T50 - and I counted. It was 22 losses in a row versus top 50 before I finally won a game. (Let's see that cost 330 coins, one fifth of an upgraded card ... nice.) I expect strings of losses againts FG's, but when you buy an unupped deck someone claims works well against top50 and promptly lose 22 games, you start to reconsider your strategy.
Interesting... hmmmm... like i said was playing around with the speed unupped earth deck (16 pillars, 2 short swords, 6 shriek, 6 grabs) and i won a few games lost a couple. Just seemed better then the aether/poison deck i made (14 pillers, 6 poison, 2 dragons, 6 immortals, 6 dim, 2 PU's, 2 lightning) which through 20 games i was 8-12 (so 40%).
the losses were mostly the rainbow decks with the bonewall(s)+6 sundial+phase shield(s)+fire shield(s)+fireball(s)+elite otyughs that held me off long enough for them to get out the unbeatable creature combos. Then there were all the speed decks I faced. If they have towers and you don't, their speed decks will beat you almost every time.
With the earth deck you really need to make sure you keep your creatures burrowed if they have anything that can kill them. Unupped the earth deck is very susceptible against rain of fire. A lot of times i have to count my dmg to make sure i can finish them in one turn. Haven't seen any decks with fire shield though. With speed decks.. well yeah it's gonna be tough to handle. The aether deck i used worked much better vs life decks because you can stall for a little bit. It's just tough to get enough dmg out in time.
And no, I'm not an idiot with regards to choices of card play. (I say this before somebody jumps in here like in the other threads and says it must be something you are doing wrong.) To be honest with the speed decks I tried, there's not much card choice in the matter for that to be an issue. I rarely lose against level 5 with my rainbow deck and I get enough FG wins to almost break even so I'd say I know when to play what cards and how to use them. If it weren't for wanting some green shards, I'd just stay in the FG's level 5 areas and take my chances there.
Yeah some decks are pretty much auto-pilot but there still are little things that if you don't do will make a huge difference. Personally i can't play PuppyChows deck for crap without modding it. Also the "exploding the rainbow" deck by Wu Li Mammoth i am absolutely horrible with. These decks do work though. Sometimes its just knowing how many cards are left in a deck and what they might have and if they can play it.
Anyhow i usually end up playing late at night as well so late Saturday night/Sunday early morning) i will put up a squid/SoG farm. I'm usually not around at all on Sunday's to play so it should be up all day and i'll make sure to put it back up whenever i'm done playing. I'm almost at perm T50 status so you should see me around a bit in there. Good luck and play around in the trainer.
And a tip for the trainer, if you want weapons click the "all quest" button then click on Quest and you'll get to pick your weapon. And to get more just rinse and repeat.
