Decks clean-up : Mono-Decks

[Gyrodiot]

Clean-up of the Mono Decks, part 2 ! We have to merge the remaining decks into several articles, each of them focusing on a precise strategy. Some of the decks below are alone in their category, some aren't.

Once the strategies will be determined, we'll build a reference deck for each one, and write a small article around it (we'll have time to develop them later).

For now, let's list the different strategies (I like this word) and group the articles.

Here's the list of the current decks.
1- Adrenaline Scorpion (http://elementswiki.co.cc/decks/adrenaline-scorpion/) Merged and deleted

(Old) phase 1 :
I made a little table, so we can keep track of our thoughts.

Delete	*insert numbers here*
Rework	*insert numbers here*
Keep	*insert numbers here*

Copy-paste the code below :

Code: [Select]

[table]
[tr]
[td][b]Delete[/b][/td]
[td]*insert numbers here*[/td]

[td][b]Keep[/b][/td]
[td]*insert numbers here*[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]
Delete if the deck is clearly poor-made, unbalanced, outdated, or without focus. "PvP decks" aren't supposed to be here, as their power depends on the situation, and as our only way to test the efficiency of a deck is PvE.

Keep if the deck is well-built and documented.

Rework everything else.
Thanks for your help !

[chum3]

Just a note about the mono deck section: for the future, it'd be nice to see them standardized in terms of name. To that I mean something simple, like "(insert element) Fancy Pants Name for Deck", since some of these decks don't say what their mono element is (e.g., "(Air) Super Dive!"). Plus, it'll neatly & alphabetically sort all the mono decks.

EDIT: More on topic, decks 16, 41, and 48 aren't mono, so at the very least, their label can be changed to "Duo" and be dealt with later.

[suxerz]

Here is my suggestion for the mono-decks.

Delete	1, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 20, 24, 27, 32, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 48
Rework	2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 26, 28, 29, 30, 31, 33, 34, 36, 37, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47

*Those with ^# have the same concept and it's fairly common. I'm not sure how, but can we combined them together and create a good written article with all the variation?
¹ = Mono aether with dim shield chain
² = Graboid rush
³ = Devourer denial with vamp/gargoyle.

Write on article with the most "standard" version of the deck, and then make a new paragraph/section on the same page that talks about different variations you can do (some other cards you can add, some you can take out, etc.). I'd agree that there isn't a point in having multiple pages for pretty much the same deck.

Also, I'm pretty sure spawn isn't jmizzle. I think that a lot of the deck articles on the new wiki came from the old one, and spawn was the person who copy-pasted the old ones onto the new wiki without editing the posts.

[Gyrodiot]

I fully agree with the idea of creating an article by "main focus", with a deck and its variations.

Apart from it, for Mono Decks we can simply create a category ("Mono Darkness", etc.) for each element. Same goes with Duo (each deck having two categories). For 3+ elements, we'll see.

Thanks suxerz for your suggestion, I'll add mine sometime today. Done, here it is :

I agree mostly with your suggestion. Some thoughts :
- We could make a list of the main Mono strategies (Graboid Rush, Aether Stall, Life Rush, Vampire Rush, Devourer Denial, and other ones) ;
- The separation between  Vampire Rush and Devourer Denial isn't very clear, to say the least ;
- I'll wait for a third advice to start deleting stuff ;
- How about picking the decks of the Deck Archive as basis for the new synthesized articles ?

[grindpower]

Also, I'm pretty sure spawn isn't jmizzle. I think that a lot of the deck articles on the new wiki came from the old one, and spawn was the person who copy-pasted the old ones onto the new wiki without editing the posts.

You are correct, half the articles on this new wiki came from the old one. Spawn was just adding them onto the new one.


On a side note: People seem to be saying my articles can be improved, so okay then I will improve them! : D

[funplay]

Just to toss something in the ring:

i really liked the way, how the shakars revenge deck build advice was made...supplying a core build and then offering several options. Maybe the merging of some deck ideas might work out i a similar manner?

Otherwise: keep up the great work!

Decks 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 20, 21, 27, 34, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 48 have been successfully removed !

The remaining 30 decks now have to be merged into several posts, dedicated to each strategy. We can already group some of them :

Mono Life Rush : 1, 35Mono Graboid Rush : 7, 13, 19, 43, 44Mono Darkness : 11, 18, 22, 25, 28, 33Mono Aether Stall : 2, 3, 5, 32

The ones can be merged into a single article. The main focus of the decks are not specifically quanta denial, even including 6 Devourers... or so I understood.

Feel free to post your suggestions This part is a critical one, as we basically have to list all the Mono strategies of the decks we have... and our work will serve as basis to all the other Mono Decks.

Here's the first article of the long, long series that will come about Deckbuilding :

The Life Rush ! (http://elementswiki.co.cc/decks/life-rush/)

I choosed this structure :

A quick introduction of the strategy and its main focus ;A reference base deck, its TTW and strategy guide ;Same for a reference upgraded deck ;A general analysis on strengths and weaknesses of the strategy, and how to counter it ;Variations on the deck, with optional TTW and strategy guide.

This can be adapted for anti-FG decks, with guidelines for each opponent, etc.

Feel free to post any ideas This first article may serve as basis for all the other strategies. Thanks !

That's a good start for a base article. Just keep things simple and concise.

I'm not sure where, but maybe linking the decks that are well documented to their respective forum link would be good, too. If anyone is interested, they can look at the feedback that was given and maybe even see what other people have done with it.

Also, for the unupgraded life rush, I'd put some pendulums for pillars. I think I've seen some people throw in an Emerald Dragon or a Nymph (if they have one), so you can list that for variations.

[Gyrodiot]

Article updated, with Pendulums, a link and some variations. I didn't add the Nymph Variation yet, as I have no idea what it's worth.

I didn't find any other Life Rush than jmdt's one in the Deck Archive. There was a Flying Staves deck, but that's another strategy.

Also, what will happen to the decks 1 & 35 ? As all their content has been merged into a single article, they're now redundant.

The next article on the list may be Aether Stall... a more complicated one.
