GOOD lasting decks that you took down from the arena.

5 of the losses and a few wins were from when I submitted a chaos power / dune scorp deck. The newly submitted deck has been going strong for 4 days now.

Boring deck, I realise that. Sadly decks like these generally do well. The black holes destroy rainbows while discord messes with everything else.

I forgot to take a screen shot but it was 58-5 and peaked at 25 in platinum. 2 loses came from having low HP on the last day and another was self inflicted.

I just don't get what you are trying to do here?
Are you trying to make Arena even harder?
If everyone reading the forums can submit a deck that was at top 10 (if they have the cards) then that exactly will happen.

I see all over on the forums (and chat) people complaining about the amount of games they get on their decks. Rewards are low (as some say - and I agree) and platinum is atm very hard to beat by most people, since decks tend to have tremendous amounds of PC or healing.

If you want even less people to play Arena then it will be also pointless for forum members to know what decks to use. I hope all this won't turn into a "boomerang" and make more harm than good.

As I said before, I also have copied other member's decks that were posted in the past (some times I try to tweak or mod them to my needs or thoughts and sometimes I use them unchanged)  and may do it again if I feel that way. There are times when you don't have time to build a deck after work, or no idea in which deck to use a card in, or even don't have the cards for a deck you wanted to make. So some times you have to throw a card in a deck to submit something for that day. Some of these decks also worked really well against all expectations.
I am also willing to help anyone who needs help in his deck and asks how to improve it. But it's gonna be HIS deck and we can help with suggestions and tips to make it work better. I just disagree with having a big list to choose from when you get X card from Oracle.

That's all I wanted to say and hope you understand my point. It is my opinion and as anyone's opinion it can be wrong or stupid, but it is not hypocritical as Essence said (I don't know if it was meant to be about me or everyone disagreeing) because what you are trying to do here will make Arena more "uniform/predictable" than it already is. Also Rastafla you did mention me and 2 other new guys in your reply about disagreeing. Though I think Marv, Root, Selvaria and Hodari (with some new suggestion about removing older decks) also disagreed with that kind of topic, so I mention them since I agree with their opinion.

Also once again I know how much Rastafla and Eseence did (and do) for this community and I appreciate everything. I also learned alot from your posts guys!
It just happens that I have a different opinion on this subject.

P.S. - English is not my native language and I am trying to express myself as good as I can.

Trying to make the arena more diverse in its decks and stronger decks.

The arena will never be uniform/predictable due to the constant submissions. Ideas is what fuels creativity, and there are few things as potent as images to give people ideas and inspiration, pictures are universal human media after all. This is why its better to share decks to get away from the rainbows. Because the antidote to rainbows is the proof that decks outside them work and this is something I'm trying to bring across! If no one share decks we will continue to have all the rainbows in arena. (note that i dont mind them due to my amber nymphs, thank you gold and platinum rainbows for giving me countless EMs)

Platinum isn't too hard, many decks are equal to FGs or less. Platinum is not a problem for people in that range themselves save for a few decks with fortuitous oracle cards. A lot of decks in Platinum isnt even fully upgraded, people have few coins to spend on cards other than rainbow friendly cards, this is one of my guesses.

This looks like a powerful arena deck to me. Considering most people don't bring purify along.
Poison is good IMO when you have hp and draw advantage.

"Ideas is what fuels creativity, and there are few things as potent as images to give people a powerful deck to simply copy and paste.".

I dislike having lots of rainbows, but I think people should try their own decks, and I really really doubt this will fuel any creativity. Suppose Im a casual player and I suck at deck building. I get Puffer Fish as oracle card. Why should I try something new instead of just copy this deck from the forum?

People should try submitting decks and fail, if they dont have enough skill. Help crappy people having superb decks is not something i call 'positive'. Just my 2 cents.

Like I said, what's the alternative? Help every single person who spins the Oracle every single day make their own personal decks?

Final record 90-8, started off with 1 loss while I was still testing the deck, then once I finished modifying it, it won 50 in a row before losing again.
Rank 3 in Platinum

Posting it here too, since it was up for another day -- I just didn't have the time to change it, and it still brought me some wins.



3x Mark, Double Draw, 30 ups, 135 Hp - Oracle card was Ice bolt.

Peaked at 1st place since ~4days now.


The reign of Tiko has ended :]

I'm currently 10th with this deck but taking it down today, it's been 5 days now and I wanna build a new deck. 10th is my highest rank up untill now.

I would say let people learn how to buy a good deck by themselves.
