In other word, Vreely's version. And you've won 1 out of 10?

What decks did you face?
Sorry I'm pretty new. I don't know what to call them, but a few of them just focused on pumping these 5/5 green monsters every turn, and healing when needed. And some others just focused on poisoning me. The others just seemed random, but with really expensive cards.

Why would you be able to match up with someone in T50? Some of them are farms, also the AI cannot use the decks to their full potential. And most of the time you can just plain outrush those decks

That is the only deck I use to farm t50
and that is what i based my stats on
look for a better combination of the deck, or post it in the Deck Help section for help.
well what are you running in your golem rush?
Im running 5 golems, 6 protons, 6 immolations, 4 Defrag, 2 Dragons, Hammer, Rage Pot, 5 Pillars
I'd go with 6 golem, 6 proton, 6 immolation, 2 deflag, 7 pillars, 2 dragons, 1 hammer. 4 deflag is too much, rage pot is less useful imo...
I'm using the upped version of immorush, which involves minor phoenixes. The point is to outrush them quickly, control is pointless (just 2 deflags for safety).
And what you said is USEM, don't worry about that one... unupped decks will rarely beat it. (control could, but t50 farming with unupped control is not worth it)

The top 50 is ranked by the score of the player. Not the actual talent.

The problem with Elements is that you really can't tell how good the player is by looking at the information given to you by the game. The #1 player in top 50 might be awesome vs AI opponents, but maybe he really sucks at PvP? You never know.

If you have bad luck with playing top 50, do as ddevans96 suggested: wait a bit for the landscape to change. Maybe play some PvP or AI3 in the meantime, or you could always chill out here in the forums.

Like many other people said, much of top 50 is made of "farms" which are specialized decks designed to lose every match, thus giving you a chance at spinning any of the non-pillar cards in that deck. Most of the time these decks will have, for example, a gravity mark, a bunch of gravity pillars, and maybe 6 Vampire Stilettos and 6 druidic staffs. You'll win the match (excluding special cases, like a Liquid Shadow/Antimatter deck, which doesn't deal direct damage) and more than likely get an elemental mastery (EM). Giving you a bunch of extra cash from the match along with your usual 3 spins. You could win a rare card (the ones that, if any, were in the deck you played) from those spins.

I hope that makes sense. ^^; I think I may have worded it a bit weird.

Surprisingly, I can´t find a direct answer to the question here.
The Top 50 consists of the decks (played by AI) of the weekly Top 50 people, who clicked the highscore button. If you click it on Sunday, the number of points ,you need to be in it , is lower ( not enough for 1400 points), because it´s reset once per week (Sunday, I think).
Some players are nice and have decks full of rare cards. Some do it, if you ask them kindly. And some don´t.

hm....first deck would likely be Life Rush, which is fairly common in t50. It will almost always outrush your deck.

Poison decks are sort of a coin toss - if you find them a major problem you could add a purify (which can be played through immo).

Last deck is likely a FG rainbow - if you rush them before they fully set up you'll usually get the win, and if you don't it's all down to luck.

It might be a good idea to ask in chat if there's any t50 players and if they would be willing to set up a farm.

but wouldn't this only allow me to have a 1/50 (2%) chance to play them? Or is there some method I don't know about?

Often there would be more than one in chat, and that's in addition to the few that all already submitted.

Method 1: Play more than one Top 50 game.
Method 2: (costs score and electrum and wins/loss relation, NOT recommended ): Skip the bad decks...

If top 50 means, I have to play someone who is ranked in the top 50, thats a joke. Why would someone like me with a 1400 deck be any challenge for someone in top 50? Probably the worst thing I've ever seen.
Score includes matches played against the ai, so its perfectly possible to get in the top 50 without a killer deck.  Its mostly people who have played a lot of games.

Also the deck that appears is whatever deck that player currently has so it could be any deck they use, not necessarily something strong.

Btw what is 1400 deck?

 

anything
