Higurashi, Duskbringer

Have you ever seen it? The complete void?
They say that when you stare into the abyss, it stares back at you. When that happens, you lose all remaining traces of your sanity forever.
What most don't know is why. They don't know what's hidden in there, but their mind knows. Deep in your mind, it will know when you stand before it.

Come to me when you have realised what's there.

Spoiler for Why?:
Pestal plus Silence equals complete and utter void. No sound, no animation, no life. Not yet.
But if you wish to control life, you must constantly suppress it. This deck embodies my username quite well because it was born out of a concept that found endless potential in nothingness. If you are one with the Aether, you will have traversed dimensions where absolutely nothing exists. Not even vacuum. The human mind cannot grasp this concept at all, just as it cannot grasp an infinite universe or even the concept of its own death.

Aether is the beginning of the universe; the beginning of creation. Without it, there would be nothing. But it is also the element of void dimensions and unspeakable dimensional horrors.
Darkness is the absence of Light and may seek to remove anything else as well. Combine these two elements and you will have the ultimate combination to rob your opponent of everything.

Regardless of these two elements, a blank slate means the potential for anything. There is always something refreshing about starting anew, whether it be a bigger project, a painting or a relation to another being. Why do you think this is so cathartic to the human mind?

The deck can be completely unbeatable by a non-Nova/Immo/QP deck with a good draw, and even more so when you add two Vamps and remove two Silences (though you will need even better draws). However, Vamps do not fit into the deck theme. On that note, Steal implies a too active role for the deck as well, so I cannot use it.
It has Aether pends because you want to start the Silence chain ASAP.

A deck based on my username

As few may know, my name is actually a variation of "I'm a noob", and when a player first starts, one of the main things they are thinking about is those high-attack creatures, such as dragons. This deck has absolutely no monsters. For someone first playing this deck, they may think the user is a 'noob', having no creatures, and seemingly no CC. To a new player, this deck seems like another easy win in PvP. However, their confidence is what will ruin them, as their large creatures get Animattered and then Liquid Shadowed, turning their creature into something that will heal me and hurt them until it is killed. They have fallen to the deception of nubility, something that happens in most games when persons are faced with others who they think can be taken down easily because of "noobiness".
Also, Entropy: chaos, lack of order. Darkness: The absence of light. When first using this deck, it may seem like the one using it is just playing chaotically, trying to confuse you. But they are actually keeping you in the 'dark', deceiving you until the opportune moment.

To be an overachiever, this deck could also be based on my forum picture/text under picture

The Shard of Readiness, or SoR, has the ability of making a creature's ability cost 0 quanta. The deck I am using never needs to use quanta for abilities.

To be even more of an overachiever, this deck is also based off of part of my signature: "How I wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of goodwill -- Albert Einstein"

In this deck, the user doesn't need to use creatures to attack the opponent, they use manipulation to make the opponent get attacked by his/her own creatures. This is a wise thing to do because, unlike most places, the user needs not sacrifice any creatures, thus not losing quanta on meaningless prospects. It is of goodwill because, face it, there are few 'casualities' in each battle, lessening the emotional strain on both players. And no one wants emotional card players!

Pegasus. A mystically divine flying horse. What could be more magnificent than that? Bestow it with the flaming power of Fire, that's how! It was said long ago, the Right Hand of Zanz ScaredGirl chose 12 brave warriors and granted them with the power of 12 different Elements. They were the original Masters of the Elements. One Master, a particularly handsome one, reigned gracefully and peacefully as the Master of Fire. Although his reign was short, it was most definitely sweet.

Shortly after he passed down his title to another, he left in search of great wisdom. His journey was a long and treacherous one  but he did not weave from his path, motivation and determination burning fiercely in him. Though it took him time to find the wisdom he sought, he did indeed find it. When his fire was nearly extinguished, he fell to his knees. There was a large gust of wind and as he looked up, a large blindingly white horse stood before him. Magnificent wings rose from its back like heavenly mountains. Legend has it it was the legendary winged horse Pegasus. Pegasus spoke down to the wandering ex-Fire Master in a voice not unlike Morgan Freeman, "One day in the future, you shall take my young clones and set them ablaze with your power. You have my Blessing."

