The AI3 Farming Challenge

If you had read through the thread you can clearly see the top 2 decks. Mono-life and plastiques. Personally I would go for mono-life.

[Daneman]

my favourite would have to be shrieker deck or mono speed dark

Hi there, this is my first post on this forum

I did 60 min run with my mono-dark deck

Code: [Select]

5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5ul 5ul 5ul 5ul 5ul 5ul 5um 5um 5um 5um 5um 5um 5up 5uq 5uq 5ut 5ut 5ut 5utPretty costly for start, but after testing both mono-life, plastique's (before lava golem nerf) and this, I found this better.

After 60 mins (with spins):
Win 36, Loss 3 (due to: 1 extreme bad startup, 1 strong oty and 1 maxwell's demon), 2x EM, +600 score

Gold: 843

Cards I won:
1x: nova, momentum, heal, emerald shield, druidic staff ( ), fire bold, arctic squid, golden dragon, guardian angel, reverse time, anubis, dusk mantle
and 2x ice dragon

There is room for some more EM's and games, but I'm quite new to game itself, so it isn't that good. Probably I should take away one nightfall before I started (two were too much), one steal is perfectly sufficient for level 3.

And I would say, that I got +5 electrum thanks to spins on every game (on average), so I just wouldn't skip them

After the Lava Golem nerf I kept playing with plastiqe deck. I just have changed 2 Lava Golem to Graviton Fire Eater. It still works pretty well, maybe slightly slower.

[Kameda]

I'm running plastiqe deck and it's really fast. I don't know how it was before the nerf, but is really fast.

[plastiqe]

It was super crazy fast before the nerf, now it is only crazy fast.




P.S. A couple times throughout the forums I've seen people mention how they like my deck, which is cool & I appreciate it.  I agree with Drawckab about updating post #2 but thread creator Silkenfist has been AWOL since Feb.

[DennisP]

This is my first post.

I love your deck plastiqe.
I've been using it for Top 50, and I have been very successful. I've only lost 1 out of every 6 matches.

But I am at the point where i want to start upgrading my cards.
Is this the deck I should upgrade, or should I find another deck thats stronger when upgraded?

[plastiqe]

If you wanted to play the identical deck upgraded this is the order I'd upgrade the cards in:
Immolation x 6
Lava Golem x 6
Graboid x 1
Lycanthrope x 2
Forest Spirit x 2
Arsenic x 1
Photons x 6 (optional)

Do not upgrade the Nova's as you don't want to have to switch to a Mark of Entropy.

Now I don't know what the best deck to upgrade is, it's hard to say cause different decks are gonna excel at different things.  I haven't even gotten around to upgrading the deck myself, but I'd probably try out some other styles if I did.

The deck that Kharnics posted in Fast Pillarless Golem Rush looks pretty good (maybe with a couple tweaks).

Stumbled across this thread. I actually just played for 30 minutes against level 3 and kept track of my games for my own records. Though I used no upgraded cards, I did use two vampire stilettos. When I find the time in the future I'll replace them with a couple "drain life"'s and update this post with the stats for a fully non-upgraded non-rare deck, but for now this will have to do.

Code: [Select]

5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5ul 5ul 5ul 5ul 5ul 5ul 5um 5um 5um 5um 5um 5um 5ur 5ur 5uu 5uu 5uu
in 30 minutes:
-15 wins, 2 EMs (could have gotten more EMs if I'd planned my attacks/liquid shadows more)
-Cards won: bone dragon, 2 blessings, fire spirit, paraist, virus, deflagration
-total coins gained (after selling cards won): 643
-1 loss to entropy. He played discord, dissipation shield, and then maxwell's demon, sealing my fate.

hope this helps somebody.

My mono fire:-) :

Code: [Select]

5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f2 5f2 5f2 5f2 5f2 5f2 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5fc 5fc 5fc 5fc
I tested this deck for 90 minutes with spins. Results:
Won/Lost: 57/4
Electrum won: 1124
+ bunch of cards of course, but it doesn't matter.

So deck is a little bit slower then plastiqe's, but it earn roughly the same amount of electrum.

I suffer 3 loses from entropy mark and 1 from earth.

This deck is completely ridiculous. I love it! Thank you Plastique (but I'm grrring epicly when I meet a deck with ice shield/annoying freeze shitcreatures/time reverse)

[Drawckab]

Plastique, I don't claim myself to be a great deck builder by any means, but I wanted to give you my two cents on your deck.  I made a change that works pretty well.

I had just sold my Arsenic when I decided to try your deck so I threw in a Boneyard instead.  When it's in play I can Immolate my photons without losing a creature.  If I'm holding photons but no Immolation I just play them.  If they get killed I still have a skeleton to Immolate.  It works great.

Another thing I tried instead of the Boneyard was a Vulture.  Every time I Immolated a photon the Vulture grew.  It worked okay, but the first time I came up against a Bonewall I realized the benefit of having a lot of 1/1 skeletons laying around.
