Ridiculous ways to win arena games https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=37184.msg466602#msg466602
« on: March 03, 2012, 03:19:43 am »
I was farming platinum with a SoD/SoSa/Dune scorpion/blessing deck. I came up against a  :life rainbow deck with a shed-load of healing (SoGs & purity), plenty of CC and all the rest you expect in a rainbow. 
I didn't stand a chance (with regular purities cancelling my poison and CC wiping out any new scorpions I played). 
But...
the plat deck also had loads of mindgates.  It got a heap of SoSas from me using mindgate in one turn. spammed them all down to low hit point then ended its turn.
Suddenly the AI died leaving me with the win screen.
It took me a moment to realise what had happened... All the AI's healing had killed it due to the SoSa.
That must be one of the luckiest wins I've had.

i'd be interested to hear what other ridiculous or extremely lucky ways that people have beaten arena decks.
The only thing of which I am certain is that I am certain of nothing

AI killing itself due to Mindgated SoGs, AI killing itself with Holy Flash while SoSa is active, AI refusing to activate some kind of ability to kill eliminate a threat on my side of the field which allows me to win or gain the upperhand in the duel, AI not rewinding creatures despite it having 0 cards left in its deck, AI not Shockwave'ing or T-Bolting me when it would have put me into the KO range...the list is just nearly endless.

How about some dumb deck maker putting purify and SoSa in the same deck. AI dumps shitloads of SoSa at once bringing it's health down to a ridicilously small amount, then casting all it's purifys, cancelling out the poison I inflicted and dying 3 turns later due to miniscule purify healing.

Also - me getting EM on turn 0 because AI had 1 hp and I had an oracle pet.

Wanted to have some fun with my fractalmagio in plat, found a druid rainbow that began to mutate my armagios, got a PU dragon that got out a dive dragon, all time being protected by other armagios, got a nice EM.

lol I heard you talking about it in Kong chat. I don't get why would someone put upgraded druids in their decks. That is just silly, like putting SoSa and flying adrenstaves together.

Isn't it a 1 TTW? Because the game counts turns when you push spacebar.

yes. The AI is spectacularly bad at using druids, often doing itself more harm than good.  I never use them in arena decks.

I'm not sure. I think I remmeber a turn 0 win being possible when I was messing in the trainer (100x free quanta, cards were all dragons, fractals and skyblitz) but that might have been bad memory.

0 TTW is only possible with a spell.

lmao.. talking about druids
Today I was against a deck that had a druid and many SoGs in play and I had little/none PC left in my deck.
The druid mutated my shrieker into a critter with steal :)) then I lobotomized the druid and stole the whole lot.
Saved from deckout.
(Temporarily?) retired from the game.