As he took Pegasus' Blessings, a new fire began in the ex-master that day. Making the long trek back to the land of the elementals, he thought eagerly about when that day would befall him. When he returned, he quickly ran to his home. Catching the gaze of his own reflection, this mimicking avatar that was him, he knew. He knew the day when the Flaming Pegasi would be upon him.

I went one better, with an EM deck.

Spoiler for explanation:
I am Xenocidius. Darkness, aside from being my favourite element, contains all the cards necessary to perfectly represent my forum profile.

It begins with my name. 'Xeno' has been my alias for many years now, and the 'cidius' suffix merely came along because the name 'Xeno' was taken for so many online account systems. 'Xeno' is a prefix for 'stranger', as in 'xenophobia', fear of strangers. The stranger here is the thief in the art of the Steal card. He wears his cloak to hide himself from the rest of the world, so that he is always a stranger to everyone. The Steal card is used to use the enemy's strength against them, and is quite useful against the Elders.

My personal text is simple: 'Fear the darkness ...'. Fear in Elements is perhaps best represented by the card Nightmare. In the deck it serves as a utility card to deny the opponent's draw and provide damage and healing, helping with Elemental Mastery.

My signature is ':darkness Light provides knowledge, while darkness cuts it off from you. Fear it. :darkness'. The darkness cuts off knowledge theme is represented best in one particular card: Cloak. It limits the opponent's knowledge of what's happening on your side of the field. In the deck it serves as a utility card to help you set up unhindered, or to prevent the opponent from interfering when you are close to finishing them off.

And finally, my avatar. My avatar is a blend of Mark of Darkness and Siphon Life. In this deck, the mark is darkness, and Siphon Life is used. Siphon Life is a very useful card in the deck, providing creature control, damage, and helping with Elemental Mastery.

Name: 'Xeno' means 'stranger'. Here the stranger is represented by the thief in the art of Steal.
Personal Text: 'Fear the darkness'. The fear is represented by Nightmare.
Signature: 'Light provides knowledge, while darkness cuts it off from you'. Cloak cuts off knowledge from your opponent.
Avatar: Mark of Darkness and Siphon Life, both in the deck.

Win/loss: 10/0

My favourite colour is blue -- what better way to showcase it than a nifty :aether :air :water trio?

Spoiler for Explanation:
Pikachu is my favourite Pokémon, and the Electric-type is best represented by the element of Aether. As an element which excels at manipulating electricity (with cards like Ball Lightning and Thunderbolt), Aether is the perfect fit for Pikachu. Although rarely found, some Pikachu are also able to control the powers of water (Surfing Pikachu) and air (Flying Pikachu). To represent these abilities, the deck is primarily :aether with splashes of :water and :air.

The character featured on my current avatar is Jace Beleren, a planeswalker from Magic: the Gathering. Jace wields blue magic and specializes in mental magic. In MtG, blue is known for its utility creatures, game-changing spells, and sneaky tricks (such as copying creatures, countering spells, creature bounce, and creatures with evasive abilities). :aether :air :water embody these three characteristics in their own different ways. Mind Flayer references Jace's skill with manipulating the mind with its ability to lobotomize enemy creatures, Wings and Damselflies represent the arsenal of flying creatures at a blue mage's disposal, and Aether cards like Twin Universe mirror the MtG ability of copying creatures that is present on blue cards like Clone.

As for the deck, each card synergizes beautifully with the other cards. This perfect overlapping synergy is reminiscent of my favourite element (Aether) and its ability to work well with each of the other 11 elements. Damselflies generate :air quanta for Wings and fuelling the Web and Inflate abilities, Phase Recluse's Web shoots down airborne creatures for Wings to block, and Lightning and Mind Flayer (also Toadfish's Inflate to a certain extent) neutralize creature threats.

