Hello all,

This is my first post.  I'm super new to this game and could use some help.  With my current deck I can easily defeat Lvl. 3's with very few losses.  I have a really hard time defeating anyone from the Top50 and cannot come close to defeating Half-Blood.  I need some tips so I can try to spin for some better cards to eventually build a False God deck.  Any help would be much appreciated.  Thank you in advance :-)

A simple frog adrenaline rush could beat T50.

I don't have the money to upgrade so many creatures/buffs.  Is it worth it to just spend a lifetime farming Lvl. 3 for cash til I can upgrade, or would I be better off building a new deck? And if so, what would you suggest I build?

I'm also pretty new, but I asked the same question a while back and was told that mono-life decks aren't the best choice against T50 and level 5.  Here's the thread if you're interested:

For killing Top 50, remember that a lot of them use rainbow decks and a lot use RoL-Hope. 
A Thorn Carapace/Fire Shield could really help with RoL-Hope; but you would have to be careful that it doesn't get stolen in your other matches.  Your Deflagrations should help with the rainbows' permanents, and hurt them somewhat.

Since you can beat AI3 so easily, I would suggest grinding them until you have around 1000 electrum or so so that you can buy a new deck/some sort of unupgraded FG killer (this is what I used, scaredgirl's unupped deck: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,1615.0.html (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,1615.0.html)) then if you have 500 electrum or so you can repeatedly farm the false gods.  That way you can eventually earn enough money to upgrade your deck.  But farming T50s and half-bloods is potentially more fun than false gods. It's your choice.

Since you're new like me, you might not know about the trainer: elementsthegame.com/trainer (http://elementsthegame.com/trainer). You can test changes to your deck before you actually make a purchase.

Thank you! That's all extremely helpful!  The thing I was curious about with Scaredgirl's rainbow deck is where to find the druid, hourglass, and eternity.  Are those only from spinning? Other than that I've begun purchasing other cards for the deck and have about half of them...

You can buy the druid and the hourglasses unupgraded at the bazaar; the druid is instead called "Fallen Elf" and is found with the  cards, while the hourglasses are found in the  section, and are called "Golden Hourglasses" when unupgraded.  Unfortunately, the Eternity card is a rare weapon and can only be won from either spinning or from the Oracle.  If you can farm T50 successfully, you should get the card eventually; many T50 players either use it or are nice enough to place 6 copies of it in their decks so that you, the player, may earn a copy with a little luck.  Scaredgirl's deck works okay when unupgraded, so you can hopefully earn an upgraded card from spinning after defeating a FG and sell it to earn money.  Unfortunately, you desperately need the Eternity so you can Rewind your own creatures, or else you WILL deck out.

Remember that if you don't need a card, it's probably a good idea to sell it (unless it's a rare.)  You can always buy it later if you have to.  The quick money now is usually more useful than the cards in the future.

Again, everything you've said is extremely helpful and I really appreciate it.  You know more about this game than you think.  If you don't mind I'm gonna add you as a friend or whatever it is in these forums.  You kick a$$
