thx a lot by the shrieker rush. just wasn't founding a decent one in the forums but this one helped a lot...

I suggest optimising the Fire and Light decks as we did with Death. The best Light rush is generally considered to be this, a Pegasus rush: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,12931.0.html
As for Fire, if we want to avoid Immolation rushes or pendulums, the simplest deck would be 6 Phoenixes, 6 Dragons and a Short Sword. Phoenixes help a lot against the new Elders and all AI by absorbing CC.

Since the Elders and AI have been updated, I think it'd be great if we could improve all the decks here, as it's a very useful thread. I'm less sure on how to improve the Time deck without going into other elements, but the monodragon rush works alright, I suppose.

I actually avoided a Pegasus deck, for the sole reason that the deck is very vulnerable to Reverse Time, Devourers, and Maxwell's Demons. Believe me, I tested a LOT of different deck types before I settled on that one. I have never been happy with it, but now that there is a completely new batch of level 3 opponents, I will have to go back to the drawing board with many of these decks anyway. Coincidentally, I was contemplating a Pegasus build once I saw the new level 3 metagame. I will test for a guide soon.

Immolation is a fine choice now, because it doesn't cost much. It used to cost almost as much electrum as a dragon, which is why I chose to leave it out of my guide for Fire. Like the other guides, it is time for yet another revisit to bring the thread up to date.

thanx for the thread, im using the shrieker rush right now.

Nice tutorial. After resetting twice I found this thread and built the earth starter from here (shrieker rush). It's a great starter deck and really easy to play. I've since moved on to other builds, but still have all the cards for it and use it to do some quick farming or PvP  matches.

I think the post should be updated soon as I think it's a tad outdated based on the new AI3, the new cards and such.
For the sake of newbies, this be updated.
I think we should have some debate on this thread about what decks to put in.

For the Aether deck, you might wanna put that you can fight AI5 with it...
