Deckbuilding 101: From Noob to False God Slayer

pdate it please. The old pics might confuse the new players.

Eh. Most people can read. Putting deck codes up might be helpful, but for the most part I think people will know a pillar is a pillar.

Eventually someone's going to come along and ask about Sapphire Pillar.

There. Updated all the pictures for the decks recommended up there, added deck codes, and my own commentary to each.

I would probably use 6 shields. Swap a dragon or pillar.

Nothing to say here. Dagger could be replaced with short sword for slightly more damage or fog shield if one wants more defense.

Nothing much to say here either. Pretty standard. I'd swap a steal or drain life for nightfall though.

Grabboid rush. Another very powerful rush. I would personally use 1-2 short swords instead of the dagger, but this is another really powerful deck.

You'll be strapped for quanta, but if you want a more defensive build, swap out a dragon or two and maybe some abominations for dissipation shield.

I'm not too much of a fan of this. I'd take out the ash eaters/immolates and dagger for either phoenix (more damage) or deflags (for dealing with shields)

I'm not a fan of this one either. For light, I'd prefer a 6 pegasus, 6 blessing, 1 short sword, 1 solar shield, 16 light pillars and an air mark.

Toadfish is a very good rusher for water decks.

Better with  mark, guess you missed it 

[koolvince09]

This is about the light deck, wouldn't you want to have the hope to block attacks, while using your dragons and photons (if you have rays of lights instead of the photons then you'll know what i mean, and then use luciferin with the golden dragon/light dragons. that'd probably shield 12 damage, which i think is a little bit good if you're stalling, but the chances to have both 6 golden dragons/light dragons + photons/rays of lights is slim to none, considering the AI/ Half Blood/ Fake God you're facing but you could do with the luciferin and hope. If anything here you find wrong in any way, please tell me for i'm fairly new to this forum.

[Lantern123]

I LOVE the deck, though some false gods can destroy/steal dim shields, Lionheart with the unupped deck is a win. I am upgrading it as you read this. 

[Ilias22]

I wish i knew forum from the first day ....It takes me over a week to play in level but if i knew this article....

[Fosius]

Thank you, I was unsure what kind of deck to pick again after coming back from a while, and I like having a good start.

[shadow303]

I came up with almost the same deck for my favorite element as specified here
But interesting to read also about the other elements - thanks for the tutorial.

Hmm, I'm a beginner at this, but I"d like to suggest a slight modification to the 'Light' deck, which is the element that I chose (I'm beginning to feel like it's one of the weaker elements >.<).  I had noticed that with the suggested 17 light pillars, I was okay pretty much 100% of the time when I battled at the 2nd level, but when it had passed that stress-test I moved it on up to Lvl 3 and was rather constantly running dry or running low on Light.  I gradually added light pillars and now (at 19 pillars), I get a pretty consistant 6 pillars in my first hand (sometimes one or two more, sometimes one or two less), which means that I can usually get a dragon out on my third turn (rather crucial on Lvl 3, I've found).  Now, it works about 75-80% of the time on Lvl 3 (or at least enough to make it profitable...especially when you count in the spin's bonuses and the extra chance to get a card compared to Lvl 2).

So anyways, just a suggestion. ^^  I just thought I'd give you some feedback on your decks.  Other than that, it's worked out great!  It's been a good, relatively cheap way to grind Lvl 3, which is just what I needed.
