Question about farming AI5 vs AI3.
Using my mono-darkness deck I beat AI3 about 95% of the time and EM about 90% of my wins. And it's very quick. And it works almost as well with 0 upgraded cards (the upped pillars help getting out devs on turn 1 & 2 but it still worked before I had any coins to upgrade).
5uk 5uk 5uk 5ul 5ul 5um 5um 5um 5up 5up 5up 5up 5ur 5ur 5us 5us 5us 5us 5ut 5ut 5ut 7t4 7t4 7t4 7t4 7t4 7t4 7t6 7t6 7t6
Basically stall with devs and steals, damage with dragons, damage/life maintenance with vamps and daggers, and finish with DL. As I said, I almost always EM within 15-20 turns.
I've built the 'mostly un-upped rainbow halfblood farmer' deck (well, my version of it):
4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4vm 52n 52r 55r 576 58v 592 592 5c6 5c6 5f6 5f8 5oj 5rl 5rl 5ro 5ro 5rp 5rp 5rp 5up 5up 61t 621 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 74b 74b 7q5 7q5
And it works well against AI5, I certainly win far more than I lose, with fairly frequent EMs when I get everything out. But the hang of it is, EVERY win is 40+ turns. And the turns are longer because I have to actually think about what I'm doing (of course the flip side of that is that games are also way more enjoyable).
So do you guys think it's really faster (in terms of electrum coins per hour) to farm AI5 or just carry on farming AI3 with the faster deck until I have the cash to get the cards to move up to the next level?
