Looks good. I'd probably take out a lightning though and add another upped recluse since i can have 6 upped cards.

1. Earn 1000 Score
2. Earn 5000 score
3. Earn 10.000 score
4. Earn 50.000 score
5. Make it into the top 50

Making it to the top 50 can be achieved by anyone on Sunday when no one has entered their scores yet, so that's not a viable option. I think that quests in terms of scores should be given from marginal score gain. Instead of getting to 50,000 score, get 2,000 score in a day to get a rare. Something like that

Orrrr.. make it into the T50 on Friday... Of course that wouldn't be fair since it's getting increasingly harder for people to make it to the T50. 2000 score in a day sounds pretty good.

I both agree with Malduk and Svenningen. I don't want to remove T50, but I REALLYYYYY DOOOOO want Weekly Quests to be added.

Well, the problem with this thread and poll is that it is about two separate things: suggests something we all really want (new quests), which people replied positively about already, with something that is not related to new quests - removal of farm decks.

I want new quests more than I want farms, but I dont think new players would agree with it, as they struggle with current AI anyway.

I agree. I am one of the players who did not get the luxury of playing the FG's while an 80% rate was capable. Since 1.21 came about this game has become much harder IMO for newer players and the AI just keeps getting better and better.

Death / Re: Decks

Coinich! I was waiting for you. I purposely did not mention Fractal mainly because i would like you to post variations of those decks. I think you are forgetting something about the War matchup. All cards are too be unupped except for the Masters who are allowed 6. So basically this knocks out our beloved recluse in favor of the Mummy.

Light - Problem with Plague and RoF unfortunately is the high cost unupped AND plague is slow. Lightning Storm may be the best way to go if we want mass creature control. Of course if Light counters by not going photons and angels/dragons we are going to have a bunch of dead creature control cards.

Darkness - i agree this is going to be a tough matchup. I don't see any other deck then Fractal/Pest. If we are slow in this matchup we are going to get locked down.

Life - If we use Otyguh i think some momentums would help as well.

Water - I think Essence is working with Water Nymphs (but i think we only have to worry about it with him) and antimatter nymphs. But a straight lock down squid deck wouldn't surprise me either.

Fire -  I completely agree here. Gonna be a tough matchup. Like i mentioned before a reflective shield might be helpful but more then likely this will hurt us since that means we would need to splash light. Speed poison with freezes might be the best way to go but it probably will be too slow.

Earth - Standard poison deck probably here. Flying Arsenics really won't work since we would have to splash air. I'm thinking we will probably see a quicksand/shrieker rush. Quicksands will mess us up bad.

Gravity - the good thing here is at least we only have to deal with 0/3 oty's and not upped ones. This gives our troops a chance to survive if not momentumed. Bonewalls/virus's/poison/couple dragons perhaps? The good thing is if we don't give them food they really don't have heavy hitters.

Time - hmmm.. i will definitely defer to your advice on this one.

Aether - wouldn't your fractal/steal deck work here?

Entropy - Yeah i figured this would be a tough matchup as well. Discords could wreck havoc on us and they could easily fly them since they can use novas.

Concerning your last thoughts i agree. We definitely should look over those decks. Thanks for your comments Coinich they really are much appreciated since you have had experience battling Masters.

Your are wrong with almost one thing, I will change my mind
you explain me that top50 is not what it seem to be. OK, it's just the right for best players to put their deck. OK.
So I suppose you don't play with your farm's deck and you don't have to change account to play another deck ?

No i don't play with my farm deck and i only use this one account. And i wish you wouldn't say the "best" players because that would infer that i am one of them and i am not (not trying to be humble either). Many of the "best" players don't have decks in the T50.

Don't worry I will not stop playing for these kind of problems, I will shout and cry a lot before stopping ( I stop MtG a hundred of time before really stopped)

Well i'm honestly glad to hear that and hope to see u in the T50 soon  .

you believe that no rules have been breaking. not me, when I click on TOP50 button there is an implicit rules : I am going to play against very good deck. not a paraplegic deck.
If top50 is only the right for best player to put the deck they want, then your are right and no rules have been breaked, it's just a problem of wording.

I wouldn't say the players in the T50 are the best players. Just players who have the highest score which does not equate to best in terms of skill. And really the only implicit rules concerning the T50 are the ones you are personally making. I do realize though that this discussion isn't going to change anyone's mind.

Honestly if you want to play a good deck i would play PvP. I know it's slower and it desyncs but if you want a challenge that's the way to go. Anyhow i hope that the farms in the T50 don't put you off from continually playing the game and posting here.

ok another way to exmplain you why farm deck cause problem... (for other point we are almost agree, game should be fun and new player shouldn't have to play one year in order to have enought card and electrum to play fun deck)

So people ( and not just you) decide to put this kind of deck. THEY decide. nor the game creator or a community. They decide that it should be better like this. But Zanz create the game with some rules, he is the one who have the right to decide. Not you ! If you believe something is wrong or could be better send a message, explain, discuss. If you are not the game creator, it's not your property, you didn't have to change the rules by yourself.
It's not only a problem of property is also a problem of respect. This kind of attitude is disrespectful.
It's the old problem of the rabbi and the whore... Where can we start and where should we stop.

I'm not sure i'm getting this. Farms don't break any rules. There are no rules in the game dictating what the Top 50 decks should or should not play. Zanz made the rules where the players with the highest scores get to create whatever deck they want to place in the T50. We are following the rules. No loopholes, no exploits, no cheating, no rule breaking. The players in the T50 all EARNED this right.

There is no disrespect here towards Zanz or the game. So you would say that CB!, Essence, Jangoo, PuppyChow, and Jumbalumba (all prominant posters, masters) who all put up farms are disrespecting the game?

so what is the difference between all card accessible in bazaar and pillar deck in T50 ? The first one is more equal for everybody.

Difference is that if you put all the cards in the bazaar then you have no rare cards. Rare cards make the game fun. Obtaining rares gives a sense of accomplishment. With the T50 you still need to find the farms and work for getting them and it's "fun/enjoyable" winning them.

Grinding money from farms deck is a bad argument, a rare card un-upped give you 150 electrum.

Not true. Relics and shards do not give you that much.

Finally you preffer broke the system create by zanzarinno ?

Mmmm.. "broken" would be a matter of opinion.

and what about player who just want to play against 1 of the best deck  and finnaly just click fo 5 minutes on done button ? for now I got 3 deck that are Farms deck with your's , got 4 . So 4/50 decks  (minimum are Farms deck) where is the limit ? When we reach ten percent ?

If you just want to play farm decks and quit on all the others that's fine. You end up losing score and electrum. And as for a limit i wouldn't really worry about that too much. The majority of the players don't do farms.

YOU believe your idea is good for your reason.
I believe your a wrong and that's deserve the game.

I believe that farms make people happier AND it keeps around people who may not because of them. I believe people who like the game less because of farms are in the minority.  If i believed that farms hindered the game rather then helped it i would most certainly take mine off.

is there a solution ? what is the real problem ? having card more quickly ? or more electrum ?

I don't consider either a problem. The real problem with the game is that currently there isn't much to do once you reach a certain stage. BUT Zanz is currently working on that.

Anybody saying Light sucks dare fight me mono vs mono, duo vs duo, or whatever?

ooooo.... Xdude throwing down the gauntlet.  Much respect for you as i know that you managed to plow through quite a few of the Masters in the Masters competition proving that Light doesn't suck.
