That thing needs to do -1 Lycan, +1 Forest Spirit at the very least. Personally I would pack -2 Lycans, +1 Spirit, 4 Novas, 6 Gnome Riders and 4 Grabbys, Earth mark.

Thanks for making this, I found it very helpful.  I agreed with most of what you are saying.  I really enjoy arsenic because if you can accumulate enough poison counters, you become unstoppable (besides purify).  This also helps if your opponent has a constant stream of phase shields.

Higurashi could you set together the changes in the deck you mention so we the noobs and the not so noobs could see how it will look please

Nice. Maybe I'll add something about which weapons are most commonly found in AI 3  (so far I found there 8 of 12).

I believe all weapons can be found in AI3 (this is just from what I can remember, I'll check it out though).

Decks of all the AI3 are here, you can check out what rares they have here.

That being said, in general Bronze>AI3 for rares.

Thank you, that's very helpful.
I sifted through it and it shows that every weapon except Trident and Eternity are used (though I have doubts this is still true).

[Higurashi]

It is. That thread and the official wiki are up to date.

So I have started playing Elements yesterday and it didn't take me long to complete all seven quests. However, I have yet to choose my reward.

Here's my mono Aether deck, which I heard it's recommend for beginners. Should I go for the Lobotomizer or am I better off choosing the Pulverizer, as its considered the best rare weapon here?

The best mono Aether to start off with is Psiontal (aka Psion + Fractal). It is one of the best decks to face level 4 with, earning you about 2000 electrum per hour of grinding, and it can also reliably beat Bronze and get a couple special spins per hour of grinding. Here's the deck:

This guide is kinda outdated considering the present meta, and it's always best to take a weapon which benefits your deck. Lobotomizer is really helpful for Mono Aether (it can deal with annoying Momentum and Charge), and in Psiontal it can be used to lobotomize Psions against a reflective/emerald shield. It is also a key card in RoL/Hope (one of the best False God grinding decks in the 6 ups category, one which I'd recommend to any Aether aficionado. So I'd say go ahead and pick Lobotomizer ^^

[Higurashi]

Pulvy's good for upgraded rainbows and Flay 'Em, but since you already have a Monoaether that can farm Half-Bloods and Bronze/Silver to get the upgrades it needs to farm  FG's, that would be an unnecessary detour for you. I always say you should choose cards for the deck you -plan- to make, so it's up to you. 2 Lobos are necessary for MA to do better against all non-FG opponents, and necessary to farm FG's.

In addition, you'll be winning plenty of rares as you farm, especially if against Bronze. I would, however, suggest that you cut your deck size down to 30 and add another Dim Shield to make drawing them more likely. After that I would focus on either Phase Dragons+Immortals or Psions+Fractal. Extensive testing and experience has shown those are the most efficient builds.

Just found out about a "Basic Aether Untouchable" mono Aether deck on the Elements Wiki. Tried it out myself and it certainly works well indeed, except I replaced 6 Aether Pillars with Aether Pendulums.

So now I went with you all said and chosen Lobotomizer.  Now I just need to get enough money for an upgrade.
