I'm thinking of using the following rules:
-The only thing that can be bought from the bazaar are pendulums and pillars. This is just to make it possible to ever use something other than the starter element, which would probably never be able to happen otherwise due to how hard it is to spin the things.
-Selling cards to the bazaar is unrestricted.
-Upgrading cards is allowed, as it isn't part of the bazaar, and restricting it would effectively cut off getting past the unupped stage.
-No idling for long periods of time while spinning the oracle just to amass cards. You must play at least ten games on any day you spin the oracle.
-Starter element must be chosen by RNG.
-No arranged pvp1/pvp2 duels (i.e. no farming). Random pvp1/pvp2 and arranged pvp duel are fine.
-End goal of one or more of the following, depending on what I feel like at the time - some arbitrary score, effective PvP1 deck, (relatively) effective FG farmer, (relatively) effective PvP2 deck.
Any thoughts?

I like that definition of "won the game" quite a bit. I was planning on going for a bronze farmer as pretty much my first goal apart from ai3, as I find bronze significantly more fun than ai3 in general, and it's not like the electrum rewards are an issue. Also, being able to essentially pick a rare in rarespins is going to be very valuable.

RNG gave me air. Could be worse, could be better. I'm currently attempting to conquer pvp1 without having won anything besides a wings from oracle.

Seeing how I'm spamming chat up talking about this, I figured I might as well bump it and list my updates to the rules.
-RNG'ing starting element is required.
-No spinning oracle on days where you don't play at least ten games.
-No playing arranged pvp1/pvp2 matches (i.e. no farming). Random pvp1/pvp2 is fine, as is arranged pvp duel.
Also, since I appear to have lost my old account, I started a new one. Currently rocking ai3 with a pretty craptastic random earth/life duo.

Legends say the aetherfish is an ancient, ancient, ancient creature living at unfathomable depths. That one of its drooping, sunken and indifferent eyes can see through all of eternity and that it would be omniscient...
...if it wasn't a fish.
Guess what Element I spun?

Mothaeffin' :aetherbig
(actually kinda sucks for this challenge due to 4 Sparks, but who cares)
(http://elementscommunity.org/tools/deck/cache/z24sa4t3z34vc4ve4vh4vi4vj4vkzB61oz361pz361qz261rz161s61t61v8pu.jpg)
The ancient aetherfish begins this challenge by removing 3 Sparks and 4 Amethyst Pillars from the terrible Aether starter deck. It then changes mark to Entropy. The only reason it keeps one Spark is for the Mutation.
(http://i.imgur.com/6e6WnV3.png)
The aetherfish is slow on quanta and offense, but once it manages to gather its tiny brain for a second, it does still hold the unbelievable, completely 100% unmatched power of Aether. Here it can be seen utterly vaporizing AI0's Gargoyle with the legendary, thunderous, awesome, invincible and unavoidably lethal :aether Lightning :aether.
You better stay the hell back.
The aetherfish won, of course. It sells one Amethyst Pillar and buys one Aether Pillar, mostly because it can. Oh, this is a bazaar-less challenge? Aetherfish doesn't care. It doesn't even know that it's allowed to do that, but it thinks it's a rebel. Incidentally, this finishes two quests for the aetherfish. It bubbles on.
To level 1 AI.
(http://i.imgur.com/aJowqMD.png)
The aetherfish manages the combo it was totally planning on pulling off (totally), and early in a game no less! The feeble AI1 stands no chance despite its powerful early Skull Shield. Or so the aetherfish hopes. Or whatever it feels that's closest to hope.
(http://i.imgur.com/N47WSd4.png)
Sweet plankton! EM! But the aetherfish has yet to win a single card after TWO whole duels. But the aetherfish is well known for its courage, in its own little head anyway, and so it forges on with a smirk that tells a story. A story of a fish who thinks he's being watched by the whole world, and therefore has to act cool.
Nananananananana Nananananananana Aetherfiiiiiiish~
Aetherfish meets a very fat man. He is given a Psion and is told he has the chance to face Hecate. Aetherfish doesn't understand. Takes the Psion and blubs on.

So the mighty Unbaz was created. It turns out entropy is quite playable thanks to mutation.

Sold the vulture from the starter deck for one of the quests and I didn't feel the need to buy it back. Not that I am allowed to.

Looks like we're starting with this.
Plenty of CC at least, looks like a stallish deck. Slimmed it down a tad by removing 4 of each pillar, 1 purify and 1 pegasus.
:water turns out to be quite difficult to manage, what with the low to no attack creatures... Managed to get the dragon out in the nick of time in half of the fights, so it wasn't too bad. Selling the pegasus turned out to be a mistake though.
Decided to run 10 turns per day, ended with 7:3 and spun a friggin' fire pillar. Hopefully day 2 will be better.

Went to my home IRC to roll, for good luck. It gave me my lucky number- sadly, that was its own betrayal. Still, learning more of :entropy cant hurt!
ChaoticEvil the Entropy Elemental is born! Thus named for the alignment of my favorite DnD Character, a Neutral Evil Rogue that ended up catching Lycanthropy (as an act of mercy from the DM- he kept getting dropped to -0 by random encounters), and imediately wiped half the party in a reminder that he was well built, just had crap rolls :P

Timebow! Without the hourglasses... I wonder how you're supposed to do this challenge without a rainbow!
AI3 dropping one by one. :P Clearly, this deck was not created through sheer deckbuilding skill but rather a culmination of lucky spins and a Lobotomizer from the Oracle. Plus, the real win-rate against AI3 is probably very low, but as of this post I've gone 4-0 so whatever.
I began to note some interesting things, for what I like to call "slow elements", that this challenge has taught me: 1. An early Fate Egg or Lobotmizer is usually GG against AI3, 2. AI2 can be beaten down by a single second-turn Quinted dragon (and an Anubis beforehand, and some small critters thereafter), 3. Deja Vus (and to a lesser degree actual tanks like Anubis) are great scouts for tanking all the CC that would be in an enemy's hand before playing your important but fragile creatures.

Alright, in-game element list gives me :light LIGHT as #5 element. Here we go!
New user-name: rob77dp_NBC
Which I immediately revised to:
We'll see how this goes!
Notes: I forgot how "neat" it can feel to be able to even use the "ALL" cards category/button! :o
It directed me to play a Level 0 for first quest - alright, so I did.
I EM'd first match with this new account! :o
Followed by a sell/buy (per "rules" can only buy pill/pend - I bought a Light Pendulum) for Quests then Level 1 duel - 7 TTW Peggy-rush ensued! Missed an EM by 3 HP!
Followed promptly by a 10 turn loss to AI2 which somehow spammed an organized looking mess!
Next came L3 like this:
Loss 1 - 3rd turn Skull shield which kills 4|9 angel on second attack with 5th turn Bone Dragon = gg.
Loss 2 - 3rd turn Skull shield kills 10|10 dragon on FIRST attack with 5th and 7th turn Bone Dragons = gg.
Loss 3 - 4th turn Ice Shield which freezes 5 of first 5 attackers and AI somehow spams 7 attackers in the game too.
Seriously? When did AI2 get promoted to RNG's project manager?!? :o
Finally defeated AI2 on my 4th try - fighting through SIX AI CC cards played in the first SIX turns of the game! Are you kidding?!

My wonderfully creatively named "CGs No Bazaar Challenge" account (which RNG'd earth as a starting element, btw) is currently 21-9. I think this is the first time AI3 has been challenging to me since around 2009 - it's honestly a really wonderful change of pace. The fire/water elder is currently just about my least favorite thing on the planet (mostly because screw ice shield) but the rest of them seem more likely to be a win than a loss.
Currently running an earth/life duo:
21 wins, 9 losses, as I said before, and 238 score/554 electrum at the moment. Rapidly approaching both a rare weapon and an upgrade. The spins have been pretty much trolling me for the last couple days, though there's been a couple useful items. Getting an extra earth dragon from the oracle on day one was really quite wonderful, but nothing else overly useful has come besides some empathic bonds of limited utility. However, the random stuff I'm spinning is getting me closer to feeling like building a QPbow.
Full non-quanta collection right now:

I am Nightblade. Or at least, that's what I call myself. I awoke one day with nothing but black and gray clothing and a single knife, under only stars and smoke, so I am Nightblade.
For many moons, I have travelled. I have witnessed many things in many corners of the world. Indeed, I believed there was nothing I hadn't seen before, until today. Today, I discovered a warehouse. It was dark and dusty with the feel of abandonment. There was nothing of note in it except a single purple light.
Light is my enemy. I tread safely under the covers of night. But this light was an exception. It suggested a certain nature that made me feel comfortable. And so I approached it. The light became a portal, and I had no purpose and no fear. I secured my knife and entered it.
I found myself in a similar room, with the purple light replaced with a yellow one. I moved away from it, and found a gleaming purple box upon the ground. I opened it to find a small deck of cards. They were not standard, but closer to tarots. Fittingly, they were dark, and they depicted figures.
Another thing was in the box. A notebook was there. I flipped through it, and all the pages were empty, except the first two. The first page noted the book was magic - certainly something I could understand. The second told me to find the Trainers. A small diagram showed these to be robots.
Apart from this, the box had only four pieces of metal and dust. I took the metal and closed the box. Leaving the room, I did indeed find the Trainers. They were dormant, so I touched one, and it awoke. It showed PULL OUT DECK. I did as much, and the deck shuffled itself. The Trainer instructed DRAW SEVEN, so I did. And then it said YOU FIRST.
I realized this was a card game, and these Trainers were capable of simulating it. I was aware of basic logic, and so I learned my deck quickly. It seemed as though my deck was unoptimized, but so were the Trainers'. There were five of them in this hallway, and I played the first one. It was defeated.
I found it gave me one more piece of metal, and it displayed the words CHECK BOOK. I did, and it said 'Good job defeating a Trainer. Here's 10 electrum.' Ten more pieces of metal appeared, so these were clearly called electrum. It then told me that I could have a deck anywhere from 30 to 60 cards, and I should make my deck smaller. I did so.
I defeated another Trainer, intending to save the rest for later. I learned that not losing HP meant the Trainers would give me more electrum, as this one gave me two when it failed to damage me.
[dd's note: I have no patience to figure out how to work buying and selling cards into my plot when I'm never going to do it again, most likely, but this is where I did so. I just sold a Quantum Tower.]
I opened the notebook again, and it granted me more electrum. It also informed me that the next hallway had better robots, called Randoms. I defeated one, and left four more. Ignoring these, I once more opened the notebook. It again granted electrum, and told me the next hallway would have non-robot opponents called Normals. I was not afraid, so I continued forward.
The first Normal was an odd blob, hovering above the ground. It had actually cards, and clearly a better deck, but I still defeated it. It fell to the ground. By this time, the process of opening the notebook had become standard, and I did so again. It gave me more electrum, and showed me the number 14. It told me I needed to get the number to 150. I needed to defeat more enemies to reach that, so I would.
But not now. The teleportation had taken toll on me, and I wished to rest. So I sat on the ground, a safe distance from the Normals, and rested.

Summary for Day I: 14 score, 4-0, 158 :electrum
I found myself asleep, and I awoke again to find myself in the same place I had sat down. My deck was still present, as were the normals. I stood, and faced them once more.
The second one after waking almost defeated me. But I stood strong, and I was victorious. It dropped a card, so I picked it up. It was a Chaos Seed, which was not currently useful to me. Regardless, I kept it for the future.
I defeated six more, earning the card Deja Vu. before one Normal finally bested me. I noted I lost electrum in this situation, as opposed to gaining it. Unphased, I defeated one more, and the urge to check my notebook arose. I did so, seeing my score was 68 out of the needed 150. I turned the page, and a room opened off the side of this hallway. I entered it.
There was a large statue on a pedestal besides a golden wheel. I walked up, and the wheel began spinning. It stopped, giving me a new card and a decent amount of electrum. It also gave me a slip of paper, with the word ELIDNIS. I assumed this would be relevant one day, but right now it was not.
The new card was a Devonian Dragon. It was, like the previous two, not useful at this time, but I saved it for future use as well.
The statue, to my surprise, pointed to the ground, and a path was set. I followed it, and I discovered an Arena, where I could temporarily duplicate my cards and submit them to another world, presumably to be played by others. There was a large amount of machinery in this room.
[dd's note: Here I bought 6 pendulums, but again, working them into the plot when I'm going to be using the bazaar so rarely doing this so rarely is still something I'm too lazy to do.]
I put something together, realizing I had the ability to change certain things, and allowed it to manifest in this Arena. Following this, I again rested.

