Competition: Battle of the Opposing Elements! (Masters only)

Well, good luck with that then. If anything, upgrade those dragons. Six cards isn't that bad. Even if you can't beat anything other than level 3, you can upgrade one card every 1.5 hours or so. That's one a day for the time you plan on spending on the game, Blood.

And yes, use Nightfall or Eclipse.

I think you misunderstood me on that part. I have two hours per day for all non-schoolwork related computer usage. Sure, my parents are pretty lax about this, but I still have lots of other things to do.

I know that Nightfall is the solution. With one Nightfall it would require two Holy Lights to kill a dragon. I tried my Mono-Dark deck against a test Mono-Light deck just now, and I lost once and barely won once. Seems like Dusk Mantle is also a very good asset; without it I'd be dead a long time ago.

Well, just think.  You know what deck he's going to play, use that to your advantage.  He's going to holy flash your creatures?  You're going to need a lot then.  Don't make it easy to pick the creatures to kill, and take creatures that he can't target.  He's got guardian angels?  That rules out parasites.  He's got a fast deck?  Slow it down.  The answer, I think, is a devourer dragon spam.  That'll stop his miracles.  If you can pillar screw him, you might be able to stop his miracles.  A couple drain lifes will give you the creature control you need to win, as well as life gain if you need it in a pinch.  You also know you won't be able to steal his shield and sword and that he'll have no permanents, so you don't need to take any steals.  How I would do it:

Mark of earth
Drain Life x 4
Devourer x 6
Dragon x 6
Nightfall x 2
Dusk Shield x 2
Obsidian pillar x 10

Maybe it's not the best deck, but it'll slow his miracles a butt ton, and he'll have to kill your devourers to do so at all.  Even if he drops a miracle, it won't save him for very long.  Once you get your Nightfalls out both of them will damage him, and the flash won't kill the dragons.

C'mon Blood, your the most logical person on the forum.  Think this through, you'll win EASILY.  You know the deck he's gonna play, and you know how to counter it.  Now get out there and kick some ass, Darkness was always the best element anyway.

lol now xdude knows your deck and strategy?

[Bloodshadow]

I've already pretty much decided what deck I'm gonna play, but I'm not stupid so obviously I'm not posting it here. Gl1tch, you might have just caused my downfall.

[Scaredgirl]

Just tell me when and/or where did she say it. I know it said applicants, but that means if I get defeated, then I can't ever become a Master again. Don't get me wrong, I'm not whining about this.

- Current Masters didn't have to have upgraded decks (because this thing is new).
- First challengers don't have to have fully upgraded deck (because this thing is still new).
- Second challengers have to have fully upgraded decks (because Master program is not new anymore and having upgraded cards it shows that they really want the job and are willing to work for it).

Earthquakes are Earth.

I expect Earth to win. EQs lock down practically anything except for itself, Pullverizer (upped) with Gravitymark is also great, or those Graboids and Shriekers for when the enemy doesn't have any worthwhile permanents to add lots of force... Stoneskin does pretty nice healing, Titanium/Diamond shield is the most powerful typical one, BB lets you stop the enemies for longer than freeze, forming efficient control, with Auburn Nymphs (if you have any) being a reusable source of those...

Currently Earth is simply the most versatile element. Or so.

Gravity is also powerful with ignoring shields and Otyughs, bashing Aether with its also powerful stalling and Life and such with their small creatures, but lacks healing aside from Black Holes that really suck against other Monos and permanent control, Aether cannot be stopped by conventional means and stalls highly but lacks pretty much everything or other, Light can do its Miracles to have like 650 HP, and of course nobody disallowed SoDs in there and by this time it can deploy enough to beat the enemy even with boredom (and those Holy Lights that are useless unless against Death/Darkness... poor BS)... and Air can just deploy much Gas like it was Ass and OHKO anything without SoDs or spells reflection if it can stall to this point and no one breaks them.

The italicized section is all one sentence...  But since he's not from the US, I'll let it slide. 

Anyway, I'll root for the underdog here. C'mon Blood! 

[icybraker]

Must be a fully upgraded deck?! Then not only me but Icy will have to drop out as well. That is, if we lose to those who challenge us. Icy said he has no upgraded cards at all.

It's a lie! Half my deck is upgraded now!

[Wardead]

During in Elements, (ive been playing it for 3 months, but didnt know about the forum) ive found that the elements are good in different ways. They can be very unpredictable... I thought Fire would win Water...and to my surprise it didnt......

I have a feeling that Blood will win, or lose in a close counter. Darkness is one of the most toughest elements in the game, and so as light. Miracle will be tough for blood..But i will support Darkness anyways, ME EVIL
