I wonder how many people can build this deck...   This one looks to me like it should've gotten a lot more thumbs ups than it did... but whatever.  Today's card is Gargoyle.  I can't remember the last time I had that card, so I wanted to find a use for it that's hopefully new.

Nah, I'm missing an upped Amber Nymph...

What's your thought process behind choosing Anubis over Turquoise? Grey also would have fitted in there nicely.

I think he chose Anubis for the extra 2 uses of it's skill with SoR.

The Gargoyle grabbow without graboids... over 50% thumbs ups are good

Today's card is shrieker.  I think I'll pair it with silence, just so I can call the deck 'silent shriekers'.

edit: deck is rank 18 with 14-0 winrate.  Thumbs ups is really high so far, too.
edit: rank5 with 19-1 winrate and almost perfect thumbs ups!  Fairly surprising, given how dull the deck is, though...

Anubis was easier to play because of the deck's triple time mark and the mindgates using most of the aether quanta, as well as it working better with SoR as mentioned.  Grey nymph was cut for space.

This deck was 21-1 and rank 5 at one point, so thumbs up ratio is skewed, but it was at very close to 100% at one point outside the top 10.  I really don't get why, as it's a very basic deck, but whatever.  Today's card is precognition, and I have a good idea for this one, but I'm not certain if I can design it in a way that the AI will play it correctly or not.

I thought this was going to do way better than it did in terms of winrate.  There was probably some sort of quanta imbalance that I didn't work out properly in the 30 seconds I took to build the deck, or else it had my infamously bad luck with immorushes applied to it.

Today's card is minor vampire, and I can't recall using that one for a long time, so I decided to try something with it.
edit: 19-0 rank 10 with minor vampire so far.  Sadly, the deck isn't very imaginative...

So does that mean you'll be using no upgrades in order to have minor vamps?

[dragonsdemesne]

Not this time.  Basically it's just a monodarkness rush.  It's 19-0 so far but not many thumbs ups; about a third or so.

[dragonsdemesne]

Been awhile since I got one of these... too bad it's a boring deck.

The thumbs up ratio is obviously skewed on this deck due to the #1 placement.  There's really nothing exciting about this deck other than that.  Today's card is fractal, and there's always lots of fun things to do with fractal.  (fractal anything is viable.... well, almost)

[dragonsdemesne]

Owing to the recent discontinuance of Flash by Chrome, I'll start doing my arena journey this way.  I've always thought a fractal shard golem deck just sounds like such a cool idea, and with arena triple mark, it was easier to make happen.  I've had an idea in my head for awhile now for a denial style deck, but I've been waiting for a decent card in one of the right elements, and I finally got one in the form of Hematite Golem.  Sorry in advance...

edit: Heh, my evil denial deck is 20-1 and rank 6 so far after 6 days... it's even more evil than I thought!
