Howdy! Thanks everyone for your input --

My original point was -- how can I make a sweet deck from what I have. That said, I dropped the mutate theme, bought some aboms and more drags and am pretty much L3 grinding with big creatures. Here's what I went to:



Luckily, now I'm starting to get some cash and cards to change it up a bit later. My deck only loses like once every so often when a deck manages to drop a dusk, fog or delay and they have enough out that my dissipation shield falls off (or I don't get one :P)

Howdy!

I've been playing around for a week now, and just now realized there was a forum! go figure. So, here's what deck I'm using and the cards I have right now.. if someone could help me be better, it'd be awesome. Right now I can beat Level 2's pretty consistently with my deck. I toyed with a boneyard/virus/mutate/poison deck where I'd use viruses to kill creatures and multiple boneyards to make lotsa dudes, but overall as soon as they busted out any kind of shield, I had no chance, unless I drew most of my mutates and beat them down w/ poisons enough to win. The deck below usually works great (it's kind of like the speed entropy decks on here) but the proton->mutate is usually pretty powerful.



Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Oh, I'm entropy Marked, too.

EDIT#2: Wow, Miracle completely ruins my deck :P

If anyting, sometime's I'm shorter... and with Dissipation shield saving my ass on a regular basis, I don't mind having extra.

The first thing I can see is that you really don't need the novas or quantum pillars. All your other cards are mono-entropy. You'll find if you strip out those, you'll have more room for useful cards like more chaos seeds or purple dragons
Did you see his theme? It's mutation. And when he upgrades those cards, it will be improved mutation. He'll need a variety of different quanta to use the abilities from mutated creatures. Did you forget about that?
Supernovas are better for purpose because they are more reliable (you will get 2 of each element) and you won't need very much quantum. In a deck like this I would never take Quantum Towers over Supernovas.

Daxx is right, you have too many pillars. "Having extra" is a bad idea.

If you are using this to grind L3 then you need to drop both of those Dissipation Shield's. You do not need any defensive cards to beat L3 and every defensive card you take makes your deck slower.

If you switched those Shields to Dragons, the amount of Pillars would make more sense and your deck would be more effective.

Most people who PVP (in my experience) don't have the best decks. Most people with decent decks spend their time grinding the CPU because it's faster.
I've noticed this too. I normally don't see many people with scores higher than 3k in PvP. And many of them have rather terrible win/loss ratios and crappy decks. I almost feel guilty slaughtering them. >.<

I agree with SG... and maybe drop those chaos seeds too? You don't really need creature control if you're trying to kill your opponent ASAP... at least, in my opinion  ;)

Nowadays I find myself need 1-3 more turns to win vs. false gods, and I've even added cards to last long enough... doh.
The decks you've shown so far are not effective against false gods. It is limited to being successful in Level 3 matches and possibly casual PvP if you're playing others with Level 3 oriented decks.

I switched to SG's False God deck, with some weapon additions (Pulverizer).
Grats. :)

For my general enjoyment of the game, I've swapped decks to make things a bit faster, so now I have two win conditions (woohoo) and a little control! I don't do too badly in PvP, and I can grind the AI3's if I want to also. Now I just gotta figure out what to do next... I've been just gathering cards and cash, and (because I'm not selling) I've got tons of various cards and over 1500 monies... but I don't know what cards to upgrade because I don't intend to stick with the deck I'm using forever :X

Thoughts? (I do have several rare weapons and at least 1 of most cards atm.)

For fun, here's my deck now:
