Help turn my L3 Farm deck into L5 farm deck.

[NinjaMonkee]

Im looking for an un-upgraded Lv5 farmer based on my lvl 3 deck (Adrenalin Frogs).

During my lvl 3 farming I picked up an owls eye and I already have a druid staff so im going to go for a duo life/air deck and use firefly queens (adrenalin fireflies) and flying adrenalin druid staff. I think im going to have to up the deck size for it though as I need more defense and air mana. Any tips on making this deck more powerful would be appreciated. Currently my problem is not getting queens out quick enough and dieing before the damage is done or the empathic bonds start to kick in with the fireflies.

My Lvl 3 Farming Deck:
Its not exactly how it was, I rebuilt it in trainer, but you get the idea.

Current Deck:

This works fine with no upgrades.  Basically play the beatsticks, Heal to stay alive, use Steal to keep his shields down, and choose carefully whether it'll be better to use Liquid Shadow to remove an annoying enemy creature's skill (I hate Paradox!) or to put on a dragon to help you regain 60 life over 6 turns.

It wins pretty good against Level 5. 

Good luck!

I'm not sure why you're showing two decks.  If I understand correctly, you're looking for help on the second one.  Since your problem is staying alive long enough to get healing from fireflies, consider switching from thorn carapace to the other life shield, though your only control will then be the owl's eye.

I haven't tried the deck but some of the things you're doing seem theoretically flawed to me.  For instance, I think I'd get rid of the rustlers.  They'll add a crapload of life quantum late game but you won't use it, pillars would help more early game, and they're less likely to die.  I'd consider getting rid of the flying weapon as well.  I get what you're trying to do but it's tough to get all three cards in hand.

But if we get rid of both the rustlers and the flying weapon for the staff, why have adrenalines at all?  Adrenaline essentially adds +5 to attacking fireflies and +4 (I think) to the dragon, and you'd almost be better served having frogs, cockatrices or more fireflies in the deck to contribute to the bond.  Meh.

what about putting emerld pillars out,& rutlers+ fire queens in?

a firefly with adrenalin is just great and it gives alot of white mana for the rustlers

Thats pretty much what im going for. Fireflys are the same as frogs for damage, so adrenaline works the same with a bonus of light generation.  im still doing some testing but i think im getting close to a nice deck now.

You could try something like that. I haven't tried it out, so could use a little bit of tweaking with the ratio of each of the cards.

Possibly replace a (or both) Fog Shield(s) with a Carapace Shield(s). Maybe replace a Rustler with your Druidic Staff (and add in a Flying Weapon instead of a shield).

[Nesola]

allright i´ve tried it out now :-P
(not exactly the same but ists near.)

it works but if there is a lobotomizer or a Otyugh or some other creature-controle it is deadly...

so maybe making it 45 cards taking in aether with quintessence (and dimensionshield?) and some fireflys for a faster Start... then its probably worth taking in some empathic bonds

but then its not realy farming anymore i guess :-P

[Iblis]

You'll probably find taking Aether with you will make your deck a lot less stable - three elements is pretty hard to balance right.

Just remember when you come to upgrading that upgraded Firefly Queens generate Elite Fireflies, who give you Fire Quanta instead of Light Quanta, so you don't want to upgrade those Queens. Instead I'd go for your pillars first to get those Queens out quicker.

Whats about this one?

I never thought of putting light cards in. duh! ill take a look at adding a couple i think.

Heres my current deck.

Code: [Select]

5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bv 5bv 5c3 5c4 5c5 5c6 5c6 5c6 5c7 5c7 5c7 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oj 5oj 5oj 5ok 5ok 5ok 5ok 5ol

[Nesola]

allright, so no light cards (hope is awsome with fireflys!^^)

i would make it more queens (=

[Iblis]

I didn't think of adding Hope, but it's a very good idea. With all of those Fireflies you'll never take damage. Certainly add that instead of your Thorn Carapace.

I think you should take out 1 Firefly and add in a Firefly Queen instead, but I suppose you'll know better with testing it.

Personally, I think you should do away with all of the Life Pillars and replace them with some Rustlers and some Wind Pillars. I think that would help you get more Life Quanta quicker and be a little more stable.