Explanation:
Earth and Gravity have always been my favorite Elements. After all it's those two elements that bind all others to this planet, yes even Air! :(
This deck brings the 4 elements featured in my avatar combined with gravity in an awesome and unpredictable quintet. They are all represented equally apart from the Gravity element binding them all.
My philosophy in Elements is to make every match different then the previous or next ones,  that's why this deck has so much diversity.
Last but not least: this deck is fun! Seriously, try it.

Card breakdown: 2 Officers, 4 Elite Soldiers and 4 Warriors
Spoiler for Hidden:

 :gravity Graviton Firemasters: a little synergy with fire, their HP saves them vs alot of the AI3 cc and they pack a punch when grown. You could call them the lieutenants of this deck.
 :gravity Chargers: the raw power of Gravity, they cannot be stopped. They're the elite soldiers of this deck
 :earth Steel Golem: my favorite! Cheap with massive defense. Earth's warrior.
 :earth Pulverizer: usefull in many cases, great synergy with Gravity.
 :earth Warden: a little defense is needed aswell, cheap card, capable of stalling alot.
 :life Forest Spectre: great synergy with water, another growing creature is nice in longer matches. Life's warrior
 :life Epinephrine: Awesome when used on a charger and great card overall.
 :life Heal: got me one EM at least, good and cheap card.
 :fire Fire Buckler: Needed a shield and this one does it's job!
 :fire Explosion: Some CC is crucial vs AI3. In addition to the pulvy, explosion is there to get rid of those shields!
 :fire Minor Phoenix: Rebirth is great vs the pack of CC AI3 has, small but resilient! Fire's warrior in this deck.
 :water Abyss Crawler: Good offense, good defense, good card! Water sends his warrior aswell.
 :water Congeal: Very cheap and reliable CC, this card represents water more then anything.
 :water Nymphs Tears: I wanted a fun deck with alot of diversity. This card is great at that. Allthough it's expensive, I've seen quite a few nymphs in my first 10 matches.

Results vs AI3 so far:

Mono-Aether AI3: 1-1
Spoiler for Hidden:

Explosion on it's dim shield, Adrenalised Charger for great damage. Lost one match due to Dim shield chain, lobo'ed chargers and no explosion!
Vulture AI3: 3-0
Spoiler for Hidden:

Early Graviton Firemasters did some good damage. Didn't have time to start a nymph spree sadly!


Some fun with a Life Nymph :D
Rainbow AI3: 1-0
Spoiler for Hidden:

He killed my adrenacharger :( Pulvy was nice here though!
Earth/Gravy AI3: 1-0
Spoiler for Hidden:

BB's  stalled  a bit and I had a slow start. The element of Fire wouldn't let itself get bound this time, wich slowed things down. Chargers took care of things though.
Scarab AI3: 1-0
Spoiler for Hidden:

This one took a bit long actually. Heals, staff and Turtle shield stalled a little. Explosion saved the day and I got to see the Forest Spectre and fireshield in action!
Steam AI3: 1-0
Spoiler for Hidden:

No quanta for an EM! Congeals were annoying, Pulvy did great smashing the fire pillars. Fun match!
Light/Air AI3: 1-0
Spoiler for Hidden:

Pulvy smashed, Pegasus hurt! 3 Chargers in starting hand made this easy.

This deck pretty much describes me. I'm an offensive player, while I like to have control of the battlefield. As a result this becomes a beatiful trio, which is deadly effective. My three favourite elements (in order) - time, life and fire. In :time trials, I showed my love for Ghost of the Past, using it in nearly all my decks. In war, I played for team :life. In that period we discovered how super amazing Heal can be. Giant Frogs - just plain awesome. Fire Storm, a very useful card. In this kind of domination deck, it fits totally. Apperently, if you look at my avatar - you'll see a time mark with Fire Storm background. As seen in my sig, I've had the :time of my :life, a super pun that shows my love for time (and life). This deck actually is very effective - try before you tell!

Spoiler for Card breakdown:
:life :fire Pendulums: Duh. Need to make quanta. Case closed.
:time Ghost of the Past: Main damage. Super duper creature. The winning condition.
:time Electrum Hourglass: Makes the winrate a tad bit higher.
:life Giant Frog: Additional damaga, great cost to damage ratio - 2,5:1
:life Improved Heal: Amazing, cheap card. 20 HP for free (almost)
:fire Fire Storm: The final perfection. A great card that clears your opponents field. A good combination with heal.
Yeah, Jappert, I 'borrowed' your format.

