GOOD lasting decks that you took down from the arena.

[Elite arbiter]

Not down yet, but on the way down. Rank 1 Mono Water ( ) in Platinum. Might have something to do with how it absolutely dominates SoSa, Instosis, and Shard of Focus all at the same time.

Another >1000 electrum salvage. Quickly built Mono Water is obviously OP in Plat. But doesn't get as many thumbs up as an annoying poison deck (I don't deem it worth a single one, by the way).

You are fueling steam machines  , poseidons  and physalias  using quantum towers, so how can you call that a mono  ?

Via the official Mono-Element definition.

Mono-deck definition

Spoiler for Hidden:

The forum definition of mono-decks changed at one point in history and this seems to be a source of confusion.  The current definition is "Cards from only one element and "Other".  Mark is irrelevant.

The definition is not

• decks that use only one type of quanta
• decks that use only cards that match the mark, where no "other" cards are allowed.
• decks that use one air card and 59 aether cards

Animate Weapon is an Air card, Nova is an Entropy card, Photon is a Light card, and Spark is an Aether card.  If you have a mono-fire deck that uses any of these, it's not a mono-fire deck.  Please put your thread in the Duo- decks forum.

Spoiler for Sample mono-deck:

Mark: gravity

It's a mono-air deck because it only uses air cards and "other" cards.  Mark is irrelevant.

Spoiler for Not a mono-deck:

Mark: earth

An earth mark, an "other" card, and 25 fire cards would make this a mono-fire deck if it weren't for the four aether cards.  Despite them having zero cost and serving no real purpose other than Cremation fodder, the presence of the Ball Lightnings makes this a duo.

I personally would call this deck more of a  /  Duo deck, which is a lot less facetious I agree, but that isn't a definition that is widely accepted. Although this is more or less a mono deck anyway, it's just that Water has high enough rainbow synergy to actually make this work. (Edit: ... actually, no. /  Duo deck is a definition I reserve for when a deck uses all kinds of other cards and would technically be called a rainbow, but centralizes around one element. This is just a mono-element deck that uses enough off-element quanta of different shades that it is all-around more efficient to simply go rainbow.)

And it's certainly nice to see  my deck gaining popularity and sway as well as being credited, although I'm getting worried at the implications of this being the new "Hair-Pulling" deck in Platinum. Granted I'm not so worried since I'm keeping track of winnings this time, and it has a 50% approval rate.


Speaking of, side note while I'm here, Tides of War is up again, been up for almost 3 days, Rank 7, and 13/26 Thumbs up. So expect an encore showing.
Part of the purpose is to test for if the Shard of Focus nerf affects the deck, and as I have predicted, the 1.31 patch nerf actually seems to be a buff rather than a nerf, at least in this Plat deck.

Not the best, but did quite well for a level 60 arena deck with no ups.

I made the same deck pre nymph buff and it got like 1-3, but now it's 22-8 and lasted 5 days.

The last mono I have submited was something like this but with less drain life and more dragons, it didn't reach the top 50.
It is interesting how pure drain life with no dragons did much better.

Took down Tides of War again, exact same deck as posted last time, except +1 Physila -1 Ulitharid.
Went 57-0 and stayed rank 1 for about 3 days straight. (Next check-in was 60-1, so somewhere in that it suffered first blood.)

Hypothesis confirmed, 1.31 patch if anything buffed Tides of War.
