Essence's PlatDeck Compendium

[Jappert]

I like how you can't resist building new decks over submitting an old deck for days in a row.
Sure, you might miss some top 20-100 ranks but building decks is what it's alll about. When you've hit the jackpot  of decks you can always try and go for  that top 10 position.

Fun decks Essence, just remember even though I might not reply, I always check what you've cooked up every day!

This time, I took some inspiration from Graviton and added what I'm starting to think of as "Generic Arena Fire Control" -- 5~6 Explosions, 2 RoFs, 2 Fire Nymphs.  I wanted max HP and I realized quickly that I didn't need the x3 mark, so I didn't use it and went for max HP instead. 

I actually encountered and gave this one a loss with Pestosis. I think the 2x mark hurt you a bit there.

Curious to see how Little Miss Fire will do, I'm currently on a Deja Vu kick and that's one of the decks I've been testing.

I gave the graviton deck 2 losses with zombie0's deck (thank you again zombie0). I also think that x2 mark made it kind of slow and I destroyed the 1-2 towers that came into play at the 1st game so I had a big headstart
But I wanted to say WOW Essence on making that deck and reaching such a high ran ...I really love new ideas <3

Time for a new deck -- LMF kicked butt, but I want to see what I can pull off with a Pegasus.  I figured speed rush, but then I got distracted by notions of a 400 HP Miracle, so I made a deck that tries to do both.  It works decently in testing, but we'll see.

No permanents, in order to slow down PC-users' fun.  RoLs strictly for extra damage and to psyche people into fearing Hope.  Lots of HP, plenty of divebombing action, and enough Miracles to keep things interesting.



Let's see how things roll!






This one is determined to stay in the middle rankings.  Mediocrity FTW!

I spun up an Arsenic, and I think I'mma switch over to a hardcore Death rush and see what happens.

Respect for your originality though!
I respect that alot more then a top 10 position with an immo/firestall or novabow deck. Arena is about building decks imo, not copying others. You're an example for others and you actually make Arena fun to play.

Thanks for that!

Yeah, this deck can completely fail if it managed to 3xBless a RoL before a Pegasus hits the board, because then the AI will keep targeting that Blessed RoL and fail the Bless+Dive part of the deck altogether.

So, I apparently can't commit to a total rush of any kind lately.  I ended up with a nice poison-spider-wings deck that can rush and stall at the same time if the opponent doesn't bring a ton of PC.  I'm actually not all that excited about this deck, but I think it will do well.











Damn -- Loss of HP crippled this one before it could make it to the Top 10.  Too bad.

Wish me luck!

with 2x mark of air, do you really need pendulums? i would sub them in for 4 more towers

It might look like it, but I want to be sure that I can consistently get out Wings and web any flyers that hit the table in the wee turns of the game.

Time for a new deck! 



I spun up an Ash Eater, and I decided that it would be cool to try to do something unusual with Fire.  So, I put together an utterly nuke-centric deck.  Fire Lance, Unstable Gas, and Explosions -- it's like a summer blockbuster.  It's actually not all that difficult to beat if you have serious permanent control, but it should be a "pleasant" change from all of the Fire Stalls and Fire Rushes out there.  Good to see a third tactic for my element.








I doubt this'll make it into the Top 10, but it's a surprisingly strong contender!

I tried that with damselflies, UG's and a fire mark. Problem is that damsels/brimstones get blown to pieces by UG's

Your previous deck was doing great btw (death rush + wings), great job.

[Essence]

Spun up a Deathstalker and decided I'd take a short detour down "this ain't gonna work Boulevard".



I think that says it all.


...And yet, amazingly, it looks like I might be wrong!



That's nothing to sneeze at.
