m......'s arena decks

[mwaetht]

Apparently, it's a fad recently to make threads for all your arena decks nowadays, especially for Platinum (presumably because Platinum has a lot of dedicated players). Not sure if mine are worth looking at, since they almost never get into top 100, but I might as well. Updated whenever I remember to.

Oracle card: Stone Pillar

Sorry for the 'other' shards. I've tried some other Shard Golem arena decks in the past, such as an attempt to fuel Cloaks that never really got off the ground, but none have been this successful yet. Its final stats were 22-6, 11 thumbs ups. The highest rank I saw it go to was Rank 124. I decided to take it down because there was something I wanted to try with SoSac, which is doing well so far. More when I decide to take the SoSac deck down.

Oracle card: Flesh Spider

Motivated, of course, by the fact that the AI only plays six SoSac. It also tends to play them early, so the opponent can just bait them out if they have a good slow deck. SoI helps against both problems... well, that's the theory, anyway. Highest rank it got to was 127, ironically. I took it down at 34/8 (15 thumbs ups) when I got Reverse Time, since I have an old arena deck I'd like to repost. I'm interested in seeing how it does, since the last time I used this it only had one Rewind.

Well, that was disappointing. Its highest rank was 202 and it only lasted two days before dropping out (18-6, 8 thumbs ups).

On the plus side, I got Freeze today.

That went about as well as I thought it would (0-3). Come on! Not even a win against some idiot grinding with Poison Dials (me)?

I got Diss Shield today. I have no ideas. If I can't think of something before I leave today I'll just put up a farm.

Out of morbid curiosity, I decided to make a deck for Dissipation Shield with SoFo and Black Hole, but not Discord, just to see if this was still true. As far as I can tell, it is. Not posting the deck, but it went 6-1.

Got Maxwell's Demon today. I've always meant to try an Entropy/Aether duo based around buffing/TU.

+1 upped Phase Salvager.

This deck can be most generously described as "crashing and burning". 4-4, one thumbs up. The idea was that since the AI plays spells before abilities, it would play the buffs and hopefully the TUs before quinting. Unfortunately, it didn't work out any better this time than the other times I tried this kind of deck.

I got Dim Shield today.

Derrrrp. 0-2. Forgot to write the deck code down before making a new arena deck, but it was a Dim Shield/Miracle deck.

Got Arsenic today.

Somewhat lackluster; 6-3, one thumbs up. In retrospect it would have had an unfavorable matchup against most common arena grinders, so I'm surprised it won six times.

I got Obsidian Pillar today.

[mwaetht]

Forgot to record the deck before posting a new one... again. 7-4, 4 thumbs ups, Vader Sader variant with lots of SoD.

Got Gavel today. The deck I'm thinking of loses consistently to SoSac, so I'm hoping the large number of Purify-containing decks in Plat means nobody uses SoSac much to farm it anymore.

1-3, no thumbs ups. Well, that was humiliating. I got Freeze today, which might be interesting.

...Wow. 16-6, 10 thumbs ups. I never expected this deck to do so well, especially since my farmer beats it consistently. Its best was Rank 25, the best I've ever gotten. It went undefeated 15 games in a row before suddenly going 1-6 overnight.

I got Graviton Fire Eater today, but I'm wondering whether or not to wait for a more interesting card.

Oracle card Adrenaline. 7-4, 3 thumbs ups. Somewhat disappointing...

Deja Vu today.
