This is just a plain and simple question, which element do you think is the best one to choose when you start the game. The reason can be anything from best starting cards to easy to make a rush deck. One more thing, please do not argue over which element is better, Thanks :P

:life.

:aether is the best element, but not for rushing.



This is 1 of 2 of the best starter decks. I chose this one over :earth because it can be good for EMing, too, by swapping 3 Cockatrices for 3 Heals. If I were to restart, I would go down the :life path.

I chose darkness because I still use a horribly simple darkness deck for grinding AI3s when I have to. It has everything: permanent control, creature control, healing, good damage, and even quanta denial.

I pick :darkness because I started with it when I knew nothing about Elements, and managed to make an unupped deck on my own that was able to breeze through AI3.
When you come to the forum, and read peoples opinions and decks, everything becomes easier. But if I managed to do it on my own rather quickly, I guess its a good element to start with.
Though game was somewhat different then I guess.  ::)

I'd say  :fire.
Quickest you can get to T50 farming.

Darkness obviously, I started with a mono-dark deck and didn't know that the forums existed so I invented one of my own it work well till my neighbor build a better deck and i started chasing links till i got to the FORUMS there i found that I should change my mark ( because i was obbsesed with  :darkness and could not leave it), and just when i changed my mark to life because i was going to do Life Rush and i started defeating my neighbor. So I'd say  :darkness i started with that

I'd say fire. It owns totally in PvP1 (ofc some decks that are better, but I pretty much win 9/10 matches). If you win in PvP you get averagely a bit over 50E, while you get on average 20E from AI3, so you get money fast.

There are of course better decks, but they are rainbow and not starter decks.

:aether
It's the easiest to turn into a halfblood farmer and once you win 2 upgraded cards you can make most rush decks.

:fire is clearly the best because of 2 reasons:

1. :fire starting deck cards are the most expensive in the game, meaning that if you sell them all, you'll get the most money.

2. :fire can build great rush decks perfect for AI3 grinding.

Zanz and I talked about the costs for many of the fire cards. Immolation no longer sells for ridiculous sums of electrum, and I think some others have been tweaked as well. You can't sell the entire fire deck and build whatever you want anymore.

I voted to Darkness. Started this account using it. Quanta denial is very efficient giving you EMs over AI3.

Could have voted to Fire, too. Another very good.

And special mention to others that are pretty efficient as mono decks:
- Aether
- Gravity
- Life

Ps: I really dislike Graboid rush, wouldnt put Earth in this list.
