Err... regen2k9's mono-dark is unupped, so I'm not quite sure what you're asking here. It would probably work better upped, true, but the 84% stat is for unupped. (The meta has changed and always will change, though, so be careful with trusting those statistics)

Ah right, it's just that they were improved on the link you sent me. Improved steal, those kind of things. Thanks again though.

Bronze League is definitely the way to go. One thing I would do is to note what decks I face after a few rounds- getting a good sense of the meta is crucial when trying out what farmer to use. I'm assuming that your card pool is rather limited now, but the best I can offer you is to take one of the unupped bronze grinders here. (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,30564.0.html)
Regen2k's mono-dark would be my recommendation.

Cool, thanks.
But does the deck definatly have to be upped to work? Would the unupped version work well too?

I'd thank Olevar too, but that just seems a future plan. The problem here is I need 2 lobo's to finish my FG farming deck, I can't really move on to anything big when I haven't got the elec to do it with. Kinda getting tired of the snail pace of AI3 and want to get that ROL/hope deck out ASAP, but to do that I have to win the lobo's from arena. I'm really looking for an unupped deck though, I don't think I could stand another 300 AI3 matches to afford more upped cards.

Like many other people, I too am having problems getting hold of some Lobo's for the ROL deck.

I'm now out to get the last 1500 elec to upgrade the last photon, but afterwards I would be looking out for two more Lobo's. I picked one as my quest reward, and after allmost 300 games against AI3 I haven't picked up a second. After doing searches, the only other option would be "T50", but wasn't that replaced with arena? So is my only other option arena now? 6 games in a row for bronze seems difficult (I've only ever gotten 4 in a row with my mono aether deck) and silver sounds even more difficult for just one less game before an oportunity at a rare.

Any tips one can offer me?

It's not optimal, as AI has quite a bit of CC nowadays. Even just 6 Dragons, Ghosts and a weapon would be better. Throw in an Hourglass/RT (if you don't have Eternity) if you want, but you'll need tons of quanta.

So I guess you could say, that I might as well just reset my deck? Considering my circimstances and that I can't find a time deck that is actually good to use for AI3 grinding, it would maybe be faster to restart with the dark deck than it would to make enough elec to build it from scratch and then start grinding after that.

Anyone feel like testing the time deck? When I found the forums (and this post) I duplicated the time deck as that was the mark I blindly chose when starting. I spent everything I had on that deck and I can't say I've won even 50% of my AI3 matches, with only 2 or 3 of the AI3 decks being beatable.

It could be that I'm just playing it wrong though, so maybe if anyone wants to leave some sort of guide to it I could see if what I've been doing is wrong.
