Speed monster with Flying and as such they have a great chance at dodging enemy attacks. With their 2 Ranged Attack and 5 Speed (6 using Pyre), they’re sure to cause some havoc.
The Fire Elemental is a tiny bit sturdier and a bit slower Ranged monster. The Fire Elemental has the Blast ability and does additional damage to monsters adjacent to the target. A fiery whirlwind of devastation!
There you have it! I’ve been using this deck myself whenever I play Fire, and I’ve had a good performance out of it in the lower leagues. This is also currently my go-to deck for doing the Daily Quest whenever it’s a Sneak Quest.
There’s no doubt that this deck can be modified to even greater success, but using these free starter set cards, you’ll quickly get started winning more than before.

Hope we meet in the Arena!
