Title: what do you use vs. Arena?
Post by: Acsabi44 on June 28, 2011, 10:24:04 pm
What decks do you guys use vs the Arena?

I'm using a PSNbow for rarefarming and a Rol/Hope for Gold/Platinum.

thanks. Who's going to make a new section in the forum for "Arena" instead of t50?


Btw, if people have decks that are worth 1000 electrum, wouldn't it be fine just to make a specialized deck to beat their deck, then autoquit until you found the deck you were looking for?

you lose 15 electrum each time, and you lose score, and there are alot of decks

And even a specialized deck might not have 100% win rate.

By the way there is an Arena section in forum already.

to adress the first, SG already did
to adress the second, no. to go through your odds of running into them is 1/100, so you will be paying approximately 1500 to make 1000. thats -500 profit. which is bad.

gold or silver league?
its worked great for silver, it has approximately a 50% win chance in gold (so far). but unfortunately, there is a lot of cc in the arena, so it can hardly be considered a rush against them. maybe 2-3 creatures that you summon survive the whole match

appologies for the double posting

Liquid Antimatter with CP plays pretty well vs. Platinum.  I don't have many of the cards upgraded but it still wins enough to make plenty of  :electrum All I have upgraded is 1 LS, 6 CP, and 2 vamp daggers and I win 1 out of 4 or so which makes money.  All upped I think it could do even better.  Right now many platinum decks are heavy control with some big hitters.  Liquid Antimatter works well against that.

Gold seems to be where it is at now though.  The reward there is getting pretty close to platinum.

Here is a fat version of anti-platinum deck. Compared with my smaller one, here are some permanents protected (plus 2 PA-s), 1 additional Fractal to guarantee a lot of damage, 4 Towers, plus 1 Wings, Sanctuary and Pandemonium. Don't even know which one is better, but I usually prefer fatter ones anyway  :)

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

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)

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. .

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)

You can use any free card to avoid deck out, I just like gemfinder :) Deathstalker+epi+unstoppable+quint is very useful against rage quit -type decks. Basicly this is kind of stall deck - solid deck in theory (?).

Another Amber Nymph would certainly make the deck less dependent on draws, and I want to upgrade everything (but the nymph) but that would basically wipe out my entire  :electrum reserve.

I use a CCYB mod. Works okay, I win some/lose some. Platinum produces some really fun games- I either win almost immediately or lose almost immediately sometimes, but games can get very interesting.

Take this match, for example  8)

Beginning: CCYB mod VS Mono Time
Dusk + Lava Golem + Pulvy + SoGs Against dragons + SoGs + SoDs + Hourglasses + Eternities + Turtle shield
I antimattered his dragons.
He spammed the scarabs before my mind flayer got out, and ate the dragons.
My pulvy crushed his eternities/Turtle, but left his hourglasses alone. He didn't get all his SoGs out, but still almost killed me many times.
I brought out my quinted nymph.
I replaced Dusk with Permafrost.
I still come close to death, but barely hang on.
Meanwhile my flayer slowly lobo'd the scarabs/pharoahs/flying eternity.
Fractal Eternity at the last second.  :D

Edit: Right. My deck. =)

The liquid antimatter combo is good against platinum ? ??? I dont have enough coin for try it ... :\
Title: Re: what do you use vs. Arena?
Post by: ffun on July 22, 2011, 04:02:19 pm
I don't think liquid AM would be a good choice. Against rushes you usually won't have time to set up enough combos to win; it's useless against fire or poison stalls; BH/discord will shut you down before you can set up; and there are many other decks it wouldn't work against.
Title: Re: what do you use vs. Arena?
Post by: Hodari on July 22, 2011, 04:08:07 pm
Yeah, in theory, I thought LS + AM would be good but when I actually tried it...there's just too many counters for it to really be effective.

Yes, Naps' original vNG works pretty well. Two rare spins in two days in platinum (only two sessions played, I stopped after the spin) but unfortunately only one rare won :(

I occasionally play some anti-FG decks vs other opponents for the lulz, and some of them have been surprisingly good against the arena. Namely, the anti-Morte Blue Nymph deck and the anti-Seism Hope deck both got me some platinum spins. Versions used:

This one could probably be built better, check the Morte thread for options.

Ok, that's half-upped, but except for the Graboids, all of the Upped cards were won from FGs at random. I play around with it from time to time.

SoG count: 1/6
 :(

Am I better off grinding FGs with RoL/Hope, then upping a vNG and farming Platinum for SoGs?

Post by: mwaetht on August 06, 2011, 06:48:22 pm
I use I've GotP Time for farming Gold. It dies to Pulvy, but most decks there don't bring it, and it's otherwise difficult to counter.

Post by: n00b on August 06, 2011, 11:46:07 pm
I use Liquid Antimatter with a few Chaos Powers versus silvers... just don't use the combo (or trio, if you use Chaos Power) on photons, as the AI will cremate them
Title: Re: what do you use vs. Arena?
Post by: Aves on August 06, 2011, 11:56:09 pm
? AI will cremate any antimattered creature. Really annoying when you get a crimson dragon or somesuch anti'd, and then it just disappears.

Heh, not sure if this counts, but I'm using firestall :o against Bronze to rarefarm.
Title: Re: what do you use vs. Arena?
Post by: n00b on August 07, 2011, 04:48:56 am
Using Liquid Antimatter I EM'd 2 platinums in a row, but I can't seem to beat any more... so versus platinum I'm like 2-13 or something lol, but against gold I'm around 50%-ish :)

pervepic, i like your choice of forest scepters instead of lava golem.  so many fire shields these days.  bone wall vs fahrenheit is :).  to the testing lab!

most interested in the function of the 3 wings and 3 steals btw.  testing shall be interesting

-edit-  its still just a timebow.  stomped the AI the first 5 games, then not so much.  the same weaknesses all timebows have, blowup/steal the hourglasses and its just a bloated deck that might get the right cards + quantum in time to not die, or might not.  wings is really powerful, was pleasantly surprised for such a cheap card.  steal was meh as always.  thanks for the interesting deck ideas!
Title: Re: what do you use vs. Arena?
Post by: pervepic on August 26, 2011, 04:11:13 pm
You are welcome. This version of my deck is quite heavily short of quanta, I use that if there are a lot of rushes. Otherwise I use 4 Towers and 2 Sanctuaries instead of Dials, especially when there are slower decks with BH-s. But usually there are not many days in Arena when 3 Steals are too much or meh, but if there is, then Dials are still useful.
