Spoiler for Requirements:
Spoiler for Score:
Spoiler for Join Date:

Spoiler for Phase 1:
Beginning War Training
Spoiler for Hidden:
Speed Training
Spoiler for Hidden:
Spoiler for Time Trials:

I might manage to shave a few seconds off this later.

Spoiler for Untouchable Quickness:

I might manage to shave a turn off this later.

Strength Training
Spoiler for Hidden:
Spoiler for Heavy Lifting:

It took around 400 mutations (and I almost ran out of creatures to mutate), but I finally got a time creature with dive (in the top left).

Fun fact: if you use SoR on a creature with >499 attack then it resets to 499. Oh well, at least I got 2 dives out of it :) I realised afterwards that I could double the attack again if my mutation was a flying time creature with dive and I had a sky blitz in the deck, but there's no way I'm going through that again.

Spoiler for The Deck I Used + How Long It Took:

Yep, over 5 hours. I have too much free time.

Spoiler for Strength in Numbers:

Again, I could make it a little higher if I kept all the mutations I had with dive or endow. Never doing that again, though xD

Endurance Training
Spoiler for :
Spoiler for Incredible Fortitude:

As you can see I had something fairly elaborate planned, but you can't cause a creature to have >499 health with BB. Still, 501 health (middle right) isn't bad.

Spoiler for Unwavering Will:
Will do this later.





Building War Golems
Spoiler for Hidden:
Amilir

Years ago a feared, cruel traveler stumbled upon the lands of the Sky Dragons. Amazed by the raw power he found there he sought to learn all he could from these noble people, but the Sky Dragons were unafraid of his power and turned him away. Amilir, however, was not to be stopped. Infatuated with the strength of the Sky Dragons, mightiest of all creatures, he vowed to have none other travel at his side. He planned meticulously, using skills learnt from the realms of Darkness, and over a great period of time his promises of renewed vitality with every attack tempted a band of Dragons to his cause. With these 'Shadow' Dragons at his side he achieved his desires, but still he lusted for more of the Sky's powerful treasures.

The Sky Dragons thought themselves untouchable, but once more Amilir outsmarted them. Protected by the cover of darkness, wrapped in the blackest of cloaks, he stole from the Sky Dragons some wings as mighty as theirs and a glorious bow to slay his enemies from great distances. Finally satiated Amilir fled into the night, leaving behind no trail to follow.

To this day the Sky Dragons hunt him, but always he escapes their gaze - hiding from them with the aid of his cloak, fleeing from them on stolen wings, and slaying them from afar with shot from his stolen bow. Amilir is now the greatest enemy of Air's followers, but is perhaps the strongest among them.



The aim of this deck is to out-heal your opponents damage whilst giving them no chance to disrupt your strategy thanks to cloak. The deck works well in the hands of the AI as it mainly involves playing the cards as you draw them, though it sometimes uses LS on bizarre targets.

ART:
IDEA:

NOTES:
Airborne.

It's far from creative, but as for a for a card that "helps mitigate a weakness" it's pretty good.
SERIES:

Currently Air only has two practical sources of damage unupgraded - Dragons and Nymphs. Both of these suffer the same problem, i.e. they're extremely expensive. This makes them slow to play (particularly in a duo deck) and means you have to play a large number of quanta sources, using up precious card slots. Having a strong mid-range hitter would speed air decks up significantly.

Spoiler for Example Deck:
Hover over cards for details, click for permalink

This deck could be used effectively by Generals, Lieutenants and Soldiers alike - any extra upgrades can be used on wyverns followed by a dragon.

Spoiler for War Bonus:
Nope.

Spoiler for Loyalty Bonus:
Still no.

Tasks arriving later arrived.

Various edits:
  • Beginning War Training finished. Vague attempt to prettify spoilers made.
  • Building War Golems finished.
  • Entering the War Forge finished.

Just a post to say I'll be away now (with the TrO's permission) until the 26th - I'll miss phase 3, and a little more besides. If you ask me a question in any of the Phase 3 threads (not here!) I'll answer it when I get back. A few answers to some of the more common questions:

Spoiler for Questions:
If Air trials were full would you join the trials of a different element?
No.

Would you General in War?
Yes.

Would you become a Brawl Boss?
No.

Who do you think the better Master would be - you or justaburd?
I'm honestly not sure. I think we'd both do well.

You went missing for three weeks in the middle of trials! (Yes, I know this isn't a question.)
It's the one significant period of inactivity for me the entire year - quite unfortunate timing for me, but much better than in the middle of war.

And that's all you're getting. Cya all later :)
