Most annoying decks in the Arena https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=29222.msg372762#msg372762

I realize with the vast number of decks in the Arena that you get quite a bit of variety, but everyonce in awhile I'll come across the same deck a couple of times a day.  And with that, I am starting to discover which decks are just plain annoying.  My number one annoying deck right now is lord_jadem.  Fire deck with a darkness mark (maily for steals, apparently).  A million SoGs, something like 30 explosions, 30 fire lances, 30 rains, 30 steals, 30 of whatever else kills all my creatures and permanents, and not a single creature as far as I can tell.  Just plain annoying.  :)

Edit:  Poll added. :)

Same here. cremation golem decks are so annoying if you don't get cc really early.

Oraclebows, creamtion deck and firestalls all get my vote because of their originality.

Considering how many different types of decks there are in the Arena, Oraclebows and Fire decks will obviously win any poll because they're used frequently enough to make an impact on players.

Definitely Oraclebow... it's completely uncreative and has no recognition of the Oracle card, which is precisely why it's chosen as well

Well, I voted "anything that beats me" out of principle  ;)

I play a lot, exclusively the arena since it was released, and I must say that even though they're not necessarily the most annoying ones to me, the number of fire stalls, speedbows and immo decks that I vs is just plain boring.
I sometimes feel like there are only three decks out there, you play 10 immo rushes, 15 fire stalls, and then you just want to puke because the next one you play has yet another quantum pillar with an entropy mark...

But well, that's just the way things are, and even though it's sometimes annoying, I don't think much can be done about it.

Totally agree with that.

Yesterday I got annoyed that my decks would be out of the arena invariably before the fifth game. Until then all my decks were orignal. The deck I found most annoying was firestall, often because it was a thumb of the nose to the Oracle while packing in ungodly amounts of control, abusing the double pillars and HP. Yesterday I ignored my Plate Armor completely, but it was eventually retired probably because of hand clogging. Today I mark powered the antlions and went with the same firestall-randomly clicking fire control cards, a couple Fahrenheits, and the rest being quanta. Zero effort and zero originality, but it is good for profits without much time to play. Based on chat reactions I will not make a habit out of firestalls.