People tend to underestimate Pendula trios. Well, bad for you.

The cards synergieze very well with each other. Heal + Fire Storm, Giant Frog + Ghost of the Past. And it get a lot of EM's. Just saying.

Spoiler for 250 words:
When i first read this competition, i saw that big frog looking at me from the top of the forums, and it kind of hypnotized me. I already knew what deck to build: one based on frogs!
So, what was next? Hipnosis is a way of controling you, so i had to add tons of control. That's why i build a Pendulum Supernova, to get the quanta quick, since all the control cards i would use had low costs (1), and frogs only use 2, so its faster and more effective this way.
Why life mark and no entropy? Because you won't play your 6 Snovas all the games, so with that, and the pends, you'll always have quanta for the little guys (i was tempted to add mitosis here since i was afraid the dmg wouldn't be enough).
Discords are to use that extra :entropy quanta, besides the fact discord is the most amazing weapon in the game.
Frogs, main damage dealers, and unstoppables to help against dim shield ai3, although not really needed.
Then, for the control, i chose my favourite ones, because they are cheap and effective.
Rewind is very effective against the voodoo, steam and scorp Ai3.
Explosion is to take away shields when you have no momentum or annoying weapons, like the OE from the air AI3.
I love Congeal + shockwave combo, but they are lovely cc by separate too, 4 turns of delay and 4 dmg are always useful.
Thunderbolt is simply one of my favourite cc cards, great damage and really low cost makes it a perfect weapon against AI3.

When you think of Napalm one thing comes to mind... :fire
When you think of ~Napalm one thing comes to mind... Phoenix
No one will dispute that there is no one with more passion for :fire and Phoenixes than Napalm. Whether it be her vNG deck or Phoenixplosion! she does her best to show the destructive, and sometimes uncontrollable power of :fire.

Not even kevkev60614, a top-tier player, could withstand the flames of her passion. Though he put up an exceptional fight, she was always destined to be victorious. Next came War where she came out and torched the competition, and though many thought the :fire was out... she proved that just because there's no flame doesn't mean the fire is out! Before anyone knew it :fire was back with a vengeance, torching the rest of the competition and blazing their way to glory.

No she stands, just 1-2 matches from Grand Mastership, back in the hands of :fire where it should be. How long can her opponent's stand the heat of Napalm's inferno?

Spoiler for Why those cards?:
Mark of Fire - She is the Master after all
Rain of Fire - A play on words - Reigned by Fire (the winners of war)
Nymph Queen & Phoenix - She is the queen of the Phoenix and sends her lethal army out to destroy all her enemies
Chaos Power - She can be very random at times... if you don't know, come to chat lol :P
Unstoppable - Yes she is
Basilisk Blood + Gravity Pull + Ball Lightning = one of her favorite combos.

Ninja'd =[

As my tag says, and as chat regulars know, I get ninja'd a lot. I take a while to say what I want, so oftentimes when I try to answer a question or comment on something someone gets there before me. It's actually a surprise now when I ninja someone else.

So, my deck is based on that habit of being ninja'd. Whatever I do with this deck, you've probably done it first. So I'm always at least a step behind -- in other words, I get ninja'd. On a positive note, though, this deck is flexible and depends a lot on what cards your opponent draws, and even which opponent you get -- it adapts according to how lucky (or unlucky) its matchup is. This has to do with my "RNG is my worst enemy" quote in my sig -- though it can also be my best friend.

"The crimson flames shall envelop evil."
   - Ledah, Riviera Promised Land

Ledah's Execution Skill, Kokushi Rosutosefi, was the inspiration of my first username in elements, rosutosefi. rosutosefi is Japanese for Lost Leraph (rosuto -> lost, sefi -> seraph). light_sefi is my 2nd account, and my main.

rosutosefi is inactive now, and will forever be buried in the realm of deleted accounts. No more arena deckbuilding for him.