Post by: eljoemo on January 16, 2014, 11:59:56 pm
I've decided to run as close to 20 battles a day as I can. After Day 1, Horny_Frog has 87 Score, 18 wins and 2losses, 295 :electrum and 45 Cards (26 non pillar/pend). This day was spent mostly in AI1&2. I attempted AI3 but lost to the air-light duo and so gave up for today.

Water started REALLY lacks offence, at least in direct power from creature attack values (seriously, 4 creatures with 6 total attack, and an ice dragon). At least I got 2 photons, so that's some additional attack value (using photons for attack value, fuck yeah). Still, I decided to put my chrysaora to use (not much else to do), and it's working quite well, probably because of the stalling power I have in all the CC cards (and 4 ice bolts are nice when you finish most games with 40 excess quanta).
The dictators starter deck mod
Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
Now that I have won 50 games against AI 2 (and lost a few as well), I will be switching to a death duo with some pendulums and flesh spiders I won. Didn't get a single water card from spins so far, but I got purify from oracle :/
Looking at the AI decks made me realize why I probably haven't gotten any cards from AI 2: 3 out of the 4 decks with water in the deck, also pack purify :(.
Since we were discussing it in chat, I made a list of all the cards used in the AI 2 decks found here (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/random-normal-and-elder/all-ai2-decks-(new)/). The number in the title gives the amount of decks using cards of said element (out of 12 total).

rng decided to give me aether :( lets see what i can do.
As has already been seen the aether starter is this
which i immediately changed to this
after my first ten games after the ai0 game this is what i have so far
after realizing i had far too much quanta in my original deck i changed to this
after the second ten games where i got soundly trounced by the ai i converted my entro pillars to aether pends as per rule so i now have this with a second chaos seed won from the ai7 wins and 3 losses later i have ended up with a bone wall from oracle and a titanium shield from a spin and hating aether starter for having to rely mainly on puing something.
as of now i will only update before i log out each day.
final update of day 1:
(http://i.imgur.com/OJ5Lvc5.png) (http://imgur.com/OJ5Lvc5)
I had to share a particularly nice field i got this came from a simple mutant spark
after several games later i realised that the dagger wasn't helping me much so i removed it and as i only won a momentum my deck is still the same

Then it was time to face an Elder. The aetherfish feels no fear, but gulped anyway because it had seen movies and people gulp when they're scared.
But it turns out even the Elders are no match for aetherfish now. His power is growing to frightening heights. He unleashes a monstrous laugh from the depths as if he was a true-blue Deep One.
Who can stop aetherfish now? ~~><>

I've decided to do away with the daily limits, so that it won't be as bothersome to keep count.
A beautiful Toadfish came into my possession from an early spin, along with a second dagger, providing much needed damage. I've swapped to a Death mark to both boost dagger damage and provide consistent quanta for my Chrysaorii.
Successful spins of the day:
My ending deck:
The holy light spun provides a nice bit of emergency healing with excess quanta from the QPs, saving me a couple of times.
A hard-won battle:

Day 1: 17-13 (played against several ai3s and ai4s, and won 2 ai4 games and several ai3 games)
I still have the life starter deck. I won one card in the last game I played, a phase spider. My deck is the life starter, with the quantum pillars, rustlers, and burning pillars taken out. The forest spirits are strictly worse in this deck than rustlers, except that they are huge bullseyes for the AI targeting system; it will kill them first.

80 games later this is what I got
I desperately need creatures to make something better :P

I've mostly been switching between AI2/3. I started by slimming the starter down to a mono air but then I span a second Queen and a couple of Bonds from my first few AI3 games as well as an Emerald Dragon from an AI2 and used that as an excuse to make it a Life duo.
This is an interesting challenge. I'm so used to knocking the AI3s around in about a minute and this is really making me hate them again. Highlight of the day has to be facing the Pandevoodoo Elder and decking out with him on 2 health because only one of about 8 creatures was capable of hitting through Dusk Shield.

Only played against ai3/4 this time, except for some of the quests that I forgot about. Actually won some cards finally, beyond the phase spider and water pillar I won yesterday. I managed to get both a shard of wisdom and a lobotomizer from two different MA decks I faced in bronze (emerald shield beat one guy's bronze camping alt because it SoWed its immortals :p) and I also got an immortal and a dimshield, so I changed my secondary element to aether and bought some life pendulums, since buying pillars/pends is allowed. I have too much quanta in the deck, but at least a couple of the ai3 decks have earthquake, so it hasn't been a problem, yet.
I've noticed that ai3 plays a lot worse than the other levels. I've beaten the ai3 with auburn nymph several times because it won't use it on my creatures, but only on its own. (with gravity pull and catapult) Conversely, I cannot recall ever seeing the AI do that in any other situation. I've also noticed it playing very badly in other cases as well. I won one game because it would not use maxwell's demon no matter how much entropy quanta it had. I hit him about 4 times with my emerald dragon after he played a maxwell's, and even with like 8-9 entropy on the last turn and 10hp, the ai didn't bother to kill it.
This has really been a trip down memory lane, in no small part because I originally started with a life starter deck back in the day. I don't know if I'll stick with this more than a few days, but it's proved an interesting take (retake?) on the game for now. (also, lol at whoever lost to my bronze arena deck that had 5 skeletons, death mark, and all the life cards from the starter)

Winning a couple of interesting new cards, such as Hematite Golem, Parallel and Rage Potion, have transmuted the death/water duo into a brand new QPBow! The :water elemental begins his foray into a new world of L3 elementals. Not used to finding the AI a challenge, he nevertheless maintains a ~75% win rate.
Not sure yet which elemental weapon will prove the most helpful, Ripples has decided to make a decision later.

-Reached 500 score. I've yet to decide on a rare weapon.

As you can see, I've won I think exactly one life card (another emerald shield) since starting. I've won several decent aether cards, enough that I switched from fire as the secondary starter element, and several rares, but just not ones usable in life :p With a couple of crusaders and a vamp stiletto, maybe I can get a vamp sader thing going at some point, too.
Post by: Gandora on January 19, 2014, 07:34:21 am
So, I thought I'd give it a try :P RNG gave me :fire.
The deck is what I used immediately after throwing out initial things. Bought one :fire pillar to have 30 cards after taking out immolations.
Reached 500 Score today and will finally replace Dagger with Fahrenheit.
I'm very unlucky regarding the spins, I win almost nothing.
I pretty much just played AI3 because :fire has nice CC and the bolts can also deal a lot of damage if I gather enough quanta.

Wins: 57

Yesterday I got enough :air cards, including an OE, to make an air duo 2 wyrms, firefly and OE + cards from the time starter deck. It sucked less than the weirdbow I was using and I managed to finish the quests. Picked an arsenic and today I put the bow I'm currently using. The lack of novas means that you get trolled a lot by your QTs. I'll probably need to go to the arena to get some.

Decided to make a foray into the Arena, and managed to chain enough wins to spin. Won a Pulverizer, added it to the Aquabow. Also was fortunate enough to get a Lycanthrope and a Nymph's Tears. AI3 dropped a couple of Ice Dragons too.
With the above deck, my AI3 farming rate stabilized and proved much more fun. After winning a couple of Steam Machines and Fire cards, I've shifted the deck back into a duo, this time with Fire and Water.

On the fifth day I got devourer as oracle card (I knew I should have replaced my arena deck yesterday, lightning would have been a much better opportunity). I was forced to make a new arena deck since the last (and first) one had finally dropped out of top 500 (after going 8-23 or something like that.
If anyone is wondering why I lost so many electrum despite the good w/l ratio: I bought 15 life pendulums to make something trying to be FFQ/Hope to take against Destiny (oracle prediction), but it fumbled horribly because I forgot to change the mark into air (though it wouldn't have mattered, I died before I could draw a FFQ) :(
Static increase to the collection, especially happy about the steam machine I got, it could replace both a fire spirit and an ice dragon in my old rainbow, allowing me to fit in a second BB.

I knew I wouldn't have time to play many games today so I assumed that today's highlight was going to be my arena deck getting 3 wins (with 5 unplayable Abominations). That was until I won 2 Owls Eyes from my second AI3 game of the day!
These have been thrown into my deck to make (subject to further testing);
NOTE: not a rainbow deck, but it's still doing pretty well against AI3. The healing helps.

Steal graveyard, Rage Pot opponent creature, RT the Skeleton -> Auburn Nymph. After I BB'd everyone I was at 81 HP and the opponent played mutation in it. Since I got a Shrieker with mitosis I played a dim + heal and cruised to victory :) (thanks RNG)

I swear this was accidental :P
Day 5, Horny_Frog grew tired of its feeble opposition and ventured into the dangerous lands known as AI3. These battles were harder but the rewards were greater. Unfortunately, electrum is all but useless and Horny got very few cards from his wins. As such, the deck remains exactly the same. He also tried his hand at AI4 for the lulz but was greatly defeat by a sinister earth-gravy duo. Horny_Frog also passed the 500 score landmark, but has yet to chose his weapon.
Played 100, Won 82, Lost 18, Score 620, Electrum 1394
Its surprising how many people lose in Bronze to a puny Life-Water duo with 5 dead cards, not that I'm complaining :P

Also my arena deck (a bow similar to the main I'm using, but with 5 squids) made a nice chunk of :electrum for me :) (I think it made rank 70ish for a bit)

AI3 is functionally conquered, and it's been reasonably effective in bronze as well. Today, for a nice change of pace, I switched to an even rushier airbow, and it is glorious.

Had a pretty decent day, winning my first Dimensional Shield and 3rd Parallel Universe, as well as a Shard of Gratitude from my special spin, filling in the empty space for a Life card in my Aquabow, although I'm still using the Steam Dragons deck.

this is the only deck i use anymore. i am thinking of making another deck though. either lightbow or airbow.
Post by: dawn to dusk on January 25, 2014, 12:33:23 pm
Random update #2 (i felt that this needs a new post)
- i am now at 500 score so i can choose my rare wep
- i made a new deck
- i got some more rare cards from ai3 farming
i tried both a light and an air bow but i prefered the light
then my list of non pillar cards:
my bless bow will need tweaking due to cards like EQ but so far, i am happy with the deck. i still havent chosen my rare wep however. i was thinking discord since its useful, titan since its useful, eternity since i have a timebow and eternities are rare, and morning star since i have a lightbow. but i can only choose one :P. also, onto my 1st upgrade, i have nearly enough to up a card. chaos seed seems like an obvious option but i have enough blessings. maybe a peggy?

Not a lot of time, so only a few matches played.
I switched my deck to a FFQbow, considering the nice numbers of FFQ and Hope I got by now (I even had a third hope I can't really fit in). With a few more FFQs and some rustlers, I could make pretty mean FFQ/Hope deck, especially since I have 5 bonds. That is just wishing though, who knows what I get next, for now I will stick to this, it seems to be doing quite nicely against bronze arena.
I upgraded my one ice shield, because permafrost shield is awesome (sadly I couldn't find a spot in the FFQbow, but with 2 hopes I don't need more shields anyway)

Lightnings for Druids. Stiletto ended up being more than just damage after Destiny hatched a Psion. Lone Steal that was drawn was pointless since aetherfish got an early Stiletto (would otherwise Steal Eternity for damage).
No card won. aetherfish is kind of angry!

My deck against AI4 and my card pool. Got to say that I'm very unlucky with the spins and a loss streak isn't that rewarding.
The above deck got me the following stats:
40 Wins - 19 Losses, so a 2/1 ratio more or less ^^
Notable cards:
Amber Nymph from Oracle :P
Nightmare, Elite Deja Vu, Unstable Gas, Spine Carpace - Won in AI4 spins. I'm considering to sell some of them to upgrade cards of my deck.

Oh, also, it won a Black Nymph yesterday. Crappy Monodark is up in Silver at lvl 21. 5-10 record. The Bronze Life/Air deck did much better, but was at age 6. Today aetherfish spun Oty and made yet another controlbow, this time with Air mark, 5 upgrades, 185 HP, 2 OE's and 2 FFQ's.

Notable other unupped decks: Peggy rush, Monofire, BW/SoBe/RoF deck, decent Monodark, Monoaether, decent Pharaoh deck, control Grabbow, controlbow.
Due to the amount of upgrades aetherfish has won from AI4 and mostly daily FG killing, it's well beyond the point of one fully upgraded deck and can declare this challenge overcome. aetherfish will still, however, continue its journey for more power. It's the only thing it understands to some extent, after all.

aetherfish won its second Turquoise Nymph today. It must mean something considering its very short career as an elementalist. It still has no way to beat Hecate, as evidenced by its fast loss. Its Monofire is doing well in Silver since it got Seraph, but not as well as Monoaether of course since it only has 3 Deflags. Mostly just not getting enough plays though.

She later regretted not upgrading her quanta producers over the Wyrm.

