Gold League Decks / Re: What deck did you submit today? ( Gold )
« on: December 15, 2011, 01:56:15 am »


3x mark, 2x draw, 130HP

Eh, just got back to the game after a year away :P

Anyways, I realize that this is not very creative/strong but most of my upgrades are in rainbows and I wanted a shrieker rush with reverse time as creature control. I had two aurbourn nymphs initially but testing it out it seems that getting enough pillars fast enough was the main problem, so I took out the nymphs...

Obviously Yaladilae's Butterfly Angel 8)
added to the poll.. :)

added 36 card deck + commentary to the top post.. also, as a point of curiosity added a poll about which version of the deck people use (added them in chronological order).

BTW, what are the current stats (and card set) for the best version? I guess I better put it into the top post...
My current favorite deck is the one I posted here. (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,2156.msg35534#msg35534)  Although I may split it out into a brand new deck post rather than a variation of your deck since it is fundamentally different (uses Octopus, doesn't use Steal or druid).   I'll leave it up to you, either an official variant of yours, or I can make a new topic.
i will add it tomorrow... unless you want to make a new post.

100,000th view! FTW!
well.. 10k.. not quite 100k yet :P

actually, looking at what happens in this thread is one of the few things I still do related to elements (and checking the oracle... so i get my nymphs in case I ever decide to play again)

BTW, what are the current stats (and card set) for the best version? I guess I better put it into the top post...

Why is PuppyChow's Rainbow so popular? Is there a reason why it is considered to be one of the better decks to farm gods?  ::) Plus, is the 65.6 win percentage against ALL gods, not just the twelve "original" ones? Sorry, today i just have a lot of questions. ;D
Indeed, puppy's deck (as is mine) is one of the popular "new" fg killers... and his deck has slightly higher winning stats for some.

I agree the arctic octopus has had the biggest impact to my deck. For the last 250+ games or so with the Octopus it has made certain FG's much much easier. I am 18-1 vs miracle since i put the Octopus in and the one loss was a deckout. Prior to that i was winning 71% of my matchups vs miracle. Also i've been 17-17 vs Scorpio which is probably an even bigger improvement because up to that point i was 6-39 (13.3%). All of my stats used are variants of Ivalmians/Puppychow and maybe a few others smattered in for a few games.

Sorry for jinxing you Asteroth.  :D  The one long game i had against Chaos Lord was ridiculous. I could see how certain games against Chaos Lord would be impossible to win without the Druid. If you're Pulvy gets destroyed you may never get enough dmg going to cut through the Dis Shield late game. And if your FQ dies or your graveyard gets stolen... good luck. I had my graveyard stolen that game and that really ruined my day.
that's why druid is I think a must.. even as an additional card... it makes things faster, allows you to win games you would have lost otherwise, and I don't think it make you loose often..

Tutorials / Re: Which Rare Weapon Should I Pick?

I  think that giving only 4 to eternity is silly.. most of the good rainbow decks use it and, frankly, if a player wants to farm gods he should pick this weapon. The only other useful weapon in a rainbow is pulverizer, the rest can be farmed once you have an upped deck easily....

If you wanted to, i guess you could add jmizzle7's god farming deck, it looks decently popular. In fact, I might try it sometime, but for now im sticking with my scaredgirl's ULTIMATE deck.
added..

Now that I have this deck fully upgraded and I can compare its performance, I am really having trouble with this deck.

Now, it's not the deck but the way it draws.  My single most common opening draw is 1 tower which is inconsistent with predicted towers in the opening draw.  The next most common is 4 towers.  Right now, nearly every other game I am discarding on the second turn. 

I have been playing card games long enough to know not to read into these things too easily.  Based on the way the deck plays (i.e. clumping of like cards), I am starting starting to no longer believe the deck is fully randomized but that clumping is occurring.   My success is directly linked to the amount of towers in my opening draw.
Haha.. don't loose hope, I asked zanz and he said draws ARE fully randomized... the thing is, random doesn't mean "not clumped" as you might be having a low probability but random bad clumping :P

Anyways, if you're trying the 4SD version, try the 5 sd one, if you're trying the 5sd, try 4 sd. I've frankly been playing 4 sd and it works like a charm... I might switch to try the 5 sd one but frankly I've been playing less than one game a day lately so that's not nearly enough for me to test 5sd version :)

With the druid included with Vreely's build, i am currently 117-98 (54.42%) . I will admit i am not one of the better players but in retrospect i was running at about 46-48% with Ivalmian's builds over the last 250-300 games or so (Ivalmian's worked better for me then Jangoo's and PuppyChows builds). So take that for what it's worth. I too am interested to see if Vreely's stats have held up.

My most marked improvement with this build is vs. Seism (10-11) and Scorpio (8-14). Before my totals were Seism (16-35) and Scorpio (8-46).
Seism I do well against even with the 4SD version (current first deck in the first post) but scorpio is definetly a problem..

Edit: I added the deck insert code to the top post..

Competitions / Re: Voting: Design A Quest

must win votes  >:D

Actually.. there should be a run off unless there is a clear winner since it seems that there are like 5-6 quests that have similar number of votes.
