Upped Arena Farming Decks

[nerd1]

Well, arena will always adapt. Its a natural process:
Everyone starts playing a deck that wins a lot.
Arena decks that lose to it start to fall from the rank.
Arena decks that beat it climb up, and next thing you know, the whole arena changed to adapt to your deck. I suppose this changes will be faster and stronger once more players get into plat.
But its still nice to keep it listed here, since it might work a lot again in the future.

dude, I have an entire article about that in the arena page, also, try farming using this deck:

Silence != Neurotoxin...?

[furballdn]

Err.....only 5 elements and you're using QTs and SNs?

Silence != Neurotoxin...?

it gives the poison a chance to do damage, and it is the "revenge against the fatties" part. they draw 2x, so I silence and force them do discard cards and majorly slow them down.

Ultimately I've been looking here now and again to try out farmer decks, but I think I've had a good enough show of success in gold/plat to explain one of the ones I've taken and the derivations I've made.

Deck 2:  Mono Gravy

Okay so it's not completely upped, but heck it functions like it is.  I wouldn't bother with this if you don't have Amber/Gravity Nymphs though; they give me lots of wins versus some decks (mainly Rainbows) in Gold League that you otherwise couldn't get with the rest of the cards.  I'd add a 3rd Amber if I had one, but no such luck yet.  It works best in Gold, but I've had some success in Platinum as well; Gold gives me strings of wins though which is probably the best thing here.  Play the Armagios to draw in Lances from Firestalls, play Otys against Life rushes, OD Armagios against stalls, Gravity Shield and Unstoppable against Mono Aether, etc.  Unexpected amount of diversity and success from a somewhat underestimated element.

I began by trying this out, but not having the amber nymphs. I didn't think about it too much and just swapped the amber's out for black holes, but this left the deck clumsy, albeit easily workable. -2 Amber Nymph +2 Black Hole

The big thing was that it was 'way' overquanta'd which in retrospect should have been obvious considering I took out two high cost nymphs and put in two 3 cost 1-time spells. And that the shield would either be useless, wouldn't provide 'much' a benefit, and it would actually get stolen more than it was useful and screw me over hardcore. So out go the shields. -2 Gravity Shield -3 Gravity Tower

This left the deck at a nice 27 cards, so I filled in the three cards that I felt were most needed. Armagio to soak up damage and as the main damage. Oty i can usually get away with only 1 but I really want as many armagio's as possible. Second, a titan, since by itself it is the most cost-efficient card, and if it'll get PC'd then I can play it last when the efficiency isn't as big of a deal. And finally, a third momentum, to get around those pesky shields easier and to boost my oty's up to bite something they are otherwise out of range of on the first go (Such as crusader, Elite Charger, or a buffing Forest Spirit / Lava Golem. +1 Armagio +1 Titan +1 Unstoppable

Now, I played around with other versions, usually subbing out the black holes and Titan for things like 3 elite chargers, or oty #5 + armagio #6 + Overdrive #5, but 'that' all depends on the metagame and how PC heavy and rainbow heavy the gold/plat meta is.
So overall, it transformed into this. I'm using the mega black hole version, although its pretty rainbow/immo heavy right now, but I'm putting this one up so its easiest to see the three cards you generally want to adjust to adapt to the meta. And I honestly don't suggest using the mega-black hole version over the amber nymph version, as it probably does this job better. What this deck 'does' better at is oty consumption and armagio protection, and pure charger damage if you want to go that way.

It's a bit clunky at times, but seems to be working great in Plat.

Is there anything I can replace the air nymph with for the CCYB?

FFQ is always a decent option, but I don't believe it is nearly as effective for Plat.  In that case, I would consider dropping the heal for synergy reasons.

For those that prefer a tighter deck, I would drop the heal and purify, but I prefer a fatter deck and slightly lulzier draws to deal with some of the omegastalls and healing that are around right now.

This classic bruiser gets the job done wherever you take it.

Bronze - Silver  -> Just flatline'em
Gold - Plat -> Chargedeck


Boy I had to wait to pull the trigger on that one

Does the SoSa Poison Dials is working against Platium??
