Deck Help / Re: tumpelo looking for advise

« on: March 14, 2010, 09:15:34 am »

Hello all,
I would like to have some advice about deck building too. Which way should I continue (farming AI5/T50/??) and what cards should I first update. I have tried the rainbow deck but it didn't work too well agains AI5 (atleast unupgraded), maybe I had wrong layout. Currently I'm (trying) to farm T50 with the shown deck for rares. Have had some luck so far.

All advice would be appriciated.

you should go for speed / poison deck for T50 farming, you have 2 arsenic would work like a charm

I played about 200 games vs T50 and not a single card.... even AI3 is kinder than that lol

I think I have the answer...

How many of those 200 games did you win?  0?

win rate is about 40% with AI4.. with AI3 (win rate is about 95% speed/poison deck) I get a card about every 6-7 games.

Not trying to be a jerk but are you sure you aren't exaggerating? If you've won 80 times the chances of you not getting a card at a 40% drop rate is roughly 1/50,000,000,000,000,000. At a 20% drop rate it's 1/5,000,000. If you aren't you need to play the unlucky lottery.

here is what I meant, I win about 40% of the games with AI4 and dont get a single card. I win 95% of my games vs AI3 and get a card every 6-7 games.

so if I play 10 games against top50 / ai4 I get 0 cards

If I play 10 games against ai3 I get about 1 card

Deck Help / Re: need help building AI5 / FG killer deck

OK, you have a great start to an ai5 farmer.
Lets trim the deck down a bit. its a bit chubby.

remove
-1 steal
-animate weapon (if you make it to the point where you need to rewind creatures, it most likely means that you dont need creature control (owl eye) anymore)
-2 golden hourglass (its not good when you have like 2 extra in your hand)
-1 or 2 bonds (you will be low on life quant and you dont need that much)
-6 pillars (again, you will not need that much)
-1 elf (not needed)

13 cards gone!
now add:
-1 RoF
-2 quints

that makes 40  8)

I agree with everything here except for the additional RoF. You also only need to add one quint. You can even take out the owl's eye, it is unneeded creature control once you have elite otyughs. Also, you will NEED a protect artifact.

Looks like you've got all the parts that a beginning rainbow usually has.  I'd only suggest cutting the deck size down a bit.  You could probably get away with a few less Hourglasses, Steal, Elf, Feral Bond, Pillars, Animate Weapon, Owl's Eye... I'm no expert on rainbows though, if you're having fun with your own creation then stick with it.

If you wanna see what the experts suggest, have a look at this thread:

Yeah, my deck size is a problem I do like that deck that you linked. I have a tri weapon deck I could never decide on what weapon to take, but yeah looks like i really need one, since stealing one is also an option

You need 12 upgrades to Speed Poison: 6 Physalia and 6 Deadly Poison.  You can play with Bone Walls in the place of the Arsenics without dramatically changing your win percentage.

On a different note, I've had some pretty decent success today (about 66% wins v t50) with a remarkably simple deck:

Mark of Darkness
14 Emerald Pillars
6 Emerald Dragons
6 Heal
4 Steal

M 
14 E. pillars
6 E. dragons
4 heals
1 bond
5 steals

is a deck I am running with right now. going to try it with -1 bond and +1 heal

Rather good mono-Fire deck.

http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,365.msg3002/highlight,got%20poison#msg3002

Here's your Speed Poison.

mono fire one is really swings too much, so far not much luck with it

the poison one I am going to give it a roll but without arsenic

Interesting deck. Looks pretty sound, if a bit weak against permanent control decks.

Use a Shrieker Spam, a Mono- , or a Speed Poison against T50 for the fastest, funnest results.

can you give sample mono or a speed poison that is unupped? I would like to try one

6 Wind Pillar

so far 0/3... on ai5

a little better on ai3... 10/1

going to try ai5 again, seems I deck out before the hb is killed

OK, now I understand this deck lol... save shields for later throw creatures first...  6/4 on ai5 in the last run +1 upgraded card win
