Changing your starting mark wouldnt hurt that much if you have a quick pillar draw.

It will likely make that creature better and faster at the expense of a few extra turns before the 10/6 dragons come out to play. My guess is it's a wash, at best. I'm curious to see what you get for results with it.

We need to duel soon so I can see how this deck fairs against the one you demolished me with last time.

Should be pretty even. Speed kills!

I can play a best of 3 over lunch if you'll be around in a half hour or so.

ImBrotherCain · 03-23-2012, 10:25 AM

Yeah I should be

FlyingElvis · 03-23-2012, 10:29 AM

I'll let you know here when I'm ready to log in.

Turns out it only works against a couple of marks. Fire, Aether are just destroying your 1/1 forest spirits as soon as they enter the field.

Water marks are god damn annoying to fight.

I didn't even consider that. Sacrifice a little speed for the second color and when he gets wiped out it's just a total waste.

Water does suck - freezing everything and poisoning creatures.

I think I perfected my deck but I just got murdered by a Death/ Pand deck... It makes me want to build that now

:-x

About 50% of my games see me finishing with full HP due to the deck I use, really boosting my money big time. I waste the money on new decks though, as I get bored easily and like switching up. It's not the quickest deck in the world, but the added gold for flawless wins easily makes up for it, especially in PVP.

I see what you guys are saying about grinding. Got to the 150 point quest easy... but the next quest is to get to 500? Started 14-0, but got tired of beating up level 3 opponents. Tried a level 4 and almost won that one. Had him to 7 hps before he got me. I'm running time with the darkness mark. When I was looking through the cards Ghost of the Past stuck out to me. I knew that it had to have a combo to work with its discard ability. That card is Nightmare. Simple deck strategy. 6 GotPs are my only creatures. I wait for the opponent to get low on cards in hand and Nightmare one of my GotPs. Fill their hands with them and they can't cast them if they're not Time as well. Discard damage. I use the card to place annoying creatures back on the top of their decks (can't remember the name of it) and keep casting Nightmares so they can't draw them back. Usually have 3 GotPs out to end the game at that point.

Probably not the best deck, but I'm having fun with it so far.

If you play PvP you up your score and money much much faster

comahan · 03-23-2012, 11:08 AM

PVP games are much slower though, if youre impatient like I am, they can get pretty tedious.

FlyingElvis · 03-23-2012, 11:16 AM

I'm on now. You ready?

ImBrotherCain · 03-23-2012, 11:18 AM

Lets do it

This is the big difference. You're not averaging out the time:money the way you can in CPU games.

FlyingElvis · 03-23-2012, 11:20 AM

offered challenge

FlyingElvis · 03-23-2012, 12:00 PM

For comparison's sake . . .

The same 10 minute window in PVP1 was two games and the only reason that was the case was because the CPU took over the second game when the opponent didn't show or the connection crapped out.

2 games, 1 win and 1 loss for a net of 89 gold and 1 new card.

vs. the same deck hammering away at level 3 CPU from my earlier post, which yielded more cards (spins) and better $$$, though two wins in PVP would have been double the amount won vs CPU. Then again, with the increased chances at winning cards to sell, the money is easier and more consistent vs CPU.