My name is light_sefi (which means seraph of light, and you should have figured that out by now). This may be the best deck to describe it.
Like what Napalm said, fire also produces light. Thus, I have combined the destructive power of fire and the unstoppable might of light.

The blazing glory of the light, ready to strike the enemy down. Ready to destroy all who oppose and pass judgment to those who deserve it. The indestructible might of the Morning Glories, coupled with the destructive power of fire. It shows no mercy to those that are wicked. It will burn all creatures and structures to dust.

Towers - For :light production. duh.
Pendulums - For additional :fire production.
Explosion - For explosiveness. A lot of them. Even an excess of them. Just for the sake of fiery explosiveness. Plus, blowing up 1 or 2 pillars will totally be... explosive!
Firestorm - Kills creatures. With all creatures burned to ashes, the enemy cannot even Hope to win. ;)
Morning Glory - Strike the enemy down, the immaterial way. So you have Deflags? Deflagration: Destr-- TL;DR.
Animate Weapon - For the flying glories. For more meanness. One morning glory is scary enough. Can you take 6? Otyugh, problem?

Spoiler for Legit:
A new player stumbles into chat one day, frantically begging for advice on making his 47-card air/darkness/time trio. The veteran players quickly come to his aid, providing links to the forums, giving him tips, and undoubtedly guiding him down the 30-card-decks-only-and-fire-is-the-best-element path.

Those veteran Elements players think they know the game inside and out. They claim to know how to build the most efficient decks, what cards are top tier in competitive play, and what elements are better than others.

Ask anyone what the worst unupgraded element is and what the most inefficient deck size is for grinding AI3. I'm willng to bet that 9/10 people will answer "Gravity" and "60". That is not a legit response. What those players believe is false. They are missing a crucial piece of the puzzle; they are too blind to see the true nature of Elements the Game as a whole.

Most Elements players ignore the Armedilgo, who dwells exclusively in 60-card decks and fights tooth and nail to bring underused cards and elements the respect that they deserve. Armedilgo's noble cause has gone unnoticed for too long. I am here to present the facts, the truth that only the most Legitimate of players can comprehend.

This is the Armedilgo. It can outrush, EM, and obtain a decent win/loss ratio just like any other deck. Can't you see the Armedilgo just seeks equality?

You have heard the truth. The question is, will you accept it?

You can kill one, mash two or heck even obliterate a hundred of them, but you'll never get 'em all! - Cockroaches will never die!

This deck works like Roaches, there will only be a few of your roaches (Gnomes) in the beginning, but if the opponent won't get rid of them, they start to multiply in an frightening speed (Mitosis). Not only will this be annoying for your opponent, but you will also soon be able to make yourself immortal (Stoneskin and Emp Bond) and able to fuel an army of tough Golems, which are quite hard to kill.

There are multiple ways to play this deck and you can also achieve victory by deckout or beating your opponent to 0 health. Depending on your hand, you can either start off with Mitosis Gnome to fuel your earth quanta and continue directly with golems. It is also possible to go directly mitosis Golems, even though you might not have enough quanta to play each turn a golem, it is still enough to have a fast victory, as your opponent won't be able to easily get rid of your mitosis'ed Golem. Yet another option is to just go for mitosis Gnomes to build up your quanta and healing power until you are pretty much immortal to deck your opponent out.

The versatility of this deck is what I like most when playing in Elements: each battle can be played differently, you won't ever feel like having played a match twice like it is often the case with very strong and balanced one-strategy-decks.

Rules

1. Your deck may consist of 30-60 cards.

2. Decks must be based on your username, signature, profile, and/or forum avatar (you can find all of these on the "Profile" button on the header). (For users who have a hard time making a deck based on their profile, see below.)

3a. The decks can use all card types; upgraded, non-upped, etc., and can have any mark. However, please make sure that the deck is realistic in that it shouldn't break any in-game mechanics (i.e. - no more than 6 copies of a card, has a minimum of 30 cards in it, etc.)

