Why do I suck at Flay Em? https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=42415.msg528119#msg528119
« on: August 02, 2012, 03:20:32 am »
Hey all,

I'm obviously a newbie here on the forums. I got myself to the point where I am trying to fight False Gods and I found this thread:

http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,38674.0.html [nofollow]

and I'm trying to use the Flay 'Em deck...but I am failing hardcore. I know the win percentage of Flay Em is supposed to be 33% or so, but I haven't won a single FG game so far and I've played 30 or so games. Am I making some kind of mistake or does Flay Em not work anymore?

I'm unsure on how the updates have affected it, but chances are that you've merely been unlucky with which FGs you've fought.

I'm not sure how exactly you are playing the deck, but go over the instructions once more. I chose to use Krathos' RoL/Hope and slowly began to build Instosis, which is what I have now.

Well I can't really say that you're making some kind of a mistake without knowing exactly what you're doing.

However, I will ask you if you're using the exact variant found on the link you've posted.  It would seem that the version tested in 1.26 used 3 Electrum Hourglasses (instead of Golden Hourglasses) and an Improved Miracle which are lacking in the variant posted in the link you've provided.  I have no experience with Flay 'Em myself so I'd have to open this up to anyone who has used it in the past:  Would the missing upgrades in the CRD thread cause a great (negative) change in performance overall?

Using unupped hourglasses does pull down the win-rate, but not as much as using 6 unupgraded hourglasses did in SGbow.

Well, there isn't really a way to play it wrong unless you're starting your shield chain too early/late or playing early creatures before you'e drawn a quintessence.

The win-rate has probably gotten lower, but it should be nowhere near 0%. Maybe you could keep track of which gods you're facing? Half of it may be you being unlucky in which gods you meet.
