Phase 1 - Proving Your Worthiness
Phase 1 has ended
This phase is different in each Trial. It usually has something to do with helping out the community, but it can also be something where you show your skills as an Elements player.
Below are three different tasks each participant must complete.
TASK I
Battle Prowess - The Arena
- Design a deck that is at least 50% in-element. Any mark and any number of upgraded cards are allowed. Please avoid "designing" small variations on tried and true decks.
- Post screenshots of yourself having used your deck to fill the rings of THREE different arena leagues.
- Take the screenshots when the filled rings are visible. If you hit "Spin All" the game spins from your opponent and then moves directly to your special rare spin, and then it's too late for you to screenshot the rings.
- Please ensure the screenshots include your score and the filled rings.
- Separately, provide a screenshot of the PvP Duel screen that shows your ign and score. This will be used to link the score on your Arena screenshots above to your ign. Screenshots that show close but not exact scores will be fine.
- Post your deck in its proper section and a link to it in the "Phase 1" Topic of your element.
I hit Spin All before I screenshotted and now I have to start all over. As punishment I will enter chat and say "I'M A DUNDERHEAD."

Rings and score, everything kev asked for:
(http://imageplay.net/img/m7Gbd215159/filled_rings.bmp)
And this shows 185,844 is my score. Hooray, this is easy!

TASK II
Card Design - Shards
- Enter the Shard Revolution (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,28847.0.html) competition with a Shard of your element.
- Note in your submission that it is for Trials purposes.
- The rules of Shard Revolution state a limit of one entry per player. Competition Organizers will make an exception for those in the Trials only.
- For participants in the :life, :light, :time, and :death Trials, create a Shard of another element according to the competition rules.
- Provide constructive criticism for six entries to the Shard Revolution competition.
- You may not choose your own Shard.
- Try to choose Shards of your element if possible. It's not necessary to revisit the Shards you selected if another Shard of your element is posted, for example.
- Posts need to have at least 150 words, and must have reasonable and constructive content for the author's benefit. Content could include comparisons to existing cards, decks in which the Shard might appear, proposed revisions for clarity or to avoid abuse, or anything else constructive.
- Post your comments on the "Phase 1" topic of your element, NOT in the Shard Revolution submission thread, as well as links to the entries.
TASK III
Deckbuilding
- Provide constructive criticism to six Deck Help (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/board,56.0.html) posts.
- Eligible posts must be less than three months old and be about a deck that is at least 25% in-element.
- Replies must be 150 words each PLUS a deck image that adds to your helping the player in need.
IMPORTANT NOTES
- For each task above that is completed, players receive three points. There is no partial credit if a player, for instance, successfully fills rings of two arena leagues or falls short of the 150-word requirement for one Deck Help reply.
- 149 words is not 150 and I won't draw a "close enough" line. I will be using http://www.wordcounttool.com/ to count words. Be aware that other programs (like MS Word) arrive at different totals, so double check with http://www.wordcounttool.com/
- I will try to review submissions as they're added, note where and why credit was not given, and update the Trials Standings (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,28891.0.html) thread with completed tasks. Players can expedite this by submitting well before the deadline and catching my attention. But ultimately it's up to each player to make certain they've followed the directions.
- The Rules thread says "Additionally the Trials Overseer will award 3 bonus points to the player from each element who has the best overall submissions." Bonus points will be given after the Phase 1 deadline and will not be given to any player who failed to complete all three tasks.
- Remember that how well you do during Phase 1 will most likely affect your score during Phase 3 (the vote).
If you have any questions, please post them here.[/list]

I want to see stunning work from the Trials of :air Air. I will be keeping a close eye on things.
Good luck to all participants.

