rainbow dev Drain life deck (still working on it) https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=4980.msg49661#msg49661
« on: April 07, 2010, 09:44:00 am »
hey guys im new to the forums but i have been playing elements for a few months now and i need help on this silly deck idea



ok so my idea behind this deck is to shut down quanta and using drain or a fire fall to finish them off

its working ok for lv1-3's but i haven't tried it on 1/2blood or top50
cuss atm its really lacking in alot of areas and i really don't know what i can add / take away to make this deck work better


[(Update) so atfer playing this deck for a bit i took out the 2 anti's and the flow of the deck seems alot better]

so any idea that would help o.o please do tell :) thnx

4 Devourers are not enough to 'shut down quanta' And you can't rely on Fractals to help you out as even though your mark is aether.

While I can appreciate what you're going for, it feels like too much is going on.  For example, the Devourers and Sparks contradict each other.  In the long run, just four Devourers and four Sparks are useless (they don't do enough).  In order for either of these to be effective, you need to fractal them; but due to quantum production, you'll probably have to pick one.  Do you want to kill them with sparks, or drain them with Devourers?  You can't do both at once.  Further, if you intend to just Immolate a Spark, then you have to wait until you have both cards in your hand, since the Spark only survives for the turn it was played--individually they are just dead weight.  Even if you Immolate all four sparks, you've only gained 28 fire quanta, so your fire bolts will only do 9 damage, maybe 12 or 15 if your QTs have made some extra fire, but you're certainly not going to kill someone off.  If you Immolate Devourers, you're gaining fire quanta at the cost of your draining strategy.

You're being 50% effective in three different deck strategies.  I'd try to focus more by using a speed deck: Fire (Fire Bolt them to death), Darkness (Devs drain their quantum, Vamps drain their life/heal you), Aether (Dim Shields to stall, Lobo for creature control, Twin Universe and Fractal to make an army).
