(the thumbs up rating will be skewed because the deck was in the top 10 at one point)

Pretty simple little monolife deck, although with a few slight quirks.  Very surprised that it did as well as it did.  Today's card is stone dragon.

This was a fairly basic deck, nothing too innovative, although I don't normally run it with stoneskins.  (or dragons, for that matter...)  I figured I'd give it a try and see what happened.  I can't recall exactly how high it made it in rank, but I'm pretty sure it was at least top 100 at its peak, maybe better.

Today's card is fire spirit.

I was on vacation this week, so I don't know if the deck lasted the full 8 days or not, but based on the number of plays, it probably did, or at least got very close.  Today's card is fractal, allowing for quite a few different possible ideas.

edit: fractal deck SS (I thought it would fractal the cats... I think this is better)

Seven days for what is typically considered a joke deck is quite good.  However, I am appalled at the low thumbs up count on it.  Interestingly, I assumed that the AI would fractal the cats, but in the one game I tested, after seeing the deck somehow survive the first day, was that it fractalled the condors instead.

Today's card is short bow.  I really hate getting neutral weapons; there is very little new that can be done with them.  I'm going to try a crusader deck.

There's a bit of everything in this deck :p  I'm very surprised it did as well as it did; perhaps the versatility of it helped?  I'm wondering if I should have used a miracle or two, though I guess they wouldn't have been very useful later in the week, anyway.

Today's card is firefly.  I'm going to try some sort of trio with air, fire from the fireflies, and then something else (to be determined) from the mark.

Epinephrine, perhaps? Speeds up the Fire income a bit, you could use Fahrenheit or Lances for an offensive deck. Unsure how well it'd work, though.

That's actually pretty much what I did, except I used green nymphs instead.

I couldn't even remember what deck I made, it lasted so long... this deck looks fun :p  Far more fun than the thumbs up ratio would suggest...  Today's card is sanctuary.

Only the high thumbs up ratio kept this from being a one day flop.  I thought it might do better, but it probably didn't know when to play the right cards, like usual :p  Today's card is ice dragon.

Super boring deck, and the thumbs up rating shows that fact.  I didn't think a dead simple rush like this would do quite so well, though.  The fact that it went ten days with no purify for sosac probably means that not many people are farming with pdials anymore.  I don't really know what people use vs the arena anymore; I just make stuff for fun :p

Today's card is parallel universe.  It's one that always bugs me when spun, because it's probably the card that the AI plays worst in the entire game.

It took 2 or maybe even 3 days to get that last one play  to knock it down from ~rank 450ish; otherwise, it wouldn't have made it this long.  I figured the TU adrenaline nymph thing was slightly creative, though I'm sure a lot of people just saw dimspam and thumbed it down.  Today's card is sapphire charger.
