Where to start with upgrades?

if you prefer rainbow anti-FG, go for speedbow rush deck first because most of the cards are reusable but it is far slower this way
if not, just grind and save until you have enough to upgrade 6 RoLs and skip/farm FGs for the rest of RoL/Hope deck...it wont take long to have a completely upped deck by end of a week

Everybody is going to tell you different, but my personal recommendation (what I did) would be to build a rush deck, upgrade it to rush bigger and better things, and THEN build a FG deck.

- That's what I'm doing. I have 2 Lava Destroyers, 2 Cremations, Mirror Shield (won), Eagle Eye (won) and Animate Weapon upped. I'm just wondering which of the strategies is better:

1. Grind level3 with elemental masteries. Consistent winning, slightly poor rewards. Deck like this (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,10563.0.html) unupped.

2. Grind top50 with a fast deck. Less consistent wins, possibility for better loot. Deck like this (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,3882.0.html).

Is it feasible to save the cards you've won, or sell them all and put all the eggs on one basket? I now have cards to make several different decks and alternate between them. It brings additional troubles for deciding which ones to upgrade. If I've won cash with one deck, I feel I should upgrade that same deck to make it easier. I know that's irrational thinking, but I just can't help feeling that way.

Generally, I would say that the t50 deck would work much better. AI3's mainly for gaining score, rather than electrum farming, generally. It would probably be better to save the cards, because you never know when you'll want to make a new deck. If it's a card very obscure, then you might want to sell it, like Butterfly Effect. The lowered 5 to 4 doesn't make all the difference.

More than half of top50's usefulness comes from goodwill of some users, who have left farming decks behind and poor AI that can't play some decks. Decks AI3 uses aren't nearly as good and winning is very consistent. Elemental masteries give as much as 30 electrum, but most importantly you don't need to anticipate anything, which also contributes to speed.

farm T50 for rares (get at least 3 lobo / 1 eternity / 2 pulvy for anti-FG decks...or maybe 2 titan for the cheap flying titan anti-FG instead)
but farm AI3 for electrum and score instead if you already have them
remember to include some explosions/deflags if you're grinding T50 as you will have tons of permanents to deal with (mostly SoGs)