On this day, ImSoGassy continued her relentless assault against the mean, mean Elders before bravely setting out to challenge the Bronze League for the first time. She succeeded in killing off a few of the less sophisticated decks and even managed to win her first Shard, a Shard of Freedom no less! However, as it became more apparent that Mono Aether decks and their Dim Shields would give her problems, she returned to fighting Elders to gain a few more upgrades and speed up her deck in the process. She is looking to create a Voodoo FG killer, but is still ultimately undecided at this point. Today ends at level 19.

ImSoGassy didn't feel like working today, so she stayed home and watched videos on YouTube instead. She gained a Fallen Elf from the Oracle before calling him a fatty and leaving to devour a plate of black beans.

ImSoGassy made more progress today than the day before, but the day was overall still uneventful outside of the continuous Bronze League grinding and accumulation of a few more shards. Viewing her card collection, she decided to work towards creating Limitless Speed (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/rainbow-decks/limitless-speed-fg-otk-(semi-unupped)(epic)), as she was missing only two cards from it by the end of the day, excluding upgrades. The Oracle gave her a Colossal Dragon out of appreciation for her comment the previous day before she told him to go die.
No images today.
No images today.
On this day ImSoGassy returned to face the Elders in the hopes of winning another Dim Shield and Hourglass to complete Limitless Speed. The Elders were very stingy and despite the favorable odds as well as immediately quitting against those that did not have the cards she sought after, she had not obtained more than an Hourglass after 5 hours of grinding. However, remembering the plague of Mono Aether decks in Bronze League caused her to return there with higher hopes. After about an hour of grinding she had acquired the elusive shield and was ready to depart for False Gods.
In other news, the Oracle continues his one-sided shows of affection by presenting ImSoGassy with a Boneyard. ImSoGassy flipped him a bird in exchange, but went on to try and construct a deck with it anyways. She felt quite discouraged after watching it go 1-6 in Bronze League, but felt somewhat better after recalling the successes of the almighty Aetherfish. She will continue trying her best until her final goal is met.
EDIT: FG grinding proves to be easier than expected, with ISG's first attempt against Ferox proves to be very easy and rewards her with an Elite Cockatrice!

ImSoGassy had set out with her new deck in the hopes of being able to earn upped cards to push her further towards her goal. By the end of this day nearly 2/3 of her deck had become fully upgraded. Still no additional Electrum Hourglass in sight, as it would appear that Lionheart, Destiny and Paradox have a great deal of fun in trolling the spins by throwing a random non-Hourglass card into the mix every. single. time.
The Oracle gifted her with an Earth Pendulum. "Thanks, fat man -.-"
The Oracle gifted her with an Earth Pendulum. "Thanks, fat man -.-"
ImSoGassy was slowly losing her sanity. She had a fully upgraded deck at this point but still the Hourglasses eluded her. She even resorted to grinding Elders again for a while in the hopes of having better chances there before concluding that she preferred her chances with False Gods more. After taking several YouTube breaks she forced herself to go to sleep to save what bit of mental clarity she still had. She had also started officially coining the nickname "Lionfart" after being continually trolled by the FG on whose name it was based.
The Oracle, after seeing how much she enjoyed her gift from the day before, blessed her with an Aether Pendulum. How sweet.

Once again ImSoGassy was not having any luck in her endeavors to acquire more Hourglasses, even after she had decided to start auto-quitting against FGs who did not have the card she desired. At some point, however, she decided to stop this tactic as she didn't like the effects that it was having on her win/loss ratio.
Exhausted and slightly rabid, she faced Lionheart yet again as the False God laughed and taunted her, "Still actually hoping to win an Hourglass? Why don't you just give up and go home?" But ImSoGassy would not be deterred so easily:
"FIRST THINGS FIRST, I'M THE REALEST"
After boldly exclaiming her declaration, ImSoGassy struck down the condescending False God and wrenched an Electrum Hourglass from his cold, dead hands.
In other news, the Oracle gave her a Maxwell's Demon. She avoided making eye contact as much as possible at this point.

ImSoGassy woke up feeling slightly more cheerful than the days before. After immediately quitting games versus Hermes, Obliterator, and Dark Matter respectively, she once again found herself staring down Lionheart. Whimpering, the False God begged her to just leave him alone. But ImSoGassy would not give up with her goal just within reach. She pulverized the FG once again before stealing yet another Hourglass from him as she left him to cry in a corner somewhere. With this, she had acquired a fully upgraded FG grinder and had ultimately accomplished what she had set out to do. She bid her False God friends adieu and set out to return home.
...but before she reached her destination she decided to stop by one more friend first. As she entered the Oracle's domain she could already guess that what awaited her would not be anything particularly special. Just as this thought passed her mind yet again, the Oracle cheerfully passed her a card face-down.
"You'll like this one, it's really powerful." ImSoGassy flipped it over to reveal that she had acquired a Stone Dragon.
"Oh."

Here's the deck I'm using:
Post by: CrockettRocket on November 17, 2014, 03:53:49 am
Looks like I'm going to update my NBC. Alright, where to start? Today I hatched a Fate Egg into a deja vu, deja vu'ed next turn and mutated one. I got a black nymph with mutate, mutate the other to get a flesh spider with deja vu. Deja vu that and next turn I mutate a graviton guard for a maxwell's demon with... deja vu. The end result? 7|7 Flesh Spider, 14|9 Flesh Spider (with ablaze), 6|5 Maxwell's, 8|8 Maxwell's, 4|7 Black nymph. Morale of the Story: Deja vu OP. Also mutated toadfish for the lols and got a 6|5 Graboid with mitosis...Against an FG? or was that a random match with super crazy happenings so you posted it?

Afterwards I read the opener here, started again random.
Got fire and much better results, 10-0 so far. I didn't fight AI3 yet, but with life I had some problems even with AI2 sometimes.
Already won Hematite Golem and Devourer from the spins, no cards in more spins for life.
Let's see how far I can get this.

Peaked at Rank 2 in Bronze with 195 HP. Currently Rank 4 and 73-28 with 67 HP. I literally threw all my fire cards into a deck and added pillars, NBC Swag. I'll figure out how to use that Arena tool someday...

I have a decent mono dark and several variations for my fire deck.
Still I don't feel I stand any chance against FG.
It surprises me that I still don't have more than 3 copies of any aether card although I play mostly bronze. Also not a single Hourglass, only 1 wyrm from oracle, just won my 2nd Grabo.
I thought I'd win the cards I see as common arena cards first, but instead I often face some rather poor decks.

This time I have named the account Aethofuze after the Aether/Fire Half-Blood, and my aim will be a mostly upped Fractix deck. I expect this will take longer as aetherfish has yet to find A SINGLE GODDAMN FRACTAL OR EVEN MITO.
Aethofuze's personality will be playful, but extremely powerful and easily turned to violence, largely because she doesn't take it seriously enough at all. Her experience has, however, taught her well and she can be consulted for nuggets of wisdom if she's in the right mood. Mood is, indeed, the key word to keep in mind around her.
I think it's time for the world to burn. I awoke this morning from a searing vision of my firebirds covering the skies of the world as its rulers, purging nature of weakness and ever-growing my power and influence. Pitifully enough, randomness has chosen an inferior element for me.

I'm offered a pathetic reward for plunging straight into battle, but I don't see a reason to do so before I've improved this piece of crap at least slightly.
It's a damn shame I can't buy Poisons and Mummies, because I could easily max out on 'em. Well, this isn't nearly as slow as some other modified starters would be. I initially packed 2 more pillars and the Plague, but I think with 4 Virii the Yards and Vulture can help a bit with the speed.
The Fat One predicted I could face the Graviton King if I wanted,
:gravitybig
but my power isn't nearly there yet. He also gave me a Sky Blitz and a Dragonfly pet. I've beaten AI2 and am amassing useless :electrum . So far there's no good future game plan with this card base in mind, so I'm going to have to rely on AI2 drops until I see the light of flame at the end of the proverbial wormhole tunnel.

