How much better are certain decks at grinding?

[ratcharmer]

Hi

Basically I want to try and put together a study of how fast different decks will earn you electrum, and I need some volunteers to help.

What I need from you
Pick a deck from the forum, and grind AI3 with it for exactly one hour. When your finished post the deck you used and some basic stats on it.


- Please Post your Statistics in this form: (I blatantly stole this layout from Jmdt's ttw study)

Linked Deckname (http://Deckpost):
Electrum earned in 1 hour
Games: 50, Avg. ttw: 7.000 ttw, Avg. Time: 70 sec/game, Losses: 1, EM: 1 - posted by  -
List of cards, Mark.

-I'm looking for stats on a variety of different deck types, not just hardcore rush-grinders. Try to get at least a few stall and/or control decks in there.
-Try to stick to better known decks that are undeniably well-made. If you want to calculate the stats on your own deck more power to you, but mixing the results from top of the line decks and newly made experimental decks will bias the results.
-No pausing during the hour. If you must take a break pause the timer as well.
-DO NOT sell any cards, we're just looking at electrum earned, not cards. If you want you can record how many cards you won as well, but keep them separate.

I suppose I'll get things started. (double post, yeah, but I have new info)

To start with I tried Turin's unupped shrieker rush

As a note on playing this deck you'd probably be best off auto-quitting versus the aether stall AI3, but I didn't do that since it'd affect the results (2 losses are due to that AI3)

I'm sorry, but the information gathered here can still be gathered from the TTW study 2.0. Even tho the study does electrum gain per game without spins.

Electrum gain per time was specifically what I was looking at here, and it's not listed in the ttw study. There is a lot of overlap between the two I know (and I was considering also posting what I get here in Jmdt's study).

Looking at your ttw breakdown... There's no way that sums up to 7.028 ttw. I'd say it's ttw is bigger than 7.5

Good catch, I forgot to exclude lost games. Serves me right for trying to do math when I'm to sick to stand upright . ..
