Day Traitors [AI4][Gold][Upped][Light][Darkness]

[Bhlewos]

I like this deck, but sometimes I find myself one short of the combo (RoL + Solar Buckler + Nightmare). I've also been experimenting with unupped Vampires instead, and find them to be more stable: they cost 1 less quanta (better against Discord or Pests, also sometimes increase speed), as well as "immune" to Paradox (Crusaders with Vampire Stiletto have equal ATK and HP, and Animated VS's have the same). So for a "stability over speed" variant I suggest the following:

I replaced one Blessing with a Solar Buckler to increase the chances of a successful combo. The other change I made was switching all Vampire Daggers to Stilettos. Essence's original build is better for farming though.

Man, I'm in love with this concept!

I played the last day with this deck and made some slight modifications:

50-run Results (AI5):
42 Wins (20 EM), 8 Losses (84%/16%)
Turns to win: 11.595

Steals solved these problems: most Shields, Sanctuary, Empathic Bond, Discord, Lobotomizer, Eternity
Unbeatable Problems: Hope, early Devourer/Pest, Destroy skill and Bad luck (no RoL/Solar Buckler/Vampire Dagger till 15 left)

Thanks for sharing. Grinding AI5 became light.

This deck adds a new word to the AI5 grinding dictionary: FUN

amazing concept.  I personally love any decks where you have a longer strategy than usual. 
+1 karma (or whatever it's called now)

[Qwandri]

Huh. Without having ever seen this, due to some chattastic advice, I ended up posting a variation of this deck (EDIT: in the arena*) as one of my first, and winning something like 27-3.

And to keep it slightly more on-topic, I tested this in the trainer, and WAO. one of the best AI5 decks I've ever played. Keep building stuff.

[Xenocidius]

I was skeptical at first, but after testing this in the Trainer I was amazed. 100% win and EM rate (granted, I only played 3 games - hooray for large sample size!).

This is the most complex combo in Elements I've seen that actually works. Plus, it's pillarless (I only realized that partway into my first test game). And just to add the icing on top (Is that a valid expression? Not really ..), it uses one of my favourite cards. You shouldn't have trouble guessing which one.

Still, Nightmare and Solar Buckler? Not exactly reusable. I'm debating whether to build this or not. Good deck, anyway. +Karma, not that you need it.

Also, I have problems with this being a trio. The forum definition really needs to be changed.

[funplay]

really like this idea! nice deck. 

[grindpower]

I believe this is duo, not trio or quartet. Good deck however.

Just noticed the animate weapons counting the third element within the deck.

does anyone have a good mostly unupgraded version of this?  i can upgrade the flying weapons and 2 rols...  but thats it for now

As essence said, many of the upgrades are rather critical, so no. Not for now, unless someone else comes up with something before essence.

[Artois]

What?  Yes!  Day Traitors is a fun (and effective) FG KiLLa...

Akebono-no-no-no

First attempt and I draw possibly the worst match-up, Decay...

3 RoL on first turn, a Solar Buckler + Nightmare on second turn... then Decay fractals his new RoL for me, what a nice FG

Octane, if truth be told, I was very lucky, and on my first attempt.

Im using the Archangel, because I only had 2 Light Dragons (from my RoL deck).

However, the Archangel should be dropped for a Crusader/Light Dragon/Vamp stilletto/other.

I found that unupped Solar Bucklers were hindering the deck dramatically, upped, makes a huge difference for early deployment!

[The_Mormegil]

We might want to do a thorough test on this one. I seriously doubt it can come close to very good FG farmers, but it's a very nice deck nonetheless...
