Most annoying decks in the Arena

[zombie0]

firestall.  fahrenheit + rage potion + fire lance + fire shield + explosion + SoG + towers

always a long game, stall always has the advantage.  as fire pool grows, can snipe any creature without quint.  sometimes uses 15/2 dragon, sometimes fire storm.  immune to lockdown (hand or board or quantum).  currently better synergized than any other color.  only disadvantage is sometimes wastes fire lances into tough creatures

Solution: Pack emerald shield or reflective into whatever you're using.

The problem with this is that Jade Shield and similar shields are pretty bad against other decks, and the AI is pretty bad at deciding which shield to play (or not to play).

emerald shield doesn't really work because most of the fire bolt decks also have fahrenheits.  sure, you can destroy them, but not before they get to do massive damage. and those decks will have a lot of fahrenheits.

I don't see that much fire-stall in arena but if so the game is quite boring.

Fire rush is more common in my experience. These fights are always hard, but because of the stupid Ai (cremate phoenix only when electrocuted eg) the chances to win are.....well, at least it's possible

For me the BH-spam decks are the most annoying. They are very common and always nothing but frustrating, I mean hello? not beeing able to play anything just stinks to infinity and beyond.
Also a lot of people just add mark of gravity and 6 BHs to something without real concept, just because it's very hard and the worst: most of the time it works quite good....

Well, if you're not using rainbow, they're perfect as a matchup. Unless it has discords sprinkled in. Then you really just depend on your sanctuary.

As for that, Jade shield isn't that bad. And you could always go something like jadeshield+permafrost+bone walls. It's a good idea to pack more than 1 shield.

I think the most annoying deck is anything that can be considered a rainbow deck. I notice a lot of decks will play with cards like Steal, Mindgate, Electrum Hourglass, Pandemonium. I'm playing the Gold League and it seems like at least 1/2 of the decks all use Steal. I have also seen many that use Pandemonium.  It seems like most people take the card they are given from the oracle and still they make a rainbow deck. I guess it's a lot easier to make a rainbow deck than to try and make a mono or duo deck with the card you were given. Last time I visited the oracle I was given Forest Scorpions. So I decided to make one those mono rush decks with fast creatures. I wasn't thinking about using the Scorpions in some sort of rainbow deck.

I hate mono gravity they drop black hole after black hole

Sometimes it seems like that's all the decks play Black Hole. Sometimes I end up loosing a bunch of games because I end up playing against decks with Black Hole. I play a Pestal deck and Black Hole usually causes me to not have enough Aether Mana to Fractal anything.

You should add 12 SoG's,12 Dim shields,12 Sanctuarye's in the poll.

I stopped playing gold league with JMZ solely due to fire stalls...

I myself run a fire stall in gold 24/7 (just about any card can be fitted into a fire stall, almost every single one)

you can guess where my vote went

This is what  breaks arena down. Putting just any card into a firestall is what makes it insanely boring, I don't get why you join this cluster of unoriginal players and build a firestall yourself.
