Vampire Nymphs [Needs Improvement] https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=51280.msg1099017#msg1099017

The general idea of this deck is to use nymph tears/queen to create (a) powerful vampire nymph creature(s).

Deck import code : [Select]
5aa 5aa 5aa 5aa 5aa 5de 5de 5de 5de 5de 5gi 5gi 5gi 5gi 5gi 5i4 5i4 5i4 5i4 5ig 5ig 5ig 5ig 5ig 5ig 606 606 606 606 606 8pp

The combo uses a petrified (from auburn nymph) nymph with 2x rage potion (from fire nymph) and vampirism (from dark nymph). The life nymph's ability adrenaline is there to allow the petrified nymph to escape the paralysis in two turns instead of 6. This way you have a high damage vampire creature with a decent enough health to beat most CC.
I've seen dragon vamps before but, i wanted to come up with something slightly more fun. However, this deck is slow and can only beat AI3 and sometimes PVPI so I was hoping someone could help me improve it.

I know that nymph decks have been done before but I haven't seen one utilize this combo so i decided to post it and hope that someone could improve it.

I've noticed that Gravity shields are a pain but adrenalined dark nymphs can usually do enough damage to make up for the lost turns while waiting for your "big" creature to shrink down enough to get by.

Because life and darkness nymphs only cost 2 to activate, I think I'd drop one of each of those pendulums and add one more each of earth and fire, since they cost 3 to activate.  I'm not sure whether that would actually help very much at all, though, and there isn't really a way to speed the deck up without cutting one of the main ideas from it, and I don't think it can be made competitive.

However, because you managed to come up with a deck that I had not previously considered, which is a very rare thing, I gave you +reputation for doing so.

instead of using a quintet of elements, I'd suggest going for a trio: Water (Tears), Darkness (Vampire) and another element with Nymphs that are already decently strong.
For the 3rd one, the options are:
Death: 7 | 8 (can use CC and possible field lock, better use a shield as well here)
Light: 6 | 9 (can heal you for 10 HP as skill without Vampire)
Time: 6 | 8 (can speed up drawing of cards)

also, don't forget that the water Nymph is already 5 | 6 and can also be used as a vampire!

I tried your idea and think I came up with a similar one that is slightly more fun. Its based on the Liquidmatter strategy.

Your ideas win more consistently but aren't as fun to play. I may sound a little whiney when I say this but i would like to be able to use the original combo or something similar. However, I do enjoy the reactions of people in PVPI when they see the flood of nymphs even though they are not exactly a death sentence.

On a side note, I have been running the original for a day and a half now and so for its has about 15 wins and 6 losses. (AI3)  Not enough games to pass a verdict on whether or not its worth using but it is fun to play.
