Currently at ~1000 rating. It's really a matter of getting luck with scrolls and getting the good cards - or just spending IRL money and buying them out.... Based on what blinky and the top tier player have said there is very little in the precon decks worth spending real money on. The "good" rare cards have to be found through random scrolls and the faction scrolls. ex. God Hand and Quake >.> . Edit: or you could trade for them... but again you would need gold not shards. | ||

 .... Mono Order has been really hard so far even though i got all the cards i needed. Personally, i think hybrid is the way to go since the memorial mechanic is really strong for a late game oriented play style. Given how many defensive low cost scrolls out there, it would surprise me 1 bit when i see hybrid decks rise to top tier.edit: oh yeah selling jarls at 350g :D | ||

For example i used to run blinky mono order mangole-less deck but it got demolished by energy users. I tweak it and start losing to mono order, tweak again and lose to growth.... | ||

it is viable, i have run into many people who have the same deck as that and they destroy order like no tomorrow. You need to sack for resources and control enemy draw quite heavily though. | ||

My tip is to NOT get random packs, as 1000 gold of random pack isn't likely to get you 1000 gold worth of cards The average deck takes no more than 15k to make, which when you're farming for 300-400 gold a game doesn't take that long at all really. I play a game in 10-15 minutes and i get well over 1k gold an hour I play maybe 1/2 hours a day and i've already built a top tier order deck and a top tier energy deck within that time The key is to just check the trading channels in between games and look for deals, and spam for people looking to sell their cards and you slowly build the deck you want. Deck's really arn't as expensive as they sound, i.e my order deck is 3k on speed 2k on generals 1.5k in vanguards 1.5k in waking stones 1k on commons 1k in uncommons 1k on pothers 1.5k on imperial resources 2k on other "stuff" roughly 15k to build this deck | ||

Its better to go and get every scrolls available and construct multiple decks than aiming for only 1 deck and have nothing else. By the time you filled up your deck, others could probably got more than 50% of all the cards that is available. Plus as you filled up your deck, you could always resell extras on the market to refilled your gold bank. | ||

Hard to get gold if you can't win | ||

I bought packs of 10 cards for 1k, and everything in there is just bad. Meanwhile i lose games because i don't have a single quake, decimation or godhand, so i simply can not ever wipe the board if the enemy gets ahead in any way, i might as well surrender. I actually think i just don't like TCGs. I thought the concept was cool, but having to farm so much gold just to have a deck that not sucks is annoying. Basically, i thought you have a cool deck, and make it cooler with new cards. Instead you have a shit deck, and have to farm for ages to have a not-shit deck. I think a main problem is that there is no real low elo, and you gain nothing for losses. So i am stuck with my bad deck gaining no gold at all when i lose, playing against people with thunder surges and quakes and god hands and whatnots. Is there any reasonable way to gold that does not involve winning against other players or doing the hard challenges, for which either i or my deck is apparenty not good enough either? Or is there some sort of deck that actually works with cheap cards only? | ||

It would suck when I would run into people with several more rares than me but you deal with it, learn how to beat it with what you have and find the game all the easier when you do obtain the better cards to complete your deck. | ||

I think the main problem is that you gain NOTHING when you lose. So you feel like you have to win to progress. But your deck actively hinders your ability to win because you KNOW which cards you want in there, but you don't have them. So you lose, gain nothing, and are annoyed. This is how i feel at the moment. If i had cards, i could win and get gold and get more cards. But since i don't have the cards, i lose, don't get gold, don't get additional cards, and will never get out of it. This could be solved by having actual low Elo so people can win no matter how bad their decks are, but that doesn't exist either due to the stupid not losing points for the first 1500. | ||

And as i said before, i spent the money from trial on random scrolls, which was apparently a bad decision, since now i got lots of crappy order cards, lots of crappy energy cards, and lots of crappy growth cards. | ||