On a stormy night, a beaten traveler walks into the tavern....
Rolled an 8, which translates to Gravy on the start menu. Lyriel's journey of indeterminate length starts today.
(Dang, it's been a while since I've actually tried to play this game.)
Her arsenal is immediately cut down to something a tad more consistent. Beats the AI0 with a little trouble, but Mitosis Photon and a hasty Forest Spirit doesn't meant much against Otys.
She's always been one for experimentation, though, and she quickly decides to try to tap into the blessed Earth she abandoned almost immediately once more. She refuses to throw away any of her possessions; in this harsh world, the few scraps one can find may build empires. She decides to let the children play with their Photons and moves on to tougher fights.
Her dragons take well to her; they are almost always the first to leap to her call of battle, sometimes even quicker than she can whip out her knife in battle. Her next opponent is an Archer that attempts to use another one of those Spirits, along with some poisonous jellyfish. She lets herself get stung exactly once before commanding her dragon to squash the disgusting thing. Her Graboid soon follows her battle call, and despite the invocation of a healing spell, the battle is hers, with a small Gnome Rider fleeing from the mercenary and bullish charger leaping to her side. The archer, in desperation, pulls out a shining sword of pure Light while shielding himself in a thorny carapace, but the stings are negligible and she perseveres.
She collects her reward and whistles quietly as she moves onward. The night is long, and she has many sorrows to escape. Her dragons do not leap as quickly this time as she faces an opponent of ether and wind, shooting Sparks at her in a devilish ambush. Leaping up, she readies her battle call, only to find that her opponent has sent a Dragonfly at her in some sort of mockery of her troops; at least, the growls of the mercenary riding the Armagio hint as such. An attempt to send in an Otyugh is quickly foiled by a well-timed Thunderstorm; but she takes down an incoming Wyrm with a quick command to her troops. A wall of fog suddenly covers the battlefield, and she mutters an expletitive to herself as she empowers the mercenary with a powerful physical force - no fog will negate his ungodly speed and search capabilities now. Another Otyugh lands down and chomps on the pesky Dragonfly, but the thunderstorms continue to harass her troops. She almost receives a blow, but the mercenary suddenly leaps towards her and takes the blow for her; in that movement is conveyed something familliar, but her thoughts are quickly distracted by the roar of a dragon; one of her own. Much to her frusration, the ambushing elemental suddenly leaps out of phase, no doubt a trick of the spiteful ether; but she simply summons more troops and waits for weaknesses. The first mercenary, her(?) mercenary manages to keep in pacing, punching where the elemental suddenly seems to phase back in to strike, meeting each attempted blow with a carefuly timed parry. In the end, she stands above the rascal, and collects her pay once more.
Her first real challenge begins here; she realizes now that the Grand Arena this town has been built around is not one to be trifled with and she must earn a reputation here if she wishes to move up in the world. The next battles are mindless; almost mechanical. She picks her targets carefully; there is no sense of honor here and she is more than aware she will not be called out on stomping out the weak; she'll simply be given less pay and a smaller chance at any gear or comrades to win over to her cause. Her Otyugh proves incessantly useful at swallowing up a storm of Antlion, Pegasi, and Photons poured out against her by a devout cleric she encounters next.
Then she sees the Immortal. The majestic warrior is cast out of the ether, it's shimmering armor representing the otherwordly protection from most sources of mortal harm. She could've cared less, but her opponent soon follows up by conjuring an illusion of the Otyugh she's happily fed, its massive figure now towering against her. She digustedly orders the illusion to be ripped to shreds. The Immortal gives a hesistant look of respect, but ultimately walks away with his fleeing master. She sticks her tongue out at his back while secretly commending his loyalty.
Another Spark-flinger catches her ire, this time wielding virulent energies of chaos as she tries to mind her own buisness. The chaotic warps time around here and suddenly vines are growing out of nowhere; she's not a fan of this lack of consistency. Her irritation starts turning into worry when her full charger is shocked back to quanta by a focused lightning bolt, and another Immortal steps out to challenge her - what was previously a crazed freak is now is moving with the precision of an Assassin. In a panic, she gives the command to her Mercenary, but even empowered with her speed he cannot dodge the precise shots of lightning; these movements are too certain, and before she knows it, she's forced to rally her forces to take down a warped Abomination and dodge a too convenient swing from her opponent's shiv.
She curses the fact that the shield she looted doesn't work on small fries. A healing incantation, a round-ish bird, and another Immortal push her to the corner - this is the first time she's forced an Armagio to make a tactical sacrifice, and her second one soon follows suit. In the confusion of raining metal and dust, she quickly plants her knife into her opponent's neck. It is over, but she barely won.
She decides to visit the Oracle for insight; her reptutation is large enough now that the clerics bow to her presence and let her in; though, they do that for any adventurer who's sprinkled a little blood around here. He offers at temporary Deja Vu to help her, as well as a vision that she will face Morte, should she dare face a False God. The rogue captain almost scoffs at the prospect, and leaves, but not before a spirit of the past offers to join her. She doesn't have the right kind of energies yet, but she accepts, nonetheless.
After her disturbing experience with the entropic assassin, she decides to pick on weaker targets once more. Her Mercenary gives her a concerned nod, but she ignores it and observes the maddened voodoo shaman she just encountered mutate her Charger into... an even bigger spiny fish*. She laughs at the enemy's poor luck; his command of the forces of gravity does him little when her own troops can move far faster.
(seriously, 4/5 charger into 10/6 Toadfish from mutate. AI dumb.)
Frustrated by the lack of strength, she decided to proceed back to finding stronger targets. She draws her knife rather quickly this time against the ether-blessed opponent, with her mercenary following suit as soon as they feel the strong gravitational waves in the area. Another wall of fog appears - her target is marked with Air's power, apparently, but she responds with a well-timed burst of momentum on her Mercenary. The Otyugh, on the other hand, receives an unfortunate lightning bolt to its mouth. A thunderstorm soon takes out her temporarily pet and fries her intentionally placed bait into oblivion, despite a healthy layering of plate armor.
She's in fairly good shape until yet another illusion occurs, targeting her mercenary of all things, and a Wyrm swoops out of the sky ready to have her for a snack. A charger leaps in just in time to prevent such an embarrassing fate and she dryly wonders how many prayers it would take for a False God to bless her with a useful shield. She has no time ot worry, though, as an Azure Dragon suddenly charges onto the field, roaring over the Wyrm's corpse she just ordered her Armagio to strangle. She grants the Dragon's tamer a swift defeat before retreating once more - her stronger opponents really do leave her in need of better armaments.
Back to weaker targets then, she thinks in frustration. A copied Deja Vu is quickly eaten - twice, she might add - by one of her Otyughs; the destructive power of a butterfly could mean jack to her for all she cared at this point. While the Warden guarding the ruins is slightly more intimidating, she can't help but snark that when his leader is just some chaos wielder with a hammer, he must be pretty lame. A last-minute summon of a purple dragon becomes dinner, and the magical staff (an Eternity, she thinks)? soon drawn against her just meets the tip of her knife. She notices a Wyrm flying over ahead but at the last minute it leaps off to battle a random Psion in the distance. Confound it all!
She decides to humor a young man using a few Photons. His hammer's swing lacks strength, and his ability to channel quanta is anything but consistent. His Fire Spirit just ends up giving her Otyugh a spicy meal, and she doesn't stay long beyond a few generic words of encouragement at the end. The Bone Dragon was fairly likeable, though. A shame she couldn't recruit it.
Her next battle call is resounded to with...absolutely nothing. Fortunately, it seems like her opponent's creatures took their sweet time... or so she wished, as she just barely manages to block a Psion's next blow. Her Otyugh is struck down by a well-timed Mummy - it seems like she's not the only one in control of gravitational forces here.
And then he phases out. Bloody ethermages. She commands her troops to smash the Psion's face into the dirt, unleashes her momentum charms, and spitefully weighs down the Mummy with some plate armor. Her opponent continues to bite back, though - after chugging down a bottle of luceferin, he summons a Fallen Elf, which proceeds to anchor a Spark to reality by warping it into a chaotic abomination. She considers it rather fortunate that her Armagio ended up mutated into a hulking Shrieker...one that duplicated, no less. She wasn't asking how that one worked.
(seriously, 1/25 Armagio into 9/6 Shrieker with Deja Vu. +Momentum, gave me the match)
It almost seems like there would've been an eclipse tonight, but it seems like not even the weather will turn in her favor tonight. She counts her coins, and walks towards an inn...
Rolled an 8, which translates to Gravy on the start menu. Lyriel's journey of indeterminate length starts today.
Her arsenal is immediately cut down to something a tad more consistent. Beats the AI0 with a little trouble, but Mitosis Photon and a hasty Forest Spirit doesn't meant much against Otys.
She's always been one for experimentation, though, and she quickly decides to try to tap into the blessed Earth she abandoned almost immediately once more. She refuses to throw away any of her possessions; in this harsh world, the few scraps one can find may build empires. She decides to let the children play with their Photons and moves on to tougher fights.
Her dragons take well to her; they are almost always the first to leap to her call of battle, sometimes even quicker than she can whip out her knife in battle. Her next opponent is an Archer that attempts to use another one of those Spirits, along with some poisonous jellyfish. She lets herself get stung exactly once before commanding her dragon to squash the disgusting thing. Her Graboid soon follows her battle call, and despite the invocation of a healing spell, the battle is hers, with a small Gnome Rider fleeing from the mercenary and bullish charger leaping to her side. The archer, in desperation, pulls out a shining sword of pure Light while shielding himself in a thorny carapace, but the stings are negligible and she perseveres.
She collects her reward and whistles quietly as she moves onward. The night is long, and she has many sorrows to escape. Her dragons do not leap as quickly this time as she faces an opponent of ether and wind, shooting Sparks at her in a devilish ambush. Leaping up, she readies her battle call, only to find that her opponent has sent a Dragonfly at her in some sort of mockery of her troops; at least, the growls of the mercenary riding the Armagio hint as such. An attempt to send in an Otyugh is quickly foiled by a well-timed Thunderstorm; but she takes down an incoming Wyrm with a quick command to her troops. A wall of fog suddenly covers the battlefield, and she mutters an expletitive to herself as she empowers the mercenary with a powerful physical force - no fog will negate his ungodly speed and search capabilities now. Another Otyugh lands down and chomps on the pesky Dragonfly, but the thunderstorms continue to harass her troops. She almost receives a blow, but the mercenary suddenly leaps towards her and takes the blow for her; in that movement is conveyed something familliar, but her thoughts are quickly distracted by the roar of a dragon; one of her own. Much to her frusration, the ambushing elemental suddenly leaps out of phase, no doubt a trick of the spiteful ether; but she simply summons more troops and waits for weaknesses. The first mercenary, her(?) mercenary manages to keep in pacing, punching where the elemental suddenly seems to phase back in to strike, meeting each attempted blow with a carefuly timed parry. In the end, she stands above the rascal, and collects her pay once more.
Her first real challenge begins here; she realizes now that the Grand Arena this town has been built around is not one to be trifled with and she must earn a reputation here if she wishes to move up in the world. The next battles are mindless; almost mechanical. She picks her targets carefully; there is no sense of honor here and she is more than aware she will not be called out on stomping out the weak; she'll simply be given less pay and a smaller chance at any gear or comrades to win over to her cause. Her Otyugh proves incessantly useful at swallowing up a storm of Antlion, Pegasi, and Photons poured out against her by a devout cleric she encounters next.
Then she sees the Immortal. The majestic warrior is cast out of the ether, it's shimmering armor representing the otherwordly protection from most sources of mortal harm. She could've cared less, but her opponent soon follows up by conjuring an illusion of the Otyugh she's happily fed, its massive figure now towering against her. She digustedly orders the illusion to be ripped to shreds. The Immortal gives a hesistant look of respect, but ultimately walks away with his fleeing master. She sticks her tongue out at his back while secretly commending his loyalty.
Another Spark-flinger catches her ire, this time wielding virulent energies of chaos as she tries to mind her own buisness. The chaotic warps time around here and suddenly vines are growing out of nowhere; she's not a fan of this lack of consistency. Her irritation starts turning into worry when her full charger is shocked back to quanta by a focused lightning bolt, and another Immortal steps out to challenge her - what was previously a crazed freak is now is moving with the precision of an Assassin. In a panic, she gives the command to her Mercenary, but even empowered with her speed he cannot dodge the precise shots of lightning; these movements are too certain, and before she knows it, she's forced to rally her forces to take down a warped Abomination and dodge a too convenient swing from her opponent's shiv.
She curses the fact that the shield she looted doesn't work on small fries. A healing incantation, a round-ish bird, and another Immortal push her to the corner - this is the first time she's forced an Armagio to make a tactical sacrifice, and her second one soon follows suit. In the confusion of raining metal and dust, she quickly plants her knife into her opponent's neck. It is over, but she barely won.

Oh look, gravy as well.
Prologue
And stood outside, wondering where he’d go next.
Insert_name_here, tired of being picked at by other people because of the silly name his parent chose (but seriously, what were they thinking?), set off into the world to make a name of himself.
His father gave him one gift before he went: A small deck of cards.
These were cards that possessed power, cards that could cast spells, or summon creatures. Insert_name_here wondered where his father had gotten those cards, and why he never shown them to him. And he looked carefully at each card in his deck:
But he didn’t find much use with the Earth and Other cards, so he took them out. But as he tried to reduce he deck size to 29, he couldn’t take out another Quantum Pillar. The laws of the Elements prevented him from doing so.
Very well, he thought, so insert_name_here had to make do with this deck:
His father had said that the world was dangerous, with wild beasts, gods mad with their own power, and the nomadic peoples, all willing to kill anyone for pleasure.
And that’s how insert_name_here started his adventure in the world of Elements.
Chapter 1 – The First Fights
Insert_name_here took his first steps into the forest.
Then he was attacked.
Luckily, the Psion was alone. Its electric assault did hurt, yes, but he would live.
Insert_name_here’s creatures beat at his attacker, and watched it as it turn into essence, floating up into the air. A single coin fell down, and insert_name_here pocketed it.
(http://imgur.com/z7B7jjr.png)
“YOU WILL PAY FOR THE DEATH OF MY CREATURE!”
Insert_name_here turned around, and he was attacked again.
Two Phase Salvagers attacked, and disappeared into a different dimension. And then there was nothing. Insert_name_here wondered what tricks the man had, but still, he kept summoning a Collosal Dragon and Graviton Mercenaries and such against the man, when suddenly, the Dim Shield appeared. Half of insert_name_here’s damage became useless. He then couldn’t play anything for a turn. The man smiled maliciously at insert_name_here, knowing he had won. Then, insert_name_here drew a Sapphire Charger, a creature with Momentum, allowing it to pass through all shields.
Turns later, the man’s essence floated to the sky.
(http://i.imgur.com/hLUunXW.png)
...
Insert_name_here found a fat man staring at him. He spun a large wheel, and it landed on Death. And then the fat man, the Oracle, handed him a Death Penduleum.
“Thanks?” was all insert_name_here would mumble as he stuffed the lousy card in his pocket.
(http://i.imgur.com/jtX0BLv.png)
But as he entered his next battle, an Abomination with the mark of the Oracle joined him in his battle. Well, at least the Oracle did something to balance out his crappy card.
…
Insert_name_here entered the Arena. As he stepped inside the building, a magic copy of him formed.
A woman told him that his magic copy would fight other people, and if the deck the copy used was good enough, insert_name_here’s name would be announced to the rest of the Arena. Insert_name_here had nothing to lose, so he tried it out.
(http://i.imgur.com/r6Cz4nw.png)

As he slept, insert_name_here wondered what the next day, the next week, the next month of his journeys would bring him.
And stood outside, wondering where he’d go next.

Yeah, if you liked it, don't expect any more from me. Sorry, I'm just too lazy and I find it unenjoyable. If you didn't like it, well, at least I have another to write.
Anyways, since I have a socials studies project due tomorrow, and I spent more time writing this crap than doing the project, I made sure I would make very little progress so I'd have time to do said project, but here it is:
- 1x Dragonfly
- 1x Wyrm
- 1x Lightning
- 1x Death Pendulum (Thanks fat man, you sure have been generous)
- 51 score, and thus, level

Removed all the non-Air cards, and proceeded to fighting AI2s. After a few matches later, I won my first card:
(http://i.imgur.com/Q21EjyR.jpg)
(http://i.imgur.com/eQTuXY2.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/eQTuXY2.png)
Might as well add it. I'm lacking beatsticks anyways, even relying on a FFQ for its 3 attack.
(http://i.imgur.com/rXFJbJB.jpg)
I guess I should try adding the eggs back in for some damage, or maybe some life pends for the FFQ. It will all depend on what I get next.
Oracle spin! This is really weird though, I just got a double spin from the oracle. One after the oracle reset, and an extra one after logging in again.
(http://i.imgur.com/ROcNr6K.jpg)
Maybe it's because I stayed logged in before the reset, on a fresh account? This never happened on my old one. Well, I guess I can't complain about this, I got -exactly- what I needed after all.
This deck is already decent, so I immediately step into Arena. Silver is still pretty harsh for this deck, so I just stayed in Bronze. Worked my way to 500 score and claimed my OE. I got a couple of special spins, none of which yielded a SoFr. And eventually...
(http://i.imgur.com/Gc8h8ia.jpg)
Baby's first upgrade! And even though the Wyrms were in dire need of an upgrade, my first upgrade -had- to be a damselfly.
Score: 958
W/L: 89/38
Current goals:
- Get some SoFr's
- Hopefully get a second Fog
- Get to Silver level

Ahahahaha, rain fire from the skies! Simply divine. The Fat One continues to stick with one Element, and offers Incarnate up in burning sacrifice. I'll let him live another day.
The acquisition of several mid-range cards allows me to finally make a semi-competent QP-semi-rush. Pulling off PU'd Accelerated Hematites with Momentum? PU is always priceless. The glorious Rain of Fire shall replace the measly Squid that once occupied a slot in my deck. Still looking for Dragons and more shields. Those are the power cards you want for a QP farmer.
My Arena deck now also becomes somewhat dangerous. Due to the 5 RoF's, I may change mark or just run more quanta. We shall see.
Edit: After winning more Gravy cards and doubles of Golem, Abom and Blessing, I've managed to transition from the pitifully weak Death element to a Gravybow that is about 1-2 turns faster. For the 500 score quest, I chose the Pulverizer, for pulverizing. This will work best with any future rainbows, and I expect I'll be adding Dragons and Dims as I find 'em. I can now crush most of the Elders in combat.

