If I want to build a deck with 4-6 Arsenic, I have to grind to 150 score to get 1. Then just get incredibly lucky 3-5 times. Seems very stupid to me, luck should not be a huge part of a skill-based game.

First of all, 500 score, not 150.
Second of all, with a good bronze grinder, it's easy to get any rare you need within decent speed.
Third of all, no good deck ever uses 4-6 arsenics, except possibly deathstalls, which are rather rare and unheard of.
Flying weapon arsenics just pales in comparison to a monodeath, and monodeath rushes only use 2-3.
To get to 500 score easily, grind AI3 with a decent AI3 grinder. You can find some examples here. I personally recommend the nymph tears rush.

To get rares easily, grind bronze arena. I recommend a modified nymph tears rush or a monodarkness to do this.

inb4 the veteran goes: I have 20 of every rare! Rares are easy once you get a good bronze farmer. Cough mono dark cough. Arena was made for rares, AI3 was not.

Okay so arena grinding? I never see decks with the right weapons in them... am I just unlucky? Or are arsenic decks just rare?

if you beat 5 decks in a row (in bronze, less in other arenas) you get a special spin, with only rares and the chance to respin some of the slots.

I just spinned that and guess what? None of the weapons I needed, only stuff the deck I just faced used.

On your fifth CONSECUTIVE win, after you spin the reels three times, wait and it'll do this animation and switch to the rare spin.

Then keep trying.
Just like your mythic rare sorins and sharkans, they're not going to be given to you like candy.

Ok ok ok. I know about the special spins. I know about the community recommend decks for grinding bronze. So no more advice okay? I'm still stuck trying to find my weapons.