Do we HAVE to enter chat and say that? :P
-
Do we HAVE to enter chat and say that? :P
lmao. no, but i'll get a kick out of it if you do. :P
A heap of questions were asked in chat. Here's a select few:
[21:16:43] thenewguy: ‹@kevkev60614› For the arena portion, do we have to use the same deck throughout the entire arena, or may we switch decks.
[21:19:00] DrunkDestroyer: So this time we have to do all 3?
[21:19:09] kevkev60614: ‹@thenewguy› same deck
[21:20:01] Zblader: @kev - Are we allowed to use the trainer for our Arena decks?
[21:20:05] kevkev60614: ‹@DrunkDestroyer› yes
[21:20:21] kevkev60614: ‹@Zblader› there's no Arena in trainer, i believe. if there is... no.
[21:23:45] 9270984: kev, so we have to use the same deck for each league?
[21:24:05] kevkev60614: ‹@9270984› yes
[21:25:56] Onizuka: Someone probably already asked this, but what if you're already in the Shard revolution contest?
[21:27:37] kevkev60614: ‹@Onizuka› yes.
[21:35:10] 9270984: kevkev, is it ok if i use mitosichargers as my arena deck? or is that already tried and true
[21:39:09] kevkev60614: ‹@9270984› i'd prefer you to use a deck of your design. these decks will be posted in Deck Ideas, and other players will look at your work when deckbuilding for themselves.
[21:39:55] kevkev60614: ‹@9270984› i recognize that not everyone will be able to do something completely 100% original, though. and i'm not going to constrain the percentage of your deck that has to be new.
[21:40:05] kevkev60614: so do what you think is right.
[21:41:00] 9270984: kevkev, i actually posted mitosichargers a while ago during booster draft
[21:41:42] majofa [»] kevkev60614: for deck help, can it be 150 words over multiple posts in the same thread?
[21:45:36] majofa: ‹@kevkev60614› for deck help, can it be 150 words over multiple posts in the same thread?
[21:47:36] kevkev60614: ‹@majofa› i can't imagine a scenario where you'd need multiple posts. elaborate?
[21:49:56] majofa: ‹@kevkev60614› elementscommunity.com/forum/index.php/topic,28280.0.html < read this thread, and you'll see what i mean
[21:53:46] kevkev60614: ‹@majofa› posting more than once in that scenario relies on others posting between your comments. if you feel comfortable with that, sure, i'll allow it. just make sure you link all your posts.
[21:58:37] Mithcairion: I'm quite sure fractaling Golems has been done before, yes?
[21:59:02] kevkev60614: alright threads are up for y'all to post in. i have more time for questions if anyone has any.
[21:59:14] Higurashi: Not really relevant. You should just shy away from tried and true decks.
[21:59:31] kevkev60614: Mith: nearly everything has been done before. blerg. ninja'd by Higs.
[22:02:24] bucky1andonly: again almost 2 months old, i really dont like necroposting
[22:02:55] kevkev60614: Deck Helpers love necros.
[22:02:55] bucky1andonly: the guy that started the thread only has 3 posts, so he is unlikely to ever read my suggestions
[22:03:35] kevkev60614: bucky these are all problems i've thought of. do you have solutions?
[22:03:40] thenewguy: Kevkev, can I post my arena deck before part 1 is completed already?
[22:04:32] kevkev60614: ‹@thenewguy› sure. whenever you wanna post whatever, feel free.
[22:06:29] YoungSot: ‹@bucky1andonly› Even if it doesn't help the poster, it might help someone, and it still shows your potential ability to help with decks.
[22:12:58] bucky1andonly: good thing im not required to do the deck help, from what ive seen, going back to May, the decks with 25% light or more would actually do better without so much light, and the suggestions for those decks do actually remove light
[22:17:43] bucky1andonly: It's divided into 3 parts, each scoring 3 points if you complete them.
[22:17:49] bucky1andonly: IF you complete them
[22:18:00] bucky1andonly: no where does it say I have to complete them all
[22:18:13] kevkev60614: true, buck
[22:55:16] Bhlewos: also, if I've already submitted a shard into the competition, is that part 2 of phase 1 taken care of?
[22:56:10] kevkev60614: ‹@Bhlewos› submit a second. good question.
-
For the Deck Help portion, will reviewing two decks on the same thread count as two entries, or just one?
Example: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,26926.0.html
I reviewed two of the fourteen decks in the thread, each with a 200+ word deck fix.
-
This looks great, I'm grinding the arena these days anyway + I wanted to build a shard and I got some cool ideas for it!

