The Essential Halfblood Farmer

[Core]

I just used this deck for the first time and I got a mastery.
It works really well, so thanks for making it and what not.

thing that really kills this deck is life decks with thorn carapace, and heals. just not enough time to kill them

[lordfraction]

im gonna try this deck with a dark symbol and 4 steals, and see what happens

[Downsociety]

soo many shields it's mind blowing! thats 18 turns untouched for those of who didn't pass the fourth grade.

i tryed this dec k again some FGs   and works well for a nonuppgraded one     
i never losed against neptune
first deck i seen a chance vs Divine Glory !!!!!!!!!!
no chance vs Seism (the Quicksands make u unable to hold shields up AND deal dmg)

Hey, I read this and modified my aether/gravity into this deck, except with lobotomizer included.  It is working extremely well, I'm winning around half of the fights against ai5.  I've already won an unupgraded titan and an Electrocutor.  Thanks for the help!

Edit: I forgot to add, nothing in my deck is upgraded except for that electrocutor that I just won.

I've been using this deck more, here's what I've found so far:

Pros:
60% or so win rate, more once you start to get upgraded cards
low cost for the deck, especially if you chose aether as your starting element
very simple deck, low chance of a bad draw

Cons:
Many shields (gravity shield and dissipation shield in particular) are problematic
If the opponent gets out discord before you have your shields up, things get rough
If the opponent gets a creature with butterfly effect out, they'll destroy your shields, Lobo/electro helps stop this though
If the opponent gets emphatic bond(s) out, you won't be able to do enough damage and will run out of shields and die
Devourer spammers (ie Decay) will kill you with ease

I'll edit this occasionally as I use this deck more.

The exact deck I am using is mark of aether, 15x aether pillar, 6x dimensional shield, 5x immortal, 4x phase dragon, 2x electrocutor for 32 total cards.

Just tried this deck out on a FG, got osiris and beat him.  I got a precognition from the roll, which I sold for 1100+ coins, and upgraded my Lobo.   

This deck BEASTS.  I would highly recommend getting lobotomizer as your rare card if you haven't picked yours yet, as it is extremely useful for this deck.

LOL
just won a HB with this deck and got a mastery >_<
woo go me

[havacookie]

I got this deck and started playing AI5s and won a Discord the first game

[Ge0metry v1.2]

Modified it so it has less of a weakness to shields.

+2 Steal, -1 Immortal and -1 Phase Dragon.
Mark of Darkness of course.

This deck has netted me pretty much every rare in the game (except Nymphs)
I have won each and every weapon (except Fahrenheit because of an unlucky spin and now I can't find the farm again >_<)
I have won about 8 green shards - and have used all the money won to upgrade 2 of them
I have won 2 yellow shards
I haven't seemed to win any blue shards -- it's like they avoid the spins -- all I get is green ones >_<
I have won about 8 Pharaoh/Squid each
I have won about 4 Miracles


All in all -- this was the best deck I ever discovered whilst still being a newbie -- I seriously advise if you are a new player (<5000 score) you build this (in short -- 15 aether pillars - 5 immortals - 6 Dim.Shields - 4 phase dragons) and farm T50 (you will soon learn who are good farms by playing many times)
If you win lobo's - stick em in --- I have won 8 I think but obvs only put about 2 in
All the money won should go to upgrad SoG first!!! they seriously help getting masteries which = 60 electrum + spin money!
I've now got 2 and stuck them in too

so my deck is now
15 pillars
5 immortals
6shields
4 drags
2 lobo's
2 SoG

and it wins very often (against the right farms) with a lot of masteries -- rares and cash flow around this deck1