Temparelquoted for further reference
Random update #2 (i felt that this needs a new post)
- i am now at 500 score so i can choose my rare wep
- i made a new deck
- i got some more rare cards from ai3 farming
i tried both a light and an air bow but i prefered the light
then my list of non pillar cards:
my bless bow will need tweaking due to cards like EQ but so far, i am happy with the deck. i still havent chosen my rare wep however. i was thinking discord since its useful, titan since its useful, eternity since i have a timebow and eternities are rare, and morning star since i have a lightbow. but i can only choose one :P. also, onto my 1st upgrade, i have nearly enough to up a card. chaos seed seems like an obvious option but i have enough blessings. maybe a peggy?

"Hello!" She whirls around to face a temporal spirit...except this time, there are two - her recent recruit, and the oddly jovial one standing next to him. "I'm Bob, Dalaskion Mideth Dthrem the 6th's brother! He said there was lots of action!"
She refrains the urge to say something profane as she heads out for today's fights.
She's felt oddly discontented lately; dreams of another life seem to plague her, of lives lost, of world ending, of hidden fears brought to the surface. Her next opponent's use of the Undead doesn't help quench that fear. As if to taunt her further he also decides to use time manipulation to restore his first Skeleton to a Lava Golem, strong and proud.
She orders her Mercenary to end the Golem with a well-placed left hook. A Charger's ambush is turned against her as it springs a deadly virus, and a mysterious egg enchanted by her opponent suddenly transforms into an Entropy Nymph. She decides not to comment on the Otyugh's choice of meals today, and leaps on top of an Armagio; the closer she is to the battlefield, the less disgruntled she'll feel. A powerful time bolt speeds by and knocks her Otyugh back into quanta, but her opponent has long sealed his fate since then.
She lets the next few battles fly by quickly and wordlessly. No one addresses her for the rest of the day, but a brief flash of a star in the havens seems to offer her consolation. A small spider skitters up to her soon after, and quietly lands in the palm of her hand. She lets it sit there as she observes the rising sun, wondering of things to come.
An Abomination offers to join her cause at high noon. Perhaps she isn't as alone as she thinks.
==============================
Maxwell's Demons have nothing on Gravy, and Otyugh continues to be a lifesaver that gobbles up weenies and eventually fatties. For AI2, this modified starter deck is turning out more handy than I'd thought it would be.

A wave of silence sweeps over the forest as her words suddenly turn into thin air; the chirps of the birds, the creaks of the mechanical Armagio, her Mercenary's cursing, it all suddenly falls on deaf ears.
A second later, time seems to start again as a few more Frogs start audibly ribbiting. She recognizes the phenomenon as an ethermage trick, but it was just an offside fire; something completely harmless.
Her next battle leads with an empty-handed battle call again. She curses under her breath, but fortunately her opponent seems to struggle with her own battlecall as well. Eventually, she draws her own knife and charges in frustration, yelling "Finally!" as her Mercenary leaps to her side, followed shortly by a hematite golem. Her opponent responds by pulling out an elaborate azure bow, and firing a darkness laced arrow into the golem's side - it's a weak drain vis spell that delays the battle, but even the appearance of a rogue abomination, a cursed buckler, and a poisoned arrow cannot save her opponent. A lofty angel, called in at the last second, is quickly swallowed by yet another Otyugh - she really does wonder how bottomless their stomachs can be.
In the aftermath of a battle, a vampire approaches her, expressing his appreciating of her bloodshed. Thus, the flamboyant Dave Skotadi Batman joins her army, though she suspects her battlecalls still aren't ready to go beyond the reaches of Gravity and Earth, and perhaps Time, with a little effort.
Her next battle is against a Chaos Mage with a fire-eating companion. In his gambit to outwit her, he casts a chaos charm at her Armagio, cursing it with....the forces of gravity. She barely bats at an eyelash at the mage's own foolishness, as his Purple Dragon useless crashes into the Armagio over and over while she pursues her prey.
Stopping by one of the smaller arenas, she faces a watery-faced mechanic who proudly unveils a Steam Machine...only to find he forgot to bring fuel for it to function. A blessing of purity and a Wyrm swiftly move to assist the token photon he'd thrown up as a defense, but her team's coordination makes short work of him. She decides to celebrate her victory by trying to catch a dragonfly with a net, but this earns her nothing more than a few suppressed chuckles for her Mercenary.
As she takes her leave, she runs into an angry Gnome merchant who suddenly decides to attack her out of ire. While the searing walls of flame knock several of her troops out, she commands her chargers to outmanuever the flame, with her dragon giving one final angry reminder to the stout marketer to take out his own anger on the right customers.
The rest her battles are fairly uneventful.

As I'm battling, I realize something.

What is this thing? Why are there so many weird creatures in this world? So far, there's a giant bug thingy, a weird green and brown ant/lion/whatever, and now there's this thing.
I beat the AI2. It was rather uneventful. I shall rest for the night. I need time to think about my life choices and why I'm here. Or something deep. I dunno.

The Fat One continues to stick to one element as he tells his fortunes.
If the best offense is a good defense, then the best vengeance is outliving them all.
Bullshit. Crush 'em under your heels, faithful Graviton soldiers. I like my shift from the weakling, slow element of Death to the sturdy critters of Gravity. Though they're not fast, I at least have some affiliation with Fire.. even if I don't have any Fire Eaters.
Neptune is not worth my time right now. I'm smashing Elders. Gravybow remains the same. See previous post for edit.
I've now moved to Bronze to almost win cards in a new environment. One day I'll grab RNG by the neck and fling it down into the flaming abyss.

Still on the hunt for SoFr and some new Air cards, so I'm doing Bronze, and sometimes Silver for variety. I met myself in Bronze, and of course proceeded to murdering myself for a few extra cash, and guess what: an Azure Dragon! This certainly helps in turning my deck from crap to good.

1 Silurian Dragon
1 Stone Dragon

Divine Glory
Don't waste any effort on any side projects. Pick your battle, and fight it with your all.
Yo, I already am. Yesterday was a complete failure until the very last Bronze run when I won Etern+HG in one match and Colossal+GP in another. Second special spin ever yielded me nothing, just like the first one. I also won a Graboid during that run, but I'm not 100% sold on swapping a Golem with it. It's faster, but the strength of my deck lies in 6+ HP and Golem's the only one with it naturally except for the slow FFQ. Still, I'll try the bugger out.
Let's see which one works best.
Edit: Holy crap. First Bronze fight is a 1 HP deck that I EM and get Azure AND Black Dragon in spins. If only I had another shield; I could go half-Dragon-bow.

Puff's Huff - Day 3:
My attempts at making a working Air/Fire duo with what I have failed miserably - Deflagrations and SoBr didn't help much with the deck, especially when what I sacrificed is the massive amount of firepower that the Firefly Queens provide, something that's a little lacking for unupped Air play. And so I decided to move to a totally different direction:
A crapbow, like everybody else.
It didn't win more against bronze, though it was a little faster than the monoair. Eventually after grinding out Bronze, I won two more Novas and one more Graboid (+ a ton of trash and a Dragonfly). This was my ticket to finally creating a working rainbow rush:
Could use two more Graboids, but it's already very solid as is. I now have a decent chance to stand against Silver, and a good winrate against Bronze. With this I just kept raking the cards and electrum in, and I even got to EM the rank 2 bronze once for 400+ :electrum. I got a second Owl's Eye which would be great for my Air deck goal, and enough electrum to upgrade my two Dragonflies.
Eventually, I reached level 20 with this, but I didn't want to leave Bronze before the next oracle spin. So I entered plat, trying to lose, but then...
(http://i.imgur.com/NSjRM2q.jpg)
Not my intention, but I can't complain either. This was a lucky game for me, so maybe I should try one more match in hopes of getting a special spin!

Obliterator
Pet was a mystery until my first battle with the Elders.
Very helpful.
The optimal deck type for winrate remains the same no matter your starter, it seems. Some elements can undoubtedly go for a rush that's good enough for Bronze and Elders, which would speed this early game up quite a bit, but Death is not among them and neither is Gravy. Having moved from Death to Gravy to Air, it's easy to see which is the better, and still Aether would stand above them all.
Yet to win a Phoenix or Fractal for my ultimate goal either. Well, that's why I picked it; I knew it'd take a very long time. Most likely months.
Edit: Woo, first Dim from Elder.

To summarize:
(http://i.imgur.com/mqTSbzO.jpg)
Today is a lucky day. Basically, I've acquired so many new cards that it doesn't fit on the bottom screen anymore, 2 columns extra.
With the acquisition of my 5th nova and my last two graboids, I've completed my Grabbow. I've also obtained enough cards to build a monodark, but with only one Steal, it still doesn't work that well against arena. I've also made an Air/Fire duo work, well, primarily by grinding out the upgrades. But hey, that still counts.
This is starting to look like normal EtG now...

I wake up, dizzy. Where am I? I sit up, and look down to see a pouch on my lap. I open it and find a deck of cards. I shuffle through them, curious.
I immediately take a liking to the Water cards. I decide to trim the deck of Light and also remove a Chrysaora, not liking its ties with Death. I would've removed the other one as well, but it appears as if I cannot. No matter, I shall let it be for now.
I put the removed cards in the pouch and slide the deck into my pocket. I get up and start walking, hoping to find somebody. Almost immediately, I come across a small child. She notices me, then immediately pulls out her own deck of cards and throws out a few. Pillars of many colors sprouted out from the cards, and she looks at me expectantly. Almost instinctively, I know what to do. I take out my own deck and spike a few cards into the ground in front of me. A row of pillars made of water came up, along with a single Quantum Pillar.
I can feel the deck in my hands heating up, and I can almost hear the cards trying to get onto the battlefield. I finally relent, letting loose a huge Ice Dragon onto the child. A Blue Crawler follows suit, tearing at the child's health. More of the child's multicolored pillars come out. It seems as if that is all it can do.
But, right as I thought that, a Fallen Elf comes out and scratches me. It's a negligible wound, but I don't like the feeling. I summon some icy power and freeze it solid.
The child sends out some more creatures, but I freeze those as well. Meanwhile, my own army has been viciously attacking, and the child looks close to death. But I feel no mercy and let my creatures continue.
In a last feeble attempt, the child tries poisoning my dragon, but it's too late. I walk over, a bolt of ice in hand, and finish her. I look through her belongings, but all she has is a measly coin.
After some more journeying, I stumble across somebody around the same age as me. He looks at me, then pulls out his deck of cards. I sigh. It seems as if all people do here is fight. I guess I won't be getting any answers from him either. I proceed to brutally murdering him as well. I'm starting to like my icy powers.
But, that kid only had two coins. It seems as if I won't be getting money or answers.
The third person I pass is a fat old man who has a ring of elements floating around him. He doesn't seem to want to fight. Instead, he gives me an Amethyst Pillar, a few coins, and a fortune. It also seems as if he has given me a Toadfish to aid in future battles. Strange fellow, but I accept the gifts.
And then I found another person.
This time, it's a fully grown man, and he immediately gets out Obsidian and Water Pillars. He gets out a Devourer and starts freezing my forces.
I smile. This might actually be a challenge then.
He immediately follows with a crowd of Chrysaora and Fire Spirits, while I counter with a Blue Crawler. His Fire Spirit was starting to get rather large, and that's when I was forced to hide behind my icy shield. The spirit froze, and I had some breathing space.
But the man wouldn't let that last long. He started fighting with a small Dagger, slicing at my shield.
I thought it was rather pitiful, but he suddenly backs up and reveals that he was a distraction, allowing him to summon a Crimson Dragon and Ash Eater without me noticing. Thankfully, the dragon's claw hit a particular icy patch on my shield, and the ice traveled up its arm and froze it solid. My Toadfish then proceeded to inflate, poisoning the frozen creature.
I manage to get up close, but then a Fire Shield comes into play, and my Toadfish succumbs to the heat. While I'm distracted by that, the man steals my own icy shield, turning my own power against me. I curse under my breath, then form a bolt of ice in each hand and kill the man. It was close, but I won.
.. The man had 7 coins.
I decide to rest for the day. I'll pick up trying to figure out where I am tomorrow.
I immediately take a liking to the Water cards. I decide to trim the deck of Light and also remove a Chrysaora, not liking its ties with Death. I would've removed the other one as well, but it appears as if I cannot. No matter, I shall let it be for now.
I put the removed cards in the pouch and slide the deck into my pocket. I get up and start walking, hoping to find somebody. Almost immediately, I come across a small child. She notices me, then immediately pulls out her own deck of cards and throws out a few. Pillars of many colors sprouted out from the cards, and she looks at me expectantly. Almost instinctively, I know what to do. I take out my own deck and spike a few cards into the ground in front of me. A row of pillars made of water came up, along with a single Quantum Pillar.
I can feel the deck in my hands heating up, and I can almost hear the cards trying to get onto the battlefield. I finally relent, letting loose a huge Ice Dragon onto the child. A Blue Crawler follows suit, tearing at the child's health. More of the child's multicolored pillars come out. It seems as if that is all it can do.
But, right as I thought that, a Fallen Elf comes out and scratches me. It's a negligible wound, but I don't like the feeling. I summon some icy power and freeze it solid.
The child sends out some more creatures, but I freeze those as well. Meanwhile, my own army has been viciously attacking, and the child looks close to death. But I feel no mercy and let my creatures continue.
In a last feeble attempt, the child tries poisoning my dragon, but it's too late. I walk over, a bolt of ice in hand, and finish her. I look through her belongings, but all she has is a measly coin.
After some more journeying, I stumble across somebody around the same age as me. He looks at me, then pulls out his deck of cards. I sigh. It seems as if all people do here is fight. I guess I won't be getting any answers from him either. I proceed to brutally murdering him as well. I'm starting to like my icy powers.

