Smokey Bear - "Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires" - Pillarless AI3 EM Farmer

[kirchj33]

History

In Smokey's quest to keep the world safe, he began to grow tired of fighting the endless battle against forest fires.  Everyday, all of the cremations, ruby dragons, phoenixes, and lava golems that blazed through his sacred forests were causing him stress.  Finally, Smokey saw the light, turned to Mrs. Bear and told her they were leaving the forest and moving to a place where there are no pillars trees.


In my quest feed my EM obsession utilizing my new favorite card: damselfly, I came up with this:

I was surprised that I could find nothing like it posted for AI3 farming.

wouldn't unuppued phoenixes work better?

Unfortunately if you were to do this then you would have a grand total of 12 extra from Cremation, which is enough to play 1 Dragon but sadly not two.  While you probably won't find yourself in that kind of position, it does reflect on the remainder of the deck's quanta balance.

Deck looks really nice, keep it up.

Maybe, I haven't tested this a whole lot.  That would bring the creature quanta required to 7x6 + 10x2 = 62 , not including rebirths.  6 cremations produce 6 x 9 = 54 , so you would have to change the dragons to lava golems or maybe even brimstone eaters.  One of each?  I will mess with it and let you know.

With unupped and minor golems: 52  vs. with minor phoenixes and dragons: 32

**Edited the original post to include both builds.

Angry Santa (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,12659.0.html)

Angry Santa is based primarily off land for quanta and substitutes more firepower for healing.

Deck looks really nice, keep it up.

Makes me happy to have received your endorsement, Will, on a deck that uses life

In my quest feed my EM obsession utilizing my new favorite card: damselfly,

Damslefly? Am I the only one who isn't seeing a single Damslefly?

Second reading fail.

*Obviously you will want to replace RoL with Damselfly when 1.27 is released, which will ever so slightly increase its TTW.

Come on guys, read threads thoroughly before posting.

I edited the first post to update to what seems to be the optimal build of what I've tried so far.  I will probably mess around with various combinations of dragons, unupped & upped phoenixes, & golems.  If anyone can beat the stats for what I've posted by changing around creatures a bit, please let me know and I will consider testing and updating the build.

*Note: My spreadsheet was off on the TTW formula on the original posting, that data has since been updated and the previous data was locked away in a confidential file

Updated the OP with 1.27 stats for 200 games.

How does this do against Half blood/H50?
