The Arena / Re: on the edge

« on: July 27, 2011, 07:53:02 pm »

There was one I had that was rank 517, and when I checked on it later, it was 395. xD
People ahead of me must have kept losing until I was in the top 500 again.

The Arena / Re: Fire decks seem to be pretty powerful in the Arena.

Fire creatures suffer from having horrible low health. Some weak creature control can hurt them pretty bad.

Deck Help / Re: What deck to use to beat Gold League?

Any idea about how many score you won ?

I have the table with how much electrum I gained for each match. In 250 games I gained 15,762 electrum (not counting electrum gained after the spins start, or from selling cards)
Not sure what the relation is between electrum gain and score gain is though.

3 phoenix, 1 gavel, 3 gnome gemfields, 5 burning towers, 1 fire lance, 2 explosions, 6 cremations, 6 lava destroyers, 3 minor phoenix's.
It's Sev's version of vNG, except I made it -1 crimson dragon, -1 burning tower, +1 fire lance, +1 phoenix. After recording 250 games, I had a 55% win rate, and this is a rush deck, so games go fast =D

The Arena / Re: Do we get too many score points from Arena?

« on: July 23, 2011, 10:01:01 pm »

Yeah... I'm going to agree it gives too much score.
I joined after arena was released. I have a score of 81k, which is the upper end of lvl 58 in arena.
And I managed to get here while only having 73 upgraded cards. I've never sold an upgraded card, and I only sell cards I have more than 6 of.
It seems that score can be gained far too fast.

The Arena / Re: Gold League oracleBow: how to be better than mediocre without trying

« on: July 21, 2011, 02:25:35 pm »

Yeah. Probably only ~2% of the people in Gold League actually use either of these versions. (I've seen CCC's version more than JMDT's)

Well I've been using Jmdt's version with good success, even got into the top 100 when my card was a dagger. The deck I use never loses to it, but I have certainly been defeated by CCC's version a few times.

Even so, I assume the elite players who know exactly how the AI works are also in the minority. This would be helpful to the majority of the playerbase.

The Arena / Re: EM Farming silver better than farming gold?

« on: July 17, 2011, 04:33:14 pm »

Eh... I don't like using time (1 hour) as a way to test, since a human can spend too long on one match and go very fast on another. Possibly electrum gained per turn would work out better?
