The Dragon's Arena Decks

[dragonsdemesne]

Naa, my idea was to use a death duo and add bone walls and graveyards and desiccates and nymph's tears (for grey nymphs).  I'm hoping I'll be able to flood stuff and/or make cells and then desiccate it and make a skeleton army.  I also have shard of patience for said skeleton army

Sounds too complicated. You are going to overload the ai

I didn't expect anything at all from this deck.  One win would have been a victory :p  It's far too silly to be practical, but hopefully it would have earned thumbs ups had it somehow won any games.

Today's card is armagio.  I don't think I've ever had that card before as my oracle card, so this should be a good opportunity.

I liked my idea more >.>

thumbs up: 4/17



I thought I was being a lot more creative than I was, until after the first day, when I had no thumbs up at all, and I realized I had basically independently recreated the 'swallow' deck with armagios :p  Ah, well, such is life...

Today's card is voodoo doll.  The other time I got that card, I did a speedbow focusing on voodoo doll synergy, and I have also done raging dolls, so I'll have to find something else.  I'm not sure what else there is yet... maybe overdriven dolls or something, but that's a pretty common idea as well.  I need something more interesting...

Voodoo Dolls with Chaos Power and Pandemonium?

[dragonsdemesne]

I went for trebuchet voodoo dolls on the back of a darkness/gravity denial deck.

Well... not too shabby at all.  I tried to do something completely different with voodoo dolls that the AI would still get right.  Consequently, I played a heavy denial deck with pests/SoFo/black hole/amber nymph/steal in order to deprive the opponent of any resources whatsoever.  The shards of void would take care of weakening the opponent's max hp, and then the finishing blow would either come from an eclipse (on dolls/pests), a trebuchet (on dolls ideally, but SoFo also works) or even the nymphs if HP is drained all the way to 1.  I was worried that there might not be enough quanta to power the deck (I wanted to fit in as much other stuff as possible) but it seems to have been sufficient.  I was also worried that people might downvote it because of all the hated cards, but it managed roughly a 1/3 rating. (slightly less than)  I have noticed a trend towards people giving less and less thumbs ups in recent months, and so while this rate would've been fairly low a year ago, it's not too bad now.

Today's card is morning star.  Not sure what I'm going to do on that one, yet, but I was actually thinking some sort of bizarre stall with shard of patience, maybe even shard of freedom.

thumbs: 4/13 (can't believe this wasn't higher...)



Seriously... this deck is so cool, it should have gotten tons of thumbs ups.  I've never seen anything like this :p  Flying free wise patient morning glories.  With shards of the void... yeah, I'm sure that's been done a thousand times before.  As to deck design, I didn't include quite as many of the nonlight cards as the novas could power because the animate weapons might take some of the off quanta (and making those into flying weapons takes away from shards of freedom air quanta) so I used one less of everything than the novas could power, except shard of patience, because that one was so important to the deck's strategy, and because only one really needs to be played, anyway.

Today's card is heal.  Not sure if I've had that one before; I certainly haven't had it recently, and I don't usually use it in my decks, so I should be able to find something I haven't done before quite easily.

A rush + Heal.
A Heal stall.
^Don't do one of these and I'll give you a thumbs up

I'm not really sure what this deck is supposed to be :p  It's some strange mix of catatitans, healing, and denial.  I figured it would be fairly unique, and gravity and life is a more unusual duo.

Today's card is schrodinger's cat.  Bone walls seem the obvious thing... so I'll do something else.  I think I did that once before anyway.

You do realize that not every deck has to be 60 cards right?
