Arena deck for Fireflies (Level 9) https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=29470.msg375607#msg375607

Oracle gave me Fireflies. My starter deck and hence most of my cards in this alternate account are Light so that's a good fit. I'm very new at deck-building, inspired to learn by Arena. I need a lot of help. Comments, please!!!

If you'd invest in x2 Mark Power, I think you can slash the wind pillars and dragonflies. You'd need Lv. 10 at least, which isn't too hard if you can grind a little at AI 3.

Remove Solar Shield and Holy Lights, put in a couple dragons, one or two more Blessing, maybe another Sactuary, and maybe a few light pillars if you need them. The best way to find out is to try your deck in the Arena practice and see how it does.

needs 4 more cards to qualify for Arena
If something happens and you think it deserves my attention, feel free to PM me. Other than that, I'm probably here if you want to shoot the breeze.

Thanks, this is a big help. I implemented all the suggestions in the second paragraph and it's already performing much better when I test it. Now I'm going to go grind my way to Level 10 and do your first suggestion. (And then I'm going to study the changes hard to understand the whys and wherefores, so I can learn it for myself!)

Thanks!

Edit: Well, I'm a moron! I'm not Level 9, I'm level 5! Transcription error or brain fart, lol! I guess I won't be grinding to Level 10 quite yet.

It really doesn't take that lon to get to level ten. I got to level ten in  a couple of hours from level 1 by grinding ai3 with a graboid/shrieker rush.

Considering the fireflies, you might be able to remove a couple light pillars and replace them with blessings.  Pegasus with blessing is a good combo.

1 Short Sword --------> Owl's Eye if you can
9 Light Pillar -----------> -1
4 Pegasus
2 Holy Light -----------> Light Dragons
1 Solar Shield ---------> Hope (?)
2 Blessing
3 Sanctuary
1 Light Pendulum ----> -1
5 Wind Pillar ----------> +2
2 Dragonfly
6 Firefly
---------------------------> +1 or 2 Air Blitz!!!

Mark: Air

I hope this works... I'm not so good at building... :P

Here's one of the top decks that was used in the last tourny. The main weakness is CC since it uses combos to make for a stupidly fast and hard-hitting deck.

Games are usually 6-8 turns. You still have 5 extra card slots. I'd recommend adding at least 2-3 more Pendulums to keep that ~67% chance of drawing 3 Pendulums in your opening hand. Then I'd suggest adding Shockwaves or Blessings in the last 2-3 slots.



7 turn win against AI3 despite Discord.

Dragoon, that looks awesomesauce! Although my deck has already dropped below 500, I will study it and test it to learn from it.
