TADAbow - AI3 Domination, Rainbow style

[kirchj33]

Updated OP with in-depth strategy guide.  Just need to finish 200 games on low quality of USEM/USEMosis for comparison and then it should be complete.

Is there any real need for an Elder breakdown? Also you may want to update the Tadabow in your other threads, as I'm still using those. Now to upgrade a heal...

No real NEED per say, just helps to optimize score farming.  Also, personal interest, the fact that this sort of thing hadn't been done in the past, adds a bit of flair, and makes the OP look more complete drove me to do it.  Watching for opposing landmark quanta pools is really important with this deck if you want to take it to the next level.

I thought I had updated all other posts of mine that included TADAbow, was there one I had missed?

I don't want to hijack this thread, so I'll just say that yes I have done an elder by elder breakdown on one of my decks before. 

However, for the purposes of score optimization that's really of little consequence; it's infinitely useful for players who are unfamiliar with grinding AI3 at all and IMO shows how important and worthwhile a deck is to the creator.

Fixed. Thx.

I played with this deck, it was real fun. Much better than repeatedly playing USEM.

Just on another note - I actually edited the Black Hole | Black Hole (http://elementscommunity.org/wiki/cards-gravity/black-hole-black-hole/) article on the wiki with the new Featured Card Article formatting to include this deck, so hopefully more people will read up on its awesomeness. (I know that the deck would probably be a better suitor for Discord, as Discord is probably the 'main' card that's actually be focused around in the TADAbow, but Discord fits in more things than does Black Hole, so meh. ).

I just wanted to be yet another one to praise this deck. It's extremely efficient (I've used it in over 150 matches vs ai3, with 0 losses so far), and I'm actually having fun while grinding! Thanks a lot for presenting it, and for all the effort with stats and variants.

Having some bad luck with this deck, but I'm sure it'll wear off soon. And apparently I have the unluckiest hand in the history of the Tadabow, because I saw Hope

If you're having an issue, it may be in your discard choices.  After having played 1000+ games of this, I can say that discards are probably the most important skill to learn, and comes mostly with experience. 

It seem like a Hope showing up would be result of not drawing Discords or Black Holes, and poor discarding.... or maybe just the unluckiest hand ever.

I have been able to get TTWs consistently lower than the ones Pika posted so I can assure the deck skill comes from a lot of experience.  I just recently finished recording a 200 game series without a single loss and a 7.58 TTW.  I'm sure it was somewhat lucky because I wouldn't expect to be able to make it 200 games without a single loss again, but I would expect 1 or 2 to be average.  I will post after I finish 200 of USEM and USEMosis for comparison.... zzzz.

Actually just a bad hand... No tower or Supernova until turn 5, discord at 3 but they had too much air quanta to screw and discord actually gave them light quanta to play hope -.-

It says "better than USEM", but I consider USEM old, how does this stack against USEMosis?

Essentially, the three of them are probably roughly equal (USEMtosis > TADAbow > USEM) -- the difference in efficiency between the three are really tiny anyway.

USEM is the most mindless one of the bunch, USEMtosis requires some really quick thinking among the mindlessness, and TADAbow requires a fair bit of thinking and experience to unlock its full potential.
