Its gets a bit stale during the early FG era when you have no upgrades or very few, but gets a bit better when you got a solid upgraded deck.

Code: [Select]

5oj 5rp 5rp 5rp 5rp 5rp 5rp 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6rm 6rm 6u3 6u3 6u6 717 71b 74b 74b 77i 7am 7am 7do 7gs 7q5 7q5 7q5 7q5 7q8 7t9 7t9 80d 80h 80h
What I would like to know is where should I go from here? Upgrade Queen then the rares in my stash or is there a recommended modification at this point?

Should I upgrade my Steal's next or start the grindy grindy pillar upgrade? Or should I upgrade a shard I have an add another Shard of Divinity? I have used this guide to exactly as it stands and for anyone wondering, it is definitely a good way to go. Gets a little slow when you transition from AI3 to False God, but picks up after that again once the Glasses, Oty's and Druids are there.

Also, Fire Fly Queen, upgrade eventually or no? The Light quanta from the flies is nice for Sundials (no upgrade I assume?), but the extra Fire quanta could be nifty for adding some fire cards perhaps....

I wonder what zanz would say... >.>

Given that it's not in the game yet, probably "no".

And an even older thread: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,2214.0.html
It's a carbon copy of a Magic card (http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=15168), so obviously it's been suggested lots of times.

Updated the OP with the data you provided. And if that is the case, I hope zanz might reconsider in the future. Although I can definitely see the difficulties that would need to be overcome to implement this effectively.

Ditch the Fire AI3 farming deck I saved and swap it out for a Grabnoid?

It is kinda a whole new game mechanic, considering the openings this makes for new cards and how to re use old cards. It could cause a normally good card to get OP'd real quick. A lot of work in beta would be required I would think.

I actually have one unupped shard that would become a divinity, but I need up it still. A big issue for me is Electum. I never seem to have enough to play my hand. Ill get 2-3 towers in my first hand usually and my opponent will rock 4-5. Not counting Super Novas or anything they might pop.

Its was fairly consistent losses. I did win few fights early on, but I have to say it was more luck than anything else. Usually it would come to the wire and I will pull something like a Rain of Fire out and take out the majority of their creatures and skeletons would pop out and provide enough empathy boost to flip things around in the nick of time. When I win I usually mastery it, but like I said its never a "solid" win.

And then I started loosing a lot. Of the 700 electum probably 500-550 was lost in a row. I had to sell a couple rares to keep my head above 0. Off the top of my head I am fighting a lot of Chaos Lords, Hermes, Divine Glory's, and Red Queens, with a few others scattered in.

Alright I lost close to 700 electum on the False Gods with the rainbow deck in the OP. I have all hour Glasses and 1 Oty upped. Should I go back to farming AI3?

In my noobish experience, I would say that the card is a little too specific in nature and would only be kinda worth it in certain situations. Less so considering the cost and the fact it is a single action card. Perhaps you could alter it to be similar to Flood.

By that I mean make it say something like "Creatures in the middle row of both sides of the field can only be frozen for a maximum of one turn". and have it cost like 2-3 fire electum per turn. at least then it will have a more widespread effect...although still specialized...
