Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

[Drake_XIV]

As for the HOW:
The person you went up against had attained Mark cards, which can be won in Forum tournaments.  Unupgraded, if they are the same Mark as the player's, they will stack on top, showing that 4x Mark.

Rares can be attained from any means of battling besides PvP Duel.  This selection of winnable Rares does not include Marks or Nymphs.

The easiest way to guarantee a Rare win is to go into the Arena and challenge the Leagues, Bronze League being the easiest.  After you get a certain number of wins, you are given a Special Spin which consists mostly only of Rares and is among the easiest ways to earn Shards.

As for the WHY:
With that collection of cards, PvP1 should be easier to get money in.  And probably doesn't require any more rares.

You could always turn the quality to low.

Elements is a pretty simple flash game. If you're having trouble running it after turning the graphics to low, then your computer must need a little upgrading.. by upgrading, I mean buy a new computer

Mono Aether is decent against FGs that don't have excessive PC. I am not sure if it is best overall from the choices you have but it is the one that I use.

No. No. And no. Don't use mono-aether. Don't use Ghostmare. Start here.

When grinding AI3, is it better to use a deck which:

has a high win chance, but low to zero chance to EM
OR
has a moderate win chance, but when it wins, it has a high chance to EM

When grinding AI3, is it better to use a deck which:

has a high win chance, but low to zero chance to EM
OR
has a moderate win chance, but when it wins, it has a high chance to EM

Option 3: fast.

EM is almost irrelevant to AI3 (unless you're grinding for score), as most of the money from AI3 comes from the cards you win in the spins, and any unupped AI3 EM decks are slow, unreliable, or both.

What you want to do is find whatever deck gives you the most wins in X amount of time, so you pretty much need to look at both win rate and TTW.

For unupped AI3 grinding for money, in nearly all cases the best option is to make the fastest rush you can come up with without giving any thought whatsoever to defense. Not very many of the AI3 decks can move very fast, and if your rush winds up against a deck that puts out good enough defense to shut it down, you just lose/quit and move on to the next one. This broad strategy tends to produce the most money from AI3 unupped.

Of the two options you mentioned, I'd probably personally choose high win rate and low EM rate over high EM rate and mediocre win rate, since as I mentioned above, EM in AI3 is not a big concern unless you're score grinding.

Thanks for the response! I guess a follow up question would be when should I start score grinding? I have a lot of cards, a good number of rares, but very few upgraded cards. Do i start score grinding after i can upgrade several cards (i.e. having enough money to upgrade several cards)? Thanks again!
