The Arena / Re: How do you rate decks that beat you ?

« on: November 21, 2011, 10:55:30 pm »

Rate down:
Unoriginal rainbows which don't really use the oracle card
Decks which completely ignore the oracle card
Typical mono-fire or -aether
Other common decks like GotP-nightmare and speed poison

Rate up:
Anything I haven't seen before
Decks which use the oracle card creatively

Except when I'm playing gold league. Then I rate down everything except my own deck.

Wh? Gold league people needs those thumbs ups!

The Arena / Re: How much electrum does your arena deck gain per win, based on rank?

I get 5 in gold. Anyways i once won in platinum and i think i got over 900€. Does anyone knows how can that be possible?

You must have won against a highly ranked dec. The higher rank the deck you're facing is, the more  you gain.

FG Proposals / Re: Abyss

I was thinking about using SoV, and I realized that it would make for an interesting FG.
Many FG decks use shields, healing, and CC. With SoV, this FG is creatureless. Healing is pointless. Shields don't defend against both vamp and drain life.
So, I'm actually curious what people would play against this.
I've tried of few of the anti-FG decks, but many get shut down with steals or are too slow or get their creatures killed by drain life.
Anyways, I'd like to see a what kind of deck would have a good winning chance against this.

Epic idea. Now, Mirror Shield/Jade Shield for Siphons, Deflags for SoV, Vamp Dagger, Dusk. Enchant Artifact for Mirror/Jade Shield, grabby/phoenix-unupped/either archangel or giant frog for killer rush. Theoretically, this would take Abyss down. I will test it in Beta trainer.

If you have a reflective shield he will target your creatures, and twelve can take out a lot of creatures. To successfully get rid of all his SoVs, Daggers, and Dusk  you need fourteen defrags.

I think you can't win it from the ai3, you can get one at least from.

- Completing last quest, gives a weapon.
- grinding arena (bronze, or silver) since it can appears on those decks and in the special spin
- ai4 (half-gods) gets random cards from two elements, so any group with Time (chronos) can have the weapon, thus defeating them could give you the weapon (but the actual chance to win a spin is rather low since there are also upgraded cards)

And I suppose from pvp you can win those to, tought my best bet would be to farm bronze if you see you can win in there.

You can win them from ai3, but only from the time ones.

You can't get shards from HB, and there is a very low chance to get them from FGs, so arena is the best option.

It has happened to others. It happens when your computer can't find another person.

delightful

Xeno and I tried to do something about this yesterday, but we just kept running into non-fire decks.

Good job, you just managed to change platinum leader.

0h wait.. :p

You can't call these people jerks tho. They are just doing what they are allowed to do and what sounds logical. You cant accuse people of jerkness only because the rankings are all fire and bad taste to you. Its the same & natural in every game. I see this fire domination issue hard to fix without limiting game play too much, which generally sucks.

Note I said OR jerks. It's still a somewhat baseless assumption, but because there are so many fewer fire decks than last I checked, and the heaviest concentration is in a small top-level bracket,  I feel it's likely that most of those people are EITHER:

jerks, who make firestalls with the knowledge that it will annoy peopleoptimizers, who can't stand to put up anything less than the best possible deck (which is typically fire)fire fans, who aren't mean but just love fire

DrunkDestroyer's sentiment matches up exactly with what I think is causing there to be fewer fire decks, even if they're dominating the top levels. DD, you might find good, fun non-fire ideas in the "good lasting arena decks" topic (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=28523.0).

You're forgetting one kind of people: the kind that has never looked on the forums, so they have no idea how much people hate fire.

I don't want a nerf either. We just have to admit that some cards in the arena environment are more efficient than in the classical PvP one. Those cards (IMO: SoG, immolation and SN) remain without a good counter (in the player side of the arena environment BH happen to be too slow to be really efficient without nymph).

SoG gets some counters.

IMHO, the quanta-providers are so powerful for one reason :
They instantly give you quantum.
So the only one quantum counter - BH - is pretty useless, since it can affect quantum only at your turn.

You take quantum spells and some good - and cheap - cards and you can make a good deck.

A nerf could be to delay the quantum given, so that you can use it the turn you play your spell - at the end of your turn for exemple.

For quanta control, there's also pest and discord, but yes, Cremation could use a nerf. Watching the opponent play a lava destroyer and two minor pheonixes on turn one is not fun.
