JCJ's Crazy Platinum Concoctions

I have been meaning to start my own Platinum thread for a while, but wanted to kick it off on a high, so waited until now!

This Rank 1 kicks things off. From now on whenever I build an Arena Deck, I will RNG the aim of that deck. The categories will be:

Rank-Chaser
I'll go all out to reach the Number 1 slot whether it is a "fun" deck or not is irrelevant, Rank is all that matters.
Peak Rank >60: Fail
Peak Rank 21-60: Pass
Peak Rank 1-20: Outstanding

Thumb-Chaser
I am needy. Oh so needy. Love me. LOVE ME! Thumbs ups are all that matters. Must not be an outright farm.
<25% Thumbs Up: Fail
25%-49% Thumbs Up: Pass
50%-100% Thumbs Up: Outstanding

RNG Duo
After rolling this, I will RNG a random element with which to duo my oracle card.
- Rolling a Mono results in a re-roll.
Peak Rank >101: Fail
Peak Rank 51-100: Pass
Peak Rank 1-50: Outstanding

Choice Trio
I am allowed to pick my own elements, but the deck must be a Trio.
Peak Rank >101: Fail
Peak Rank 51-100: Pass
Peak Rank 1-50: Outstanding

Noob God
This is a restricted rank chaser. The deck must contain no Shards, and must use 3x Mark. Must have a Flavour and Name.
Peak Rank >121: Fail
Peak Rank 71-120: Pass
Peak Rank 1-70: Outstanding

If anyone can think of any other categories, gimme a shout!

Unfortunately I have been in the bad habit of cashing electrum every time I log on. I will stop doing this now, but nevertheless, here we are:

Hoorah, with a Rank 1 deck, JonathanCrazyJ's Crazy Platinum Concoctions has begun!

UPDATE 1: Added 'Choice Trio' challenge.
UPDATE 2: Allowed 'RNG Duo' to re-roll Monos.
UPDATE 3: Altered 'Thumb Chaser' percentage requirements. Added 'Noob God' challenge.
UPDATE 4: When Oracle card is a weapon, Flying Weapon will be allowed in any duo or trio decks.
UPDATE 5: 'Noob God' must include a flavour (like most FGs do) and a Name.
UPDATE 6: Altered 'Noob God' rank requirements, due to no shards AND must have a 'flavour' making it tough to get good rank in the meta.
UPDATE 7: Altered 'Rank Chaser' rank requirements, due to being radically harder than the other challenges. I believe they are all now balanced.

Nice way to kick off xD.
Congrats on rank 1

[Faro]

Really good idea !
what about instead of RNG a random element, RNG one randomn card (or 2) that you have to use at least 4 (or 5) of them?

We will see how I do with just RNGing an element. I think effectively forcing myself into two random oracle cards I might struggle to make my "Pass" targets

[Physsion]

That's gotta be one of the cruelest arena decks out there. I love it! Great way to start off your Platinum thread.

Really like the idea you've got going on here, I like the sound of challenging yourself to build towards a specific goal. I've found building trios in the arena is a lot of fun, especially with cards like Cremation - this could be another category to add, along with the RNG duo, if you're looking for more ideas.

You know what, Trio of choice isn't a bad idea. I like, it's going in!

Any other ideas?

RNG Duo!

The second chapter in this RNG journey took a strange turn.

The Duo Colour

Sadly... Time. I was hoping to come up with something exciting, but sadly the challenge for the Duo is currently set to Rank, so... Ghostmare.

Unfortunately I havn't got our of the habit of collecting electrum every time I log in yet. There were actually a decent amount of thumbs up.

The Duo Colour

I got water this. I decided that, as there are a lot of water cards with alternative abilities, I could make a duo along these lines...

And I finally managed to NOT collect electrum!

Thumb Chaser!

Pretty hard to build a deck specifically for thumbs up, because it has to win to get thumbs up. Please reply and tell me if you think I should change the target % for this btw.
