Regarding the water-death, what is the point of the nymphs? Ai doesn't target water pillars with NT

If that was true, then explain the FG's (jezebel's) mechanics...

Jezebel targets the stack of water towers once, and then only uses NT on the quantum towers after that.
The AI will never use NT on a water pillar/pendulum if it has a nymph queen.

The simple answer would be because I forgot the AI was stupid and wouldn't use queens on the water towers :p

Well dang, did people hate this or what... I guess it's the pests :p  Sorry...  Today's card is thunderstorm; I'll try to be more friendly this time!

Unless their clearly Darkness affiliated, who would like darkness? Its cold and dark in here. ;_;

My home computer is down (motherboard crapped out) so I'm posting this from work at lunch, so no pretty images or anything.

win/loss: 20-7, thumbs ups: 6/20, age: 9 (this could be wrong by a couple days, since I haven't played elements since about Tue/Wed due to computer issues)

Deck contents: (60 cards, everything upgraded unless noted otherwise) (190hp, double draw, triple mark, max upgrades)
5x thunderstorm
6x flying weapon (deliberately unupped to use mark quanta)
21x amethyst tower
6x Maxwell's Demon
6x Amethyst Dragon
6x Discord
2x Sky Dragon
2x Sky Blitz
2x Improved Fog
4x Shard of Freedom

I was initially going for the synergy between thunderstorm and maxwell's demon.  Since the AI is prone to just thunderstorm for pretty much no reason, I figured that at least with demons out, it might then kill something with paradox that way.  Everything else pretty much got filled in around that.  Today's card is forest spirit.

Yeah, it's kind of an oraclebow, but I thought it was at least somewhat interesting.  The masses seem not to agree, however.  Due to computer issues, it's quite likely this deck didn't last anywhere near the 4 days listed above, but I wasn't able to check up on it.  Today's card is aflatoxin.  In honour of my computer being back up again, it's farm time!

edit: farm down, card is immolation now.

[CrockettRocket]

With it only playing 9 games, it probably lasted 2 days, if not less.

I thought this was quite a clever take on red nymph voodoo dolls, but everyone hated it.  Lots of quanta generators in brimstones and pests, and shards of bravery help draw into everything to make it faster, which could be quite strong with cremations fueling it as well.  (assuming the nine million cards you just gave your opponent don't let them just win :p)  Ah, well... I should learn, pests in any deck, no matter how cool, end up being thumbed down.  Today's card is electrum hourglass.

with the mark of fire and cremations you really didnt need brimstones.. OR since you have red nymphs you dont need rage elixers, so you could have -6 brimstones or -6 rage elixers and +3 fharen +3 animates if you wanted to keep it a 60 card deck. Also Pest and bravery is conflicting, and somewhat conflicting on patience. I think the braveries should have been precogs cause you're still powering it off cremations. I like the deck though.