3b. The deck should preferably be usable in normal Elements play - show 3 screenshots of it beating 3 different Ai3s (I recommend using www.imageplay.net as an image uploading site.), as well as the win/loss stats for 10 Ai3 matches (e.g. 4 wins, 6 losses).

4. Please post your deck by using the following format :
Code: [Select]

Spoiler for Example Submission:
*Include additional description here*  Hi, I think this deck respresents my username because I used to play MTG and tried to win not using the basic lands - similarly, this deck doesn't use any "lands" pillars and instead uses other generating cards like Nova and Immolation to win. *Include additional description here*

Higurashi, Duskbringer

Have you ever seen it? The complete void?
They say that when you stare into the abyss, it stares back at you. When that happens, you lose all remaining traces of your sanity forever.
What most don't know is why. They don't know what's hidden in there, but their mind knows. Deep in your mind, it will know when you stand before it.

Come to me when you have realised what's there.

Pestal plus Silence equals complete and utter void. No sound, no animation, no life. Not yet.
But if you wish to control life, you must constantly suppress it. This deck embodies my username quite well because it was born out of a concept that found endless potential in nothingness. If you are one with the Aether, you will have traversed dimensions where absolutely nothing exists. Not even vacuum. The human mind cannot grasp this concept at all, just as it cannot grasp an infinite universe or even the concept of its own death.

Aether is the beginning of the universe; the beginning of creation. Without it, there would be nothing. But it is also the element of void dimensions and unspeakable dimensional horrors.
Darkness is the absence of Light and may seek to remove anything else as well. Combine these two elements and you will have the ultimate combination to rob your opponent of everything.

Regardless of these two elements, a blank slate means the potential for anything. There is always something refreshing about starting anew, whether it be a bigger project, a painting or a relation to another being. Why do you think this is so cathartic to the human mind?

The deck can be completely unbeatable by a non-Nova/Immo/QP deck with a good draw, and even more so when you add two Vamps and remove two Silences (though you will need even better draws). However, Vamps do not fit into the deck theme. On that note, Steal implies a too active role for the deck as well, so I cannot use it.
It has Aether pends because you want to start the Silence chain ASAP.






W/L: 10-0
:aether  http://elementscommunity.org/forum/guilds/991-thunderbolts-ho!-991/ :aether
Aether is the prime Element present in all things, providing space, connection and balance for all Elements to exist.
Aether represents the sense of joy and union, and the ultimate potential of all things.

A deck based on my username

As few may know, my name is actually a variation of "I'm a noob", and when a player first starts, one of the main things they are thinking about is those high-attack creatures, such as dragons. This deck has absolutely no monsters. For someone first playing this deck, they may think the user is a 'noob', having no creatures, and seemingly no CC. To a new player, this deck seems like another easy win in PvP. However, their confidence is what will ruin them, as their large creatures get Animattered and then Liquid Shadowed, turning their creature into something that will heal me and hurt them until it is killed. They have fallen to the deception of nubility, something that happens in most games when persons are faced with others who they think can be taken down easily because of "noobiness".
Also, Entropy: chaos, lack of order. Darkness: The absence of light. When first using this deck, it may seem like the one using it is just playing chaotically, trying to confuse you. But they are actually keeping you in the 'dark', deceiving you until the opportune moment.

To be an overachiever, this deck could also be based on my forum picture/text under picture

The Shard of Readiness, or SoR, has the ability of making a creature's ability cost 0 quanta. The deck I am using never needs to use quanta for abilities.

To be even more of an overachiever, this deck is also based off of part of my signature: "How I wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of goodwill -- Albert Einstein"

In this deck, the user doesn't need to use creatures to attack the opponent, they use manipulation to make the opponent get attacked by his/her own creatures. This is a wise thing to do because, unlike most places, the user needs not sacrifice any creatures, thus not losing quanta on meaningless prospects. It is of goodwill because, face it, there are few 'casualities' in each battle, lessening the emotional strain on both players. And no one wants emotional card players!

