The Dragon's Arena Decks

Absolutely no idea :p  I did notice that after posting the deck, but I didn't test it, so I have no idea.

If you havent found out the answer yet by asking chat or testing, we should figure it out together in a PvP duel for if BH heals while sosa is active. Then tomarrow, as a challenge for us both we must include 12 sosacs and 12 black holes in 35 card decks and see what the hell the AI does, cant be rush decks though because the combo might not come out. I just put my arena deck up today, same as you, so we will probably have to cut it short.

EDIT: We must keep it 12 sosacs and 12 BH even when we find out the answer, no matter the answer. This could be a suicidal expireament. Best way for ai to play BH under sosac is death pends of course.

Oh, I know black hole will heal (i.e. deal damage under SoSa) when you cast it with SoSa active; I've done that before.  What I have no idea is whether the AI will play black holes with SoSa active.

[CrockettRocket]

Way to ruin a perfectly good pvp moment.

EDIT: My arena deck: 11 death pendalums, 6 sosacs, 6 black holes, 9 darkness pillars, 4 black dragons, 6 devourers, 3 nightfalls. +Oracle card voodoo doll.

2ND EDIT: Probably will change the death pends to pillars and add more death cards, BH can be spammed off mark.

 I wasn't feeling particularly inventive for this one, and all I did was a giant monolife stall deck.  I'm surprised it did as well as it did, or that it managed 13/35 thumbs ups, given how boring it likely was.  I spun emerald pillar today, so I could do basically the same thing... but I won't :p  I've got a rather interesting idea I'm going to try, based on a deck I've seen in CL lately... but modified.

I guess this one wasn't quite fast enough.  I suppose it does lose to pdials, swallow, and rol/hope.  Ah, well... such is life in the arena.  Today's card is catapult.  I've had that one a few times before, and it's tough to find something inventive to do with it.  I'll try to come up with something, otherwise it'll be a farm.

Admittedly, this was an extremely simple and obvious idea, but it's still one I very rarely see done, so I am fairly surprised that it got 0/5 thumbs up.  I suppose not everyone appreciates the same types of decks I do.

Today's card is gravity pendulum.  I'm not sure what I'll do with that, but I'm going to try and do something really unusual.  For some reason, graviton guard is speaking to me right now... I'm going to try and base a deck around it somehow.

A rather weak stall, based on the surprisingly durable graviton guards for attack.  It did not do well at all, but at least the one person it beat appreciated it.  Today's card is fire pendulum.  I'm going to do a spin on something I did once accidentally before.  I'm building a steam machine/red nymph deck with purify, but I'm also adding shard of patience and holy flash for more healing/hps on my creatures, so that they can keep raging and raging and raging...

Steam machines!  I love them... :p  I figured a rather evil combination of red nymph rage potion every turn, along with purify, shard of patience, and holy flash to keep the steamies healing would be rather fun.  It doesn't seem to have impressed too many people, though; most of my decks have been getting around this sort of thumbs up ratio lately.  It almost doesn't seem to matter what I do, I get roughly the same rate of thumbs ups.  This might suggest that most people are just automatically giving the same thumb up/down to virtually everybody, unless a deck is extremely innovative. (or annoying, in the opposite case)  I know for myself I very, very rarely give anyone thumbs ups, and any decks I do give one to really deserved it.

Today's card is guardian angel.  I could try and go with the red nymph thing, but I think I might try something completely different... not sure if this will work, but I don't think I've seen it done before, at least.

I only know that people who lose with PDials against a purify deck, they downvote it automatically, just beacuse of the purify splash. I don't really know about the rest.

Only 7 wins, but 4/7 thumbs up is a pretty darned good ratio.  The deck was 6-1 when I went to work this morning, so I thought it would do as well today, but it didn't.  Today's card is plague, and I don't think I've actually ever built around that card before, so this should be interesting.

[CrockettRocket]

I built an armagio sob miracle deck out deck based off the oracle card armagio and it went 3-3. Got 3 thumbs up! Beat that ratio xD. Short, sweet, and fast 60 electrum from my arena deck.
