i dont understand what is wrong with this deck, and how i can improve it.
every time that i play, i run out of cards and lose.
i cant even beat level 3 ai.

i want a basic rainbow deck, that will later be able to kill some FG
any help?

[omegareaper7]

take out 1 hourglass, and add in 4-7 pillars, that should help a bit.

oh , sorry, i didnt copy that currect, this is the right deck :

i must add, that i dont have any upgraded card besides 1 water tower, i have few pharot rares, but thats it.
i have 3 weapons (the air, the dark, and the aether weapons)
ill take out 1 hourglass, but whats more?
as i said, i cant beat with this deck even the level 3 ai....

[omegareaper7]

that type of deck shouldn't really be used for level 3s, way to slow, can win but it takes far to long.
i would go minus 1 hourglass +1 sundial and fallen elf and maybe miracle if you have one.

+1 eternity (Time weapon) is must here, so you don't deck out.

absolutely agreed!

If you follow the tips above, you will end pretty much here: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,1615.0.html

the problems of your current deck, imho:

- lack of punch - otys and ffq are not enough damage output before you will deck out
- even if you manage to survive, decking out is probably a big topic...id go for 45-50 cards to prevent this.
- not enough long time defense - you might setup a good defense with rain of fire/otys and bone wall...but staying alive until then, relying on a single dim shield and the sundials is pretty hard...i used 2-3 dim shields as i started vs. FGs
- 1 quint is not enough for a control deck like this. you rely on keeping your key creatures, so you often need to protect them.

And of course, mentioned before: This deck is really slow, but it can establish a good control. Not a good choice for AI3, but well if you want to use it there...have fun!

well, i changed it to be exactly the same without the upgrades
(i also got the weapon by farming t50 with the awesome fire-earth deck)

but how does the weapon will make my deck to last longer?
i mean, the problem was that i run out of cards before i killed the opponent..

Read the card ability.

"Sends a target creature to the top of your deck".

Target a skeleton, and rewind it.

You had 0 cards on deck. Now you have 1.

Next Turn : You draw the skellie again. Rewind it again and so on.. so on.. so on..

[valley]

yes, i got it now.
i did 5 games vs FG, i won the last.
i got 125 gold for win, and i lost about the same.   no new cards.
the all thing took me more than 20 mins i think.
its too hard without upgrades, i think.
im going back to my old decks, till ill get stronger.
or is it a better rainbow deck to farm the FG?

[Dm]

That's the best deck with un-upped cards to farm FG's.

There is essence's Duo FG killer, but it uses Titans.

by the way, i understand that first i have to upgrade the hourglass (already upgraded 2), but i do have some shards.
should i upgrade them and add them?
i also have red nimp if thats help..

[Dm]

Shards wouldn't do good in this deck because we already have Empathic Bonds to protect you. (The empathic bond will heal you by a lot late game)