Pegasus. A mystically divine flying horse. What could be more magnificent than that? Bestow it with the flaming power of Fire, that's how! It was said long ago, the Right Hand of Zanz ScaredGirl chose 12 brave warriors and granted them with the power of 12 different Elements. They were the original Masters of the Elements. One Master, a particularly handsome one, reigned gracefully and peacefully as the Master of Fire. Although his reign was short, it was most definitely sweet.

Shortly after he passed down his title to another, he left in search of great wisdom. His journey was a long and treacherous one  but he did not weave from his path, motivation and determination burning fiercely in him. Though it took him time to find the wisdom he sought, he did indeed find it. When his fire was nearly extinguished, he fell to his knees. There was a large gust of wind and as he looked up, a large blindingly white horse stood before him. Magnificent wings rose from its back like heavenly mountains. Legend has it it was the legendary winged horse Pegasus. Pegasus spoke down to the wandering ex-Fire Master in a voice not unlike Morgan Freeman, "One day in the future, you shall take my young clones and set them ablaze with your power. You have my Blessing."

As he took Pegasus' Blessings, a new fire began in the ex-master that day. Making the long trek back to the land of the elementals, he thought eagerly about when that day would befall him. When he returned, he quickly ran to his home. Catching the gaze of his own reflection, this mimicking avatar that was him, he knew. He knew the day when the Flaming Pegasi would be upon him.

I went one better, with an EM deck.

I am Xenocidius. Darkness, aside from being my favourite element, contains all the cards necessary to perfectly represent my forum profile.

It begins with my name. 'Xeno' has been my alias for many years now, and the 'cidius' suffix merely came along because the name 'Xeno' was taken for so many online account systems. 'Xeno' is a prefix for 'stranger', as in 'xenophobia', fear of strangers. The stranger here is the thief in the art of the Steal card. He wears his cloak to hide himself from the rest of the world, so that he is always a stranger to everyone. The Steal card is used to use the enemy's strength against them, and is quite useful against the Elders.

My personal text is simple: 'Fear the darkness ...'. Fear in Elements is perhaps best represented by the card Nightmare. In the deck it serves as a utility card to deny the opponent's draw and provide damage and healing, helping with Elemental Mastery.

My signature is ':darkness Light provides knowledge, while darkness cuts it off from you. Fear it. :darkness'. The darkness cuts off knowledge theme is represented best in one particular card: Cloak. It limits the opponent's knowledge of what's happening on your side of the field. In the deck it serves as a utility card to help you set up unhindered, or to prevent the opponent from interfering when you are close to finishing them off.

And finally, my avatar. My avatar is a blend of Mark of Darkness and Siphon Life. In this deck, the mark is darkness, and Siphon Life is used. Siphon Life is a very useful card in the deck, providing creature control, damage, and helping with Elemental Mastery.
Name: 'Xeno' means 'stranger'. Here the stranger is represented by the thief in the art of Steal.
Personal Text: 'Fear the darkness'. The fear is represented by Nightmare.
Signature: 'Light provides knowledge, while darkness cuts it off from you'. Cloak cuts off knowledge from your opponent.
Avatar: Mark of Darkness and Siphon Life, both in the deck.

Win/loss: 10/0





4 towers can be replaced by pendulums, but I felt all towers was cleaner, for the purposes of this competition.

My favourite colour is blue -- what better way to showcase it than a nifty :aether :air :water trio?

Pikachu is my favourite Pokémon, and the Electric-type is best represented by the element of Aether. As an element which excels at manipulating electricity (with cards like Ball Lightning and Thunderbolt), Aether is the perfect fit for Pikachu. Although rarely found, some Pikachu are also able to control the powers of water (Surfing Pikachu) and air (Flying Pikachu). To represent these abilities, the deck is primarily :aether with splashes of :water and :air.

The character featured on my current avatar is Jace Beleren, a planeswalker from Magic: the Gathering. Jace wields blue magic and specializes in mental magic. In MtG, blue is known for its utility creatures, game-changing spells, and sneaky tricks (such as copying creatures, countering spells, creature bounce, and creatures with evasive abilities). :aether :air :water embody these three characteristics in their own different ways. Mind Flayer references Jace's skill with manipulating the mind with its ability to lobotomize enemy creatures, Wings and Damselflies represent the arsenal of flying creatures at a blue mage's disposal, and Aether cards like Twin Universe mirror the MtG ability of copying creatures that is present on blue cards like Clone.

