What arena decks do you hate to play against the most? I'll set up a poll when I get a good number of submissions.

My personal ones: SGBow variants, mono aether, mono fire, FFQ-hope

My 3 game-modification principles:
1. If it ain't broke, don't wreck it.
2. Simple fixes for simple problems.
3. Remember to fill in the holes.

6xSoOP, 6xBH, 6xUnrelated Oracle Card.

Honorable mentions go to oraclebows, ghostmare, mono-anything (yes, I realize this essentially includes the deck mentioned above), and my own pet peeve: flying weapon decks.

Mono-Light with miracles are annoying and waste so much of my time.

SoW Aether decks, and any deck packing a heap ton of CC, mostly Fire based decks.

monoaether, especially if the oracle card is off-element. shows total lack of care or thought.

Maybe people do this because they don't have a lot of cards? I have never done this, but I can understand that some people want to get a little extra electrum every day by submitting a deck. I agree that it is annoying though.

This also happens in Platinum (where every sane person has enough cards to built something interesting yet successful) and makes me very sad. Sometimes it also seems like even "advanced" people (judging by their score) don't understand very basic concepts of the game. Today I defeated a Mono Air with Firefly Queens thrown in. SoSac is regularly paired up with Bone Wall or mass healing. Dissipation Field is thrown into an oraclebow with Sanctuaries (no, it didn't come from SoSe). 0-attack scorpions remain unbuffed forever. Crusaders desperately try to get their hands on these Morning Glories. Shard of Bravery allows me to outrush a stall deck, not vice versa. Even if such a deck defeats me, I automatically thumb it down, sorry. However, the best thing I ever encountered was this:

I've played long enough to ensure it didn't have any Novas or Quantum Pillars, haven't I? Silver League, by the way.
