Newbie needs advice ;)

Hey guys, new to Elements.

Since the mentor program is a little stalled, I thought I'd ask some advice on my deck and where I should go from here.

I'm currently using Unupped Monodark by regen2k9, which is awesome.  I'm about to hit 1500 for my first upgrade.  I was thinking of upping the stiletto first, then trying to move towards the upped monodark deck by xenocidus.  Is this the best move?  currently farming AI3 easily, bronze with maybe 50-60% wins, and PVP with a very decent average.

thanks for the advice!

Normally most people go for FG farmers like instosis, flay em, and rol/hope. You can surely go down the mono dark path, but it's going to take you a while because FG farming is way more profitable.

Thanks for the help.  Grinding out AI3 for instosis seemed...rough.  Is there a middle step?  Otherwise, I'll just have to bite the bullet and just keep farming lol

The upped mono-dark is very good for bronze... but you'll want electrum more than rares for now. You could always try the liquid-antimatter superskip method on FGs, but that kills your score and requires perseverance through the extremely low win rate and reliance on getting upped cards from the spins. I believe that it would still be faster than AI-3 grinding, though.
Mono-darkness is still feasible, and allows for slow but steady growth.

AI3 doesn't give you some key cards needed for instosis (shards) and instosis is quite costly. You could farm bronze for shards, but bronze is very unprofitable from the side of the coin. If you farm AI3, I advise you get a fast AI3 farmer like mono death, grabboid rush, or something like that. Middle step? You could get an okay FG farmer like flay em or rol/hope.
