[/deck][/deck]This is my deck. It has won 31 times and lost 17 times. How can I modify it to win in arena level 4? The strategy is to use  black dragons to deal lots of damage. To heal minor amounts of damage with the minor vampires. To get quanta I use obsidian pillars and devourers. And for more damage and tanking I use gargoyles.

You don't need devourers.
Dagger. No. You need a vampire dagger.
One moar nightfall.

You can just make (some steals and) Black dragon + Cloak, if you want to.

So, on optomizing your deck: Keep it simple. Go for one strategy, stick with it, and tweak the numbers. Look at every card in your deck, and ask yourself 'Why is that there? Does it fit my strategy? Is there a better card that I could put in that slot?'

I highly recommend reading SG's 9 tips for better deckbuilding.


Another useful tip is in looking at your Quanta Index with UTAlan's QI calculator.

Your deck seems to be alright quanta-wise, though it could be better. In terms of strategy, it is solid in composition, though lacking in real strategy and design. Your deck balances its quanta and card usage well, but spams creatures with little regard to speed or control. What victory condition do you plan on having for this deck? Beating at your opponent with creatures is only a good idea if you can do it faster than your opponent.


On your choice of opponent:
By Arena level 4... you mean platinum league? I would stay away from that for now. It was designed to give players with fully upped card pools a difficult challenge. Attempting it with a completely unupped deck, no matter how good it is, is not advisable.

with upgraded deck? But it's not worth grinding. Believe me, i grind arena gold and got more  than farming AI4. I got a single upgraded card from AI4 and that was like after near 20 wins. And playing with AI4 's noob style risk myself becoming as noob as them.

If you don't have vampire stelleto, then just put it out. You can always steal the weapon.

Mono darkness is a good AI3, bronze and PVP1 grinder, with an easy build: 6 devourers (no less, a single early devourer can be lethal), some dragons, a couple of Steals and balance the quanta with the QI calculator. 30 cards. Easy and cheap.
