Entropy Decks

[Dragoon]

Since this section wasn't getting much love, I thought I'd try to go through each element and create the best decks I could.  First up is Entropy.

If you picked Entropy when you started, you can use this basic aggro-deck for grinding AI3 (steps 5-7 in ScaredGirl's Newbie Guide).  You might need to tweek the ratio of pillars and creatures.

Here's the best mono-deck I could come up with.

Hold off on the Dissipation Shield until the end game.  It's there just to help you survive a couple more turns while you pound them to death.  Unfortunately, this deck is seriously lacking in permanent control.  Overall, it's not a very good deck.

Entropy/Darkness
I realize this is the mono section but I didn't think this duo-deck warranted a whole separate thread since it's related and Entropy-focused.

This has a lot better balance of permanent and creature control with some decent hitting creatures.  Devourers work much better than Dark Towers because of the drain on your opponent's quantum.

Feel free to give some suggestions or other dual colored decks that's Entropy focused.

Well, the entropy-darkness deck would work much better as a mono-dark. Replace all creatures with vampires and dragons, get an eclipse if you like and you got it.
With unupgraded cards mono entropy will have troubles against ai3, even if with just some dragons and maxwell demons you can get a high winning %, but darkness and fire seems the best to get a fast start as a newbie because of their all-roundness

Yeah, fire and darkness are probably the best mono decks.  But I'm just trying to create the best mono decks possible with each element.

It seems as though you did say that.  <Lobotomizes self>

Hey that looks like fun.  <Lobotomizes TheArchduke>

I think you would do better with maxwell's or chaos seeds or mutations, something in the deck for another six non-pillar cards.  18 pillars in a 30 card deck is too much, even with such high cost creatures.

The idea here is speed.  To be able to play a dragon by turn 3, you need to have 4 pillars on turn one.  18 pillars in the deck will give you 4 pillars in your opening hand on average.  For a long game, it definitely is too many pillars, but for AI3 it means you can play dragons every other turn or an abomination every turn which makes for fast games.  In your first 4 turns (assuming you go first, 3 if you go second), you should have 2 dragons and 2 abominations.   At least, that's my reasoning for higher pillar count.  But like I said, you should tweak the ratio of pillars to creatures if you need to.

This DOES look like fun! *Lobotomizes TheArchduke and then shoots him with my LoLbOw*

I'm really interested in testing that deck out , but with unupgraded cards is it gonna work ?
Also ... How do you generate Dark quantum ? :S

I'm not sure how well it would work unupped since I've not tested it, but I'd guess it would work well enough.  I don't think it's the best dual deck you can have but it should work okay.  You get your initial Darkness quanta through your Mark.  Then you play your Pests who suck quanta from your opponent and converts it to Darkness quanta for yourself.  You'll probably want to play around with the ratio of cards.  Like I said, I didn't thoroughly vet this deck.  Another entropy/darkness deck you might want to consider is over here: http://elementstheforum.smfforfree3.com/index.php/topic,629.0.html

(Btw I'm using the unupgraded mono-entropy and Never had problems with AI3 or even some pvp matches , so should I upgrade it or do the dual entropy/darkness one ? I'm starting to get a bit bored by the simplicity of the mono-entropy XD )

u need a supernova at least or 2 nova to play pest

You missed the fact that the last deck has a Mark of Darkness.
