CHAOTIC SCORPIONS: TIME TO ROCK T50

Breakdown:This deck is pretty self-explanatory. You get your scorpions out with chaos powers. Then you strike hard with tons of poison. If you're in a little trouble, the bone wall/plague combo can keep you alive for some time. Soul catchers are used to get those bone walls out even faster. Against T50, these duels are short and sweet, and can be entertaining too. It doesn't get overly monotonous, but this is a rush, it's supposed to be (:D)

Weaknesses:
Sundials: This deck needs to stack up those poisons/ not being able to attack isn't good
Unstable Gas: They're really obnoxious and because this deck doesn't help with getting life back, you will lose if five of these buggers come out... (side note: You can still win against a deck with unstable gases, it's just tougher.)
Life Rushes: These decks are definitely the most annoying. If anything, I would suggest you plague them early and have your bone walls out. Unfortunately you should probably expect a loss if you come facing one of these.

Hey is there an easy way to get elemental masteries with this deck Shrink? Well of course! Play an early bone wall and you should be set for the game. With the low card count you'll probably pick the other bone wall up before the first 7 shields are down!

The reason I did two sets of 50 is because T50 is pretty unbalanced compared to AI3. T50 always has changing decks while AI3 is set.

I just want to note that the two Soul Catchers can be swapped out with Ivory Dragons (The cost stays the same upped which is a plus). I had noticed times where I was left with around 50  :death at the end of match and that's my reasoning for why it's possible to swap these out.

OKAY ralouf1 (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=9687)! Depending on whether or not you want an attack bonus with chaos powers or just straight poison, unstoppable's may be used as a swap. Here's what it would look like:

I have not tested this deck for Silver League at all, but I think it would need to be slightly modified to handle it.

If your only use for :entropy is the chaos powers, I'd suggest changing the pendulums to bone towers and make the mark Entropy.
I once saw a really fast deck that did the same thing but with Unstoppables.
Try to keep it simple. Whenever I make a complicated deck it never works very well. Much simpler to use 5 bonewalls than the combination (and waiting) of Plague, Afla, and Bonewall. Then I'd suggest filling the empty spaces with Animate Weapons, maybe another Arsenic or two.

This one is very nice! Really nice to poison so fast and still get a shield up. I have no more suggestions, looks good.

The main attacker is Deathstalker, it can't do anything without Chaos Power.

Because this takes a few turns, you need to create a "stall" situation to gather cards up. bone walls / although expensive can help.

...

Remove aflantoxin, it's a negative in your deck:

-Costs too much to set up
-if your opponent gets a full set of malignant cells it can take down a bone wall very easily

...

Focus more on deathstalkers: by making it a pure deathstalker/CP type deck.

see how that speeds things up.

If you want to speed up the bone walls being played try putting soul catchers instead of the graveyard and aflatoxin.

Take the suggestion camoninja suggested, mark of entropy and keep everything else towards death.

But I highly recommend working with 6 deathstalkers/6 CP to speed things up, work around that type of deck.
Thanks that was extremely helpful. I like how you quoted something I didn't say haha

That's a "snipped" out quote of your original deck.

If you're going to post any statistics, I highly recommend reading up and following jmdt's ttw study (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,21865.0.html). It's basically uniform way to let everyone know how you did.

50 games to start, or if you're feeling "enthusiastic" record 200 games and check your stats that way.

However, there isn't a "good" way to statistically do the T50 (at least not yet), since the decks changes every so often, plus the amount of farms that could be in play. Still take it at around 50 games.

The deck looks a lot stream lined! How was it compared to your old deck?
It's much faster, and extremely quick. Thanks for the advice. But yea I will check that out. I remove the farms from my stats to a different section for that reason alone.

See now that's not a terrible idea because phase shields are pretty annoying against this deck, BUT Chaos Powers also give a huge boost in health. So, there have been times when all of my deathstalkers have a (1/8) goin. They can survive two rains of fire! You could try it out with the unstoppable's. The strategy is still the same.
