Fairly decent thumbs up ratio on this one (roughly 3/8) although I thought it was even more creative than the ratings gave it credit for, because I've never seen this done before, and I even restrained myself from using shards of sacrifice :p  Lots of little creatures to benefit from shard of patience, coupled with tons of activations off of physalia and toadfish as needed, and some bone walls for defense.  I am quite surprised it lasted this long, though.  (9 days!)  I think on either day 1 or 2 it was something like top 20, until it took a few losses.

Today's card is pandemonium.  I was thinking that the art kinda looks like some dude with a couple of soccer balls, but that might just be the World Cup   I don't know if it's possible, but I'm going to try and make a world cup themed arena deck :p  The first thing that comes to mind is ball lightning, because balls, but I don't know if I can do any better than that.  We'll see...

6/7 thumbs ups...    I remember having problems with immocatcher in the past where the AI would play a creature, immolate it, and -then- play soulcatcher.  When I built this deck, I figured it should be a lot harder for the AI to screw that sort of thing up; as long as it had all the cards in hand, it didn't matter what order they were played.  I just realized looking at this that, other than the marks, there aren't any rares in the deck.

As promised, I tried to make a world cup themed deck here.  Ball lightnings, because soccer balls.  Pandemoniums, because art looks like a guy kicking a soccer ball.  Graveyards, because Spain... 

Today's card is Heal.  I have an idea for this deck, one that isn't completely original, but one that I think with the elements I'm going to choose for it, is somewhat unique.

A most disappointing performance, especially when one takes into account that the sole thumbs up was given by... me, and that I conceded the game right before I defeated it in order to do so :p  (Luckily I was using shard of patience!)  The basic concept was an earth/life take on the classic earth/light 'the immortal' deck.  Today's card is stone dragon, which is a bit of a nuisance because I've had that a few times lately, I think.  I did 'the immortal' with dragons one time, I know that for sure; I think I had one or two other similar decks as well.  This one might be quite tough to find something interesting to do with.

when you get earth or gravity dragon next time, make some OTK the AI can play right, as a challenge to you.

[CuCN]

"some OTK te AI can play right" doesn't exist, or at least the AI won't play it as an OTK.

I had no idea what to do with the umpteenth stone dragon, so I made a monoearth deck that had only creatures and quanta, and hoped that would be unique enough.  I got dune scorpion today, which is a fairly narrow card, unfortunately.  I do have a rather bizarre idea to try... hopefully someone will think it's unique :p

By the way, I added this thread to one of my tutorials, From Rags To Riches 2.0.

Thanks for the link, Chapuz.  I'm not sure how this thread will help someone get rich, since that's not quite what I'm going for here, but if it helps anyone, that's rather the point of it, so I'm all for it.

I started this deck with the dune scorpion/shard of patience idea, and then went from there.  Pharaohs and deja vus work well with shard of patience as well, and then nymphs are just cool.  A few other control cards and the deck was done.

Today's card is drain life.  I'll have to think of something clever, given the hatred of monodarkness.  Also, I got to level 78 a few days ago, so my decks will have 190hp now.

No fancy table today; I'm out of town and I don't know how to get the code for it on this browser.  When I get home I might generate an image for it.

Oracle card: Siphon life

(60 cards, level 78, 190hp, max everthing else, deck mark darkness)
(20 wins 8 losses, 7/20 thumbs up.  not sure how long the deck lasted; it's at 8 days now, but I know it dropped out at least a day or two ago, I just haven't bothered, since I'm not at home right now)

I tried to make a 12-bolt deck and used the shards to speed it up.  Despite the fact that it would waste bolts in my one game testing before I left, it seemed to do pretty well.  Today's card is lava golem.

edit: added deck image.  Only other thing I wanted to add is I deliberately didn't use any shields or weapons, figuring that the 6x steals would be used on player's weapons/shields and overwrite them anyway.

Almost 50% thumbs up is pretty nice.  (45%)  I suspect it comes from using heavy armour when it wasn't my oracle card :p  It should be pretty obvious what I was going for here; it's quite straightforward.  Growth + heavy armour = lots of chances to rage my own destroyers.  Today's card is fahrenheit, and I have a rather interesting idea for that one, assuming that I haven't already done it.
