Str3aks's Bronze Arena Creations

[Str3aks]

Simple thread to keep track of my decks created for arena.  As this thread is in the Bronze forum, it will mostly contain decks from my alt accounts.
Feedback is always welcome.  Enjoy!

Deck idea/description:
With a fantastic card like Rage Potion, I went with a simple "mono" fire midrange (is that an archetype in Elements?) sort of deck.  Lava Golems make up the "meat" of the deck, supported be a couple Phoenix and Dragons. Added some Deflag for permanent control (Curse those Dim mono-Aether decks!) and a couple Rain of Fire for mass CC rounded out with the Rage Pots from the oracle.  Not particularly creative, but one of my better performing decks.  I believe this one peaked at rank 5.

Deck idea/description:
Not the greatest card from the oracle, but my previous deck is dying (27 hp) so I figured this is as good a chance as any to make a new deck. Looking through my limited (alt account) collection, I didn't see much synergy to work with. Although Gravity and Life don't intuitively go together, I know that Adrenaline works best with 3 attack creatures, so I went with that.
I picked up a few pillars and a couple Armagio from the bazaar and threw in a couple Life creatures and a Titan to round out the damage lineup. I was hesitant to include Momentum because I'm afraid the AI will play it on an Adrenaline'd creature and screw everything up. But I wanted to make sure I had some way to kill mono-Aether, so I put them in. Armagio doesn't really fit the rush style of the deck, but I'm hoping he can provide enough defense to keep me alive while I get my creatures going.

Deck idea/description:
Not much to this deck, really. I was given an Earth card, so I picked an Earth strategy: quantum denial. Earthquake to interrupt their quanta production, and reverse time to put more pressure on their quanta spending. Graboids and Golems are there for damage.
I don't expect much from this deck, but my previous deck was completely dead (rank 4266 or something) so it's better than nothing.

Deck idea/description:
Pretty much went for an "Adrenastaves" kinda deck. Druidic Staves + Adrenaline + 3 attack creatures. In this case I went with Horned Frogs because they're cheap and Firefly Queens to provide an endless supply of damage. I also included Fog Shield for some cost effective defense, and shockwave for a bit of creature control.

Deck idea/description:
Well, it's pretty boring, but with Drain Life I went with a mono-Darkness deck. I decided to take advantage of the extra mark to power out my dragons earlier, hopefully with Liquid Shadow. I wanted to mix in Aether for some Parallel Universe, but I didn't have any.
I don't expect this deck to do very well, the AI is comically bad about using Drain Life for 2 damage.

Deck idea/description:
Keeping it simple. I had Rustlers and Adrenaline from previous decks, so I went with Adrena-Frogs. I included Nova just to have something to activate abilities. If I have Forest Spirit and a Rustler on the board, then each Nova provides 4 usable quanta.
I think the biggest weakness of this deck is overall low card quality. It will only take a little CC to shut this down completely. But if the AI can save the Adrenaline for the Frogs and the Spirits (buffed only once) then I think it can do alright.

Deck idea/description:
Horned Frogs were terrible (1:18) so I threw this together. I didn't have a lot of time when I was building this, but I went with a Life-heavy rainbow. It hasn't done great, but it's better than the frogs!

Pretty straightforward Earth-based denial deck. Earthquake (& Trident) to limit their income, Reverse Time to make them re-spend their quanta, and of course, Graboids for the cost-efficient damage.

Deck idea/description:
I don't have any Pandemonium to work with on this account, so I decided to make the Dolls a secondary focus of the deck.
The main combo here is Black Dragon + Liquid Shadow. With such high attack, the vampire ability is amazing, and 5 hp is enough to survive a couple turns of poison.
To make use of the Voodoo Dolls, I added Rage Potion and Nightfall, which can also work with the dragons. The dolls can also be used with Liquid Shadow, especially if Nightfall is out, or they've already been hit with a potion.
Everything else was added to round out the deck. I had to add a lot of pillars to include the control elements I wanted, so I may go with Devourers instead (Option B, below)

Previous deck went 24hrs+ without getting a win, so it was time to retire. With Time Factory I pretty much used all my time quanta cards, then filled in with Earth. Graboids ftw!

How come you still post here and in your Gold thread?

How come you still post here and in your Gold thread?

My alt accounts are still bronze, so I post those decks here. They're both on Firecell working their way (slowly but surely) toward Limitless Speed, but still only level 15 so they may be here a while.
