Any tips for me? https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=1291.msg12166#msg12166

Trio decks are tricky.  Plus you're actually trying to use 5 elements.  I'd say either go more rainbow or limit yourself to 3 elements (2 would give you even more consistency).  If you wanted a trio deck, maybe you can go for a Scarab deck with Time/Light/Gravity.  Maybe something like Scarabs, Blessings, Light and Time Pillars, and maybe a few more support cards from Light and Time; use a Gravity Mark.  Or, you could possibly take a Time mark and go with Gravity and Light cards since Scarabs are so cheap to play.  If you go with a rainbow deck, try getting low cost cards from each element and just use a bunch of Quantum Pillars and Novas to fuel them instead of individual elemental pillars.

PS: There's no almighty deck.  The game is pretty balanced.  Every deck has a counter deck.

just a single reply? eh, better than none.

Thank ya, I'll try some things out.
I suggest you take a screenshot of that deck of yours. Pictures are easier to read than text, and you will get more replies.

I've been playing this for a short while now.  I knew coming in that there were going to be almighty decks that can beat anything and such.  I wanted to avoid that and play with what I get.  Ive been doing that, and boy is it rough, but its working.
Now, I wish to see if I can be guided slightly, just to see what will get thrown out.

Current W/L: 120ish/100ish
Element: Time
Deck:  Tri-ele, Time/Light/Dark, 60c

thanks to Jelly for the pic ^^;  agreed on picture > wallotext

Phew ok yeah that is probably a messy deck, but it works.  I play risky in every game I play, this included.  A few things bout this.  I wanted Miracles in, very lightly supported element due to it.  I use the heck out of the Hourglasses, hence why I use a full 60.  I try to use Scarabs to the limit, usually works but as i play risky, i may not ever get the right quantums in to do so, same with Anubis.  I wanted Steals in so again, lightly supported element, moreso than Light though.  Sparks fill in the gap and possibly provide scarab fodder.  This deck plays with what its drawn; speeddraw, miracle, or devouring.

I seem to do well against most opponents, luck permitting, but usually get wrecked by Time, Air, and poison decks no matter what.  T50/PVP/Gods wreck me due to no upgrades.  I havent bought many cards at all, main ones being scarabs and light pillars.  At times i cycle in photons and more sparks, and extra darkness cards of those listed.  This setup works best though.

Any tips for my deck or where i should go now?  I actually love how this deck works and would like to keep its spirit, but if any tweaks can be done, throw em out.  A number of coin and excess cards to sell so willing to try things.  And again, yes I know my deck is all over the place, but I love it.

Let's try to clean up that deck by removing unnecessary cards.

Get rid of: Spark, Golden Dragon, Procrastination, and the Darkness cards. You really don't need Darkness cards in that deck as they don't combo with your Scarab/Time focus.

If you really want a three color deck, try adding Air or Death cards to it. For Air, use Firefly Queen and Thunderstorm, or for Death, use Boneyard and Bone Wall. Those will help your Scarabs much more than random non-combo cards.

Firefly Queen in a Scarab deck makes it at least four element types, as both queen and scarabs are dual-element creatures.
He does have Quantum Pillars and Novas in there to make use of the Queen. But it does not make it a four color deck. Just as creature abilities don't make a mono deck of just air a "duo-deck", adding that to his two other colors doesn't make it a quad-deck. But it does make it rainbow abilities with scarabs, which is why he has novas and quantums in there.

I find it strange you took time to criticize someone giving him advice, but offered him no advice yourself. ;)

I made a pretty good Time/Light/Dark deck that you can use if you'd like, not the same idea, but the same elements. XD

Two things.  The premise isn't near what I am trying to do, and those are all upgraded... yeah i can just downgrade them but seeing all those shiny cards makes me sad.  I'm ALMOST about to get my FIRST upgraded card...

Well I did half of what you said, sparks and golden dragon are gone.  I would like to keep a shield, and darkness seems to work.  I do not wish to use air, though death seems like it could work well.
This is my current setup.

Still Time mark, ~190W/~160L, still very luck of the draw, and I love it that way.

Question though, once I hit enough coin, what should be the first upgrade? With my choices, it seems upping just one would be a complete waste... but with it taking THIS long to get so much...
