Here I put all cards which have something to do with the number 1. I know this is a bad deck, but I am that type of someone who plays CCG just for fun. :sillyspin:
Now, this one has something to do with the number 2, including doubling and halving.
I wonder why
which is 1|1|1 and 
which is 2|2|2 can have skill while 
which is 3|3|3 is just a regular vanilla. Heck, even 
which has the exact same stats also manages to have a skill. This makes me doubting :water as the most balanced element anymore. :'(
Another offender of Blue Crawler:
On a side note, it's fun seeing my beloved Arctic Octopus can fight with the help from Shard of Wisdom. I have wise octopi! It's like I am controlling Chtulhu himself! :sillyspin:
Blue Crawler got a new companion:
Ugh... This is the hardest deck to build compared than the previous Kanji learning decks.
My first time to use Chimera, Shard of Integrity, and Shard of Sacrifice. Interesting to see what skill will the Shard Golem have.
Because there is not any card which have something to do with the number 8, I focused on Shard of Light and Death which have something to do with the multiple of 8 (24 for Light, 48 for Death).
There is no card which have something to do with the number 9 at all. So. with a stretch I put all cards which have 9 costs to cast.
Basically Bolts.
For the Kanji 百 (hundred), I made a Miracle focused deck since our default max HP is 100. Yes I know, Miracle heal to max HP minus 1, but we can simply heal that 1 HP with Sanctuary. Here we go:
OK, didn't know what to do with the Kanji 千 (thousand) so I made a deck based on increasing maximum HP since I kept encountering the jargon 500 EM everywhere, and 500 is a half of thousand.
Sun-based deck:
Moon-based deck:
It's more usable than the Sun one.
It's more usable than the Sun one.
The next 5 Kanjis are the basic Chinese element, so they would be easier to build.
Now even though it is the turn of 水 (water) Kanji, I don't put my signature deck (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/water-32/deep-savers/msg1201125/#msg1201125) because it contains ice and drying spell where in this deck I want to focus on water only.
Yeah, I know Arctic Squid does freeze the enemy creature, but squids are water animals so I also put them here.

Some of you might think that the Catapults are out of place in this deck. However, they are made from wood and ready to launch the grown-up Forest Spirit to the opponent.
For this deck I use cards related with gold or golden. I very seldom play beatdown so Gravity Shield locked me off when playing with this deck.
Using :earth element but which actually have something to do with soil rather than metal.
For the Kanji 上 (up), I use cards which have the effect of increasing stats without decreasing the other stats because this Kanji is used in the word 上げる which means "raise".
For the Kanji 下 (down), I use cards which have the effect of decreasing stats without increasing the other stats because this Kanji is used in the word 下る which means "go down".
For the Kanji 右 (right), I use cards which have the effect of modifying creatures' HP without changing their ATK because the creatures' stats on their right side is their HP.
For the Kanji 左 (left), I use cards which have the effect of modifying creatures' ATK without changing their HP because the creatures' stats on their left side is their ATK.
The Kanji 大 means "big", which in the world of Elements means having a lot of HP (Otyugh's card text says that smaller creatures = less HP). And because the Gravity Shield which basically says that big creatures can't attack only blocks creatures with more than 5 HP, I assume that those are what count as "big" in the world of Elements. So, in this deck I only put creatures which have more than 5 HP.
The Kanji 中 means "middle", so I make a deck which is based on intermediate HP creatures with Gravity Shield as my reference. Being said, in this deck I only put creatures which have more 5 HP. For Phoenix and Fallen Elf, it's because both Ash and Abomination have exactly 5 HP.
The Kanji 小 means "small", which in the world of Elements means having a lot of HP (Otyugh's card text says that smaller creatures = less HP). And because the Gravity Shield which basically says that big creatures can't attack only blocks creatures with more than 5 HP, I assume that those are what count as "big" in the world of Elements. So, in this deck I only put creatures which have less than 5 HP.
For the Kanji 入 I make a deck with the theme of putting creatures back to the deck because 入れる means "put in".
For the Kanji 出 I make a deck with the theme of forcing opponents' card out of the deck because 出 means "put out".
Because the Kanji 男 means "man", I make a deck with only male creatures.
Because the Kanji 女 means "woman", I make a deck with only female creatures. It is easier than the 男 due to all those Nymphs, not to mention Firefly Queen.
For the Kanji 子 (child), I use Mitosis which explicitly says "daughter" and Firefly Queens which... breed.
Because the Kanji 人 means "human", I only put humanoid creatures (or spells/permanents which generate humanoid creatures/have humanoid creatures in their artwork) in this deck.
Because the Kanji 口 means "mouth" and Otyugh has big mouth as well as its ability to eat smaller creatures, I make an Otyugh based deck. This deck didn't do well until I decided to put Shard of Patience.
Make an eye-themed deck because the Kanji 目 means "eye". It consists of Precognition, Owl's Eye, and Nymph's Tears. Never won.
Because the Kanji 手 means "hand", I make a deck whose cards have effects that have something to do with adding cards to the hand.
It was fun, especially when I can pull of random combo from the chain of Shard of Bravery and Serendipity.

Because the Kanji 耳 means "ear", I make a deck whose cards have to do with voice.
Freeze and Arctic Squid are there only to give more significance to Shockwave.

Because the Kanji 足 means "foot", I make a deck whose cards have to do with walking, thus Momentum, Acceleration and Adrenaline (yes, I know the last one is a stretch). Emphatic Bond is here because its artwork is an animal footprint.

Just kidding, this deck isn't ice-themed. It's just that my Kanji Learning Decks (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/deck-compilations/kanji-learning-decks/) has reached the Kanji 白 (haku) which means "white" and coincidentally my Oracle Card was Light Pillar, so I make a full-white deck, using cards from the white element ( :light) but only whose artworks are white.

Ugh... Finally get to abstract concepts, and it was troublesome. The Kanji 学 means "learn", so I put some Shards whose theme are something learnt, like Serendipity, Focus, and Wisdom.
The next Kanji was 校 which means "school", so I put all cards about things usually taught at school.
This one is also hard. Since the Kanji 先 means "ahead", I put cards which give privilege ahead normal circumstances (extra draw, additional cards, and extra attacks).
Since the Kanji 先 means "born", I choose cards with breeding thematic, such as Firefly Queen, Mitosis, and Fate Egg. Pharaoh isn't there because logically, the Scarabs didn't come from the Pharaoh itself, but rather are attracted by his corpse.

Yeah Blue Crawler is a bit sad. That and life's creatures are amazing.

Well, I can understand for :life creatures. They are about swarming, so their creatures are supposedly cheaper.

No but it doesn't let you post it if it's too long, and tells you it's over 65535 characters
