Hello.

I started playing this game on Kong about two weeks ago when it was the badge of the day. I ended up hanging around a while.

I was going to participate in this week's tournament, but I don't have enough of the specified cards yet (not that are worth a crap, anyway), so my hope is to jump into one in the near future.

I've already met several of you in chat and there seems to be a very good community present.

I look forward to getting to know the rest of the community as well, and thanks for having what so far, seems to be about the best CCG available.

"Not bad for free!"

Thanks!

Welcome to the forums!

If you're looking for any help or strategies to build up that cardpool, there are a bunch of tutorials and articles that you might be interested in! I personally recommend the following:

For basic deckbuilding: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/tutorials/9-tips-for-better-deck-building/
For a comprehensive overview: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/tutorials/from-bronze-to-plat-from-noob-to-vet-the-fun-way-(1-32)/

There's also the Deck Help section if you want advice on a specific deck, and Mentor Program if you're interested in more hands on help.

Enjoy your stay!

Nice to see you, welcome to the community. Good to see Kong give us badge of the day so that we have some publicity. Hope to see you around for the long run!

Thanks guys. I've made two decks already (well, not to say they're original or anything, but what is these days?).

I did pretty well with my bronze farming deck, which was pretty basic Darkness. Then I did a silver farming Darkness deck that used Shards of Patience and Devourers. It did really well.

Now I'm trying to build Swallow, and it seems like that's the best known Plat farming deck. I'm saying that based off the Decks with Stats thread.

But for my best hope to be to get a deck that is generally 50-50 in Plat seems a bit daunting.

I guess one thing that would help, is if Swallow's not actually the best deck any more if someone could let me know. Right now, I'm really just looking to get the cards and electrum I will need to be able to participate in a tournament.

I might check into the mentorship thread too. Thanks for posting that above, and thanks for the warm welcomes!

All of the stats are outdated, so it's a bit hard to say which farmer is actually the best. Any of the decks in the list are going to be fairly decent. Swallow is certainly one of the more popular ones, along with PDials and VDB. There are others that are "just as good" relatively speaking but "best" isn't currently quantified.
