This has quickly become one of my top favorite bronze grinders next to "I love Pharaoh" and Fractal Dragonfly w/ SoFr.

I figure'd I would share it with everyone here.

Its a full spectrum domination deck (PC+CC+QC+Heals+Damage Mitigation)

The nuts and bolts are as follows:
-Armored upped otyughs provide CC
-Pulverizers provide damage and PC
-SoFo + Gravity Pull (gravity force) provides damage absorption from creatures
-Diamond shield provides damage abosrption from weapons
-Amber Nymphs provide healing and QC (good idea to armor them if CC is a problem)
-Salvagers protect against most PC

So far I have only tried it on bronze, but it seems to have a very good winrate there. As of this post I haven't lost yet in over 15 games in a row... But that could just be a lucky streak. If anyone is willing to verify, I'ld love to get stats on other arenas with it.


Whether the glass is half full or half empty is a moot point. It is always filled to the brim. It is only a matter of by what. The real question is: What fills you?

Why don't you use Enchant/Protect Artifact instead of Graviton Salvagers?

The 4 flying weapons seems a bit much, generally if I fly weapons in a deck I never fly them all, and since they are all the same weapon it really is overkill to have more than 3 cards with the destroy ability on the field at the same time. Moreover, I haven't used the deck that much, but it did pretty well in silver too, and even though it will lose a little more, it will make you more money, and get you more upped spins (which is the only reason to grind low level arena).

I thought about use EA, but I just have too many things to protect to make it feasible... 3 pillar / pendulum types and a shield... I suppose it could be streamlined to run off of pendulums alone, but that may mess with quanta balance... I'll give it a shot though.

The pulverizers are also the primary damage source for the deck... I can reduce the number of them, but I would probably need to add different cards to keep the damage up. Any ideas?

How about switching a couple of Pulvies for Titans? It has a better damage, can smash through shields and, in a pinch, act as a secondary Gravity Force target.

PS: SoFo is farmable but there might be players that have no Amber Nymphs. I think switching to Elite Chargers or Black Holes in place of the Nymphs will do it for them.

Ya, the amber nymphs took me about 3 months to find the first one. Hard part with nymphs. Unforturnately tryin to squeeze water in there too would just be baaaad quartet juju so your idea is probably the best.
I could indeed switch out a couple pulvies for titans. It drops the probability of finding them, but the titan's benefits might make up for it. I'll give it a go.

If you up the 3 last pendulums, you have only 2 pillar / pendulum types and the shield to protect.
And the switch out pulvies for titans makes you need less earth quanta.
But it's just an advice ;)

Btw, I couldn't test it, cause I don't have nymphs

If you put in some overdrives instead of the salvagers then use them on a SoFo (after you grow them 2 or 3 times) you will have lots of damage output.
