Mono-Light Deck for AI3 Farming--Looking for Improvement Tips https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=22399.msg284358#msg284358

So here is my deck:
Code: [Select]
5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5l8 5la 5la 5la 5lb 5lb 5lb 5lb 5lb 5lf 5lf 5lf 5lf 5lf 5lf 5lh 5li 61p 61p 7jr
I am mainly just looking for any and all tips on how to improve my deck for farming AI3 opponents. This deck does not win every time, which I would definitely prefer (obviously).  Every once in a while, i end up in need of light quantums at the beginning of the game, but not every time.  Any and all tips will be greatly appreciated!!

AI3 DECKS LOST TO:
Air (firefly queens and their fireflies stacked up damage on me)
Water (steam machines stacked up damage on me)
Time 2 (stacked with quantum pillars)
Aether (Dimensional Shields were a big problem)
Death (the opponent had approximately 12 skeletons by the end of the match, with 12 poison on me because of their weapon -- Arsenic)
Earth (the basilisk blood froze my only pegasus in play, and earthquakes removed all light pillars of mine from play)

The thing I've noticed about AI3 is that nearly all the decks are very heavy on controlling the field, especially the Gravity/Earthquake Stoneskin elder (oh, how I hate him!)

The thing your deck lacks is staying power... maybe make this more of a Duo, and stick in 4-5 Air Pillars to keep your Pegasuses always Diving, and stick in a couple of Owl's Eyes if you have them. Another option is Sanctuary... if you're running Light, why not take advantage of the poor man's Shard of Gratitude?

You can also use Dragonflies for your Quantum generation... it's a 1|1 creature. Since you're already vulnerable to Creature Control, a few more creatures aren't going to hurt. But, mainly, an air Duo is going to give you access to Sky Blitz and Wings (only airborne creatures hit you).

I love Light, but it's shields are extremely situational and kind of sucky in a mono deck except that Solar Shield is decent. Hope needs Light-generating creatures and Reflective shield is only good against Unstable Gas or Firebolt decks.

If you're going Mono Light, Light has some of the best unupped Dragons in the game, Golden Dragons. They're amazing and have 10 HP so they're not glass cannons that are going to die at the first Shockwave or Lightning Bolt. There's worst things you could do than adding a few of more of those to your deck.

But right now you have 3 Blessings that you're only going to use on Pegasus. Anyway, check this out: http://elementswiki.co.cc/basics/building-your-first-deck/#light

Anyway, I hope that helped a little. Good luck!