TASK II
Card Design - Shards
- Enter the Shard Revolution (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,28847.0.html) competition with a Shard of your element.
- Note in your submission that it is for Trials purposes.
- The rules of Shard Revolution state a limit of one entry per player. Competition Organizers will make an exception for those in the Trials only.
- For participants in the :life, :light, :time, and :death Trials, create a Shard of another element according to the competition rules.
If you have any questions, please post them here.[/list]
I already posted a shard for the competition.
So I have to do one more?
As I am in the time trial. I can choose another element right?
-
Can I critice a deck another player in same trial has rewiewed?
-
You can no longer choose 2 for the full points but have to do all three which are each of phenomenal effort? Damn, looks like I'll have to actually do something :p
Edit: a screenshot filling the rings in no way proves they were filled with the deck posted :(
-
Upon inspection of the Deck Help portion, I can only find three decks which would not need to be necro'd and qualify for :earth. Can you comment on how to handle this problem?
-
Just comment on 6 of jmdts decks ;)
-
I want to see stunning work from the Trials of :air Air. I will be keeping a close eye on things.
Good luck to all participants.
The funny part is that I just found out I will be out of town and most likely have no internet for Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Yay? On top of that Air is a somewhat hard element to beat gold or plat with. I should be able to do it.
-
For the first challenge do pillars/pendulums count towards the 50%? Or is it the number of 1 or > cost cards?
-
Bah. It looks like it could be another 3-5 days before I can even start the second part of this Phase. Procrastination FTL...and there was a reason I didn't sign up for :time Trials -_-'
-
For the first challenge do pillars/pendulums count towards the 50%? Or is it the number of 1 or > cost cards?
Pillars and Pendulums count towards the 50%.
-
Q: For the Deck Help portion, will reviewing two decks on the same thread count as two entries, or just one?
A: Two decks in a compilation thread like the one you listed is fine.
Q: I already posted a shard for the competition. So I have to do one more? As I am in the time trial. I can choose another element right?
A: Yes and yes.
Q: Can I critice a deck another player in same trial has rewiewed?
A: Yes.
Q: a screenshot filling the rings in no way proves they were filled with the deck posted :(
A: The only way I could think of to verify the posted decks are being used is to force you all to take videos of your play. Seems like the honor system is a better way to go. Incidentally this has been a potential problem every Trials.
Q: If I had provided deck help in excess of 150 words prior to Trials starting, I can't count that towards the deck helping part, can I?
A: No. Timestamp has to show that deck help came since I put up Phase 1 thread.
Q: For the first challenge do pillars/pendulums count towards the 50%? Or is it the number of 1 or > cost cards?
A: All cards count towards the 50%.
Q: Does the 2 month age limit have to be from the creation of the thread, or can it be from the thread creator's last post on the thread?
A: 2 months since last reply.

I was definitely able to find six but I've extended the eligible threads to go back three months anyway. I made note of the rule change in the Trials Announcements (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,29129.0.html) thread.

Thanks, I didn't realize at the time that this rule was expanded from posts made outside of the OP. Meaning, I was under the impression that only decks posted within the past 2 months were eligible.

