Team δ will choose Purple Dragon and Liquid Shadow.
Seriously a denial pick when everyone else on my team is asleep?

Having to wait 15-20 picks between turns is really too many.
it's still the same 9 posts/teams, just that it each team has to spend longer on making double picks
I mean that this pick 15 cards will have disappeared since we were last able to pick, and it's going to be 20 cards until we can pick again.

Believe it or not, it's actually restrictions that encourage creativity. When you allow people to do whatever they want, they'll usually just do the same things over and over.

How to build successful decks for the arena (and in general):

First, have a look at what kind of card it is. These can generally be divided into the following categories:

-Expensive creatures
-Cheap creatures
-Creature control
-Permanent control
-Weapons
-Shields
-Pillars/Pends

Then look at the element of the card. Different elements are good at different things, so this has to be taken into account when deckbuilding.

Using these 2 things, decide what kind of deck you're going to build (ie how will your deck win). There are a decent number of ways to do this:

Rush (Just kill them quickly)
Control (Tries to keep control of the board via CC and PC)
MidRange (a combination of the above)
Stall (Seeks to deck the opponent)

Different oracle cards will obviously lend themselves to different types of decks. Stone Skin is obviously not a card that works in rushes and cremation isn't a card for stalling.

It's important to note that not all decks will be successful, but don't allow this to discourage you. Keep a catalog of the decks you've used and try to figure out what works and what doesn't.

More to come so stay tuned...

I think people are forgetting about the people who don't play this for hours and hours each day, or haven't played for a VERY long time. I have CCYB 1.27 with all upgraded cards and thats about it for upgraded cards. I don't have stacks of electrum to go and by cards and upgrade them, just to be thrown into an arena deck for 3 days.

Making rules cutting out the cards that new people use to farm is just gonna make their decks get pushed down the list.
If i had money, then i would make crazier decks to test out. I play trainer just because i like making decks i can't afford here. I got a photon in the oracle so i just threw up my T50 farming deck (fire rush) and that saves me from spending alot more money to build a deck then i win from letting it sit in the arena
So use unupped cards. With double draw and the like, you should be able to build very competitive decks without upped cards.

Beaten to the punch by TC. I'll be working on a more elaborate post that you can add to the OP.

On the creativity bit, I have one of the highest if not the highest record for electrum earned, and it was done using a deck that exists nowhere on the forums. You don't have to sacrifice performance to be creative.
