Vampire stall!  With more crusaders for more vampires!

Today's card is firefly.  I will challenge myself to make a trio that doesn't use unstable gas or blue nymph for this one.

Just LOOK at the thumbs up rating on this one!  I haven't beaten 50% for quite a long time.  (other than decks with like 1-2 wins before dropping out)  I'm really quite surprised; even though I haven't seen anything quite like this deck before, I thought that it would probably be too annoying for people.  I guess the novelty outpaced the annoyance factor.  I tested a few games out against it, and it was really quite fast, and thanks to the triple mark and shards of bravery, silences were very easy to play.

Today's card is dissipation field.  That's one I am not sure if I have ever built around, and rarely see in the arena, so I have a good chance to do something interesting here.  It'll probably have to be a rainbow, so the most likely deck is a rainbow stall, or possibly a speedbow, but hopefully I can find something else.  The only other possibility is to do a deliberately unupped monoentropy, but I don't think that can cut it in platinum.

edit: I just had an idea.  I'm going to run  shards of gratitude (because sanc screws with dissipation field) and protect artifact, to protect the fields and the shard stack.  I will either do a life mark, or maybe a darkness mark and shards of void.

I dunno... I thought it was a clever use of a lot of cards that don't usually see much use at all, much less together.
edit: today's card is aether pendulum.

Another surprisingly well-received submission with over 50% thumbs ups   It's dead simple, but it's effective.  Fractal the brimstones, make tons of quanta, and bolts/fahren to death.  I'm not sure if the AI ever tries to fractal fahrenheit, but that might weaken its effectiveness as an arena deck a bit.  It did indeed last to 9 days; after 8, it was still in the rank 400s somewhere, so it wasn't me being lazy.

Today's card is forest spirit.

The AI will Fractal the cheapest creature it has the quanta to play, which won't be a Fahrenheit unless it hasn't got any brimstones.

Pretty sure nobody saw this trio coming... :p  I basically spliced life into my 'the real neptune' league deck, which uses gnomes, wardens, squid, trident, and shard of patience to quickly grow an army, since over half of that deck is creatures.  Here, the ratio isn't quite as high, but life lets me use bonds and nymphs and mitosis as well.  Bonds give valuable healing against slower decks, and green nymph adrenaline means that even with shard of patience, some creatures can attack.  (anything under 15 attack will hit at least once)  Mitosis works well on gnomes or wardens since they're dirt cheap (or free!) but I'm not sure what the AI priority was.

I used a random number generator to make a random trio, and this is the result.  I didn't expect too much from it, but I thought it would be fun   Today's card is permafrost shield.

it still managed a 50% thumbs up rate!

My first thought with permafrost shield was shockwave instagibs.  After that... I just threw stuff in as it came to me.  Today's card is holy light.

A bit of a cheat on this one, since it's basically ignoring my oracle card, but whenever I get a 0 cost card, I prefer to run it in a deck that uses it in a more unconventional way like this.  Given that it has no CC at all other than gravity shield (AI will not use holy flash to damage something) and that it's full of denial, I am surprised that it even managed a 1/3 thumbs up ratio, and that it lasted 7 days.  Today's card is bone dragon; it'll be hard to come up with something new for that, but who knows... it might happen!

[CrockettRocket]

HOLY CRAP! That lasted 7 days?! Look at how many gravity cards you have, (3) a triple mark, and how many earth pends you have. Also no earth card costs more then 4, so running 5 earth pends and 6 gem finders would've been perfect quanta balence but that deck is EXTREMLY (ik pulvys skill) over populated on gravity, and probably a lot mid to late game on earth.

I'd like to think this deck would have garnered a veritable crapton of thumbs ups.  I think it's totally awesome, and would have thumbed it up in the arena, and I'm really stingy there.  However, we will never know... Today's card is entropy pendulum.
