- 1 elite pegasus,
- 1 Snova
+ 1 blessing
+ 1 CP
perhaps?
I like that suggestion because everytime I test it, ends up one diver just ends up doing all the work anyways.  Would make the deja vu/RT elder a bit tougher though.

Fortunately I believe that the vulnerability regarding Frogs can be rectified by using Chaos Powers on them over other creatures (I generally found this was helpful while testing BOOOM! so it should work here too).
That's true.  And those should be the first two cards you should be able to play, so it should work great.

Sounds like old Shak'ars revengeful crusdade across the 6th plane will
soon meet some unfortunate resistance ... Lets hope that Shak'ars
favourite target Neptune doesn't learn how to congeal + shockwave
the lil doll.  :o

Tea is good, depending on the actual time you want to allot to FG-farming
and the planned release of 1.27, I would suggest you get to it in the live-game
while 1.26 is still up. You should have the electrum for those 5 BBs and some
dolls back in no time.

Speaking of which, when is 1.27 going live? Anything halfway tangible in the pipe yet?
Might have to grind some FG's with shakar's before 1.27 is live!  Poor doll.

No matter what I find Graboids>>Antlions especially because time quanta isnt used
Have you tested?  I found that in PSNbows, as great as it sounds to run pegasi or graboids, creatures that generally run off a SN to launch, but can be played off a pendy fail.  You may be right.  I've been backlogged with so much testing lately, but wanted to get the idea out there.  I think it will work well with some tweaking.

Well, this is what I gathered.  The 19TTW came from a combination of not drawing any Pends during my first draw and facing the Pandemonium Voodoo Elder...which is designed to stall you into submission.  I had a second game where I drew no Pends, but I was killed before killing the AI so this was not included in the TTW.  With ~2.8% chance of not drawing Pends in my first hand at all, I wouldn't be surprised if this occurred again seeing as how the AI are designed to stall more so than win now.  Being the AI3 grinding addict I am, I managed to shave 3 minutes off of the total time spent, which consequently made my IG Score Eff higher.  I do not keep track of time spent outside of the game.  I have a few concerns about the deck build itself, but I think I'll continue for 150 more games before coming to a conclusive decision.
Thanks for testing.  I'll be interested to see how the rest goes... I feel like there's a pretty good "feel" learning curve with the black holes and I took my 50 game stats after testing about 100 games.  I'll be interested to see if yours improve or mine get worse.  I'd imagine there is a balance somewhere in between.

Anyways, to calculate TSE from score and time.  Take score/(time(minutes) * 60 + games * 9)/3600=(1427 score)/(4176/3600(seconds/hr))=1230.172 score/hr ---- The 9 seconds is an assumed number that estimates time between games.  I've been using it for all TSE calculations.

This would put your TADA efficiency above mine, but I have already stated privately I think you are a much faster player than I am for various reasons.  Your TTW is higher than mine and total EMs from 50 games were lower by 4, which is enough to push efficiency lower than USEM in comparison I believe.  Unless USEM has some ungodly long losses, which it might because it can heal itself for longer.  TADAs losses seem to be quicker when they happen, probably due to the PSN mechanic more than anything.

Kudos, and I look forward to more stats in combination with the efficiency study:

Finally, what decks suggestions were you thinking of?

how do quick sands work against elders? is it actually worth it?
I would imagine, upped denial decks seem to perform really well against unupped decks.  I can test this sometime in the next week and tweak it.  A little backed up with testing atm because I made too many decks at once.

Rainbow Decks / Olympic Gold in Diving - AI3 EM Farming

So after jmdt taught me how to harness the power of a PSNbow, I started thinking about the various ways to abuse it.

What are the two most broken character skills?  Vamp and dive imo.  Which led me to Dracula Attacula (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,21720.msg297137#msg297137) and this:

That deck looks kinda similar to jmdt's decks but no matter.
Why antlions though? wouldnt shriekers/graboids help since u got time quanta?
Yes, I would definitely call myself a disciple of his.  Nobody else seems to make EM decks close to as well as him.  Lately, we've been finding that PSNbows are some of the most efficient decks for score gain/hr.  If you want to check out a couple of my better PSNbows I would suggest:

Dracula Attacula
& TADA

As the quickantbow is more of a PvP deck/work in progress.

The data using frogs would make it amongst the most efficient decks out there.  Calculating the TSE (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,21530.msg296140#msg296140) would be among the most efficient decks there are:

This would put it as:

1. TADA (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,21706.msg296927#msg296927)=1207 score/hr
2. USEM=1202 score/hr
3. Frogs in CAEM=1176 score/hr
4. SCEM=1139 score/hr

I will be sure to recalculate using frogs, which will adjust for user-based time differences.  50 games is a little premature to claim all this as fact, but I believe the farming differences between these 4 decks is fairly negligible.

Thoughts: The lack of Explosions made the mono-Aether elder frustratingly difficult. The faster launch speed helped counterbalance the Frogs' susceptibility to CC, and they work better than Cockatrice when you don't see Pends and Supernovas.
Wow!  That's a whole turn faster then with Cocks.  I will have to retest for my efficiency study.  People really need to get on board that its electrum gain/hour that really matters!

Anyways... I digress... maybe the name should be changed to Froggy about EMs!.... or Giant EMs?

This one is a little more off the cuff and out there than the last two, but effective nonetheless:
