The Dragon's Arena Decks

[antiaverage]

It's a little wider than I was hoping it would be

I feel the same way. I'm not how to improve it, though. Any thoughts on a better layout are appreciated, and I can easily implement just about anything.

It doesn't have a thumbs up calculator, but between four different leagues and possible top ten bonuses, that's not really possible to calculate anyway.

I considered this, but it can get very tricky if your deck breaches the top 10. However, since that's so rare, maybe I should just stick it in there with a caution note to the end user...

I'll try to figure out how to change the table layout for the next post.  If I can find something I like, I'll post that version, but otherwise I'll probably just reuse yours.

Cool, I'll probably take another crack at it at some point.

0/3 thumbs up

@antiaverage: How does this look for display? It's all the same stuff, just in a different place, so it doesn't create a left/right scrollbar because it's so wide.  (if I stretch my browser window to the max, the scrollbar disappears even on your layout, but I always have my browser smaller than maximum so that I can see other windows, my desktop, etc, behind it) 

So, apparently I forgot to add the animate weapons... :p  This might have done a little better had I not made that goof.  Anyway, it was -supposed- to be adrenastaves with shard of patience.  Since I needed water quanta, but wanted a life mark for the shards of gratitude, I figured I might as well add some octopi as well.  Unfortunately, the deck probably got a lot of clogged hands without the AWs, since it would have gotten clogged with carapaces as well as the staffs.  It also probably meant that the deck looked less cool than it was supposed to be, leading to the 0 thumbs ups, since it probably just looked like a really bad mitosquid stall.

Today's card is ice shield.  Same problem, different shield.  I think I'll do something with shockwaves for the potential instagibs, but beyond that, I'm not sure what I'll do, yet.

3/11 thumbs up

Shields are nearly always tough ones to work with... I picked shockwaves because I wanted to freeze/instagib things, and I went with toadfish next because I think they're underused.  The rest slowly fell into place as I just added whatever looked interesting.

Today's card is stone dragon.  I've had that one a lot, doing a dragon catapult deck, a 500hp EM deck with creatures, and I think a monoearth as well, so I'm just about out of ideas for it.  I'm not sure if I'll actually post a deck or if I'll just make a farm for tonight.

[dawn to dusk]

simple: raging dragons with heavy armour and (maybe) golems

not too sure if its been done but im sure it works

This wasn't particularly inventive, but I've had stone dragon enough that I had a hard time thinking of something more clever than this.  Today's card is short bow.  I think I did a novabow with that and creature buffs once, and I might've done an air rush, but I'll check what I've done and choose accordingly.

I like how you reformatted the forum post, so I updated http://dek.im/arena to use your layout.

3/4 thumbs up

A little bit silly, but at least it's a new idea.  3/4 thumbs ups is nice, although a small sample size means it could be a fluke.  I used the unupped flying weapon on purpose so that it wouldn't take away from light/aether quanta, since the triple mark is going to make way more than enough air quanta for the sky blitz.

Today's card is morning star.  Unfortunately, that's going to be an extremely hard one to be creative with.  It'll necessitate using animate weapon, and decks like monolight stall or SoW/glory or glory/SoFr are so overdone that they'll be thumbed down immediately.  I'll try to come up with something clever, but it's going to be really hard.

[Dunkelheit]

Just faced your morning star deck and got lucky cause i forgot to swap my cremation rush for my standart plat deck caus that would have lost horrbly against SoV

and it only drew a vamp in the last turn

hope it get's some more games cause it's something different from the standart morning star decks

Let me know if it seems to be working okay. Here is a sample using my current arena deck:

1/3 thumbs up, and it seems likely that was dunkelheit :p  It didn't get far, but at least hopefully it was a pleasant change of pace from the rather narrow selection of morning glory decks usually seen.

Today's card is parallel universe.  I spun a purple nymph yesterday, but I didn't bother building with it; since that was my 12th purple nymph, I can build arena decks with them whenever I want :p  Not sure what I'll do with parallel universe; I've done PU-dragons, and quite a few other decks, besides, but I'll try to find something.
