Elements 1.21

[Laxaria]

The only thing I don't like is Graboids being nerfed. I guess we now have to find a new AI3 speed deck...

I think plastiqe's deck works pretty well:

The the advent of Phoenix and Ashes, I think mono-fire will be faster than Graboids now. Which is a little sad but wholly unexpected. Why should earth be faster than offensive fire?

[jmizzle7]

Man, I don't get why there is no love for mono life. It has been proven to be just as fast as the shrieker spam deck, and it is extremely easy/inexpensive to build.

Too many people obsessed with mono-Earth imo. Both mono-Fire and mono-Life are faster yet many people still think mono-Earth is faster.

"Deck approved by me" ;P

There's always mono-Life and mono-Fire. May not be as fast, but both are still very good decks.

Not as fast? Fire is.

I forgot to mention one important fact when I asked my question. Right now, what is the fastest unupgraded AI3 grinder? And preferably no rares required.

[Lex]

I think the fire one in post above yours. I got ~1win per 1-1,5 min with it.

Right now, graboids and adrena-frogs are probably tied for fastest mono decks for lvl3, with no-land stompy (1 (http://elementsthegame.wikia.com/wiki/No-Land_Stompy), 2 (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,1874.msg37724#msg37724)) probably being a bit quicker. Not sure where mono fire fits in.

Zanz didn't mention that fog shield is now 40% block as opposed to 30%. I'd pay 1 air quanta for that.

[Clathius]

Not sure I understand the nerf to Graboids.

Mono-life is just as fast AND has healing.
Mono-fire is just as fast AND has incredible permenant control.

The only thing Earth had going for it was graboids and they required 2 elements in order to play.

In fact, if you play Top50, you rarely come accross a deck using Graboids however, you WILL come across mono-Life and mono-Fire decks.   Further, those pure mono decks very often beat my upgraded Graboid deck.   

The only reason I use the Graboid deck is because it uses Mark of Time which synergizes with my Mark of Time Rainbow.   With this nerf, I'll just switch to the already superior mono-life or fire and just have to suck up the 100 electrum to switch marks.

This game suffers from a disturbing lack of deck diversity and this change will just make this worse. 

[Robsta43]

The advantage of graboid decks is that they can stand up to otyghs better.  I don't think this made them overpowered but... on the bright side it'll make Rainbow weaker. 

Looking at these nurfs I think the 3rd hardest false god (as I rate them) will get quite the nuke and might even be beetable.

i like the new Thorn Shield for life

I cant wait until this goes into beta so we can try it out.
