Looking for a Gold/Platinum Arena Grinder https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=37216.msg467011#msg467011

Hello. I am looking for a good Gold/Platinum Arena Grinder. I am currently using this deck:

Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
6rq 6rq 6rq 6rq 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 74g 7ap 7n9 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q5 7q5 7q5 7q5 7q6 7q9 7q9 7q9 7q9 7q9 7q9 8pj


It works great for FG Farming, but I am getting hammered in the Arena. Cruising the Forums I found a few strategies that interest me. I like the idea of a 500HP EM Deck. I am also interested in a deck that helps gain large amounts of Special Spins.

Thanks

I dunno, Instosis gets me quite good results in Gold/Plat. You could try SPlat or something though.

It could just be the day. Yesterday I didn't have much trouble using my current deck. Today, for some reason, I am running into PC left and right.

Could also be arena adapting. Arena is very much like evolution, so if there's plenty of sundials that kill off the decks without PC, the decks with PC will remain. Just wait a while until it reverts to being not much PC or try another deck like SPlat.

That is what I thought. Need to get some Shards of Divinity then. I have the SoSA.

Tested SPlat a few times and I love it. How do you think it could work with Black Hole or Miracle in the mix?

If you want miracle in the mix you'll have to use a  :light mark + blessing instead of  :gravity & U/S. Actually this is quite an effective deck in plat, but miracle does not improve it.  miracle generally becomes useful later in game, by which time you will almost certainly have been forced to plays SoSas, which will cripple your ability to build enough  :light to play miracle.

The  :light / blessing version of Splat is usually one turn slower to play your first neurotoxin, but this is compensated by increased value of SoD's.  Overall (and a little surprisingly) I have tended to find that  :light Splat has been working better for me than  :gravity Splat.

I haven't tried BH in Splat, but I imagine that its negative interaction with SoSa (IE BH causes you damage rather than healing) combined with the importance in Splat to keep the deck small so that you can be confident to draw the cards you need when you need them will make BH, like miracle, more of a detriment than a benefit.
The only thing of which I am certain is that I am certain of nothing

No black hole isnt detrimental you play it like your sods, between SoSas. I woudn't add it though, doesnt fit the strategy well and too costly.

Yes of course, as you say, you would play it between SoSa.  I meant it would be detrimental because it is vital with Splat to make sure that (1) you get your first toxin out quickly and (2) you have to play a shard at least every 3 turns average.  Both these require that the deck is small to give good probability of having the right cards you need at the right time.  If deck is unnecessarily bloated it will wreck your chances of playing the combo correctly.
