I purposely designed this deck to be both as silly as possible and to use as many rares as possible :p  It's quite surprising it did this well, given those two criteria.  However, I suppose the deck is pretty much a gimped version of standard monoaether phase dragon/SoW/phase shield or whatever, so the fact that it did alright maybe isn't so surprising, after all.

Today's card is boneyard.

I can't remember what event it was, but I did something kind of like this in some PvP event, only with less elements.  (I know it had grey nymphs and immolation, but that's as far as I can remember)  It did considerably better than I would have expected, particularly since I know the AI will cremate stuff and THEN play soulcatcher afterwards.

Today's card is chrysaora.

I based this deck on a shard of patience BL deck in my collection.  I thought it was a really cool idea, but the masses have disagreed.  Sometimes I don't understand the masses... :p  Today's card is toadfish. 

[dragonsdemesne]

Well, this is certainly interesting.  Since I spun toadfish, I decided to be a bit silly and instead of my usual upgrades/draw/mark max and the rest into HP, I maxed HP/draw/mark, and used 0 upgrades, so that I'd actually have toadfish instead of pufferfish.  The deck is 9-0 so far, fully UNupped, in PLATINUM :p  It also has 5/9 thumbs ups and is rank 49 so far.

Behold, the no upgrade platinum deck!  Made it to 8 days and made at least one 1hp win that I noticed, and got a very high thumbs up ratio!  Today's card is lobotomizer, and I think I remember doing a fairly silly flying SoW lobo deck recently, and I have no good ideas, so it's farm time.

This one's from awhile ago due to the bugs that Elements was suffering from last week, but which were fortunately fixed; the arena's age was left unchanged to compensate, so that's why the longer delay.  This is another of my 'low quanta' weenie decks; I chose it this time to show off my newest acquisition, a 3rd mark of fire   (Also, I didn't really have any other ideas :p)  Today's card is parasite, which might be a tough one.  There are lots of cool decks with that card, but most of them are really hard for the AI to play properly.

A general lack of number of plays kept this deck going for a whopping twelve days.  That, and it was ranked fairly highly (I remember seeing it peak around rank 50 or so on day 6, but decks of similar age had 20+ more plays) so it took awhile to dip below the 500 mark.  Today's card is earthquake, which is a hard one to do, at least if I also want to get thumbs ups, because it's just an annoying card in general.  Still, I'll try to figure something out...

Well, this deck did extremely poorly in terms of thumbs up ratio.  I didn't expect too much, given how annoying earthquake is, but I tried to make it a little more interesting, and apparently failed :p   Today's card is pandemonium.

50% thumbs ups   Yay for random stuff and yay for nymphs!  Today's card is gnome rider.

This deck... it's like the Energizer bunny.  It keeps going, and going, and going... it's gotten at least a couple wins at 1hp, too :p

Pests gave the deck a couple 1hp wins.  That, combined with very few plays per day, gave this deck a whopping SIXTEEN days in the arena, which is a personal record.  Today's card is phase salvager.

This one didn't make it very far (with phase salvager, that's not very surprising) but at least it got 40% thumbs ups.  Today's card is thorn carapace.  As usual, shields typically require a larger deck, to help mitigate the problem of having extra copies of a shield.  I'm not sure what I'll do yet, but I've got a bit of a weird idea...
