What omega said + good balanced decks more rarely suffers from rng fails. Pro tip use 30 cards and don't sell rares!!!

@XarisD Its a card game, RNG rules EVERY card game without exception. The game is not weighted in the CPUs favor at all, that is simply human bias. Good combo decks can get combos out turn 2 or 3 depending on meta. Score is plenty quick to gain, within an hour you can have 500 easily. You don't know a thing about the game, ask for help in chat and there is pretty much always someone who can help you actually learn.

This game is terrible. Way too heavily weighted on the RNG god, while being weighted poorly for progression, and way too prone to computer jackpot streaks and mana screwing. It's good points are that the summons aren't too hard to get ahold of, unlike some games where they torture you to death trying to get a good card out. Basic cards are pretty useful for a change, which is good because that's usually all you'll end up getting if you don't get mana gain cards instead. By the time any combo you're hoping for shows up the enemy is either dead or has you dead to rights because he's reverse timed you, parallel universed you, or just put so many poison counters on you that you have no hope. If the points weren't so slowly gained (and quickly lost) this would have more motivation as you're being rewarded for your time. 2009's badge will not be completed.

user interface crashes a lot lately - im not able to target pillars or artefacts any more or use menu buttons until i restart the game

@jokerreach: It doesn't take long to get to 500 though, thats the thing. Any decent deck gets you there within an hour, 2 if you make a slower one. Anyone who says it takes longer doesn't know what they are talking about at all.

In the same vein as others here, I think that this is a great CCG but I'm not really into how much time it takes to get the badge for the 500 point mark for somebody who's never played it before.

I think what makes this game better than the other online card games is that you are playing as yourself, not a pre-set character. The simplicity makes it easy to learn and exceptionally awesome. How long before Elements 2?

@antipaladin1999: Issue with that: Every common is already in the bazaar. Making commons available only based on score just makes the start of the game even more tedious and painful. And rares shouldn't be in the bazaar at all.

@Previous comment, what i meant to say was there are not many kongregate players.. get it back on its feet- invite your friends. Great game

500 score should not take you more then an hour, as omega said. If you feel the game is a little slow I highly recommend you check out the forums/wki. There is a ton of useful information on there.

@salokcin: The quests do not take hours. Getting to 500 score itself takes less then an hour, or two if you are using a slow one, with any decent deck.

the best ccg game. i have played others and i always think i wish it had this thing like elements, please add new cards. a couple of friends and i started playing this suddenly all of ur classmates were playing it to, i almost fail some subjects because of this game.

everything about the game is great, I'd just like a few more quests in between the level 2 battle and getting a score of 150, that takes hours and hours and it would be cool if there were other quests you could complete while on that quest. Also more cards to choose from would be cool.

Aether is a great Element to start with, although there is definitely no best. Most top tier decks use cards from 1-3 Elements. And will you jerkfaces stop downvoting the newbies? It's a simple question, there's no need to hate

Freexkkk, I suggest checking your internet connecton. Reloading the page may help. Also, clearing your browsers cookies, cache, etc. May help. Good luck.

Spent some time talking with Omega, realized I should have told everyone EDITED LS. He still disagrees with me but eh. Anyways, unless Omega has anything to add I'm ending this comments convo.

Just for kicks, I tested the fatty version as well, did god awful. 0/4, had no chance. Also, claiming 30 or 40% would have been believable, but when you are claiming something has not only higher win rate then poison dials, one of the best plat farmers, but a 20% higher winrate, that is just plain wrong.

@mikesully52: A bit of healing isn't going to help the deck. I went ahead and tested one of the versions, 2/8, not exactly 67% winrate. Not even close, bulking the deck up won't increase the winrate by over 40%.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
so 68% win rate against plat with limitless speed? Lol. I'm sorry, but that is completely bull crap. That is not even funny really.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
At the moment I only lose 32.6% of the time. If I was losing 70% of the time I'd only get a rare after about 12 matches, I would have quit awhile ago. Even if I was only wining half the time I'd probably still run plat.

@mikesully52: Faster? Do you have stats? Losing 70% of games is not faster at all, especially when games take 2x the amount of time, and silver has plenty of rares in the normal decks themselves.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Platinum may be a bit more difficult and require more focus but it is faster then all others. Sure you have a higher loss rate, but rare per hour is what I'm looking at.

@mikesully52: If you want rares, both bronze and silver are much less of a headache then gold or plat. Why put yourself through that when you could just play silver and get rares just as fast with a rush?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@Omega I never said plat was for electrum (only use of EMs) Plat is only for getting rares at a faster rate. Electrum rate is low... If you want electrum FGs are pretty much where you should stay. Better chance of getting an upped card at 45% give or take.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@mikesully: If you aren't fully upped, honestly plat is just bad. And without ems at least half the time, it isn't worth farming anyways.

I've been using LS in plat and been getting rares FASTER then running bronze/silver and if your running gold may as well run plat. 2 consec wins will happen. My longest streak with LS@Plat is 7. As far as grabby rush, the shortsword is optional. I prefer another pillar personally.
