GAEM: Giant Amphibi'EM v2.0

[Nadrin]

Awesome.

Moar EMs. And to think how much you've changed from when I knew you on Kong as a noob

Darn Kong noobs. Rather interesting. I do like the ideas of frog over cockatrice due to speed, but I think after some testing it'll be found that cockatrices do more damage long term. Maybe while testing, just keep an eye on that? PSNBows seem to be dominating rainbow areas atm. Kudos, well done.

Fortunately I believe that the vulnerability regarding Frogs can be rectified by using Chaos Powers on them over other creatures (I generally found this was helpful while testing BOOOM! so it should work here too).

That's true.  And those should be the first two cards you should be able to play, so it should work great.

Yeah, in my testing, a choas frog generaly solves the fragility issue and keeps the earty damage on the table.

BTW, I need a new name for this guy.  Frogs FTL.

Heh, I love the new name

Gotta admit; that new name is catchy

Added stats for GAEM to the True Efficiency Study (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,21530.msg294199#msg294199).  Pretty solid through 50 games.

Comments: The lack of permanent control is troubling -- the more I games I played with the deck, the more I wished I had Explosions.

Yeah that looks wierd, 3 heal should be more like 6.7 than 7.7.

I think Pika had it at 7.08 for v. 1.26 but yeah.  Maybe improved AI hurt this deck more than others for some reason.

Probably not. The small sample size still isn't really enough to give conclusive results (i.e. back in v1.26, I had a TTW of 6.7 in the first 50 games).

Anyways, I'll be testing a -1 CP, -1 Phoenix, +2 Explosion variant (shields are the bane of this deck) for TTW Study 3.0.
