Could you make a mid-level opponent with these:

Combo yes
Same yes
Same Wall no
Plus yes
Random no
Sudden Death yes
Elemental yes
Victory condition: Difference

Could you give me your reasoning for doing so?

I'm wary of letting good cards slip through the net. It should take a good while before you're regularly playing with level 5 cards, for example.

Well, when I said mid-level I meant difficulty. Is that determined solely on what cards the opponent has?

Edit: wow, Hades is badass. For a second there I thought I might have a chance with my awesome level 1 deck.

He turned my 6-4 into a 3-7 with one card.

Pretty much, yeah. There are a few higher settings I've used for the really mean opponents, but the lower ones are mainly defined by their decks and the rules in place.

Is there a way to figure out the elemental association for a particular card? Or is that just trial-and-error?

Also, when I mouse over the square on the board, I see "Fire Deck", regardless of the actual element symbol on that square. What does that mean?

Not all cards have an elemental association. If it does, it will have an elemental symbol clearly in the top right of the card. I've attached an example below.

That's just the name of the arena; nothing important.

The tournament system appears to have quite a scheduling problem. 4 matches out of 7 already disqualified, with the final to be played.

Yeah, I clearly set the timeout too low. Shoulda made it 24 hours.

I'll know better for the next one! Guess someone's just gonna get lucky and win 30gp by default this time!

Hah! [MENTION=94582]UnknownAtThisTime[/MENTION] is doing pretty well out of one-off cards I've offered for stupidly low prices in the Trade Center. He's snagged a Treant and Dragon for almost nothing today!

Another tournament set up. This one has a larger prize and definitely has a 24-hour timeout.

Magic Forest, 8 players, 50gp prize, Combo, Same, Same Wall, Plus, Elemental. Deck size 20 cards.

Too bad my understanding of the game lags my understanding of the marketplace!
