Death-Life ....advise needed https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=3257.msg28183#msg28183

Hi; I'm new on this game and I've started building my personal deck.

Here below my cards:
6xQuantum pillar
6xBone pillar
4xEmerald pillar
1xDagger
1xBone dragon
4xVirus
3xVulture
2xBoneyard
1xPlague
1xBone Wall
2xAflatoxin
2xRustler
2xEmerald shield (maybe 1 could be enough)
2xEmpatic bond
1xSteal (to avoid letting other thief steal my best cards xD)
2xNightfall (Improving my minion's strength allow to avoid enemy shield)

My strategy is quite simple: tons of  minion, thanks to Empatic bond (better if two), assure constant healing waiting for the enemy to die.
I could use aflatoxin on myself (quite dangerous: wrong card and an enemy shield...) or use onto opponent's creatures (Emerald shield will protect me).

I've only a few big problem:
a) if enemy use a fire shield, 8/10 I'm out.
b) Otyugh sometimes has the same effect of fire shield
c) Often some crucial card arrive too late
d) That deck is really slow.....faster one's spawn big creatures (like dragon) before empatic bond + tons of minion could provide me enough health....

Have you some useful suggestion ?
Thanks in advance.

P.s. excuse me if text is a little bit hard to read but I'm still not really skilled in English  :-[.

Your quantum pillars are just sitting there doing nothing, taking them out will speed up this deck quite a bit. :P

Take out your Darkness Cards.

Are your Life cards really neccesary? The only outstanding card I see there are the Empathic Bonds. I would take out all the Life cards, also.

Build the deck seen here:

It's faster than it looks and quite efficient at farming Level 3's.

A dark life deck is best with adrenaline, because frogs and flesh spiders both have three attack.

Darkness cards is here only because often my strongest card were stolen and used against me or because my army of minion were stopped by the smallest shield....

Emerald shield comes in handy when I use Aflatoxin against my enemy (I could use a skull shield but..that wouldn't speed the deck)

Rustler...yes, maybe I should remove them xD.

Quantum pillar, I admit, is here only to provide me darkness.

Removing Darkness card plus Quantum pillar could really makes Deck faster but....how could I manage to win against who use shield, steal my crucial card (like boneyard or empatic bond) ecc... ?


Are you suggesting me to change the side element (life) ?


P.S. I read the description of 'Adrenaline" but....how it works ?

Description of Adrenaline. It's a very interesting card :P

Right now, you are using a three-colored deck with three different kinds of pillars. A deck with 3 different kinds of pillars is often slow and unwieldy. Go with 2 kinds of pillars and a different Mark to fuel some cards (called "Splashing) or simply eliminate one of your elements.

Your darkness cards help you, but they still slow you down; the same applies for your life cards. Getting rid of all of them, then using that extra cash to make a new deck, would help you.
