[Arena] Showing max hp and deck decay in a duel https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=30313.msg385092#msg385092

Currently, a decayed deck at start of the duel is shown as at full health - 1/1 (fully green).

My suggestion is that it might be shown as (for ex.) - 1/120 (mostly black), where 120 is max hp it had.

I don't agree, because of the use of yellow color in damage bar, this could lead to misunderstading. Despite this, I agree with your proposal of making evident how many hp a deck has, but in a different way, the bar should be divided in 4 part:
yellow = damage you do in this turn
green = life remaining after your turn
black = life lost in previous turns, it can be recovered with heal or similar
grey = life lost due to deck age, it can be recovered only increasing your deck max hp (with SoD & SS)

I particularly like that suggestion.

during the intro screen it tells you how many days old the deck is, so you should be able to do the math.

Due to grindy nature of the game I click through it as fast as possible.

I am against this suggestion.  It makes it more confusing, and is harder to tell how much damage you need to do to be able to win.  As the intro screen tells you the age of the deck and HP, you should easily be able to do the math if you really wanted to know.  Also, for you people that click through that screen as fast as you can, you are missing out on important info about the deck that may help you to play more successfully against that deck.  Unless you play a lot of bronze or silver where its pretty easy no matter which deck.  But even then...

As an alternate suggestion, perhaps a rollover over the life of deck that shows max/current hp just as it has for creatures.  Also, since like Elehean I tend to go through too quickly, a rollover showing decks current ranking as well would be nice.  I generally don't care what level it is until the point where I am about to win. :)
