First day on the grind...

[bripod]

So, after grinding away at AI3 for a month with my beloved  deck, I finally have enough to put together a bare bones RoL/Hope deck. Now, up to this point my win % was hovering just around 90% and that was acceptable to me... I had amassed almost 600 cards and had ~700 .
It didn't take long to figure out that I wasn't going to see 90% wins slugging it out with FG's... and it only took me another game or two to see that I was going to have to up this deck to get anywhere near the break even point... being strapped for cash sux...

*** If you have a weak stomach please feel free to skip this next section ***
So, after much deliberation and a beer, I did it... I sold off a freakin' buttload of cards and upped some of my RoL/Hope deck.... as the cards came rolling in, I sold all non-rares like a madman... and then, all at once, a calm fell over me. There she was, upgraded almost to the max...
Currently this is how she looks:

As you can see, I'm shy one Lobo/Electro so I threw in the SoG for luck... it's actually helped me out once or twice...

By the end of the night (actually it was more like early this morning...) I looked at the numbers and found some justification for my evil doings... yes, I still feel the emptiness when I look at my vault... but IRL there are no Reverse Times to play...



I'm interested in some feedback on my grind. Any direction would be most helpful.

I did happen to grab a few screens along the way...

Ok, so I was bored and now I'm hungry... later...

In upped RoL/Hope, you rarely need 12 pillars/pends. I would take out 2, or take out 3 and add an SoG.

Nice... I would use an RoL/Hope deck if I wasn't so in love with my Liquid Antimatter , but good job, and happy hunting!

This is what im running, if you dont have the nymph, just run a miracle instead, works almost as well.

Would the upped aether pendy/pillars be necessary? Or would it still work fine with them unupped?

[bripod]

The upped quanta sources REALLY help this deck out... although, I did win several without the upgrade.

This was my starting point: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,28905.0.html (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,28905.0.html)

as time goes by you can do some upgrading... 

Hope this helps you out as much as it has me! Happy grinding!