After slaughtering many of those foul Amazonians and not getting any legendary drops, Rodorino came up to a cave dug into the middle of mountain. Inside the cave was the Amazonian's chieftain , a huge hulking male by the name of MickBrass. He just so happens to be the first male of this tribe that he had seen. Behind the brute was a quavering little grey skinned girl chained to a obscenely large mattress. As soon as she saw Rodorino, she started crying for help. With a backhand swing of his meaty fist, MickBrass knocked her off of the bed, breaking the chains in the process. She flew into the wall and collapsed against the floor, not moving. Rodorino knew he could not defeat this brute in a fair fight, so he started to panic. "How can I get that girl out of here safely? How would I be able to even get to her? That brute is blocking the path!", he said to himself. "Leave now if you want to live!" a deep sultry voice rolling through the chamber said. "The nymph girl is mine." Feeling his will falter beneath the tones of the voice, he looked around for the source of the voice. The only two beings in the room besides him were the little girl, and the chieftain. His shock at the voice of the chieftain speaking broke his stupor, and reaching into his bag he flung a vial of poison at the beast. It did not matter that he could not hit the broad side of a barn when using objects from a distance, this guy was practically big as a castle. The poison vial shatters against the being's broad metallic colored chest and started eating away at his flesh. Roaring with pain, the beast picked up a club bigger than two Rodorinos and the little girl put together. Charging at Rodorino, he swings the massive club as easily as Rodorino would swing a butter knife. Dodging to the side, Rodorino attempted to reach in his bag again to pull another item out, but he did not dodge fully. The club made contact with his left arm and turned the bone to dust from the impact. The pain dimming his senses, he clumsily reached into his bag in the hopes of pulling out his weapon. The creature beginning to charge again, Rodorino pulled out the statue of the Dragon of Ice. He threw it at the beast to distract it enough so that he could reach into his bag again. The beast swings his club at it like a bat and shatters the statue in the air. A flash of light, and a rush of cold wind blew through the cavern as out of the broken statue came a dragon of pure deep blue ice. Every time its wings moved flapped, cold drafts of air blew through the room, covering everything with layers of frost. The beast swung his bat at the dragon roaring with fury and pain, but the poison had finally started to get to it. Its blow knocked the dragon to the side, cracking it in the process. Blue liquid started to leak from the dragons wound. As soon as it hit the floor, the temperature dropped even further. Bellowing with a sound much like glaciers grinding against each other, the dragon started attacking the chieftain. Watching in awe as these two titanic beasts fought, Rodorino realized the dragon was on the losing end of the battle. As the blue liquid drained from the dragon, it grew smaller and less blue. Rodorino ran to grab the little girl and started to run out of the room. Realizing he should help the dragon out, he rached into his bag one last time. Pulling out his wand of crystal, he shot a bolt of pure ice at the two fighting beasts. The ice splashed over the dragon, not effecting it one iota, and froze the mighty bronze arm that held the club. Roaring with fear as the ice started to spread up toward the weapon, he tried to let the club go before it froze. Poison still sapping his strength, he started to fall in the direction of the massive weight of the frozen arm and club duo. As soon as it made contact with the ground, it shattered with a sound so loud, Rodorino could barely hear it. The dragon got the full brunt of the sound, and as it traveled along the dragons frame, it shattered into a cloud of mist. Swooshing back into the shape of a dragon, the mist solidified and fell to floor at Rodorino's feet. Picking it up he instinctively knew he wouldn't be able to summon this dragon again. Least not until he could figure out how to recharge the energy in it. Picking the girl back up, he left the cavern, his boneless arm still flapping with wet sounds behind him.
100 wins.
49 losses.
On the way back to his home, he stopped at a town to get food for the little girl. People stared at her as they walked through the town. He heard them muttering about death, and cells, and evil. He decided to get the food and to eat it on the walk back home. Outside the town he is beset upon by a group of vagabonds. "Give us the girl, and we'll let you live!" they say with a sneer. Least, that's what they would be saying if he hadn't called out a blue crawler from its statue. The size of a small dog, and as fast as a cheetah, the creatures tentacles and 6 legs make it more than a match for these vagabonds. Once he started getting close to the town, he started hearing screams and bellows of pain and fear. And rising above those was a sound that chilled his spine...The giggling laughter of a being who enjoyed tormenting the weak. It was a sound that just screamed "evil." He started running, the little girl trying to keep up. he makes it to his home, and finds it in shambles. A being who moved like liquid was holding one of the elders up by his neck,with a trident held in one of its other hands.The other elders lay around the compound, some of them missing legs, some missing arms, and others missing heads. Rodorino yells to try and distract the strange being. Looking at him, the being laughs, and started speaking with a voice that went from something as melodious as a bubbling brook to something as rough as two stones of granite being drug down a chalk board. "I am Terrius, the scion of a union born of the elements of Earth and Water. Bow before me, for I can drown you, or crush you where you stand." With that, Terrius stabbed the elder he was holding with his trident, then dropped him on the ground. Pointing his trident toward Rodorino, he tells him "You're next young one." With that he started rolling across the ground toward Rodorino and the girl. Reaching into his bag, Rodorino draws out his weapon, the holy sword Morning Star. "Go hide," he tells the girl. As she runs off, he summons a blue crawler and tells it to go watch over her. He then summons another blue crawler, and channeling the holy power within the sword he blesses the creature. The creature grows in size to be as big as a horse, and as strong as a rhino. He tells it to attack Terrius who stopped a few yards away, and is now regarding Rodorino with interest. "Boy," Terrius says,"you are an interesting specimen, you might be more fun that those puny old toys who couldn't handle playing with me. The blessed blue crawler keens in a high pitched squeal and disappears from your sight, appearing behind Terrius almost instantly. It's tentacles swish through the air to grab hold of one of Terrius's arms. With barely an instants pause, Terrius summons the power of the cold to freeze the crawler. The now helpless creature is stuck there until the effect wears off. Poking the creature with his trident, Terrius grunts. He realizes he wont be able to move with the crawler holding onto his arm, so he rips the arm off. He turns back toward Rodorino just in time to see him swinging the shining white blade at his face. He blocks the blade with his trident. Rodorino jumps out of the way so that the golden dragon he called can attack. The shining dragon lights up the night with a blast that rivals the sun. Wounded and now afraid, Terrius starts to flee. Rodorino uses his sword to bless the frozen blue crawler a second time. The blessing melts the ice, and the creature grows in size and power to rival the light dragon. With the light dragon harrying it from the air, and the blue crawler blocking its retreat, Terrius uses the power of his trident to cause an earthquake. Rodorino reaches into his bag for his wand, then cast a bolt of ice at Terrius. It didn't freeze him, but it did manage to slow him enough that Rodorino could catch up. Terrius, now almost finished, starts to beg for his life. "I can give you power beyond compare. Riches to boggle the mind. You would never wa..." With a final slash of the holy blade, Rodorino cuts Terrius' head off. He calls for the little girl, and his other blue crawler. "We'll go rest in a cave tonight." he says. They walk off into the distance, the dead and dying behind them.
Oracle Gift and Oracle Story
(http://i.imgur.com/sdbVMm2.png)
Later that night, Rodorino wakes up. He looks around and sees the little girl peacefully sleeping beside his body. He does wonder why he can see himself, but isn't that worried. He has more pressing concerns. Most notably, a buzzing in his ears, calling him outside the cave. As he ducks through the cave entrance, he sees a fat man in the distance waving at him. As he walks up to the fat man, the fat man tells him to follow him. "I am the Oracle, and I will explain some things. Please save your questions until the end. That creature you fought earlier was a Halfblood. It is a cross between two of the 12 major elements in the world. Though, there are some halfbloods who are half human, but they are rare. That girl you have with you, she is a nymph. She is a notable example of the second type of halfblood. She is the daughter of Death, and as such, she can use some of His powers. You should keep her safe, as when she learns how to use her power, she will become a valuable ally. she does need to unlock her power though, and you will help her with that. You have to name her. But not any old name, you have to get her name from communing with Death himself. I will help you with that. In the distance there, do you see those pillars? Those are elementals. They are not the Original elementals, but instead pieces that fell off when the elementals were fighting for dominion. The bigger the elemental is, the more power you will be able to draw from that element, and the more beings you will be able to summon. Be careful though, draw from a single elemental too much, too often, and you wont have that elemental to use when you need it later. Do you notice how the water elemental is waning? Thats because you drew from its power too much from it when you fought MickBrass, and then drew even more to fight those bandits and Terrius. Give the elemental some time to regain her energy, or you'll be in for a rude awakening later. Also, when you name the girl, her powers will be locked into the elemental you commune with to get her name. So when she uses her powers, she'll be borrowing your elemental's energy." Now that hes done explaining, he proceeds to ask Rodorino if he had any questions. Looking pleased when Rodorino shakes his head, he proceeds to hand Rodorino a handful of coins, and summons a pet to help protect Rodorino on his travels. "Every now and then, I'll bring you back here to commune with a random element each day. Each time you do, you will learn a new power from that element. Tonight though, you will commune with the death element to learn the girls name." With that the Oracle steps out of the way and pushes Rodorino into the death elemental pillar. Reeling from the shock of making contact with Death, Rodorino is immersed in power. Images of flies buzzing around corpses piled high, images of disease rotting people from the inside out, images of the cold beyond, and even images of the dead themselves getting out of their graves and stepping back in the light of day to fight for a cause they never knew in life. Falling backwards, his senses still reeling, the images fade away, leaving a word in their place: Samarissa. His eyes closes, his consciousness fades, as that word burns itself into his mind like a brand. Waking later, he sees the girl still sleeping next to him. Musing over his dream, he remembers the word. "Your name is Samarissa," he says to the sleeping girl. As he says the name, she shivers in her sleep and makes a little happy sound. Pulling the blanket over her, he sits in the entrance of the cave until she wakes in the morning. "Good morning Samarissa," he says, with a gentle smile on his face. "Is that name for me?" Samarissa asks. "Indeed it is." "Samarissa is happy." she proclaims. She then sits in the cave entrance beside him. They both stare into the distant lands, each thinking their own thoughts. Each wondering what the new day will Bring.
EDIT>Forgot to post deck I was using.

