The Essential Halfblood Farmer

[doomgaze]

just an upgrade of info

i cut another dragon  for the sixt immortal... dragons are too expensive to keep them with the mindgate

so the list i'm playing is

15 pillars
6 immortals
1 dragon
2 mindgate
6 shields

till now all wins... 12 one after another

i'd i menaged even a win with an opponent full light that played an hope with 6 light beings on field......

i stole a pegasus , few pillars and some blessings..... and dive like crazy

the only change's i've made to this deck is adding the lobtomiser whitch does more damage than the immortal and renders poision creatures useless and a few lightnings

[Istari.]

Trying this deck out, only issues I've been having are with decks that can mess with my shields, either with destruction or theft. Adding a lobtomiser helped with some annoying creature abilities and its worth putting in if you have one

[Ant-n-ero]

imo lobotomisers are the easiest weapons to obtain,
you can get them from top50 using either fire golem rush, or even this deck (just without lobotmisers) or you might get a farm (nearly every actual farm has lobo as well as other rares)

so farm lobo is the highest amount of any rare I've won, with a total of about 24 now (second highest rare won is green shard - got about 14) so you can sell the others for cash =D

i have that deck but i added 1 more dragon and a PU

Thanks for all the work you've put into this, Essence.

I'm still having troubles with the half-bloods, but I've used this deck (the deflag variant, minus a lobotomizer) to farm T50 for the past day pretty successfully (trying to get a lobotomizer...I had already grabbed an eternity for my 500 pointer)

Ended up with 3 green shards, 4 discords, Arsenic, 2 Titans, 6 Pulverizers, Druidic Staff, 4 Tridents, 1 Morning Star, 2 Miracles, 4 Owl's Eyes, and 2 Pharaohs......before getting that one card I needed. Ahh well, it was fun.


I guess a special thanks goes to Boingo for switching his deck up from Fire (which I couldn't beat) to Aether.

This deck works well for me. I have only had a few defeats using it.

Doesn't work at all for me. I played about 20 matches against lvl5 with this deck and only won once.
Here's what happens with most halfbloods:

Fire: destroys my phase shields, use firewall to kill my creatures and uses crimson dragons to kill me.
Water: poisons me to death with chrysaoras. Phase shields can't block that.
Air: only one I can beat.
Earth: pulverizes my phase shields and kills me with shriekers.
Gravity: uses momentum on colossal dragons rendering phase shields useless.
Time: outlasts my phase shields with sundials and time shield.
Life: use thorned carapaces to kill my creatures and constantly heals himself.
Death: poisons me until death.
Light: uses hope at last moment, so I can't even damage him anymore.
Darkness: steals my phase shields.
Aether: does the same thing as me but is faster since he has *3 mark. He simply outlasts me.
Entrophy: once he uses discord I can't summon creatures anymore.

well you've obviously not played elements for more than a few hours thenotherwise you would know several things,
such as 1 lobotomiser (2 in the deck for better draws) mean you can pretty much beat water and death as no chysoara or other poisoning can be added from them (after you lobotmise it off)
also it removes momentum allowing you to beat any side of things
also 2 SoG means that you can heal +10 HP every end of your go, negating 2 or even 3 creatures sometimes, and up to 10 poison
for the others, try and change your style of play? maybe try summoning only immortals or dragons until you have at least +20) damage out, then play shields?...

add in these 2 SoG and lobotomisers and try again, you'll see that the 34 decks is a million times more effective


~~EDIT~~
oh, discord is eay to win, all you have to do is get a shield up and it blocks the scramble so try and play 1 shield (which should be after 2/3 turns if they're scambling you) and then play damage, whilst chaining shields

noob here, love this deck with half bloods, only changes i mage was minus 3 immortals added 2 dragons and an electrocutor, played 50 games this morning lost 13, but got 3 upgraded cards, werewolf,explosion and elite pegasus. and 9 regular cards, much better than playing ai3 for cards anyways, as i rarely got a card playing a week, got all those today. thanks for sharing this deck, i really appreciate it.(edit, ive never won elemental mastery on half blood)

Using 2 shards of Gratitude greatly helps with EMs as when you chain shields you can heal for 5-10 HP a go

The basic deck suggested by the topic starter is terrible, at least it was for me. My previous deck was a scarab rush deck, had 90%+ winning percantage against AI3, but had no real chance against HB, so yesterday (after got lucky to win a lobotomizer), i changed to the basic mono aether shown here in this topic. It was horrible against HB, 20% or less winning percentage. The reason: you shouldnt play out the shields early, as it is suggested. Also, AI shields are messing you up badly, not to mention that if the AI can remove or steal your shield (also the AI mindgating your dim shield), its a quick match over.

I modified the deck in the way some others suggested, changed mark to fire, added a lobo and 2 deflags and it trippled the winning percentage which is 50-60% now. Still pretty bad compared to my previous deck, also i have to say, i was farming coins faster before, but thats just my luck, couldnt get some decent cards from the rolls to sell.

I suggest to the OP to modify the starting post and show two decks, one with deflag and one with steal. Also, remove the suggestion to use the shields early, that advice is messing up the newbs the most.

Other than that, thanks for this deck, i guess it gets much better later as ill start upgrading the cards. (Just sold a won condor, 1115 coins...)

OH, and if im here, can you tell me how to get shards? Sorry, i tried searching through the forums, found only one advice, to kill T50, but for some reason i cant start T50 matches.
