The Dragon's Arena Decks

[dragonsdemesne]

I did need the brimstones simply because I don't think the AI will cremate anything else in the deck.  That was basically the only reason they were there.  Also, I never put precognition into an arena deck unless it is 35 cards; since it can't gain any advantage from looking at the cards, the only reason to use it is to speed through a deck faster.  If a human were to play this deck for some bizarre reason, then I would agree with you on that point.  I don't think that the shard of patience conflicts with the idea at all, but pest and bravery do somewhat in the later game, since if you are denying the opponent the ability to play much and thus fill their hand up, then shard of bravery can't draw you very much, but it does certainly help in getting to that point in the first place.  The pests are also something from the original version of the deck that I tried to make, which was an extremely weird rainbow, and the pests were a way to use both earth and darkness quanta, but it was trying to do way too much at once (stuff like bonewall/boneyard, ball lightnings, fractal, raging voodoo, and all at once... it was just too much to fit in)

Yeah well, the point of precog then would be bragging rights for it to be 60 cards :p Or if their was a tourny and all decks had to be 60 cards, although I think you'd like that tourny too much.

Pretty much a standard monotime, chosen partially because I really like this deck in pvp (it's not super strong, but it's really fun) and because it's almost a farm with all the rares in it.  Today's card is colossal dragon.  Gravity... dragon...  dragonsdemesne on team gravity in war... it must be the oracle saying we will win.

Will the AI target scarabs before pharaohs and anubis? Because if it doesn't, this awesome deck probably wouldn't work very well. (PS, love this thread!)

[dragonsdemesne]

Absolutely no idea; I didn't test.  I do know that scarabs are reasonably high priority; I remember facing an arena deck using pharaohs and dune scorpions and momentums, and it would always put momentum on scarabs instead of the dune scorpions, which just sat there doing nothing.

The Mono needs no introduction.  Its awesomeness speaks for itself.  (In the unlikely event that you have never heard of The Mono, go pester dm1321 :p )

Today's card is life pendulum.

dat nymphs. Could have it lost that much due to lack of quanta?

Because gravity master element!!!  (pls don't look at round 1 war record nonono bad idea do not do it)  I got the idea for this in gravity's war archives from last war.

Today's card is purple dragon.  Because gravity master element, this will be another gravity duo, or maybe trio, or something.

Because GRAVITYMASTERRACEALLTIME.  (well, with a little help...)

Today's card is flesh spider.  It will also contain much gravitymasterrace.
edit: flesh spider gravity deck is 39-7 at 8 days, rank 22, and 19/39 thumbs up, almost half!  gravitymasterrace.

This deck was down after 9 days, not 10, but damn, still, that's a pretty nice showing.  It got a ton of thumbs ups, and it even got a win on day 8, lol.  It also proves that gravitymasterrace.  Today's card is dusk shield.  It will, of course, contain gravity.

3x mark needed? I think with only having 9 death cards in a 40 card deck 2x would suffice and take that extra 10 HP.
