Top 5 mistakes you see people make

[PirateKingAtomsk]

OK folks, for those of you who actually bothered to listen to the podcast you heard a top 5 mistakes new people make.  I have been invited back to do it again, and as I lack the ideas of a collective I want to hear what you think are the mistakes people make, I will attempt to make or have someone make a poll of the ideas you submit and choose the ones that are the top five.  And by all means tell me if I totally screwed up your idea.

Past Topics:
     Not realizing what cards work well together
     Giving up to easily
     Throwing away a deck because you lost a few times
     Being a "one trick pony"
     To many cards in the deck

Here's some mistake lots of people make:

Rushing to the false gods before you're ready.
Rushing to ScaredGirl's deck before you are good enough to make it on your own.
Being too hesitant to change marks.

"Hey guys! I just got to pick my rare weapon. I picked Vampire Dagger!"
"So what's the first card I should upgrade? Oty? Hourglass? Oh nevermind, I already upgraded my (insert card that isn't very useful in a rainbow deck)."
"Hey guys, I just got this weird Nymph card. I didn't need it for my deck so I sold it."
"Ugh! Why isn't my super powerful mono deck beating False Gods?"
"Hey guys. I just started. I'm deciding I will use the PvP random to increase my score even though I only have a starter deck!"

Gl1tch may disagree about this.

Another one is...

MISSING THE BIG FLASHING RED DISCONNECTED BUTTON!!!

[teffy]

I want to add:

"How can I upgrade cards ? Where is the oracle ? How do I get nymphs?"
Ignoring the search engine, FAQ topic..., the end of the quests, the oracle button, the text of the login screen.

"OMG, I get so little money, I need years to upgrade my cards. Why ? "
Cause you shall not be able to upgrade too many cards ?

Naw, I'm gonna agree here.  Most noobs have no clue about how to super buff the dagger, and unless they know how to use the dagger or run a dark mono, they'll probably consider it a mistake.

I'm not sure when you stop becoming a noob but I still make these 3 mistakes, so maybe I'm still a noob (or I'm just in a hurry all the time)

1. Forgetting to return a card to the deck with the Eternity. I'm concentrating so much on all the improved monsters from my druid that I forget to check the card count and return a card and I deck out. I make sure that's the first thing I do now.

2. Playing cards in the wrong order. I've played firestorms to prop up a bone wall only to forget that I had a graveyard I could have played and missed out on popping up some skeletons.

3. Not noticing the quantum count. I've played a phase shield, then an oty and was going to use the quint when I realized I used up too many quantums with the phase shield. It distracted me b/c all 3 originally light up as playable.

Not focusing on the way as the reward.

This doesn't only go for Elements.

hahaha...I'm right there with you on these.  Fortunately I'm finally learning to pay more attention, but good lord it is frustrating to lose an otherwise easy win because of things like this.

(For me)

1. Not using eternity to prevent deckout
2. Not using eternity to prevent deckout
3. Not using eternity to prevent deckout
4. Not using eternity to prevent deckout
5. Not using eternity to prevent deckout

(for others)

1. Why don't I keep the card oracle gives me?
2. How do I upgrade cards?
3. My (insert deck name) is awesome because it has (insert very redundant card here)
4. Begging for help
5. (Read above)
