It's time for action

Xeno and I tried to do something about this yesterday, but we just kept running into non-fire decks.

Good job, you just managed to change platinum leader.

0h wait.. :p

You can't call these people jerks tho. They are just doing what they are allowed to do and what sounds logical. You cant accuse people of jerkness only because the rankings are all fire and bad taste to you. Its the same & natural in every game. I see this fire domination issue hard to fix without limiting game play too much, which generally sucks.

we need all 4 leagues to rock the fire lance.  give it up for fire lance!  woooo!

I hope every person doing this is making original decks too.

I've almost completely stopped using fire in all my decks because its so lame. (To make it seem allright to my brain, I can only power fire cards with upped Fireflies. Everything else is uncool.)


I'm a little slow, and short of upped cards though. Any chance a decent list could be made of the best decks to do this with? Not even close to the upped cards needed for most of them.

Note I said OR jerks. It's still a somewhat baseless assumption, but because there are so many fewer fire decks than last I checked, and the heaviest concentration is in a small top-level bracket,  I feel it's likely that most of those people are EITHER:

jerks, who make firestalls with the knowledge that it will annoy peopleoptimizers, who can't stand to put up anything less than the best possible deck (which is typically fire)fire fans, who aren't mean but just love fire

DrunkDestroyer's sentiment matches up exactly with what I think is causing there to be fewer fire decks, even if they're dominating the top levels. DD, you might find good, fun non-fire ideas in the "good lasting arena decks" topic (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=28523.0).

not only the top one,i usually met fire when i play arena. just fxck fire!!!
Further more,i am doubt these makers can through the arena to win the trophy?
Without the system bonus like 3x power,double draw..etc.
I think they can't pass the arena if they met their own deck!
Last,fxck fire twice!!!!

, I actually meant offensive decks, as in for playing against the arena, taking them down actively instead of passively.

I have fun making my own decks, even if they end up going 0-2 and kicked straight out to some speedbow grinder.

You're forgetting one kind of people: the kind that has never looked on the forums, so they have no idea how much people hate fire.

I decided to give CCYB a try in Platinum Arena, I use a modification with PA and Jade Shield wich apparantly works quite well vs firestalls!
AM's were useless here ofc and I had a fairly good draw (both PA and Jade in starting hand, had to wait for my pulvy).

Still a very satisfying win and the firefighter strikes again!

Dropped this guy from rank 5 to rank 8. That'll teach him! (700+ elec, yay)

[zombie0]

thats a nice looking win     you can absorb the 40 damage no problem.  i imagine a handful of fire shields and fire bolts sitting there useless clogging up their hand.  how embarassing

Imagine those bolts trembling in fear when the Shard of Sacrifice makes it into the game!

Firestalls rely on stalling. If you shard of sacrifice your stalling for them, they simply wait for all of the SOS to be gone and its back to being one turn KO'ed.

Firestalls do not have purify ...
