Most sensational Arena matches

I put this picture on my profile because I thought it was so epic:
Who needs Mitosis when the AI has Nightmare?

Not sure what was in this person's deck.  Their oracle card was pufferfish, and their record was (I think) 6-0 before this, so it wasn't a farm.  The AI never played a card the entire game; you can count the ttw by his entropy quanta :p  It was in gold arena.



Edit: just realized I could spin and find out a few cards.  It had nova, chaos seed/power, fog shield, and the pufferfish, but I already knew the last one.

Couldn't stay behind on this topic, so I had to post a win of myself!

CCYB vs Platinum League:

First of all, this deck had 6-0 stats before I fought it. I was expecting to meet a basic life rush and hoping for no early mitosis or dragons. We all know how CCYB works and I would need an early shield to win this!


- The match started out with him playing 2 frogs on the first turn, I had a permafrost and Jade Shield in my opening hand!
- He quickly played a mitosis 2nd turn and frogs started to appea out of nowhere...
- I was VERY lucky with my quantum generation by towers (had no nova's) so I got my permafrost our 3-4th turn.
- I was possibly even more lucky with pretty much every creature freezing.
- It quickly looked like I wasn't going to make it though. He kept playing creatures and when I saw the Jade Dragon + mitosis appear I thought it was over.
- I didn't Quint my creatures to safe up for a possible fractal (didn't have fractal by that time yet, dunno why I wasted 3 quanta on my FFQ...)
- A wild AM appeared! That one card saved me teh turn after his 2nd Jade Dragon entered teh field.
- A last turn fractal won the match!



TorB won the first rep boost btw! (page 1)

I can't seem to find my screenshots on this computer but I remember a few funny ones.

-I was grinding platinum with a voodoo doll deck and met a farm. He played nothing but pillars throughout the whole game and I decked out. 
-Using the same voodoo doll deck, I was distracted and watching tv, and ended up decking out by drawing from a sundial when I could have won that turn.
-Playing against a mono aether using the same voodoo doll deck. Normally would have been an easy win, but turned out it had TUs.   
-Losing to a 1hp deck. This was not with the voodoo doll deck but with a modded JMZ bow. I somehow got quanta locked by pests, flying poseidon and BH and couldn't play a thing. Throughout that whole game, I couldn't play a single SN.
-Not actually just one match, but over a few different matches against Ghostmare the ai decided to nightmare my creatures because of his faildraws.

Used 500 HP deck vs plat league :

game lasted 96 TURNS !!!! :0 and 1800 seconds
I think I really deserve my 1106 electrums

I can't believe I lost this one after this display of copious amounts of fail.  Here's how it went down.

Facing off against a Mindgate deck, me with a Mono-Gravity.  AI pulls an early Lobo, almost ragequit material.
After sitting here watching the Lobo do its thing against my Otys, I then play my Amber Nymph and hope it doesn't get Lobo'd.  It doesn't for a few turns, but then the AI gathers enough to make her suffer.  Now's where the fail ensues.
-AI Lobos the Nymph.
-AI Mindgates Overdrive.  Uses Overdrive on the Nymph.
-AI proceeds to continue Loboing my Otys.
-AI Lobos the Nymph again when it reaches 1HP.  Hurray for a 7 attack creature.

I'm beginning to think that saying artificial "intelligence" is being too generous.

Ever seen a Steam Machine with over 100 attack?  Ever seen three of them at the same time?
Ever seen anyone build a platinum arena deck around Protect Artifact?  And have twelve of them in play at once?
Ever beaten a protected Eternity by decking them out?

Behold, I give you... Dwerg!



I laughed my ass off when I saw dwerg's arena card was PA.  I wasn't laughing once he got protted mindgates and stole my permafrost and PAed that, too.  Fortunately, I got a protted gravity shield early, and apparently that hoses everything in my deck except fireflies and nymphs, which were not drawn until late.  I also didn't draw any of my six hourglasses for the first 30+ turns, which is probably why I still have a deck left at the end of all this!  By the time the AI finally mindgated a firefly queen,  and got a few flies on the board, I got a quinted oty and gobbled them up.  It was a close thing between eating fireflies/queens/nymphs, having the oty freeze when attacking, and regenning hps lost from being hit, but I made it.  Then the AI played Eternity and PAed it the same turn... I thought I was doomed, but I hoped that the AI would screw up due to double draws.  Finally, once my own queen spat out enough fireflies, the AI playd a mindgated pandemonium, which meant it had room in its hand to draw 2 cards a turn, and it decked out a few turns later.

+1000 style points to dwerg for this deck  8)  If a human had used it, it would have won.

Nice one's Will! But I think we have an obvious winner this page, great review and insane match Dragons!

Behold, I give you... Dwerg!

Here's another fun one:



AI was playing a typical fire deck, only with death for bone wall and graveyard.  (its oracle card was bone wall)  My otyughs, before dying later, ate phoenixes, ashes, and brimstone eaters, and the graveyards filled its field with skeletons, preventing it from playing any more creatures!  Permafrost shield kept me from being hurt by those.  AI also had a lot of fahrenheits, but my pulverizers managed to destroy them all, though explosions eventually destroyed both my pulvies.  Just as I was wondering how on earth I was going to break down a 30x+ bone wall, the AI played aflatoxin on the otyugh, giving me a field full of critters to knock the walls down pretty darned quick.  The AI was also using fire lance (note its fire quanta is over 200!) but was too stupid to save up to keep two of them to kill me with; as soon as it drew one, it would zap me for a crapload of damage, which I would promptly heal with my shards.

Why hello there, rank #7 gold deck...



An early quinted nymph and PAed shield, plus shards, were enough to hold back the entire AIs army.  My 2nd quint was late, so I didn't get the steam machine in play for awhile.  The AI had a protected Eternity, and I figured that I'd need to kill him with a super Steam Machine before I decked out.  However, the AI had other plans...

It played Animate Weapon.  Now I'm thinking maybe eternity will freeze, and maybe I can sneak a win in.  Then it plays Chaos Power on Eternity.  Amusing, but not really relevant.  Then next turn, I kid you not, it DEVOURS the Eternity with its otyugh! 

Epic facepalm.
