There isn't much of a discussion that can be had here, and the forum section isn't even close to the right one. Deck Help is a specific section where you post your deck for critique, not start a poll on weapon preference.

Druid's Staff comes it at number one, just because it's so much fun gaining 60+ life a turn once you have a few Animated Adrenalined Quitessenced Druid Staves out.   Just don't choose it for your quest weapon, because it's easy to farm via AI3.

Then comes Pulverizer, and Eternity.  They're just too useful in a variety of rainbow decks.

Follow that up with Eagle's Eye (also easy to farm) and Lobotomizer.  Repeatable creature control = the win!

Then comes Titan, Morning Glory, then Arsenic and Fahrenheit.  Hard-to-stop damage and ever-increasing damage are good.

Second-to-last, we have Poseidon -- an excellent tool under very specific circumstances, but those circumstances are hard to find -- and so is a Poseidon!

Finally, we round off with Discord and Vampire Stiletto -- one of which is annoying, but not lethal; the other is measurably inferior to Druid Staff in every respect and needs a boost.  They basically suck.   Though I understand that Discord may be changing to eat quanta instead of scrambling it -- that would immediately bump it way up in the rankings.  :)

If something happens and you think it deserves my attention, feel free to PM me. Other than that, I'm probably here if you want to shoot the breeze.

i agree with most of the post.  one thing is that to make druid staff any good would require an animate weapon and adrenaline.  If you were to take that into consideration with all the other weapons, the rankings would change alittle.
With animate weapon and adrenaline, vampire stilleto moves up... alittle, arsenic moves up alot and so does titan (only way to get rid of titan is mutation or rewind).

I agree with most but animate weapon and adrenaline changes alot.  If there were no animate weapon and no adrenaline, druid staff goes down alot and the spell weapons move up alot too (i cry when i see an opponent with poseidon, rare though).

Last I checked, Arsenic DOES inflict two poison counters if Epinepherine'd.  FW + Epi + Arsenic can make a fast but brittle deck.

i made an arsenic deck in trainer that was very fast, and yes, very brittle.  I had epi-pufferfish too, which works better because you dont need an extra card to bring to play (animate wep).

I thought puffers were the only ones specifically NOT supposed to be epi'd?

they can be epi'ed but they do 2 poinson instead of 4.  still, 2 poisons plus 8 damage a turn is very strong.

 

anything
