One of the strategies in elements involves a fire/aether combo. Where the player sends out a minor phoenix, which is unlikley to be killed. They then use cremation followed by fractual to spam a couple of dozen more minor phoenixes, which wipes out almost any opponent. Because of cremation, it's not possible to prevent the player gaining the mana needed, whilst shields won't work due to explosion
It's pretty clear there's no skill whatsoever with this strategy. It is purely dependent on whether the player has a minor phoenix, cremations and a fractual, pretty early on. Chances are, they will.
But this is all luck. A knowledgeable opponent will know exactly how they will play, but there's nothing they can do to stop it. All that knowledgeable opponent can do is hope the phoenix spammer has a poor run of cards. So there's no skill influencing the outcome.
Elements is, generally, a pretty skill based game. But this strategy is purely based on luck, and it doesn't exactly make for interesting battles either. So this is a bad thing in elements.
Something should be done to ban this strategy, and ensure elements most skilful players are the ones who flourish.
