So here we've got scorps for poison, cockatrices and frogs for dmg, heals for (hopeful) EMs and keeping u alive, and all important adrenaline to make the frogs do 12 dmg instead of 4 OR give the scorps 4 vs. 1 and double their poison. And mitosis to keep up the assault. Any thoughts?

Cut that deck down by 14 cards before you consider anything else. You're trying to pack too many strategies in one deck. Either go for a quick rush, mitosis scorpions, or some healing, cramming everything in and being a jack of all trades is a path to defeat.

It doesn't have to be 30, necessarily. But it's generally a good starting point- 35 max, 30 optimally. Any more, and your deck will most likely be too unwieldy/unreliable to be effective. You definitely have too many creatures- cut out at minimum 4 creatures, I suggest 6. Keep only what you need for 1 overall strategy for victory. You can splash in things that aren't necessarily related to your overall strategy, but you definitely need to focus on that first.

I think just -2 frogs -2 cockatrices would suffice for cutting-down purposes

Done. I'm just glad the orig. version worked- I finally got to 500 score.

***TRIALS RESPONSE***

Hi 714flame. Just have a few suggestions here for you. Like everyone else mentioned your deck is way to big especially if you want to farm with it. 30 card decks are just much faster and allow you to get the critical cards you need faster and like aves said less unweildy. So here is a slimmed down version of your deck.

Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bu 5bu 5bu 5bu 5bu 5bu 5c2 5c2 5c7 5c7 5c7 5c7 5c7 5c8 5c8 5c8 5c8 5c8 8pn


I took out the bonds and the emerald shield as well as the cockatrices and mitosis. I just replaced the cockatrices with horned frogs as they are cheaper to get out and are better targets for your adrenalines. Adrenalined frogs attack 4 times for 12 dmg vs cockatrices 3 times for 9 dmg. So cost ratio wise adrenalined frogs do 2 dmg per quanta vs 1.28 dmg and the 4 attacks cut through bonewalls that much quicker.With 11 creatures i find you really don't need mitosis and the emerald shield is not worth it for the cost.  I also took out one of your heals as well. For the most part you are not going to need much healing and two heals should be more then enough to get you through the match. Bonds just don't give enough bang for your buck although i do understand what you were doing with your bigger deck and mitosis. For the most part though bigger is not better when it comes to elements. Hope that helps.

@ mr blonde's deck:
i would switch the heals with bonds

@ original deck:
i think it's quite slow and weak against rushes
If you're weak, then run, but toward your enemy

You have 0 Mitosis, a max of 12 creatures, with a deck designed to rush the opponent to death or die trying.  Those Bonds wouldn't be seeing much, if any, use at all.

yeah bonds don't really work well with this deck. Heals are just to give you that extra turn or two to survive.

As well as a druidic staff if you have it. It can take up the weapon slot nicely.
PVE shouldn't be all about copying a deck code and converting time into electrum, score, and potentially rares.
If the only way to derive fun from a game is its PVP content, then non-hardcore players a.k.a. the mass are alienated from the hardcore community.
