I often find some ridicolous deck in top 50, like all unupgraded cards in a bad built deck.
I find mono fire and mono aether decks that seem beginners ones: why?
I thought top50 was only again the "all time" top50 players, isnt it? Maybe small chance of facing the dayly top50ers? Or just sistem errors?

Yeah, Ive noticed this too.  And it's not hacked accounts because they have low scores.  Maybe you're right.  Zans might've changed the t50 from the all-time, monthly, or weekly t50 to daily ones.  This makes farming for weapons a little more difficult, but it does break up the monotony of FG decks.

As far as I know it's always been the weekly top50 you fight. At least the text next to the 'Top 50' button says 'weekly'. I don't recall this being different.

Besides that I think you are right - this might get better by the end of the week when the weekly top 50 resemble the all-time top50 a little more.

I think it is hacks to a certain degree.  I've seen this same deck, Levgre with only one 'E' at the end, stuck at negative -375 points.  In what way would that deck belong in the top 50?

I was playing around 2am Sunday morning, and noticed that the top 50 had a lot of lower score decks. I submitted my score to see the rankings, and found myself in Rank 3. I'm guessing this means that the top 50 resets every Sunday, since it's the beginning of a new week. I promptly put up a rare farm and then logged off, lol. I figured I'd be nice since I was there for a little while. >.<"

I noticed the same thing, so I made a rare farm and submitted. Hopefully someone wins something good!

Lol, I saw the same thing and did the same thing around the same time.  And this was after a couple hours of farming top-50 with no success.  I guess one of us should have stayed on a bit longer if we knew what was good for us.

I didn't catch a single rare-farm yesterday :(

I did fight Jellyfish's deck, a rare-weapon deck but it was stacked with common cards like flying weapons and sundials also (might have been something else than sundial) so I didn't win anything off the spinners...

It was Supernovas. I didn't have enough good rares that people wanted, and I didn't want to stack it with pillars, so I added some Flying Weapons and made it slightly harder to beat...though not buy much. I'm surprised, though...I think it had like, 5 Miracles or something, lol. XD

I was hoping to come up against it again, but never did..

I probably spent as much time yesterday just toying with a few different deck types as I did actually fighting. I was kind of bored with just grinding.

By the time Monday rolls around, the decks are back in action.  Farm away!

Let me get this straight. The current decks of the weekly Top 50 players are put up, regardless of the quality of the decks. Is that right? And so people are exploiting this quirk (bug? oversight?) by giving others the opportunity to farm rare cards without a fight. And they are proud of themselves for helping fellow players.  :o

Wouldn't it be easy enough to have a qualification process for a deck, not a player?
