A Reasonable Target: Farming Silver League Completely Unupped

[Essence]

Currently on a stupidly long 21-game winning streak with this incredibly unlikely deck:

Demons and Antimatter for CC, some generic rainbow control, and Vampires With Buffs to keep myself alive.  I have literally no idea why it's working, I'm assuming I'm just getting really lucky because this deck looks like complete garbage.

I'm not having that much luck with that deck, Essence, but thanks for the idea.

Essence, are most of the decks you are facing in silver rainbows?

[Essence]

It's about 40% rainbows, actually.  I was surprised -- there's a lot more rainbows in Gold than in Silver IMX. YMMV, of course.  With 500 decks to select between, it wouldn't be at all surprising for two people to have two very different experiences over any given day or even week of playing.

Unupped fire stall has been winning decently for me lately.  Lots of low-HP critters sitting around Silver.

I use PCYB with very little success...

To the people saying that posting decks will make counter decks appear everywhere, you forget that in any game there's actually a minority that reads the forums and even a large portion of those that do don't care enough to change anything.
So I think posting decks is mostly harmless.

Posting decks is not harmless.
Are you forgetting about BL? The lack of restriction makes it similar to Silver League, and everyone in BL has a forum account. And in BL, they can use your own deck against you.

Anyways, from my experience, a properly balanced unupped firestall will do well. I've also had success with a mono entropy. But I won't post these codes, of course.

and thats the difference between bl and arena.

I found Rastafla used a mono-gravity with very good result in platinum.
So why not an unupped one?Chargers+Dragons+BH's.

Unupped chargers and dragons are lame.

They don't have the damage potential to speed past the rushes, and don't have much damage to beat the stalls.

In that case use accelerated armagio's.
