Hello Element's Community,

When I first started the game I deleted my account, (after getting hang of the game) each time to try the diffrent Elements. Why? Simply becuase I don't know which is going to do me good! :-\. I found the Wiki for Elements and tried to build some of the starter decks such as Time, (which by the way is my current Element). In the end I just couldn't be bothred to finish building once I got some parts of the starter decks done. Finally deciding to go with the flow I, chose Time :time and then built a deck to counter and annoy my friends considering I use some of thier Element cards. One uses Gravity, the other uses Aether. Here's my deck:
Code: [Select]
4sa 4sa 4sa 4t4 55k 55k 55k 55k 55o 55q 55q 55v 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rh 5rh 5ri 5rj 5rk 5rk 5rl 5rl 5rm 5rm 5rn 5rn 5rr 61o 61o 61o 61o 61r 61r 61sOk my problem is that I want to know, How good is this deck against high level AI's and/or PvP's? (Yes I know, I'm a noob ;))

I'd make the deck more centered and take out the "Other" and Aether cards.

(Ps : "Centered" as in, 30 card and based around certain critters. It just seems too random.)

Agreed, and then you should take out the Anubis and possibly Deja vu as well.  Since you're using Gravity anyway, I'd say replace them with Scarabs and Pharaohs(if you can get a hold of a couple) or maybe dune scorpions and a couple more momentums.  Also you might consider replacing some of the pillars with pendulums.

Well, the more DIFFERENT KIND of pillars/pendulums you have, the more chances of having a bad draw, and those quantum pillars just seem of little use to power only one fate egg (which IMO, is out of place).

You also have few attack power. When I started I remember wanting to do decks that could counter everything (I still want to), but the painful truth is that you can't :( you should go for one simple strategy (like spamming vanilla creatures like giant frogs and cockactrices), or if you wan't something different, you could try some fun-ish grinding decks (like deja vu's+momentum+adrenaline), but they're less effective if you want to earn some electrum or score.

I know that I should have one simple strategy and a centered deck, but I mean it kinda gets boring. I wanted something random and to see if i could mix up my deck to be useful in diffrent ways. I just get a bit bored of the same strategy. No offence to anyone intended. Sure its nice to have the feeling of winning but with the same cards over and over again?

Thanks I will try to use those tips though.

Well, if you like it that way and having fun with it...just keep it ;)

But concerning this question:

How good is this deck against high level AI's and/or PvP's?
Expect some losses against AI3, maybe some wins with good draws, but not THAT many. Expect long duels.

Anything higher then AI3 will crush this deck almost any time.

You will loose in PvP most of the time, cause the decks you will face will be much faster and much more focussed...

While there are a few exceptions, most good decks will do one thing and do it very well.  The best way to counter boredom with this is probably going to be working towards having several different decks, each using a different strategy, different elements etc.  Might be a bit difficult to do this when you're first starting out but once you get at least one deck that can beat false gods consistantly, keep in mind that winning a single upgraded card from spins will allow you to buy cards for a full unupgraded deck or almost enough to upgrade one card(unless of course the card you won is itself useful and you decide to just keep that).  It takes a good bit of grinding out AI3 and Top50 to get to that point so might be a bit boring early on but once you do get to that point, that is where the real fun begins. 

  Also take advantage of the oracle.  Aside from the occasional free cards(especially nymphs) and electrum, the best part is the false god predictions.  Many FG's can be beaten even by a completely unupgraded deck IF you know which one is coming, so this makes a great way to get some upped cards early on.  Once you know what you'll be facing, check the Opponents » False Gods » Strategy section for the god predicted for some ideas on decks specifically designed to beat them.  Again, many of these include decks with no upgraded cards and few if any rares.

A good idea is to work on one deck until it's done, get enough money to make another then build another one (not selling anything) that way you can have more than 1 deck ready to play. Then you can play a different deck every game. If you want fun, it comes as a cost. You just have to get the boring bit done and out of the way before you can start using loads of different decks.

PS: Try not to delete your account too many times...
