Just thought I'd give a Biolith Deck a try, I'm not a big fan of these decks because there very mana intensive but i see many top players using them so they must be decent. Any points would be helpful.

this deck is to expensive. remove dungeon of ten tyrants for 2 1 mana creatures.

Well sorry to say but after 6 games with it I'm 6wins with 0 losses so I'll be keeping it the way it is. I guess you can void this post since I've made up my mind...LOL This deck is supposed to be mana intensive thus the reason for 2 tyrants. I'm doing alright for mana as I have 10x 1 mana creatures.

every time i drop a dungeon siam comes by and chop chop... yay i just wasted two mana but then im not a big fan of fortress cards at all. i see the dungeon in pretty much every biolith deck so it must work to some extent i just find 4 mana too much to pay for a card that does zero damage and allows your opponent to hide his own guys around. the two dungeons woudl be the first cards to go for me if you get tino and blinding skies.

id use magus over spitters. magus damage is a certainty plus your opponent will make less optimal plays ie exposing a back to get the magus. they will usually ignore the spitter and save it to break check.

sorry to say, but i think you just didn't fought the higher rankings cause they'll win against this deck

Maybe I miss worded my previouse post and for that I appologies. I didn't mean to sound rude I was simply saying I'm happy with my deck build. 2 of my opponents were in the top 100 I'll get the names if you'd like there on my online playing list. I may have gotten very luck who really knows, I'll record my next "high ranking" match and post it. Then you can see the way my deck works out and decide for yourself.

Very similar to my own bio deck with a few minor changes, I have a few more one drops and a bit more card draw. For those who do not think this is a good build, trying playing against it, it works well. I do agree with the spitter post though.

Every time someone claims he has a wining streak with a deck like 10-0, 6-0 or so they claim they played with a <#100 ranked players.

Interesting, I played over 250 games and very rarely get the chance to play a high-ranked player

Honestly since the ranking system is based on quantity of play and not quality, it does not really matter imo. You can play a "top 100" player who has a losing record or around .500, but just has a ton of ranked games played. The odds of playing 2 top 100 in one day are small, yet it is feasible. I wish it would happen to me so I could actually care about winning the game so I would get more than 2 points. If something comes up or I have something better to do I normally do not have a problem surrendering a ranked match as it is only a 1 point difference.

Deck looks good, but I would do:
- 2x Hellfire Spitters for + 2x Flame Magus
- 1x Tritonan Ice Guard for 1x Phaseus, Biolith God or Arc Satellite Cannon
