Noob needs help with deck etc https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=50533.msg1089319#msg1089319

Hey, I'm new to this game and need some help with what deck I should be going for and what I should be doing in this game to get further.

I mostly want to PvP against my friends and other people online and maybe kill some CPU, but mainly PvP.  Right now I'm using the Mono Entropy deck thats on the elementswikia page.
But I'd like to switch it up and try something else, I don't mind changing mark etc so feel very free to give me some tips and pointers on some strategies and decks. I'd really like a good PvP deck that I can use for a long time.
Also I've read something about farming level 3 etc and have no clue what that is so if someone could let me now that'd be great. Well thats all my questions, thanks for reading!

The act of "farming" (or "grinding") is to repeatedly kill a certain level for money, score, or/and rares. Most people in the beginning farm AI3 due to it being easy and fast to kill, and because the electrum reward is enough to let a new player survive -- basically, they're so simple any newbie can farm them effectively if given even the slightest help. "Rush" decks (decks that just concentrate on killing the opponent as fast as possible) do well in AI3. That's the act of "farming" level 3. (As you should have noticed, AI3 = Level 3 = Elder.)

Now, if you mostly want to PVP, there's a deck called grabbow that fares well in PVP1. I'm not going to lie to you, PVP1 is generally easy so any well-done deck can dominate it pretty easily. This is the link to the "classic" Grabbow (Short for Graboid Rainbow.)
It also does well against AI3, although it is not as good as pure rushes.

If you feel like sharing your entropy deck and want help with it, you can do it in this board.

There is also a PvP deck compilation here.

Last but not least, Welcome.

Thanks for all the help and info, and I'd like to ask one more questions if u don't mind.
Its a deck I found on elementswikia which I thought looked interesting, I wish I could link it to you but I'm afraid
I'm not yet allowed to. But if you look up Gravity Mono Deck, do you think its worth trying out and do you know if
the purpose of the deck is to farm or PvP.
And why are you supposed to use Fire mark when all the cards in the deck is gravity?

Hope you don't mind answering this questions too, cheers man!

If you click the following image when you post, you will be able to place the deck import/export code between the [.deck][./deck] tabs to let us see a picture of the deck you're talking about. This saves a lot of time.

I searched for the deck but did not find it -- Mono Gravity is usually slow, however, and there are faster decks out there to farm AI3.

As for the reason on why to use the Fire Mark, I can only conclude (although I haven't seen the deck) that it must come from the usage of the card called "Graviton Fire Eater"; when you activate it's ability, you will lose 1 :fire quanta and the creature will gain 2 attack.

Hey, here is the deck. I probably won't be using this deck for farming AI3 but rather PvPing so happy with any input u can provide on it.
Maybe this deck is for specific opponents and might not be so good in PvP in general but I have no clue and you probably know best.
As always, thanks again

The deck shouldn't do well nor badly in PVP1, and the fire mark there is indeed to power the fire masters. I'd prefer it without colossal dragons and with Graviton Mercenaries, but it all depends on your choice, after all.

If your using gravity in your deck, I suggest adding a card called acceleration into it. You can then remove the graviton fire eaters and be able to keep your deck strictly mono gravity. Basically what it does is it targets one creature (like momentum). What it does to the creature is that it takes 1 life from it per turn, but it increases it's attack by 2 for each turn.

Of course, you can go in the opposite direction and add fire cards. I suggest going with deflagration which can destroy any one of your opponent's permanents.
