Arena rant https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=33406.msg421286#msg421286

Something needs to be done about the huge influx of mono aether dragon stalls, the mono fire 200hp RoF and dragon decks, the antimatter spam decks and just those incredibly tedious and uninspired decks that populate most of arena.

Especially when they completely ignore the oracle's chosen card and instead go for a ghostmare deck or w/e

Well that's just me

I know something probably won't be done about it because I'm complaining yadda yadda but I bet a lot of you feel the same

Pack plenty of counters to your least favorite decks and then grind arena a lot to remove them for the rest of us :D

Here's an example of a thread just like this, in the right board: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,29321.0.html
It has actually had some effect. We're not hopeless. Unfortunately we have a huge playerbase that isn't active on these forums and don't give a crap about anything besides easy electrum.
:aether  http://elementscommunity.org/forum/guilds/991-thunderbolts-ho!-991/ :aether
Aether is the prime Element present in all things, providing space, connection and balance for all Elements to exist.
Aether represents the sense of joy and union, and the ultimate potential of all things.

Mono Aether: Discord.
Mono Fire: Discord.
Mono Entropy: Discord.
NoTP: Discord.

Problem?


EDIT:
Okay more sophisticated answer:
- The other players (especially in lower levels) may have a very limited cardpool. But naturally, they wanna gather wins in the arena. So what do they do? They build the best deck they are capable of, be it mono aether or NoTP, regardless of the card they spin. While it is annoying, I cannot blame them for that. The solution is to play a lot so you'll have a pretty good picture of the composition of the arena and then bbuild a deck that can beat the ones you'll most likely encounter.

That will always be the case. Live with that.

Hehe I lawled at above.. but yea there are counters for a reason.. so we use them :D You might not want to use the decks strictly prepared to counter the Arena, but you can stack up :electrum there and then go wrassle with some PVP2, which is way more exciting  ;D
