4 pharoah cards, but no miracles or arctic squids

[seulintse]

ummmmmm... I have 4 pharoah cards, and no arctic squids or miracles. I know you can only get cards out of the slot machine that the opponents deck uses (minus nymphs of course), and I think it increases by the more copies that they have, but... seriously? yeah, I know grinding will help alot, but its kinda weird and... that one rare card or weapon you have way too many of.

Grind less AI3

and grind what? actually, I got those (most of anyways) off AI4. Open to suggestions. Seriously, I am.

From what I can glean of your posts, you are likely going to find (whatever) cards you're looking for in the arena.

Start with Bronze (It's a little more difficult than AI3), and just keep at it. You'll soon get some weapon rares, and maybe some shards from the special spin, if you can win 5 games in a row.

After you either get bored, or want to try something more challenging, try your hand at Silver arena (this one is a little harder then AI4).

Once you can comfortably farm Silver, then you might try your luck in PvP-1.

After that, build a deck exclusively for False God (AI5) grinding. These will net upped cards, on successful spins.

For Gold, and later Platinum arenas, you will need some specific deck types, in order to grind with some rate of success.

thx for the input, although I did say I do AI4s currently (and before that, was trying to do the silver arena and managed to get a few shards and weapons (well fine, one ). Currently, I'm using a FFQ deck with a couple empathic bonds and a hope ;P

One Hope in a FFQ/Hope deck is not going to work well.

[seulintse]

meh... works well enough with a sanctuary and two empathic bonds... most times when I play with hope, I end up drawing both of them in the beginning or not at all.

FFQ decks have between 3 and 4 Hopes to ensure you get one early. I like having then ALL  pendulums, 6 Queens and 4-5 Empphatic bonds. No more random cards, except maybe 1 single Miracle.

For rare cards you should go fight Bronze. Bronze is full of Psions and mono Darkness, so if you want to go for FFQ I would suggest aiming the healing more for the Sanctuaries and 1 reflective shield.
