I tested this against PVP 1 and it won 18/20 matches.

More generally, it would help a lot if you could choose the deck the AI plays (with no rewards, ofc.) I mean, you could choose the cards in it.

That would help playtesting a lot.

Agreed. Even if the ai played suboptimumly, it would give you some idea of how your deck did.

Also agreed. Maybe you can even try and see what versions of your deck is better?

This function would definitely encourage more newbies to contribute. I remember seeing this forum section on another forums I used to visit. It helps a lot.

Yeah I saw this on other forums I used to be on also. You know, just introduce yourself, share your favorite element, talk a little about yourself or srategy... I really believe this is a great idea. Very helpful

Yeah this deck works great but if you only have one miracle since the card is rare... what would you suggest replacing it with?

Well, against level 3 you won't need CC (creature control) like the fire shield or too many fire bolts... And as the phoenixes can revive, you could add a couple of immolations and sparks (to immolate or make a finish blow)... I personally like minor phoenixes (upgraded), since you could use them with fractal to make an awesome deck...  Here it is Fractix (fractal phoenix) with only upgraded phoenixes:

Code: [Select]

5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61t 61t 622 622 622 622 7ds 7ds 7ds 7ds 7ds 7dsA great deck... You can also try others, but if you want an upgrade path for THIS one, I recommend not upgrading phoenixes, since they reduce their attack, and you are short in creatures

Looks nice maybe ill try it and tweak it if i need to.

Yes, this has been suggested before. The problem has been that I haven't figured out where to put this section. Front page is already looking cluttered and I don't think we should just keep adding stuff.

One option would be to have a sticky topic in General Discussion where people could say hi.

Ok that sounds like a great idea.

Deck Help / Turn up the heat

Can anyone help my deck to make it even stronger? Oh and if a couple of crimson dragons can fit in there i would like that

OPTIONAL: Please give me a good upgrade path for this deck please.

I agree with what you say, I really want to have a custom picture for my avatar, but it will take a lot of posts to do that. That can either scare new people off, or inspire them to post more on the forums. Actually, the first thing that did to me was scare me off, but then, all of a sudden, I want to achieve that goal of being an active member, so I am going to be active on these forums and soon become a senior member. I don't post just to post.

Where new people to the forum can introduce themselves! Like me! It makes them feel more welcome and will most definately get more people active on the forum.

I wish there was a Ghost button, where you could play a AI version of you, without being in T50, just imagine! The AI copys all your moves, your deck, your hand, it would be fun. 

Is this sarcasm? I can't tell if something is sarcasm by reading it, only hearing it. First of all, you would obviously have different hands because when i played myself in PVP we started off with completely different hands. Plus computers can either use your stategy better than you use it or worse than you use it. Playing your ghost would obviously help you see what works and doesn't work in your deck. Not to mention its just plain fun.

Well, if you're on top50, you can duel yourself. You're right in the sense that it helps in seeing how AI plays your deck. For example, many top50 people used mono shrieker rush to farm top50, since even if they meet themselves, the computer sucks in playing shrieker rush (burrowing).

You *could* open two browsers and log in with the same account, then pvp duel yourself, but I don't know how it would work out. You could make an alternate account, farm it enough, then make your deck and let the two accounts fight. However, I'm not sure but I've heard from somewhere that the system sometimes catches that has hacking/exploit, and you could potentially get auto-banned.

So, the conclusion is: don't try it.

Yeah the open two browsers is a good way to do it... then just leave the game on one of the windows... and play the AI. I have a really hard time seeing how that would be hacking... considering that you are earning no electrum and no spins.
