bripod's 500hp EM Deck mod

[CrockettRocket]

You need a lot higher then 50% to stay in plat though. I think you need a 70% wr. Ive seen 17-4 be out of plat.

This isn't an arena deck, it's a deck meant to grind arena, anyone who played this game for more than 5 minutes is aware that AI couldn't possibly play this.

Yes, I know this but we have a guy who posted he's gonna put this as his arena deck. Anyone whose read the comments/replies for 5 minutes that hasnt read the same thing over and over is aware of this.

I just said I wanted to try it as an arena deck, Im aware that it wont work well but I just want to find out myself.

Why did you quote me and not inthisroom/makku? XD. Sure I guess quoting me works since I was talking about you to him.
 P.S. To use this as an arena deck your oracle card needs to be SoG, Sundial, Granite skin, protect artifact or, of course, Quantum pillar.

I know, it can be modified though, anyway. I will tell you about the results when I actually try it;p

Ok... In an attempt to steer this thread back towards the topic, I'd like to discuss one of the strategies I often find myself using with this deck.

Playing Under the Ray of Light:

At times you might find your hand clogged and not really have enough  Q to start playing out all of those Skins you have flipped up on the right side of the screen. Remember, we're trying to get to 500hp here...

Hmmm, what to do... let's see. Well, if you have your Eternity on the board, an Hourglass in play and a RoL in hand, here's just the thing for you!

Play under the RoL...

- Play the RoL
- Use the Hourglass to draw the next card in your deck
- Use Eternity to Rewind the RoL back into your hand
- Repeat and watch your  Q grow until you can dump a Skin and open up a slot in your hand...

This little trick can get you quite a few more 500hp EM's than you might normally think! Why settle for 438hp's when you can "Play under the RoL" and get the full 500...  8)

Enjoy! and feel free to share any tips and tricks you use with this deck.

How many turns does it take to get a 500 EM win?

How many turns does it take to get a 500 EM win?

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?

These games are not fast by any means... eh, 40 might be a good avg but if you hit a 120 carder it might be a bit longer...

If you watch the Base Payout in Gold and Plat you can see how big the reward will be.

Use this formula to calculate the Electrum payout: (Score Payout is half of this.)

Base Payout * ((Max Hp / 2 + 50) / 100) * (If (End Hp = Max Hp , 2 , (End Hp / Max Hp)))

maybe that will make sense to someone who can explain it in something other than "Excel Speak"...

Note of interest: Plat at 250 base and a 500hp EM = 1 Card Upgrade..

Same question you asked on my post, "Got any stats vs arena?" Like how many turns it takes to get to that center of the tootsie pop? (Turns till 500HP EM on average, so only count the games where you not only win, but 500HP EM and no less for about 50-100 games would be a very significant stat!) 

[bripod]

My stat keeping consists of a rather long Excel sheet going back to July 2011 that tracks:

Score, Daily Wins/Losses, Total Electrum, Cards, CTO, Overall W/L, Overall and Daily %, Note Section

Maybe I'll do a detailed run with this deck over the weekend and give you guys a peek...

It took you 3 years to finally reveal this piece of work? And you just started to relive in the glory days to try it out on arena?
