DISCLAIMER: I used the forum search to see if this deck has already been posted. Unless I've done it completely incorrectly I didn't find it. If something like already has been posted, I sincerely apologize.


This is the first deck I've posted to the forums. It's done pretty well for me against AI3. I wanted to know what you guys think, if you have any suggestions, etc.

This is meant to be a starter. You know, all common relatively cheap cards. The hardest thing to afford are the 15 pendulums, Ironically enough! It seems to have an average win rate of 8 to 10 turns and I won 19 times out of 20 with it. Win streak of 19 (I lost the last match XD). In all honesty, I think this may have been a fluke of some very extreme luck, but I'm not entirely sure.

Hope I get some feedback soon!

You can modify the OP to add whatever you want 

Nice idea, btw!

This looks great. You might be overproducing in quanta- your QI is a bit low. You could add in a shield and weapon, but this looks fine as is.

What's OP?

And I've found the quanta balance to be pretty good. The forest spirits use up the water with the Nymphs Tears. And the Frogs use up the life, especially once you get a nymph. If anything I've found myself kind of dry most of the time. Thanks for the positive feedback!

"Looks great," that just warms me up inside. :')

And five stars?! WHOA!!!!

What's OP?

The main thread, the 1st post.

I can see why this has 5 stars It's a definite "recommend to a friend" deck for players who haven't yet played Elements long enough to be bashing FG's!

I must say in response to above post:
Yes, this deck is original. Yes, this deck is fun.
No, this deck is not that efficient. No, don't recommend it to newbs. (as veteran myself, i'd like to play it, but not to give it to newb. With the money, they could buy more efficient deck to later buy this.)

***TRIALS RESPONSE***

Looks like a fun and good deck. You are using too much Water Quanta, judging from the Quantum Index of your deck. UTAlan's Quantum Index Calculator (http://elements.alanbeam.net/qi.php) is a great tool for seeing if your deck is using too much or too less quanta. Do note that the Quantum Index Calculator doesn't calculate the cost for Life Nymph you got from Nymph's Tears, so I am guessing the Life Quanta is about perfect. Since you are using too much Water Quanta, you could try switching some of the creatures for cards like Arctic Squid, Ice Bolt, Ice Shield, whatever you want. Just make sure your Quantum Index for the deck is about 5, which is the average for all decks. Of course, you can't always use the Quantum Index to find out how many Pillars or Pendulums you need. Experimenting and testing is the way to go to get the right amount of Pillars or Pendulums. Quantum Index is just to give you a base to float around with so you don't lose too much while testing. The deck below is a possible deck that you can use. Feel free to change it however you like, or not use it, if you feel that yours is better.

I see two ways to improve this deck:
- Less redundant quanta, more offense. That means I'd add a few scorpions instead of pillars.
- A bit of defense. That means some Ice Shields.

Very nice idea; I haven't seen this done before.  It should work fairly well for somebody starting out.

If I have a green Nymph, what to take out for it? A NT, I assume? Or a pendulum?

-1 NT, -2 pendulums, +2 pillars as it looks for me.
