Advice on first Silver deck?

[Jay-Shay]

Hello! I've been playing this game on and off for awhile, but I'm pretty new to arena. But, since I've been playing for awhile, I'm already in Silver League and I want to make sure my stuff is up to par. (Left out electrum and thumbs up thumbs down because I don't know)

(+2 Owl's Eye. I tried to recreate the deck just in the "your deck" section, but I didn't have enough Owl's Eyes....)

Erm, how is it rank 3 with a 5-6 win ratio? Add flying weapons, you have way too many OE's. The FFQ decks I lose to are the ones that are really streamlined and get out bonds fast. Maybe drop the rustlers and add more fog shields?

Whoops, switched rating and rank! Thanks for pointing that out. I based this off of what I had used for farming, but that sounds like a better idea for pvp. I was just trying to make sure I had enough Life Quanta.

The AI is really bad with abilities. If it has 2 life quanta and a queen, it won't activate the ability. You could also consider running a miracle if you have it, or hope.
EDIT: Why don't you just spend those 4 extra points on wisdom? Can't hurt having an EE instead of and OE.

Is this any better? (Still the +2 Owl's Eye (well, one's an Eagle's Eye now..), not sure how to get the code for the exact Arena Deck.)

I don't have a miracle, but I do have a hope. I just thought fog shield might be better in case my fireflies get killed.

EDIT: Don't know why the Mark isn't showing, it's Air.

May be too many fog shields, don't want cluttered hand . Try to cut it down to 35 cards if you don't have any other ways of drawing, such as hourglasses or dexterity. You can use the arena tool antiaverage created, or use the trainer to make the deck. http://www.elementsthegame.com/trainer
I don't normally use FFQ, so I might be completely wrong, but that's what I think.

Thanks for the help!

[flyingcat]

No problem! I spend most of my EtG time in the arena, making my deck or grinding Gold. I know a bit about FFQ, from what I've seen in Bronze (it's the most hilarious thing to see them get their first queen out on turn 6, when they have like 20 hp). You can always post in the deck help section if you want more varied opinions though.

To clear things up, your deck at the moment

I would suggest (though I have been wrong before) -3 Fogs, -2 FW, -1 Lpend, -1 EP, -1 WP

And there you go, 35 cards

Awesome, thanks! I ended up removing a few fog shields but I wasn't really sure what else to get rid of. I'm still pretty new to all of this theory stuff.

[flyingcat]

Either that or go for a completely new deck idea based on crusaders/OE CC combo. Air has SO much CC. If you have any SoFree, adding them might not be a bad idea either.

No Shards of Freedom for me yet, I'm still working on getting a good bronze grinder. I'm trying out different variations on Grabbow that I can find. I went with FFQ because I knew it pretty well. Thanks for the help, everyone.