Wow not being able to take screenshots is seriously gonna screw me up for Task 1

I disagree on principle with Task I. A Master's (and therefore a General's) duties are to support the community and help their team prevail in War. I don't see Task I being representative of either... which wouldn't be a problem if it weren't very prone to RNG problems. Because of the advantages afforded Arena decks, this is the equivalent of asking us to defeat six consecutive False Gods with the same deck three times - using a decktype that is uncommon or original - and due to the rock/paper/scissors nature of this game and blind matchups, winning six times in a row against the odds is quite a feat, but not one that represents Master-like skill. I rarely go six-in-a-row with my FG rainbow, mono-Aether, or RoL/Hope, but that's not a good indication of my skill or even my deckbuilding prowess.
Last Trials, we had to form decks and then grind with them against AI5 in order to provide statistics, which would be helpful to the community, in particular newbies - in many cases it provided the community with a new deck and statistics to show it's one that you can thrive with. This Trials, we're just supposed to show that our decks can go the six-in-a-row at least once in a week? That's not helpful to the community, and since it's a bit of a shot in the dark, don't be surprised if half the challengers bow out at the end of the week due to not having gotten lucky in the Arena. Why not have us collect statistics again? We could give TTW on specific Arena tiers, or even average-rings-before-a-loss.
I'll do it, I signed up and I intend to follow through... but I'm curious to know why this task in particular was chosen. It seems almost arbitrary.
-
I disagree on principle with Task I.
I appreciate the feedback. Task I hasn't really ever spoken to a Master's duties but rather his qualifications. Historically participants have been asked to use their element to beat AI5, FGs, and the like. Here participants have been asked to use their element to beat Arena opponents. Providing ttw statistics over 40 games was a good idea for last Trials but truthfully nothing really meaningful came out of that task because 40 games is far too small a sample. ttw statistics in the Arena would be even less meaningful.
I'm hearing a lot of frustration in chat, but I remember vividly similar frustration from the previous two Trials that ultimately turned to satisfaction. It seems to me that some frustration is over the "tried and true" rule. I've commented on it several times but I'll try to clarify it one more time. I'm nonplussed by some decks that have been submitted, but none so far have appeared in the ttw study and I've been unable to find extremely similar decks on the forum. I won't eliminate such decks but I expect everyone will remember candidate choices when voting on the player that's best fit to be Master during phase 3. I would hesitate to vote for a fire candidate who took a deck extremely similar to v2, a well-known and heavily tested grinder. Lastly, originality of ideas will be considered when I look to distribute bonus points.
Hope this helps.
-
Task I hasn't really ever spoken to a Master's duties but rather his qualifications.
Aren't his "qualifications" just a measure of his ability to perform his duties? This is circular.
Providing ttw statistics over 40 games was a good idea for last Trials but truthfully nothing really meaningful came out of that task because 40 games is far too small a sample.
I disagree. Examination of permutations such as are possible with the number of cards this game involves mandates first taking smaller samples of many possibilities, in order to develop "leads" - candidates that look promising. In other words, last Trials' Task I laid the foundation into investigation of several decks built on every element. And 40 isn't as small as you might think... many decks showed promise against AI5, with a consistency that one would expect to continue in a longer study. We may not have narrowed our statistics down to the hundreds place, but we got a pretty decent ballpark on a large variety of decks.
Now you have me curious about the frustration from the last two Trials; I don't remember any part of Phase 1 last time around that would provoke something like what you're describing. Was it the ttw study?
-
Isn't this feedback and suggestions?
Either way, I have to agree this arena stuff is more frustrating than ttw. I think I got about 20 losses during the ttw, now I've already gotten at least 200 (tarnishing my wonderful win/loss ratio ;_;). But the deck did succeed in the end. It's just "slightly" (ahum) hard to beat hard counters with twice your hp and/or draw.
-
Definitely agree with Torb here. Some elements are going to have a really really tough time beating this challenge. Lots of frustration from my side anyhow. This definitely is the hardest deck challenge i've had so far.
-
I have gotten 3/4 rings filled now SEVEN times and failed the 4th match each time. *cries*
Then I need silver and bronze...... *sigh*
Maybe before a challenge is given someone should run through the challenge to see how possible it is for the next trials???
-
Gold was impossible to win 4 in a row for my deck. The best I got was 2/4 after hours of trying. But the thing is, I rushed Platinum pretty quickly long before that. Some days, the deck pool in different leagues is horrible for some decks, so you can try your luck in different ones, or even on different days.

Yeah i know what you mean. I got uber lucky today. 4 rings on Gold, and now I am about to post my 5 on silver. Bronze should be cake. (Was down to less than 5 HP in 3 of the silver games. O.O How did I pull this off? )
-
Heh. I spent over 10 hours on decks to beat Platinum yesterday, messed around some more this morning for about an hour and then decided to take a rush against Gold and breezed right through on the first try. Arena really is fickle; I hate to think of how my rage went to waste yesterday looking back.
-
Arena really is fickle
Can't describe how true this is :P
I tried my hand at the arena part of the trial just for fun under the death trialist rules, took me about 1 hour to do platinum with the deck and about 40mins for the rest (silver&bronze). Just seems as though it's largely about avoiding those truely nasty decks on any sort of decent draw.
Atleast all the effort people are putting in to make a capable deck and carry out the task (especially if it was difficult with whatever element/whatever card restrictions that player had) will show people how much you cared/committed yourself to get through it come the voting phase.
Anyway, I had fun doing the task I of the trials, I'll probably choose another element to have a whack at it with over the next day or so.
P.s. Over 10 Hours is pretty intense, insane props to anyone who has had to work this hard.
-
Time spent trying to chain three wins: 20 hours and counting -_-"
Two hours later: got lucky against Gold and Silver, semi-struggled against Dim Shield chains in Bronze, but finally finished.
-
I've honestly had terrible terrible luck. I've had 3/4 gold so many times and 2/3 platinum to only lose each time due to a terrible draw or just one of those unbelievably terrible decks.
-

blondey , my deck beaten gold super easily, but took me so long to get silver done... i know how you feel :\
-
I agree with majority of people that it is tough, consider most of deaths critters get taken out by firestorm screw you firestall, but hey I will always accept a challegne to be oringal!
-
It's not "tough." It would be fine if it was just "tough." It's largely luck-based, which is worse.
-
i wish we were at least able to change decks between leagues, not doing that is killing me
-
Yes, that would help greatly - you finish one league only to find out you're screwed in the next one. So you have to start over completely or just trust to blind luck.
I still have yet to complete any league for Task I, despite having designed about 10-15 decks, all solid decks that can perform in PvP. Even anti-stalls. No luck.
-

That's why I built a deck to DESTROY Silver and Bronze nearly 90% of the time, and I hoped to get lucky vs Gold. It took me a total of over 10 hours of playing against Gold but I did it....
-
I went with the opposite plan. I figured Platinum decks are generally the most difficult so I kept trying decks on there until I found something that seemed to work. After that Gold and Silver weren't too difficult.

