Aether / Re: New FG farmer - Zeru's Mirage Deck

« on: August 13, 2010, 08:04:02 am »

I desperately wanted to like this deck, I upgraded a bunch of cards just to build it. I love the way the deck plays but the win percentage is fairly atrocious even when I added 3 lobo's. The deck relies too heavily on the opponents draw to be a consistent winner from what I could tell in the 40-50 games I just played with it.

If you say:
 "ivalmian's deck sucks ass  worse that an 'only pillar deck' but I win 50%+ with puppy"
I'd accept that.. but to say BOTH decks don't work is a little silly

It's your strategy that doesn't work...

Wow, defensive much? I suggest you reread what I said. Please note the complete lack of my claiming that your deck doesn't work.

I have, the win rate with your deck is lower than what I get with mine. It could just be random sampling variation but of the ~30 games I played with your deck I only won 8.

Also it's still an Eternity/Oty deck so there isn't much incentive to change.

I do win more than 50% with the deck I use but it's boring as hell using the same deck over and over.

And to answer yendorii, Take Aflatoxin instead of Oty, and use a bigger deck instead of eternity. Maybe take an extra firestorm and a firebuckler then. But I agree that mono-duo do need some kind of boost so they can stand a better chance against FGs.

To be fair I run a 60 card deck with eternity. I'd love to find a small fast FG farming deck that didn't require this but I have yet to find one that works. Ivalmain's speed deck has an atrocious win rate when I use it. I know someone will suspect I just don't know how to play the deck but I would be surprised if that were the case. I do win more than 50% with the deck I use but it's boring as hell using the same deck over and over.

I'm with Jangoo as well. I started playing right around the time FrozenFlame did and if I hadn't started farming T50 right before the farm decks all mysteriously disappeared I would never have gotten the cards I needed.

Jmizzle would you kindly point to the deck that can farm FG's with a decent win percentage that doesn't require an eternity? I'm asking legitimately not to be an ass, I don't recall seeing one. I would also like to see a non rainbow FG farm deck or a rainbow that doesn't even have an Oty in it that can do well.

I have gotten to the point in the game where I'm just passing time waiting for the mechanics to get the fixes they obviously need. I love what Zanz has done so far and I'm willing to be patient but I don't understand the viewpoint that you seem to be expressing. The mono, duo and trio decks need to get a huge boost to be able to compete with a rainbow deck. It's a fundamental flaw in Elements right now and the Nymphs have not done anywhere near enough to change it.

I never thought of it as a bug, just a convenience so that you can select an AI without having to click close.
