Oh no! The Oracle gave me a bad card!

[Aves]

I've noticed the thread    'When the Oracle gives you a card, which ones should you skip?' (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,28686.12.html)

So... what happens when you make an arena deck based on them? Post here if you've made an arena deck based on a 'bad card'- shields (exclude dim shield and wings), weapons without animate weapon, adrenaline, or eclipse. After it gets taken down, (whether in a few minutes or a few days) post stats, too! It'll be pretty awesome if these decks win at least a few times. Why post a deck like this? You're not going to be able to post a new one until your next spin anyways, and it'll be fun- like making a serious deck with pre buff skeletons.

I slapped it together with cards I won from Miracle and sprinkled in a little air. After a  loss on my first game I was pretty discouraged. And then 3 wins in a row 
Okay, that might not be so good compared with those decks that are tested, tweaked, and/or well known, but for me, 3's a victory

Edit: Okay, so my deck kinda failed. 1 loss, 3 wins, then 3 losses. =/ Final stats are posted. I'll edit this post when I get my next one.

I'll edit this post when I get a card befitting this thread.

Just got adrenaline and posted a deck with it, so will have to see how it does.  2-0 so far and from playing against it myself, I'd say it could be pretty nasty though

Update:  currently at 18-3, rank 172.  Certainly not great but decent at least and probably would be doing better if it was getting more games.  2 of the 3 losses occurred very close to the same time and therefore may well have been the same person(I suspect a giant killer on the loose again actually ).  In any case, I would say yes, you can build a viable deck around adrenaline.

Well... nobody's posted anything else. *bump*

Tower shield really isn't that bad because you can essentially run ANY deck and toss x5 Tower Shield in it and BAM.. There you go.

I'd love to see a nymph deck that worked really well.

Tower shield is bad to get, 5 shields in a deck just slows it down.

Pretty easy to do do with golden nymphs
