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

[Gandora]

I love this deck and use it for Gold Arena 

I don't know if anyone already said this:

I often ran into poison or other bothering Creature Control, so I changed the Dragons for Archangel.
They cost less and do also good damage and can heal creatures which are hit by lightnings, fire bolts, fire buckler etc.
Also I added a Miracle and I use unupgraded Stiletto, so it's almost impossible that I cannot play a card in the beginning hand.

The deck now looks like this:

Tried it with the Archangels.  Liked it a lot.  +Rep for a solid idea.

based off of Bhlewos' stable version.  only 2 daggers because I only have 2.  only required upgrade is the animate weapon. also, 5 pillars is  usually enough to get you started and get a shield out.

Most of the time there is waaaay too much PC in the Arena since people stuff in 12 explosions/12 steals a lot

That's true. Steal also is very bothering.
That's why I quit when I meet fire rush with lots of deflagrations/explosions.
Unless I already have good critters out as endowed crusaders and or archangels.
Then I only have to collect quanta with my RoL to use Miracle which sometimes is enough to keep the advantage.
But in the end you're right, fire decks are rarely worth to play against

I finally got the upgrades to try this, and this is quite the interesting concept. I actually ended up playing around 200 straight games. I usually cant last 75 with a single deck so congrats on creating a fun deck.

-playing against everything but entropy and light halfbloods, it is almost a sure win. entropy with antimatter and diss shield, light with sanc hope and crusaders provide an issue.
-early steal or deflags are a pain but they can be overcome most of the time.

Gravity with shield?

When I meet Gravity Shield I endow the Crusaders with the enemy's Titan and I give Blessings to RoL.

As I don't have all the upgrades, I made a watered down version. First game, it's against Lumiel- the mono light Halfblood. And then it (He? She?) gets a hope on turn 2. My initial reaction was 
End result: Did you guys know that the AI will play guardian angel over using endow every time? 
I got really lucky with the sanctuary- it was played on the second to last turn.

Added [Gold] to the title after realizing that the AI-abusive nature of this deck can really mess up an Arena deck.  I can't count the number of times I've ended up using Nightmare on an opponent's creature in order to suck up several turns of their quanta and keep them from doing something important.

Example: getting dominated by an Arctic Squid, everything is frozen.  Opponent empties his hand, and I Nightmare the Squid.  Why?  Because he's only gaining 4 per turn, and he keeps playing more and more Squids rather than using the one he has.  I kill him before he can get back around do the freezing.

Similarly: Opponent is playing a Fire Spirit deck, and has crippled me by Exploding my Daggers and putting out a Fire Shield that is taking out my Photons instantly. He plays Fahrenheit, and I immediately Nightmare his Fire Spirits.  He spends the next half-dozen turns playing Fire Spirits rather than pumping his existing Fire Spirits, so both his Fire Spirit damage and his Fahrenheit damage stay low.  I finally play Stiletto-Animate-Blessing-Blessing-Blessing for a mob that will survive his Fire Shields for a while, and a couple of Crusaders to pick up the 15 point boost in damage (and healing), and it's an EM snatched from the jaws of almost certain defeat.

Nightmare is a god card against Arena (as zombie0 has already discovered with his Giant Killer). Day Traitors just makes it much, much nastier.

Only Gold? People use this baby on Platinum.
