The Arena / Re: Most annoying decks in the Arena

Solution: Pack emerald shield or reflective into whatever you're using. 

The problem with this is that Jade Shield and similar shields are pretty bad against other decks, and the AI is pretty bad at deciding which shield to play (or not to play).

Don't try to compensate for high-cost cards by adding a stupidly high number of Pillars. Compensate for your low quanta production by using low-cost cards. Frogs, Arsenic, Fog Shield, Pegasus, Thunderbolt, Flesh Recluse, and Phase Recluse are all good alternatives to the high-cost Titan and Deflagration.

Rainbow Decks / Re: CCYB - Air Nymph version

IIRC, standard is the Air Nymph version, with the Fractal / FFQ version for those who don't have an Air Nymph.

This deck looks pretty much identical to the standard CCWB, with the exception of an extra Antimatter and Quintessence.

Deck Help / Re: Super Oty.

Heh, I recall an old FG rainbow used this same Adrenaline / Basilisk Blood Otyugh strategy. Why does this deck have 6 Life Pendulums and only 3 Aether Pendulums, when you actually need more Aether than Life?

Deck Help / Re: Raging Abyss [50% Water][50% Fire]

« on: July 30, 2011, 01:26:50 am »

As much as I'd love to make a review for it for Trials, I'm afraid that for the purpose you made it for, it might be a doomed deck. 6 Abyss crawlers (36 attack) is just not enough damage to outrush them, and if you Rage Potion them, it'll make them absolute beasts damage-wise, they'll have low hp. The concept and goal make it a fairly doomed deck.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with the post. Replacing some Pendulums with Rage Potions might speed up the deck, but that only increases speed, neglecting the glass-cannon aspect of the Raging Abyss. Also, if you're up against heavy control, you have the option to simply no Rage the Crawlers.

Considering how many different types of decks there are in the Arena, Oraclebows and Fire decks will obviously win any poll because they're used frequently enough to make an impact on players.

The Arena / Re: Fire decks seem to be pretty powerful in the Arena.

Considering how Fire is pretty much objectively the most powerful Element in the game, it's not surprising that Fire Arena decks are powerful.

Huh, I never considered that putting up 120 card decks could be construed as trolling.

brb, throwing up a 120 card deck

If you actually seriously fully couldn't think of a deck/have time to make one/don't care - I have an alternative.


6x Rare 1, 6x Rare 2 - Pillars/Pends. 3 people will get some money, and possibly a rare.
0 Effort. Farms aren't great, I've only ever done this once, but for gods sake, I don't want to ever see another one of these in Arena ever again.

You're Welcome.

>Implying putting up farms is profitable for me

In upgraded CCYB, I stop drawing around 14-18, depending on the situation.
