You know that you're absolutely awful if you can't win against bronze decks.

[Guldfisk]

Honestly I tried arena out for the first time and this is why I generally hate card games, I am so bad.
I won about 3 games in a row and then lost 2 and decided to forget about it because I lost 40 gold in no time and gained pretty much nothing.
I was however not using a good deck but it's not like I would've had much chance of winning anyway.

So gather round you bad players bound to farm AI3 for the rest of your life, we all equally suck.
Unless it's just me... It's probably just me.

Don't worry, you will get better. 40 isn't much.

What deck are you playing with? You need a deck specialized in killing Arena to farm the Arena - lvl3 farmers usually can't deal with the increased health and other buffs Arena decks receive.

[drolly]

Shantu's right, don't worry . First, in case you rated the decks that defeated you, you only lost 30 . Second, I can imagine how you feel; at the moment I'm building decks which are able to compete in Gold league but am still lacking a good and consistent Silver farmer, most decks suggested in the forum seem outdated to me. When I started with playing Arena about three months ago, I had nice results with Flay 'Em! (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,20228.html) which does also well against Half-Bloods and can be built without upgrades (however, some upped Hourglasses are better) and Miracle (but if you have it, add it).

However, you cannot play Bronze to get , only for rares and, most importantly, for the fun of encountering various decks and getting ideas from them. While doing this, you should ensure that you don't get bankrupt but with a good AI3 farmer (and according to your OP, you have one) you'll be able to cover the losses. And don't forget to fight your daily False God, of course, in the long run this will enable you to build better decks.

I'm not sure how it's good to know what false god I am about to face, I suppose there are threads for those.
And yes, I was playing bronze to receive rares and not money but if I can't win at all that's no good.

Thanks for the tips, I'm farming to get Intosis as a FG farmer but I hear that supernovas might get fucked and that is not very good.

Language!

On another note, that patch isn't coming out for at least another month, so it still might be worth it. Furthermore, pacing your SNs to 1 per turn will be fine. Instosis should be able to handle that.

Instosis doesn't really care about SN nerf.
Also language please!

Click on the name of the FG you are about to face, I think all (or at least most) of the gods have a deck that should work against them completely unupped and rareless.

[furballdn]

What deck were you using to fight bronze? A regular immobow or novabow should be fine against bronze unless you get some pretty bad draws.

[Guldfisk]

I'm using this that I put together now.
I keep getting one or two wins and then I just lose easy to someone who has a deck with 170~ hp.
When you build a deck, what is the meaning of those skill points anyway?

How is this a bronze deck?

Oracle card: Golden Nymph. 5 (oracle cards) + 1 (card won) =6. 13 skill points and age:1.
I have also seen such a deck in Bronze, it decked out early enough.

[kimham8a]

Try going to the arena section and browse through topics. I think a few threads have posted upped and unupped decks designed to fight every league in the arena.

To be honest, doesn't look that great. Why not just use a 30 card speedbow without relying on hourglasses? If you'll notice, you have way too much and usage but not enough of everything else. Otys also aren't that great unupgraded. Take a look at something like the Antagonbow

EDIT: Golden nymph rush is plausible for a bronze deck. You get a nymph upon spinning it, and the oracle puts 5 in the deck, so you can easily make a rush based on it.
