Submachine's Quest in Platinum

[Submachine]

Thanks rippy! Here is the deck that I used. Overquanta seems to be working fine with other decks too.

Oracle Card: Firebolt.

Spoiler for Hidden:

STAMINA 195; Wisdom 20; Int 3; Dex 2.
Wins: 51; Lost: 6. Age: 8. HP: 1.
Rank: 5. Thumbups: a bit less than 34/51. Taking it down as low HP stalls serve no good.
I already put it here: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/platinum-league-decks/submachine's-idea-storage/msg1120558/#msg1120558
I'm also taking down this kind of special format, so this is the last time I used this.

Quest Completed! Overquantad Firestall proved to be worthy to reach Plat Rank 1 and here is the evidence.

Now that my main quest is over, i will continue collecting more arena decks, but only as a sidequest now. I won't use my old format any more, so I'll just stick with the full dek.im format from now on. Submachine reporting out. - 2014.05.05.

Today's oracle card is Pegasus. That card particularly asks for either a SoFree rush or a 60-card creature spam rainbow deck.

This was a good way to test something new, but I had no real expectations with this deck. I take it down so I can upload my new pendulum deck.

Accidently entered on Day 7 and saw a rank of 12 with 47-5. I was quite surprised as it was over rank 400 twice before that day. I still need to find the best mix that other players keep pawning me with in Plat. Next time I should focus on speed: no expensive cards, less combo components, more efficient attackers, midgame combo, etc.

I thought that this would be a nice catch against the Grand Quartet. Mass healing would screw pdials, momentum would screw Swallow and VDB, LS would also screw with Swallow while maybe RoLhope would have the greatest chance against it. But that's only just the theory part. What I think happened here is the combination of bad draws, insufficient overquanta and bad AI control (it sometimes uses Nightmare on the wrong targets). Next time i should do something about the quanta balance and maybe add some steals.

The Quest is completed twice!

Congratulations!

When can we see that Pestoid deck posted here?

[Submachine]

Thanks!

I will post it as soon as it drops out of T500, most likely in 3 or 4 days.

Look at the thumbups! Just look at them. I got so many plays in Top10 that it broke the thumbsup-calculator. ROFLMAO
But seriously, 199 thumbups out of 68 wins? And a negative amount of thumbdowns? Oh stop it you. ^^

Anyway, the deck was Rank 1 for 3 or 4 days, which is my new record. It managed to get a last win when it had 1 HP, but now I'm taking it down. The only bad feeling I have that this deck is sooo unoriginal. However, this was my very first monodark I submitted, so it's a milestone anyway.

The Oracle wants me to do bad things, because he gave me GoteP... AGAIN! That's also rank 1 material, but I don't really know where to improve with it, because I already tried a lot of things. Well, I think I still have some tricks up my sleeves...

Spoiler for Hidden:

Anyway, just look at it how lucky I got with getting more plays than anyone else:



SoV monodark deck got Rank 12 on TEH VERY FIRST DAY with 16-0! (Day 0)
19-0 on Day 1.
SoV monodark deck was Rank 2 with 28-0 on Day 2.
Rank 2 with 42-2 on Day 4.
Rank 1 from then on.

This sure needs some improvement, but blessing was never a rank 1 material card. Not even rank 100, if you ask me.
SoFree decks are usually better is slimmer decks. The arch nemesis of this deck was most likely Swallow, with PDials as a close second as in I assume the 2 miracles and dat random purify needed lucky draws against PDials to work. All in all, if I want to improve this deck, i need to do something with the draws, which is never easy in a combo deck. Maybe monolight would be a better way? We'll see.

I haven't gotten my next day's oracle card yet, so I'll just wait.

I'm genuinely surprised that this is my first time I got Graboid, and used it.
Well, everything you might want to know is listed above. ^^ Actually I wasn't really paying attention for top ranks, but as I remember it was doing a snake dance, fluctuating between low and high ranks, but never inside the T100.

Stone pillar stall, AKA How-did-i-mess-this-up-so-badly-? deck. I expected more than 0-4, but at least I got plays early. x) I still have to wait 3 hours for the next oracle card.

Now that my deck tops at Rank 3, I'm taking it down, because there is no way it can reach higher than that. Plus it's gonna have 1 HP soon, so there's not even a chance to get more wins. :/

Evidence for being unable to reach a higher rank:

Spoiler for Hidden:

What can I say about this deck? Water pendulums and purify were kind of a cheap shot anyway. xD Now I just quickly change to my Turquoise Nymph oracle card before it disappears. ^^