Try building a deck that will do that with at least half Light cards. The best I've been able to come up with so far has been a 3-win chain. Looking at the Light trial thread, it looks like someone's already used RoL-Hope, which I thought was verboten, so maybe I should just give up and run a Vader Sader?
-
Hmm question time. Rules state 25% of the deck has to be within Element. So I'm assuming threads like this would be off limits completely since there's no way to tell how much of the OP's deck idea was within Element, right? http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,29074.0.html
-
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,29103.0.html < at the bottom kev made a ruling against other elements not mentioned using it. So 927 might wanna check with him too since he added gravity. That being said I don't know if Kev made a ruling about life since the guy asked for life scorps.
-
Yeah I noticed that. I just figured that if it was addressed in a thread that is more frequently visited by all Trials participants that less people would make that mistake :>

Why not just comment on one of the decks posted as a reply, like Matrim's?

johann you've posted several times in this thread about the difficulty of Task I. Your opinion has been heard. I'm sure you don't expect me to change the task at this point. Constructive criticism belongs in the Trials Feedback thread. Any questions you have regarding Phase 1 can be asked here. Regarding the "tried and true" rule, see my other posts in this thread.

Threads with no deck in the OP are messy. I let a couple through like this one (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,7501.0.html) where it'd be pretty impossible to build a deck according to the authors specifications without using 25% in-element. I wish ak had commented in a thread that didn't straddle the rule, but it was a player asking for help with a life card specifically, and the point of this Task is for prospective Masters to help players who are asking for help with that element.
927 will have to find a new thread just as majofa did.
Why not just comment on one of the decks posted as a reply, like Matrim's?
Please don't. If playerA asks for help on a mono-aether and playerB recommends mono-air instead, we're not helping playerA by critiquing the mono-air. Let's stick to helping the authors.
-
TASK III
Deckbuilding
- Provide constructive criticism to six Deck Help (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/board,56.0.html) posts.
It would be very helpful if we could comment on the other decks in the forum - not only on those in deck help. It would increase a bit the choice we have and avoid triple answer on the same deck.
Now all potential decks have their answers in the trial of time and 2 of the challenger haven't posted yet and I still have 3 answer to do ...
-
Two questions: I know I missed this one, but where do we post the shard critiques?
And, if I don't have the cash on my main, may I build the deck for task 1 on an alt?
-

Shard submission goes on the Shard Submissions thread; shard critiques go in the Proving of Worthiness thread for your particular Trial.
-
just a thought, i think it should go the same as it did in war 2 that you dont accuse somebody of cheating unless you have proof
-
And, if I don't have the cash on my main, may I build the deck for task 1 on an alt?
Task I should be done on your main. If you're short on ups this is a good opportunity for you to grind. :)

Task I should be done on your main. If you're short on ups this is a good opportunity for you to grind. :)
Oh dear. this is going to be a time-consuming undertaking. I'll have to try my hardest to balance it with my real life. Which currently includes learning the saxophone, actually. Time consuming, no?

If your "alt" has more cards than your main, is it really an alt?

TASK III
Deckbuilding
- Provide constructive criticism to six Deck Help (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/board,56.0.html) posts.
It would be very helpful if we could comment on the other decks in the forum - not only on those in deck help. It would increase a bit the choice we have and avoid triple answer on the same deck.
Now all potential decks have their answers in the trial of time and 2 of the challenger haven't posted yet and I still have 3 answer to do ...
Can we please get a verdict on this so every trial member isn't spamming deck help. Their are also so decks in other sections that could easily be improved, no just in deck help.

Feel free to easily improve the so decks elsewhere, but credit will be given for Deck Help posts only, as it says in the rules.
It looks like Sno was successful in finding threads on which other Time Trialers hadn't commented for 5 of his 6 threads. I have faith that you can do the same, tng. And if you can't, I have faith you'll be able to add value in your replies anyway.

Noticed that some people have been missing an important rule for Task III so I wanted to emphasize it so people get credit:
Replies must be 150 words each PLUS a deck image that adds to your helping the player in need.
Don't forget to post images of the new deck build you are suggesting!

I hope I'll be worthy enough of being a master if I complete the tasks for the third time.

True but painful.
