Blank cards are 2 SoSA and 6 SoPa.

Note: this is the concept and not intended to be a final product
So I love Malignant Cells. Don't know why, guess I'm weird that way. The deck's aim is straightforward: get out a RoL, aflotoxin it and wait till your screen fills with cells while stalling as best you can. Then play 2-4 SoPa in one turn and watch as the yellow potential damage bar goes up and up the next turn. ? ? ?. And profit. (though not much profit, it's still in only the AI3 stage of victory)

With the addition of SoPa this became a viable concept since previously a field of MCs did jack squat against any damage reduction shield. Now that all your monsters get buffed, a full field with even one SoPa is an additional 23 damage per shard. The expected outcome is to get MC growth by the latest turn 3, then stall with Sundials and using it to draw with the RoL's singular  :light gain. After your field is full or mostly full play your last Sundial and every SoPa you have (delay turns don't stack, and Sundial anyway prevents that turn's attack) The following turn will be a mess of damage. Next turn or so should be victory.

The problem: It...doesn't work well yet. I can't seem to get enough stall to guarantee at least 40 HP for a 2 turn SoSa stall at the end to finish them up. I know this can work, but I'm stumped what to do. I played around with a Time mark, Precogs, and more SoSa to get through the deck faster, but then I lost most of my stall and lost more often. Suggestions would be much appreciated, since it's not great as is (though does win maybe 50%). It's for the novelty of it, not really utility.

Whoa, a creative and actually useful use of SoPa... I haven't tested your deck yet, but it seems interesting.

Looks interesting!  I would replace the sundials for shards of sacrifice for more stalling power until you get the combo out.

What about changing the mark to water and adding a couple flooding.

My only reason for using sundials is for the extra burning through the deck to get at the SoPa. Though I won't disagree that the two turns from SoSa is infinitely more useful than the single sundial stall that affects you too. I'll try to replace one and see how it goes.

Hmm, I could test that but what should I replace? It already suffers from stalling issues and I'm hesitant to lose the high possibility of a second turn Aflotoxin if I change the mark/go above 30 cards. It is meant as a controlled rush, though it may not seem like it, and Flooding might draw it out too much. Would you mind explaining your thoughts behind your suggestion?

flooding doesnt give cells +4/+4 sadly. They only get +1 /+0

What you could do is to add  :gravity and put a Chimera in there. After you played your SoP bring Chimera into play and hit him in the same turn. And as a bonus he goes threw shields :)

Im using Chimera in my SoP deck. Not finished with it yet but I will post it if I ever get it to work farming bronze.
