but I can't tell you how long it takes to play Fake Gods with a rainbow deck.  And, to take just one example, Rainbow carries a 90 card deck (or more?).  How often do you think you're going to spin an eternity?  Farm the T50!  Let my people go!

Rainbow has eternity????????????????????????? Is it a new change or your mistake?

Can we start a movement for those people out there in the top fifty to always leave their decks full of rares?  Please?

I agree!!! And i'm in top50!
Problem is that there's no deck saving, so it's quite annoying especially for 50+ cards decks.
I think that first of all we need some kind of deck saving, just to build "play" decks and "farm" ones.

About me my top50 grinding deck is good even for farming: enjoy it!

I haven't tried the poison deck, but I imagine it (poison) is probably a bit faster than this (fireball).  This fire deck CAN win in 5 turns, however it is extremely rare (so rare that I don't think I've ever had it happen, I have won in 6 though).  I would guess most often that wins come around turns 9-11 (by this point, even if your Fahrenheit has done no dmg, you should have some combination of the 4 bolts + 81 quanta, or 5 bolts + 63 quanta that you need to win).  The fire may have a higher winning percent than the poison, but may also take a bit longer.  Overall I am sure the poison is a "better" deck, since this fireball deck is wholly dependent on the fact that a) no Top50 decks have reflector shields and b) the AI never destroys upgraded sundials. 

The Poison deck wins, on average, in 6-8 turns, 9-11 turns on very rare occasions, and I've won in 5 turns twice. It IS faster on most occasions, but the deck that I've seen uzra play, which is very similar to this one, did manage to beat me by one turn because I kept drawing congeals (he had 20+ poison counters, and was at lower than 15 HP, I believe). Overall, both decks are very good at what they do, but likewise, they both have weaknesses. Poison is taken out by a single early game Devourer/Pest, and the Fire Lance deck is easily taken out by any type of reflecting shield.

I've tried both in the past, then decided to try something more funny (flying weapons) just not to get to bored in grinding. But I must say fire wins more than poison: it doesnt care about creatures at all and fears only reflection (wich i must say is SO rare in top50, i met only a jade shield and only once). On the other hand poison is faster in turns, but fire is more mindless play and no abilities to use.
In the end I would play fire because i believe in murphy's law: "the time you lost was the time you would get a rare" ;P

Down here my flying weapons deck: lot of control, possibility of masteries (miracle+strolen bond, or just having an early bonewall) and tends to 100% effectivness, but can have troubles against fast decks (poison/fire) with bad draws. note that i replaced the bond in the picture with a miracle to get easy wins even agaisnt those fast damaging decks.
So what's the prolem? It's slow :|

From my experience i must say that the spin sistem works with all cards in deck, not 5, so the only good thing to do is put more copies of GOOD rares in a 30 card deck.
I say this because i often see more than 5 different cards in the spin and because i win rares more often against effective decks based on more copies of the same weapon than against farm decks.
According to this the greatest faarming decks i saw are nihilus and foyle: lot of copies of the best cards! Bad thing is that i won nothing against them But i think it's just luck matter

The deck I put up last night:



 

more than a rare farming deck it seems an anger farming deck! You'll see any kind of rare and probably win nothing

Turin, I see the advantage of removing some cards, to maximize the others, but there is no advantage in including towers, it will just to lit the chances of geting a rare card.

Well, the point of my sentence is: having 4-5 common rares more in 3-4 copies each make the winning chance lower. With only pillars instead you have only 1 card, the pillar, and then the other useful rares, so winning will be more probable.
Obviously i'm not sure of how the "slot machine" works, but seems the less variety of cards you have, the more probability of winning. imo it's better to win an eternity/pulv/lobo and dozens of pillars than go close to them dozen of times (as happens to me) and have dozens of eagleyes/stilettos/fahreneits/staffs

btw, thanks to anyone having rare farming decks!!

you dont get the Idea. I'm already in the top 50, This deck is not to help me, is to help who play agains the top50

so you're just gentle!
But i dont like so much your deck,  maybe a more effective one is just: eternities + pulverizers + lobotomizers + tridents + discords + the remaning of pillars (all the same). So with less  variety of cards chance of winning will be even more. Just because who fight top50 is not searching for eagle eyes, stilettos, staffs and other stuff. Only rares i care (and probably the most of people) are those above, because of thier effective rarity.
Seems i want a deck just for my farming , but probably most of rare farmers agree with this
