Suggestions for card upgrades?

[Ephesar]

Hey Folks!

I´m planing to upgrade a few cards. At the moment I could upgrade 40 cards, but I don´t know if I will do so all at the same time.
I have roughly 1300 Cards. Luckily I own 6 copies of all rare weapons and rare creatures like the arctic squid, but only 14 Nymphs.
I could buy missing copies of common cards for a specific deck.
I´m undecided about what to do. I like decks where I have choices to make (e.g. what enemy creauture should I reverse with eternity), not so much decks that almost play themselves (e.g. green rush with upgraded frogs, cockatrices(?)) although I´m sure that the latter will earn more wins  .

If anyone would like to share their thoughts I would be delighted!

Thanks,

Ephesar

P.S.: Oh, I already have upgraded 6 copies of all the "old" shards (divinitiy, gratitude, readiness). I sadly don´t own any of the new ones.
And I have upgraded 6 animated weapons, 3 shrieks, 2 pulverizers, 1 diamond shield. I know, some bad choices for first upgrades...

P.P.S.: I tried to check out the forum for similiar threads, but I didn´t manage to find something fitting. If that´s due to my incometence please lead me to the relevant thread. Thanks!

I lol at the "only 14 nymphs". I only have 1 nymph and I have no idea how you managed to get 14 and stay poor enough to have that little upped cards. How long have you been playing and visiting the oracle every day?

Since you already have 6 shards of readiness, I suggest you build Instosis. It is a false god farmer and will get you lots more money to up other cards. In addition, it uses supernovas and hourglasses, which can be easily re-used in other decks, especially rainbows.

I think the best type of deck you will enjoy is a rainbow that uses shard of serendipidy. It has lots of randomness and fun, but of course, you need the shards.

Hey zhangvict!

Thanks for your answer!

I will definitely look into that link!

As to my maybe unusual state concerning cards, money, rares and upgrades:

Often I log in once a day, go to the oracle, play three games with the bonus critter, see if I can make the false god hint into something worthy.
Obviously there are other days where I play alot of games, e.g. while I´m one the phone or waiting for something.
My "poor" ratio might have something to do with the fact that I like to give "themed" decks a try. Those are often not the most successful but I like the fun 
At the moment I´m playing around with a deck consisting of 6 flying druidic staffs on adrenaline.
Also, the element I picked when I started was earth and although I love playing earth/gravity combos, I fear this also is not the strongest colour you can pick (now all the earth/gravity lovers will bash me  .

Nonetheless, thanks for your advice!

Maybe someone else has another suggestion?

Greetz,

I see you ninja me, but i'll still post this.

14 Nymphs "only"? Wow.
Like zhangvict said, if you have money, then go make Instosis. If you want more versatility, i suggest you up 6 SNs. They can go anywhere.
If you want more control and fun, while also being able to grind efficiently, then go Wrecking Ball or Monodark. Search in the forum for the decks.

Building instosis would be the fastest way to make money. Instosis also contains Supernovas. You should upgrade supernovas since they are extremely flexible. After that, you might want to up some good speedbow cards like recluse, lava golem, QTs, entropy pendulums, and others.

I also suggest supernovas/instosis.  Other than that, I don't know your playing style, but quantum towers are very useful, especially if your upgrading along with snovas.  Other "good" upgraded cards are chaos power, hourglass, and archangel, just to name 3 of my favorites.  Again, it all depends on your playstyle.  If you like earth/gravity, maybe up a shrieker rush? (Graboids are also useful upgrades).
