The Dragon's Arena Decks

[Submachine]

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.

It couldn't be dunkelheit, because he won against it.

I was hoping this would at least get thumbs ups; I didn't think it would do very well, given the AI's tendency to save TUs for an OTK.  But hey, at least I didn't use pests :p

Today's card is burning pillar.  I'll build a deck around that, but since it's just over an hour to the next oracle, I might change if I get something really cool and inspiring.

edit: Pretty sure people will hate this one :p  But it's an interesting proof of concept (or lack thereof) to see how it does.  6 firebolt 6 SoB, 3 fahrenheit, 20 quanta.  edit: spun chimera, so this deck stays up.  sorry...

Why question marks next to thumbs up/down?

[serprex]

Thumbs up/down can stray if your deck wins while T10

Not bad for a deck that only has three different nonquanta cards, I suppose :p  Sorry it wasn't more creative, but at least it was rather amusing.  Surprisingly, it still got 14/39 thumbs ups, which isn't great, but it isn't terrible, either.  Today's card is chaos seed.  There's quite a few options with that one, so I'll try to do something extra fun, since this one was rather dull.  edit: also, this deck made it to 8 days, so yay :p

I figured this should be fairly high on the creativity end, but I really didn't expect it to win as many games as it did.  It was hardly an overpowered deck, but I didn't expect it to last more than a day or maybe two if I was lucky.  I'm hoping that the AI would chaos power the flying daggers and then endow them; whether it managed to do this correctly or not, I have no idea.  I was hoping that because of the way I designed the quanta (novas + 3x light mark) that it would do it in the correct order simply because with two novas to start it would ideally play a flying dagger and chaos power it before it even had the quanta to cast crusader, and once the AI starts buffing one creature, it usually will keep buffing the same one again and again, because it sees it as 'the best creature' it's got.

Today's card is luciferin, which gives me several interesting options with the 'other' quanta cost.  Unfortunately, it's also a card I've had quite a few times, so it's getting tougher and tougher to find something unique to do with it.

[Dunkelheit]

played against it, AI used it as intened, silence fucked me up, lost horribly, thumbed up, good job =)

Just a little bit TOO silly on this one... :p  I didn't expect much, anyway, but I was hoping for a win or two.  Today's card is psion.  I don't think I've had that one before.

Twinned adrenapsions!  With healing!  I tested one game against it, and found, as usual, that the AI is awfully stupid holding onto parallel universe, so it probably didn't do nearly as well as it should have.

Today's card is pharaoh.  I don't think I've built around that one, before, so I'll try to do something extra cool.  I remember seeing a darkness mark pharaoh deck up at #1 in the arena once and wondering what it was... maybe I'll try that, or something even stranger!

I know that I only had it up for a few hours, but I spun black nymph tonight, and I want to do spell-less liquid antimatter again :p    I normally don't repeat decks, but I just -have- to for that one.  How often do you see it? :p

[Chapuz]

easiest explanation of that lose: no purify 

As for LA, pack some healing. black nymph is good for dragons. If you don't, you may lose against PDials

I faced this with a 500HP deckout stall. I didn't even realise it had TUs in it until they came up in the spins. I'm sure I would have lost if the AI had been clever enough to play them. Fun deck though, I would have given it thumbs up.
