16 creatures!  Wow.  I like this.  I never really thought about those antlions before.  I have a new goal now for my upgraded earth/time deck.  Good thing I've been upgrading my pillars first for the most part.

I know with the 18/6/6 deck, you can win pretty consistently in 6-7 turns.  I bet this deck would push it down to 5-6 turns.

Only problem now is those annoying sundials and phase shields (in PvP).  But as soon as they end, you'll be walloping them with some serious damage.  Too bad you can't use Pulverizer . . .

Now this one is pretty similar to others, but mines different.  This is more PvP based, but it's works perfectly fine for AI.  Also, no grief about this not being mono because it has a different mark.  Mono is determined by the cards, not the mark.  I don't see any other cards than Earth... do you?

Okay, this deck can even be faster than the other speed decks.  Elite Antlions are great.  It only costs 2 earth and you get 4... repeat.. 4 damage!!!  A graboid does 12 damage in two turns for 4 quantams total.  An Elite Antlion does 8 damage, in two turns, for a total of 4 quantams.  A shrieker does 10 damage for a total of 8 quantams.  That means for the cost of one Shrieker you can have 16 damage from Elite Antlions or 24 damage from a graboid.  A graboid however takes a turn to activate.  All of these cards can be buried, so Bone Walls aren't a problem.  Creature effects aren't really a problem either.  You can easily do 20+ damage by turn 2.  I personally like this deck better than the other variant.


Disclaimer:  Everyone's going to have a slightly different win %.  Don't bother coming to me after 1 game and saying you have a win % of 0.  Skillgannon is not responsible for your bad playing.  If you don't know how to think a little before you click a mouse, then just leave.

No Earthquakes for pvp?  Taking out somebody's starting towers can really ruin someones day.

This is a speed deck. Only towers and damage needed. All other cards will only slow you down.

Lol just beat FQ (FG) with this deck (mistakenly clicked level 6 instead of top 50 (Somehow) >.>

I am definitely envious of the  earth players--the antlion upgrades are unreal in a cost for damage comparison.  Plus they have burrow--that kind of versatility puts them at or above the level of Giant Frogs  (a card that's widely underestimated IMHO.)   This deck looks great!

Could I see a non-upgraded version of this deck please? I like the idea, thanks.

Try this (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,1190.0.html#post_earth).

I tried with and without the earthquakes (non upgraded version of the deck) and I actually prefer with them. Yes, they do slow you down, but they slow down the opponent a lot more, which greatly increases you winning chances (at least they did for me).