I get up at dawn and set off again. There's no point in sleeping any longer than that. I need to find out where I am and who I am as well.
I suddenly stop. It's the fat man again. Did I go in a circle? No way, I made sure that I kept going the same direction I was going yesterday..
I tentatively walk up to him, and get the same response as yesterday. He hands me a few coins, a fortune, and a pillar, this time one from the element of Death. This time, my battle aid is a measly Virus. I would've killed it if it weren't for the fact that it's on my side.
I take the gifts and keep going. I come to a strange little building labeled "The Elder Warehouse". The door was open, and I step in.
It seems to be empty, but when I walk in, the door closes behind me and a light turns on, revealing an old woman shuffling a deck of cards.
This must be some sort of fight club then. I get in a ready stance and pull out my own deck.
A lady carrying an umbrella walks into the middle of the room, right in between the old man and me. She counts down from three, then lifts the umbrella and floats up. I stare up at her for a second. My first blunder.
The old woman was fast, faster than I could've imagined. She threw out her cards like throwing stars, slicing cleanly onto the ground and sprouting pillars. I quickly focus and get my own pillars out.
Her method of summoning cards was frightening. I quickly got my trusty shield of ice and readied myself for anything.
She pulls out a card and throws it in the air, which transforms into a beautiful blue bow. She catches it and aims it at me. A blast of air like an arrow hit my shield, but the impact still hurt. Her power was amazing.
She then followed up with a blast to something beside me. I look over and see a dead Virus. I had forgotten about the gift the fat man had given me, and now I didn't even have my small advantage.
A bit angered, I throw a blade of ice at her, and to my surprise, the ice completely engulfed the bow, freezing it solid. I let out a small sigh of relief as I get my ferocious Ice Dragon onto the field. I'm on the attack now.
The old woman cowers a bit at my dragon's powerful blows, and I almost feel pity for her, taking blows without even a basic shield to protect herself. But I push that thought to the back of my head. I already made the mistake of being distracted once, I'm not going to make that same mistake again.
She finally manages to pull out a creature: a queen of some sorts. It flutters around and scratches me with its long bug arms. Thankfully, it hits a particular spot on my shield, and it freezes as well.
It seems as if she isn't too powerful after all. I pull out a Chrysaora and let it do its job, since I'd gotten some Quantum Pillars out earlier. The old woman cried out as the poisonous stinger injected itself into her arm.
She uses her other arm to get out another bug queen, all the while gripping the spot where the stinger had penetrated her skin, which was starting to bleed. But, I point a finger at it, and it freezes immediately as well. I let my creatures attack, my Chrysaora getting in three more stings. But, I get a bit too cocky, and that's blunder number two. I hadn't noticed that her bow had thawed out, and with a mighty blast, it shot down my Ice Dragon. It flailed around a bit in the air, then as it started to steady itself, the old woman clapped with such force that a huge shockwave bursted out, utterly pulverizing my dragon.
I sent out a Blue Crawler to compensate for the loss, but she shoots that down too. My Chrysaora gets in an additional sting before it too is shot down.
I start to sweat nervously. Her queens had thawed and were starting to spawn fireflies, which flew around me, their bright lights shining in my eyes, making it difficult to concentrate. Meanwhile, she pulled out some artifacts that I know no name for, and they start glowing with a bright green light. The light moved from her creatures to herself, seemingly healing her. She was getting her energy back, and if I didn't kill her soon, she would be back in tip top shape.
I fumble around, the lights all getting into my head. I stumble, then find the energy to shoot one last bolt of ice. Unfortunately, she's already healed too much, and she shrugs off the hit.
The old woman takes out one final card before I succumb to the army of bugs: a Hope.
She has Hope. My eyes close. I do not.
I wake up outside of the building, my cards scattered around me. There was a folded piece of paper next to me. I sit up and unfold it.
"Come back when you're more experienced. Thank you, the Elders"
I clench my fist. I will beat them to a pulp. But they have a point. I need to train. I get up, gather my cards, then head back to hopefully find some different opponents.
Tada.

This time it's a pillar composed of flames and an Ash Eater. I walk away silently from the fat man. I've accepted the fact that I'll probably pass by him everyday no matter which way I journey.
I have traveled back to the place where I met the grown man, and I've faced many adults in battles, winning against all of them. It appears that occasionally, a spare card will fall out of their deck after I win. I collect them, but so far I have yet to find another card of Water. A pity really, I do want to try and improve my deck to prepare for my rematch with that Elder.
As I slice down a lady who appears to be in her thirties with my dual blades of ice, I see a huge army of what appears to be Crusaders marching down a mountain far to the east. I stare at them in fascination. Who could have enough power to be master over so many creatures? I shrug, take the lady's coins, then walk off. None of my business I suppose.
After fighting off a man dressed up in vacation attire using a deck of Life, Air, and Gravity, I decide to call it quits for the day. None of the people I've fought dropped any cards today. Quite frustrating really, but I know that I must be patient if I want to even think about going back to the Elders.
I sit back and relax.

Oracle Card: Fog Shield (Dragonfly Pet)
Played an AI1 as a warmup, then moved on to AI2s.
Won a Hematite Golem on game 9/10 of minimum 10 games. Law of averages, I guess. Swapped Graboid out for it after 10th game.
Against all odds, won a Nova on game 10/10. 2 more and I might actually get to make a crapbow.
Current Deck and Stats:
Score: 252
W/L: 50/1
Electrum: 912
Arena Level: 4
Cards Gained:
+ Fog Shield
+ Hematite Golem
+ Nova
EDIT: Realized that I just passed the halfway mark for 500 (rare quest), decided to play a bit more.
Played an AI2, decided to try playing an AI3 to see how much my deck could stomach. Always a comforting sight to start with a 1-pillar hand against the hardest opponent you could pick a plausible fight with. He had 5 HP, I had 7, got my Gravity Shield stolen so his Raged VDolls could beat me down. Whoops.
Decided to play one more AI3, out of curiosity. Time/Gravity/Life AI, got a much better pillar start this time. Main concern is to beat the Scarab Swarm, ofc. Otyugh hits the field, pretty sure I'm safe. Win a Golden Hourglass a few turns later.
Hadn't realized my deck could take on AI3s. Might try playing them more often next time I run this.

It apparently also means I have power over minerals, metals and terrestrial beings. I can also take advantage of advanced shields that reduce the damage inflicted to me. That's pretty cool.

So, I was given this deck. Seems pretty good, but I don't like green combined with brown, it just doesn't seem to fit.
I want to take out those quantum pillars too, they don't fit my deck either, but it says I'm not allowed to go under 30 cards :(
Ok, taking out 2 quantum pillars. Hm, graboid, turns into shrieker. It's that 8/3 that I have already, right? That's pretty good. There's no way those quantum pillars will give me the quantum, hmm. Oh, I can change marks. For free. That's awesome! Ok, time mark should do, for now. I now have this deck, which looks way better:
That quantum pillar really bothers me. The dagger is awesome though, 2 damage/0 cost = infinite value.
Quest 1: Defeat AI 0.
That shouldn't be too hard.
Yep, it wasn't. Elemental master! Does that mean I won the game already? Hmm, this feeling, no, it must be more to this game.
Aww, yeah, 10 :electrum.
Quest 2: Modify your deck.
Done already, another 20 :electrum ~
Quest 3: Bazaar.
Ok, but my mom told me I am not allowed to buy things from the bazaar. Ok, selling one quantum pillar and getting it back real quick.
30 :electrum !
Quest 4: Defeat AI 1.
Ok, it shouldn't be too difficult either. I wonder what that "???" at the end means. Some kind of boss, I guess.
Damn, lost by one turn because I drew too many pillars. Ok, let's give it another try.
YES! Oh, I get to play casino after each win, huh. That's awesome! I already love this game. Ok, let's roll. Bleh, lost. Well, maybe I'll get it next time.
35 :electrum !
Quest 5: Defeat AI 2.
Ok...I had to give it two tries to defeat the last one. I wonder how many tries I'll need to defeat this one. Oh, it gives me more electrum and more spins, ok, let's do this.
Won first try, yay! But my hand was really good, so I guess it isn't the time to celebrate yet. Ok, spin time. Let's try "spin" this time instead of the "spin all".
Spin 1: Nope.
Spin 2: Almost won a blue sphere card. According to bazaar, it's a purify. Meh, it wouldn't fit in my deck anyway. It seems like you win 5 electrum if you are in the "close enough" case at spins.
Quest 6: Earn 150 score.
Wat. I have 10. Well, this is going to take a while, but man, 150 electrum, it's going to be totally worth it.
Ok, some "Oracle" button is flashing. Always click flashy buttons right? Or was it don't press? Whatever, let's do it!
Woah! You fatso, you scared me. You're the one who's going to be telling me my fortune, huh? Ok, let's see what you've got for me.
(http://i.imgur.com/oXzDIGA.png)
Aether Pillar? Are you kidding me? Screw you, man. Wait, 20 free :electrum and a random cool pet for 3 matches? Ok, sorry for calling you fatso, you aren't that bad actually <3 I can come here tomorrow too? Thanks dude, you're awesome! Ah, right, I must not forget to read my actual fortune.
"The world will feel like a foreign place, but if you're quick, you'll learn the language in time." Hm, you actually described how I learned english. Still cool, though. See you around, Oracle!
By the way, who is this Octane dude? A false god? Where do I fight those *Oracle vanishes* Aw, it seems like I'll have to find out myself, must be that "???" button. Well, I suppose I must finish my quest first. Ok, let's continue.
Ok, let's try this AI 3.
Wow, an emerald dragon as pet! That's awesome. A 10 cost creature for free. This oracle dude is so cool, I can't wait to see him again.
Hm, their deck seems way better organized, but so is mine! (well, not really...)
Lobotomizer, I don't remember seeing this card in the bazaar, must be some pay to win exclusive card, bleh, I thought this game was different. *searches for all elements cards*. Wow, it's actually just a rare card, no pay to win content, ok, sorry Elements, it seems I was wrong about you, you're still the best card game <3
Ok, that was pretty easy. It looks like just having rare cards doesn't mean you're going to win every time, ok, spin time! Oh, 3 of them.
Spin 1: Nope.
Spin 2: Nope.
Spin 3: Immortal!!!! So you mean that card can never ever die? Even more infinite value than my dagger.
*After some time*
Ok, that's it for today. I added one of those "arena" decks as well, even though I have no idea what they do. Oh well, it looks like it gives me some cash.

and thus treebeard xiv found himself reborn with a new affinity once more after the ever present aetheric world he found himself in a land of chaos and chance I world he plans to conquer much more effectively that his old home.
He started with these tools at his disposal
from the teaching of his grandpappy treebeard xiii he learned that this strange concoction known as mutagen can turn the most basic of skeletons into monsters of alarming strength though this force if not always reliable. With this knowledge in mind he decided to discard some tools to produce this

wins 6 losses 3
After a short stint in this new world xiv found that this chemical called mutagen was prone to killing his pets a and realised that he is going to need to scavenge a lot of resources from his fallen foes to mount a full scale conquest he had heard legends of the fat traveller who can provide resources to the early conqueror was hoping he would meet this individual on his second day.

wins 41 losses 26 score 130
After a nice long sleep xiv found himself awakened by a knocking on his hotel room door, upon answering he was greeted but the fat traveller he had heard so much about he said some mumbo jumbo about fortunes and presented him with a small bag of gold and a new tool. This tool he said was the pandemonium spell book. Unsure what this book did xiv preceded to read the tome before going to the war fields. He deciphered that the pandemonium spell can be a very powerful weapon hit the entire field with random effects after adding this new spell to his arsenal he noticed the little cat sat patiently next to him he couldn't tell if it was alive or dead. He remembered the fat traveller mentioned something about a pet that would accompany him into his next three battles he assumed this is what he meant. After killing multiple level two creatures and acquiring some spoils of war xiv heard a voice in his head congratulating him on achieving a score of 150 whatever that meant he was presented with yet another money pouch. After this he moved on to the beings known as elders starting of with his strange duo with a new pandemonium in it he realised this deck was not yet capable of fighting these elder beings, so he scattered what tools he had around his room and decided upon the best toolbox he could thus he bought some strange artifacts from a wandering salesmans that were supposedly capable of producing any the power he could desire he went anbout constructing this mutagen based toolbox
this proved to be more effective at defeating elder beings though some very hungry creatures called otyughs made things very difficult along with some bow weilding faeries who seemed to be able to infinitely summon new creatures. xiv was finding himself downhearted the spoils were not dropping as frequently as he needed but eventually a fellow mutater after being impressed by xiv performance with what little mutagen he had gave him a being that was supposed to infinitely mutate creatures. After thanking the fellow xiv preceded to add this new being to his toolbox it proved valuable in the few battles he managed to use this being. After a tiring day xiv returned to his hotel room placed down his toolbox and reviewed it. hoping the next da would bring more tools for him.

