Arena Deck Help

[ninjaclone09]

I have been VERY unlucky with the oracle, like, VERY unlucky. And I've never made an arena deck before. Since the AI is going to use the deck, I should make a rush deck. But sometimes it's just too hard. Right now I have to use 5 fog shields, and I think that many fog shields in one rush deck is a too many. Also I'm not very good with air decks. Help me please?

So don't make a rush deck.  Fog Shield is a stall card.  Who says Arena decks have to be rushes?

Life mark, Dragonflies and Mitosis, one or two Sky Blitzes, and Owl's Eye if you have it.  The AI won't be super strategic with that, but it'll be powerful enough to get you some electrum.  Whatever points you have should be put into 2x Mark first, then HP.

Yeah, fog shield is a tough one to think of a really good deck for(got that once myself as part of a run of 3 different types of shields on 3 consecutive days) but I'll agree that it would be better to make a stall rather than rush for that one.  You might also try doing something with Air/Entropy and using Antimatters, butterfly effect etc.  Of course, if you get a card like this that you don't have any good ideas for, keep in mind you can always skip that day and leave your existing deck up one more day as well unless it's already several days old and/or not doing well.

5x Fog Shield
2x Mark of Air,
11x Light Pendulum
5x Pegasus
5x Blessing
2x Sky Blitz
2x Owl's eye
2x Crusader

Not the greatest of decks, but workable?

Maybe add a Miracle or 2?

Mmkay heres 2 decks i've tried out in trainer:

Code: [Select]

5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5c9 5c9 5c9 5c9 5c9 5c9 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5og 5og 5og 5og 5og 5ok 5ok 5ok 5ok 5ok 5ok 5op 5op
I tried this on some level 3s and it didn't work very well.

Code: [Select]

5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5lb 5lb 5lb 5lb 5lb 5lf 5lf 5lf 5lf 5lf 5ll 5ll 5oc 5oc 5oc 5og 5og 5og 5og 5og 5op 5op 7k2 7k2
I had better luck with this one, but still didn't do very well, and got really sad when I won a titan on the spin while I was using the trainer



Anyways, I don't think the cpus would do much better than I did, even with the boosts, if I couldn't beat some level 3's with these decks.

Tomorrow my card will change and I will tell you guys. Thanks, you're all helping a lot

I don't have any arena decks yet so I can wait as long as I want

[Aves]

Well, good luck!
Oh, I knew we forgot something! No creature control. Shockwaves might've helped, if you don't have an owl's eye.

Didn't fog shield count as creature control?

Anyways, we didn't have any permanent control so that kinda stunk.

My new card is: lycanthrope! i could probably make a dark/entropy deck.

[ninjaclone09]

And btw, my arena deck level is only like lvl 5. Long story, don't ask.

[Aves]

If you're not doing anything to the creature (lobo, reverse time, damage, stall, freeze, etc) it's not creature control. Fog shield only prevents damage. shockwave/owl's eye is more proactive on that.

Anyways- lycan. Nice! Need help, or are you happy with it as it is?

I've been testing around a little with a Grabbow that has 5x Fog Shield in it. The Deck works better than expected and the hand isn't that often cluttered with useless Shields.

The one big plus this deck has is, that you will nearly always get an early Fog Shield out, helping you to survive a little longer, often just enough the counter the loss of other usefull cards.

It is recomended to not use the 2x Draw for your arena deck, since the AI would have its hand cluttered too fast. But since your Arena level is only 5, that isn't a concern. For you, I'd suggest to just go with 5x Health increase, since a few upgraded cards won't make a big difference.

Good luck with it ^^
