General Discussion / Re: BH/Discord Decks for AI3 EM's - Stats & Discussion
« on: May 03, 2011, 09:48:20 pm »After using this deck a lot, I feel that an extra discord does a lot for the deck. Against t50 i use -2 heals +1 BH +1 Discord.Seems like a fair adjustment to the TADAbow for T50, where deck speed is king.
To all posters: Please save comments about specific decks to put each deck's specific page.

Elements Tools / Re: STATMASTA™realtec - Keep it real (now with actual cardspin rates!)
« on: May 03, 2011, 07:09:30 pm »Ok, I tested and this file would be too big. I guess we're better off using a file hosting site then and providing links. Thanks.@SG (mostly)Not sure if this is what you are asking, but you can attach files by clicking the "Attachments and other options" under the text box.
In regards to the Open Office/Googledocs discussion. Is there a way these forum postings can have the excel sheet attached directly as opposed to using a file hosting site? Just curious because Jangoo and I are in the midst of organizing a full-blown study utilizing the STATMASTA and this seems like the most logical solution to merging data.

Duo-Decks / Re: Lava Rush vNG. How to rush like a Master!
« on: May 03, 2011, 12:00:37 am »
DK,
I know that data is for your personal use and all, but be careful when making assumptions based off of 50 game tests. Through my extensive testing, I found that at 50 games, your margin of error is almost a whole turn and at 200 games I would make a fair estimate that the actual TTW recorded at that point probably varies by about .15 turns. Just food for thought.
I don't know if this deck helps you solve some of your mysteries, but here:
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,21375.msg291949#msg291949
I made that way back when, as I first started to make EM decks. Notice the creature spread? This may not translate perfectly, but over thousands of games of testing, I found this is the most efficient spread for the deck posted.
Why does this matter? You might ask.... if you notice the deck I referenced has NOTHING supporting the fire quanta other than cremations. Which has issues by itself, but the takeaway to gain from this is that, I would imagine this setup is probably close to optimal for the best start out of the gates when you consider just the fire creatures. The supported earth quanta in the decks you are working with, along with the fact that destroyers are very low cost might make for a different story, but as you are always eager to gain knowledge, I thought maybe you could take something away here.
P.S. Keep up the good work. I love it when people use a scientific approach, you don't see that sort of thing enough imo.

Rainbow Decks / Re: Vader Sader Rush 'EM - AI3 Elemental Mastery Deck
« on: May 02, 2011, 11:26:23 pm »
Yeah, I considered that, but generally in AI3 any decent creature > explosion for farming score. It's really just meant to be more of a fun, change of pace deck. I can eventually post some 50 game stats.

Rainbow Decks / Vader Sader Rush 'EM - AI3 Elemental Mastery Deck
« on: May 02, 2011, 08:30:42 pm »
Lately I've been kind of caught up on Saders. Probably due to team 
in war 
Here's my take on combining Vader Saders in a PSN while adding a rush component for AI3 EMs.

Rainbow Decks / Re: (1.27) CC? Why Bother? - unupped
« on: May 02, 2011, 12:22:48 am »
Played a healthy session today and I am making some updates. It needs more Quantum Pillars as it absolutely cannot withstand a poor draw of quanta without supernova to kick start it as the upped version has. Along those same lines, it needs 2 PA's because it cannot recover easily enough from one of its key perms (shield/pulvy) being destroyed or stolen. This should help the win % against several gods. Updating OP.

« on: May 01, 2011, 02:55:35 am »Edit: God by God breakdown would be much appreciated, thanks.
If someone could make a god-by-god breakdown...enough said.I would attempt to create a god-by-god breakdown, however, I think it would be almost identical to the upped version in terms of strategy. From a statistical standpoint, there should be extensive research done in conjunction with a false god study soon to be unveiled by Jangoo and I. Numbers should be available within the next week or two.
If people are in need of miracles and pulvies, I will try and keep them in my T50 farm whenever I'm not online for the next few weeks.

Metamorphosis - Battle Results / Re: Round 2 - Battle Results
« on: May 01, 2011, 02:30:23 am »
kirchj33 2 - brettbstock 0
--> 
1st match: Win
We both had to start from scratch with decks we got held up on. This match was a good reflection of how aweful our decks were. I Exploded his early gravity pillar in case he was holding onto a graviton firemaster. He played a turn 3 phoenix that stayed BB'd the entire match. He rage potted my first two lava golems before I got the third & fourth to stick into play.
Changes:
Lava Golems ---> Graboids
Burning Pillars ---> Nova
-1 BB
2nd match: Win
Really slow match, a little interesting and dicey at times. I exploded his first gravity pillar again, but it backfired when RNG scrambled him two gravity and he played an early phoenix and firemaster. I got my first graboid popped by a rage pot and decided to keep the rest unevolved. I BB'd his two creatures, and drew a 3rd and decided to evolve a graboid and BB it. After petrify wore off his phoenix he played two rage pots on it and turned it into an omegaphoenix. I nearly peed myself and then drew another BB the next turn. This enabled me to evolve my other two graboids and win the match.
Changes:
Deflags ---> Lycans
Earth Pendula ---> Earth Pillars
3rd match: Win
I needed more creatures to outdamage him in case he drew an equal number of rage pots as creatures I played. This mod gave me the opportunity to do that, although he drew all pillars and one rage pot until the turn before he died, which was promptly BB'd. I won with 93 HP left so there wasn't much of a doubt.
Changes:
BB ---> Iridium Warden
Discords ---> Earthquakes
+1 Stone Pillar
