Duo Life-Light Deck vs. t50/higher levels

[Naesala]

I've yet to physically create the deck, so here's the planned cards:
Life Mark
Light Pendulum x20/20
Crusader x4
Forest Scorpion x6
Rustler x6
Blessing x5
Mitosis x2
Adrenaline x5
Heal x2
Sanctuary x3
Empathic Bond x3
Druidic Staff x1
Thorn Carapace x1

My strategy is to stall and mass poison on the opponent, hopefully getting elemental mastery due to healing from various sources. The only startegy I'm good with is stalling and I tend to lose with rush decks. I want to beat higher level opponents, if not false gods, so I can make decent electrum. Any advice would be appreciated.

One weapon in such a big deck is pretty much useless, add more copies or shrink the deck down.

Okay... so your deck looks something like

And... frankly it looks like you're putting in way too much stuff. You can go with Adrena+staff+saders or scorp+bless+adrena, but both seems like it's taxing your draws too much. The amount of healing it has (3 bonds, staff, saders, heals, 3 sanctuaries) isn't fast enough to prevent death.

I'd either keep only 1 of the damage sources mentioned above, or cut everything by half. Either way, reduce it to around 40 cards. Also, adding a miracle, if possible, would help.

Tbh, your deck is too big for not having something that speeds up draws... reduce reduce reduce! :S

[Naesala]

Thanks for posting an image of the deck for me Aves. I knew People would say reduce... I'll drop the crusaders and 4~5 pendulums? A miracle will depend on if I can win or spin one. Should I reduce the number of rustlers, or keep it the same? What else is good to cut?Thank you again.

[Aves]

Okay, so if you're going to remove the crusaders... then I suggest:
-4 crusaders
- 8 light pendulums (without the crusaders, you'll need way less light quanta)
-3 rustlers (very vulnerable, and when 1 can do the function of all of them you don't need 6. Also, they clog up your deck, reducing the chance of a good draw)
-2 Adrenaline- Adrenaline is a bonus, but it's not completely vital to your strategy.
With my modificiations, it looks like this.

However, it looks like it's still too slow and vulnerable.

[Naesala]

WHat about, after those changes, adding a few frogs, cheaply mass spawned by mitosis for low cost and benefit empathic bond. Adrenalined they could also deal decent damage. Heck, I could also include a luminessance card and swap shield to hope, and maybe drop a couple blessings. I don't want to change the deck feel to much, but would that work, do you think?

[Aves]

That could work. However, there's still a problem that hasn't been solved; bad draws. More cards=greater chance of bad draws/not getting a pillar out. Have you taken a look at QI? (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,5676.0.html)
Edit:
Also, try actually building and testing the deck in the trainer (http://www.elementsthegame.com/trainer)

T50 isn't exist any more.

[Naesala]

thanks for those links and that information: I'm used to playing elements on Kongregate and haven't played in about a month. I'm unsure how you're supposed to use the QI with pendulums but perhaps it's later in the guide and I don't have time atm, I will read more later. Your point is I need pore pendulums in the deck? or less? I think you're saying more. Or possibly youre just saying slim more. Sorry, rambling. Anyways, Thank you again. I've been thinking on this deck a lot, I like it and would love to get it working.
