Few Questions

[The Night Angel]

So I have a few questions on Elements. Its seems to me that everyone has a ton of upgraded cards, but I don't have any. 1500 electrum? How do you get that much quickly?

Secondly, how do you get more rare cards? I got a stilleto from a roll and a rare from the quest but is there any other way?

The fastest way to gain electrum is to win against FGs and sell the upped cards you win (at roughly 1100 electrum per card). You can try doing this as soon as you finish all the quests, but your chances of winning are a bit on the low side because you'll have to run an unupped deck.

Some good choices for relatively unupped FG decks include:
Evil Twin (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,22541.0.html) (~30% win rate, completely unupped, will probably decrease significantly once the AI understands how to deal with Cloak)
Flay 'em (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,20228.0.html) (~30% win rate, 4 upgrades; works completely unupped, a solid choice overall)
RoL/Hope with 6 upgrades (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,14533.0.html) (~25% win rate; fast games, fast autoquits)
Liquid Antimatter (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,17730.0.html) (~15% win rate, completely unupped; fast games, fast autoquits)

Rares are available most reliably from farms in T50, though you still have small chances to win them in spins from AI3, AI5, and FGs (depending on the rare in question).

thanks for the help!

I made most of my money and score on pvp, but whatever works for you is fine.

i grinded ai3 and t50 using various decks until i had enough money and rares to build a good semi-upgraded deck.
the beginning of elements is hard, but once you get enough money to build good decks, the world suddenly seems like such a smaller place.

This game exists since May 2009 (http://board.flashkit.com/board/showthread.php?t=794854). So veterans had almost 2 years to earn cards.
Don´t expect to get "tons of rare and upgraded cards" quickly.
Ok, maybe tons of rares *looking to Top 50*
Almost all rare cards come from spins.
And nymphs come from the oracle and tournaments.