As for the deck, each card synergizes beautifully with the other cards. This perfect overlapping synergy is reminiscent of my favourite element (Aether) and its ability to work well with each of the other 11 elements. Damselflies generate :air quanta for Wings and fuelling the Web and Inflate abilities, Phase Recluse's Web shoots down airborne creatures for Wings to block, and Lightning and Mind Flayer (also Toadfish's Inflate to a certain extent) neutralize creature threats.

Jappert, Binder of Elements

Explanation:
Earth and Gravity have always been my favorite Elements. After all it's those two elements that bind all others to this planet, yes even Air! :(
This deck brings the 4 elements featured in my avatar combined with gravity in an awesome and unpredictable quintet. They are all represented equally apart from the Gravity element binding them all.
My philosophy in Elements is to make every match different then the previous or next ones,  that's why this deck has so much diversity.
Last but not least: this deck is fun! Seriously, try it.

Card breakdown: 2 Officers, 4 Elite Soldiers and 4 Warriors
 
 :gravity Graviton Firemasters: a little synergy with fire, their HP saves them vs alot of the AI3 cc and they pack a punch when grown. You could call them the lieutenants of this deck.
 :gravity Chargers: the raw power of Gravity, they cannot be stopped. They're the elite soldiers of this deck
 :earth Steel Golem: my favorite! Cheap with massive defense. Earth's warrior.
 :earth Pulverizer: usefull in many cases, great synergy with Gravity.
 :earth Warden: a little defense is needed aswell, cheap card, capable of stalling alot.
 :life Forest Spectre: great synergy with water, another growing creature is nice in longer matches. Life's warrior
 :life Epinephrine: Awesome when used on a charger and great card overall.
 :life Heal: got me one EM at least, good and cheap card.
 :fire Fire Buckler: Needed a shield and this one does it's job!
 :fire Explosion: Some CC is crucial vs AI3. In addition to the pulvy, explosion is there to get rid of those shields!
 :fire Minor Phoenix: Rebirth is great vs the pack of CC AI3 has, small but resilient! Fire's warrior in this deck.
 :water Abyss Crawler: Good offense, good defense, good card! Water sends his warrior aswell.
 :water Congeal: Very cheap and reliable CC, this card represents water more then anything.
 :water Nymphs Tears: I wanted a fun deck with alot of diversity. This card is great at that. Allthough it's expensive, I've seen quite a few nymphs in my first 10 matches.

Results vs AI3 so far:

Mono-Aether AI3: 1-1

Explosion on it's dim shield, Adrenalised Charger for great damage. Lost one match due to Dim shield chain, lobo'ed chargers and no explosion!Vulture AI3: 3-0

Early Graviton Firemasters did some good damage. Didn't have time to start a nymph spree sadly!


Some fun with a Life Nymph :DRainbow AI3: 1-0

He killed my adrenacharger :( Pulvy was nice here though!Earth/Gravy AI3: 1-0

BB's  stalled  a bit and I had a slow start. The element of Fire wouldn't let itself get bound this time, wich slowed things down. Chargers took care of things though.Scarab AI3: 1-0

This one took a bit long actually. Heals, staff and Turtle shield stalled a little. Explosion saved the day and I got to see the Forest Spectre and fireshield in action!Steam AI3: 1-0

No quanta for an EM! Congeals were annoying, Pulvy did great smashing the fire pillars. Fun match!Light/Air AI3: 1-0

Pulvy smashed, Pegasus hurt! 3 Chargers in starting hand made this easy.

Uuuuh...
You're more likely to kill a cabbage using your right sock.
It wins, thought. But using this is hell. And not your ordinary kind of hell. It's a compulsively disordered hell.
Only a mostly braindead rabbit with personality problems could've hatched this.
It's a newb's deck, but with 40 upped cards.


Yes, it is all water's array of cards in a single deck. With more derpicolous fail.