Won a Stone Dragon on game 1/5. Genuinely welcome sight even if I can't really use it.
Won a Dune Scorpion on game 4/5. I've got 2 Momentums from Gravity starter, so I guess it could work in a crapbow. Still need Novas though.
Won a Reverse Time on game 5/5. Hm...
Decided to try a Bronze run in an attempt to get a rare. At this point it's all about building a card base one can work with. Quickly busted by MonoAethers; that'll teach me. I need a decent shield in an element I have enough cards of; I do have Fog Shield and Wings, but they're also my only :air cards. Gravity Shield doesn't cut it against rushbows, Immortals, and Psions.

Against all odds, I make a functioning crapbow. After a bit of trial and error, determine that :time mark for GoTPs is probably less practical than :aether mark for my more expensive :aether cards, and that's still a bit shaky. Might ultimately go :gravity mark and have more :gravity cards when I'm feeling better.
AI taunts me with Explosion, Steal, and FFQ today, but ultimately doesn't give me anything.

JCJ NBC Update
So, I have played quite a lot, and made many iterations of crapbows, including my now 3 SoSes, but none of them feel as good as my now semi-upgraded Air/Fire domin. The 2 OE and 2 SoFr really give the edge over a lot of the Silver Meta. Having said that, I's nice to have options for crapbows to give a little variation to my relentless grind.

For example: I have a spark and you have a photon. I sell the spark and buy the photon and you sell the photon and buy the spark.
Of course, this only works for cards that are in the bazaar, but it would make it less boring to keep hunting for a certain card imo.

Ability to upgrade cards gives you the ability to progress through the game in a normal way. If you can't upgrade cards, you can't win against FGs, or Platinum. Not being able to upgrade cards makes the challenge quicker, not slower, because your end-game is hampered so much that it makes it sort of pointless.
No, that's not true. You can win against AI4 with unupped decks, and AI4 can spin you upped cards. It will take you longer to go from an unupped deck which can beat AI4 to an upped deck that can beat False Gods or Gold/Platinum (and there is a debate to be had over whether Gold or Platinum is actually more profitable), but it's completely possible.
Besides, isn't the entire premise of this thread progressing through the game in a way that's not the normal way? If it were the normal way, then you could use the Bazaar, just like everybody else.

I believe the reason to give players the option to upgrade their cards was because it's a bit too hard to make the jump from unupped/semi-upped to FG/Plat grinder with just random scraps from AI4. Maybe you could try the added challenge and post results?
Yeah, I've been thinking about giving it a go, once I've got my current account up to level 80.

OutOfUsernames is a good username.
Fun fact, as soon as you slimline your deck, you can grind Bronze since there are so many 1 HP decks.
Cards Earned
- Pandemonium from Oracle
- Graviton Mercenary

Achievements
Built decent Bronze/Silver grinder
Modded Gravitybow (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/rainbow-decks/gravitybow-(unuppedupped)(bronze)(1-32)/), generally wins unless I get crap draws.
Built usable Gold/Plat grinder
Mostly unupped Swallow. Kinda works, still need to grind out those upgrades.
Built usable FG grinder
It's not really efficient, but with some luck, it can grab a few wins. I'd rather grind Silver or Plat though.
Hit Gold Arena
Whee level 40.

It is done. The elemental planes will bathe in fire and lightning to become the final crucible where you must prove your right to survive. The reign of the weak is over.

Bronze/Silver/Gold may be farmed, but:
No spinning from 1hp decks
No special spins
Updating as I see fit. The old NBC account wasn't fun to play with anymore.

Played AI2 once to unlock oracle. Had a few close calls vs AI1 (usually involving arse or eternity), finally lost game 35 vs antimatter
Oracle card: Basilisk Blood
1030 score at 145-52. First edit was winning an OE, swapped 2 daggers for wind pillar+oe. Was able to nab a win off AI4 with that build, got lucky with them spamming fractal on dragonflies against a solar shield. Aside: I'm going for absolutely no bazaar, so no shopping for pillars. Which made getting my second water pillar drop pretty exciting. AI3 has a lot of good stuff for blessed pegs, tried out sky blitz with 4th wind pillar but was too often a dead card or not much. Dropped solar shield to run 4 pegs + 4 bless, but was finding poor results. Seems Solar Shield is good in a slow meta that's pretty wide & AI misplays PC on it often enough. Once I got up to 6 blessings I found success by cutting down to 3 pegs. Seemed games where I play 3 pegs don't go as well as ones where I play 1 pegs. Took awhile stuck in a limbo of 950-1000 score while experimenting
Should be able to go after AI4 if I can pick up miracle/fog
209-119 2nd OE opened up reducing air cards to 4 pillars 2 oe, fits in a 4th pegasus. Was able to get a Silurian Dragon off AI4

Played the starter running :fire cards off the mark for a bit, got some decent bow cards so I switched to a :life bow pretty early. Winrate vs AI3 wasn't great, a lot of it depended on whether I drew my Dragon or not. Got 7 weapons before 500 score quest and rolled with Pulvy and Lobo for a while, decided to go for the free Vagger with that and my first upgrade because it was just too good to pass up. Finally spun a second Dragon at the end of Day 1. Toughest matchups were rainbow, aether, and steamies. It's very annoying that rainbow has all the best cards, but it's also the hardest and it gives the least spins because most cards are one or two ofs.
Day 2 I grinded up to my second upgrade, while trying to figure out what to do I realized that I had 4 Blessings and just enough good targets to make a decent buffbow. After some testing and deliberation, I decided to go with Arse for the second upgrade over other options because it would be more useful long term. Was originally going to go Giant Frog but I just wasn't getting many good :life cards from spins to make a mono with. Ended up with this deck that I used to beat serp and iancu. Got 2 Blessings from spins but unfortunately no Lycan or Mutation.
The various creature interaction cards in both of these decks lead to a surprising number of tactical decisions which prevented the grind from getting boring.

Day 3 I started trying half-bloods. I only have around a 50% winrate so electrum gain is slow, but the chance to gain upgraded cards is worth it. Got a few nice ones already. Minor Vampire is MVP of the deck.

Especially those quantum pillars... or is only serp playing it no ppms from bazaar? As I noticed AI1-3
never gives pends/pillars. Playing no ppm mode seems to really lock the player. Entropy starts with
10 pillars, that's problematic.

Like to ask a few questions regarding this NBC. Link how did you get so many cards in so little time?

Only serp is doing no pillar pend buying.
Post by: serprex on May 21, 2020, 03:00:18 am

False. I've rolled all my non initial PPMs (3 water towers, 1 time pend) off AI3
Post by: Linkcat on May 21, 2020, 08:25:48 am
I'm more curious about how serp got upped cards off of AI3. :P
Post by: Wyand on May 21, 2020, 10:46:44 am
Played 40 so far, got these from rolls:
Dagger
Reverse Time
Druidic Staff (Oracle)
Graviton Mercenary
Stone Skin
Firefly Queen (Oracle)
Chaos Seed.
10 amethyst pillar is really a bottle neck, those few losses happened mostly due to having 0-1 ppm start.
(I sorta feel Zanz thought :entropy is the best starter, otherwise I have no idea why it is the only element
with less than 12 in-element pillar.)
I can understand why veterans like this, I remember the time when we started playing Doom fist only or played very restrictive
character builds in Diablo II.
Current deck:
BB, Cata, Pharaoh and a Toadie so far from 10 games. :) And I've seen pillars rollin'. :D
serp you crazy man with those zillions of games. Don't waste your life, pls. No irony.
Post by: DoubleCapitals on May 21, 2020, 02:09:18 pm
It means that it is my usual RNG that I haven't even seen a single PPM rolled in those games.
iirc, the spin algorithm purposely tries not to pick PPMs unless it fails to find a non-PPM n times?
Post by: Linkcat on May 21, 2020, 08:41:58 pm
Post by: Wyand on May 22, 2020, 10:28:04 am
In AI3 you only have a "good" chance to get pillars against decks which has at least 15 ppms like the bow (tons of QPs)
or the :fire :water duo (tons of pillars). Many AI3 decks has much less PPMs than those. Had no ppms in 82 games, saw them
rolling about 5 times...

Oracle: Graboid \o/
I played against Linkcat's NBC with this deck; won 2-1, although I wasn't using this deck in the lost game. Link got screwed by quanta twice over though.

Oracle: Thunderstorm
Yay for upped Crusader spin \o/
Many tweaks favoring control over damage.
Started playing AI4. Got some cards that can't be obtained from non-random deck AIs, but I kept getting screwed by :aether, :earth and :gravity AIs, which made up like half my matches.
I still want Nova, Pulvy and another grower/Graboid q.q
Oracle: Silence
Spun cards: GotP, Life Pendulum, Poison, Rustler, Heal, Blessing, FFQ, 2xFate Egg, Blue Crawler
So close to getting Supernova from AI4 >.<
Got mad at AI4 today, AI2 & 3 didn't help with spins playing with my heart ),: (Almost got pulvy and another forest spirit...)
[2020-05-25 18:02:38] ‹Naii_the_Baf›
(6d10) 3 + 8 + 7 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 21 ...
[2020-05-25 18:03:01] ‹Naii_the_Baf› These rolls and spins...
[2020-05-25 18:03:09] ‹Naii_the_Baf› Today's not a good day for NBC :(
Oracle: Dim Shield
Spun cards: Demon, Discord, Afla, Sapphire Charger, Oty, Shrieker, Blue Crawler, Hope, Firefly, OE, Dune Scorpion, GotP, Dim Shield, Quint, Pande^, Overdrive, Desiccation
Okay, maybe not so bad.
Finally can farm AI4 far more reliably thanks to Oty and Demon from AI3. Although Demon always gets killed when I draw it early q.q
Lost many games due to being 1 quanta short of playing BW. Should upgrade it.

Did you make this? this is a cool little tracker table
Yep, thx. :) I'm prone to such fiddlings, maybe I like to waste my time with (half-)pointless meticulous things. :D
If anyone has the patience to edit it they may freely use it for such purposes.

all cards - whether we are talking about a no bazaar contest or normal elements play (without a broken arena ofc).
Playing AI4 is toss, and frankly I can do that with a coin alone. It really doesn't force you to be more creative because
everything relies on your rolls. Had 3-6 stat against AI4, and had only a Voodoo Doll from rolls. FFS. Too bad all such games love
to operate as a Skinner's box instead of rewarding efforts righteously. For example it could rate decks by their strength
the strength of the other deck and give a better card from the opponent's deck if it was a great win. Or I could choose from
the strongest cards if I had a difficult win (with a weaker deck - used smartly) and only weaker cards would be available to
pick if we steamrolled the opponent with an op deck. Ofc you cannot rule out luck from these games, but some nicer reward
system is needed. It isn't about skills again, just "good ol' grinding" à la Diablo II. -.-

Sorry Wyand, you're off on another tangent. Yes, it's about grinding. No, it's not a crapshoot, the fact that you're disregarding AI4 shows you aren't making the most efficient play. Yes, nbc was more fun when arena was a thing. Yes, cg's actually gone on & made nbc variants in oetg where we still have an arena & rewards have less variance since you always win 1 random card from deck. & yeah, original elements has a brutal progression curve
Amusingly enough cg happened to grind a ridiculous amount of diablo II (great screenshot of 49 level 90+ toons..), so no surprise there's no shyness about a self constructed challenge tapping into those grind feels. All about optimizing your efficiency
btw 3-6 is a terrible sample. Thankfully we've a thread with 1179 wins sampled: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/farming-studies-and-statistics/ai4halfblood-stats-thread-(1-321)-decks-and-spin-chance
~30% drop rate, ~10% upped card drop rate

It is a crapshoot in a way that your success much more depends on which sort of AI4 you get to play. As iancu mentioned AI4 is
faster because you often get rekt very quickly.
Of course you can optimize your deck but when you have so little option to change that optimization won't change that much.
At least for me it isn't worth the pain.

Some patience. Tbh I wasn't a fan of battle.net play because of the economy (filled with ridiculously overpowered runewords - and the runes where basically found by bots and/or duped...).
Battle.net was interesting only because of special events. Nice offtopic, heh.

I know it is a small sample but looking at my cards it won't be much better playing 100 games vs ai4.
Btw my point - if it wasn't understandable - I'd like to have some fun when playing. Even if it is a hard challenge. It was fun playing AI3, having all sort
of epic wins with ragtag group of cards, but it sorta loses its thrill after a while. Percentages and optimization won't help. Not saying you shouldn't enjoy it,
was merely pointing out some stuff how to improve on the experience - but sadly we don't have a dev around.

Yes, unless you're serp.
