what do you use vs. Arena?

[Hat]

No I just won fourteen consecutive entropy pendulums from half bloods. lol

Edit: Here is a picture of a deck I just beat with my awesomesause deck.



Edit2: The deck I beat is at 26 and 7 in the silver league.

[Avenger]

I just use my ccyb... works well against silver. So-so against gold.

In case Wings don't hold:

Depends on the day, but sometimes there are too many Dragon or Immortal decks. Here is a solution: Wings are replaced with Phase Shields and Spine. But there is a bit less perm control (Steals are out) and Black Holes and poison can hurt more. Still, Sundials are good cards and helpful in many cases. The other deck was this:

Code: [Select]

6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6rn 6rn 6rn 6rn 6rn 6rn 6u9 6u9 71b 71b 74b 74b 77f 77f 77i 77i 7ah 7ah 7do 7do 7gp 7k6 7k6 7n8 7n8 7n8 7q5 7q5 7q5 7q5 7q5 7q5 7t9 7t9 7t9 80h 80h 80i
You can also leave Steals and Sancs untouched and play without dials (when hardccore perm control is needed). Then it would be this:

Code: [Select]

6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6rn 6rn 6rn 6rn 6rn 6rn 6u6 6u9 71b 71b 74b 74b 77f 77f 77i 77i 7aj 7do 7do 7gp 7k6 7k6 7k6 7n3 7n8 7q5 7q5 7q5 7q5 7q5 7q5 7t9 7t9 7t9 80d 80d 80h 80h

Can't find where I originally saw this deck but I've been having good luck with it in gold:

Just had an especially fun win with it after I stole their mindgate and then found their top card next turn was...nightmare    5 turns of nightmare locking them later, I won for my 4th straight game(no luck on the rare spin that time though) but still fun to finally pull that combo off

Very boring, but does reasonably well.  My false god farmer and 'i've got GotP time' win more in the arena than this, but winning with 500hp EMs nets WAY more score/electrum than either of those.  I was playing platinum until the gold league electrum reward actually became higher :p  (I assume people are farming platinum more for the rares?)  I've made something like 25k score (gained from level 58 to 61) since arena went live with this deck.

I added the Mindgates to give an alternate win condition, because some decks would outstall me :p  I had a few games where both me and the AI were sitting there rewinding our own creatures with Eternity to prevent losing, and both sides had 200+ time quanta, so I just had to quit because neither side could win.  Explosions are mostly for enemy weapons, particularly eternity and pulverizer.  I haven't bothered upgrading my stoneskins yet, since the advantage gained by doing so is extremely small.  (I chose ball lightning as the eternity target because since it is 5/0 I am less likely to mindlessly accidentally play it when I'm not supposed to!)  When the deck wins in gold/platinum, it gives somewhere around 800-900 score/electrum per win.  (in the first few days, platinum was worth more per win and I was getting more like 1200-1300, but it's dropped since then)

[ralouf]

Yes playing 500EM deckout.deck is a quite good choice but I don't like your version at all..

You play 0 CC and 4 ice shield ! and 0 life cards (spine shield is awesome here). 3 miracle are too much I think.

For my part I used to gain 600/700 score/electrum for an EM in plat or gold. .

[Wiesel]

Im waiting for ur new plan Pervepic !!! 

[Tea is good]

Ralouf, could you please put up ur 500 em deck so we can see it. Sounds like a good choice and Ive heard about it a lot without ever seeing it.

with -2 miracle -1 pandly  +3 mindgate SO you can kill with mindgate if the game is too long to in by deck out.

For plat I advise you to take out mindgates and put more heal like SoD/1 miracle.. Atm it is 918 electrum/score for a plat match win (it took me 8 mins)
