Oracle : Dark Matter

[Sevs]

Doesn't the deck on the OP has 7 rares?

If you don't own those cards, use the 2nd deck.

[Seraph]

Although i own the required number of lobos, I just want to know how the deck w/ 4 lightning works.
Both the chargers and the nymphs have to be killed, right? otherwise the nymphs will deny you,


Note: That 4 lobos gives you 75% chance of starting hand lobo.

Well. This deck works great (or at least it has in the five games I tried) until his hand fills up with Gravity Forces and he's reduced to single draw. Then you deck out. At the moment, the unupped deck in OP is far superior, but I'm hoping someone can improve on this.

Lightning is for Nymphs first (he has four), then Chargers if you have any to spare. An early Nymph can and will kill you by denying you your and doing the equivalent of 12 damage per turn to your Diss Shield. Naturally, you Antimatter what you must to stay alive, but given the choice it's Dragon>Angel>Charger, because his Angels/Dragons put too much pressure on the shield otherwise. Butterfly Effect is there for the sole purpose of spaying his Nymphs. Its lack of dependence on your is a huge plus. More dead Chargers for you. Do not play the Shield too early or you may be denied the opportunity to Antimatter anything. Mindgate is the wut card right now, aka my failed attempt at drawing out his Gravity Forces (his Otyughs will eat anything you play first).

Once this deck can find a way to reliably lure 5 of his Gravity Forces (dead cards = 3 weapons, 8 GF, 6 dead cards = keeps double draw) it should work quite well.

I see right away that 50 cards with no drawing power at all is ridiculous. 30 Pillars/Pendulums, worst thing that could happen is your hand is filled with Pillars/Pendulums is highly likely...

[YawnChainHow]

While true, what works in your advantage is that Dark Matter often gets 3 Pillar starts (rarely more) and spends his first few turns spamming BH. You, on the other hand, often have more than 3 Pillars, so you get a few turns of free draws and quanta buildup, and your first Antimatter is ready to meet his first creature more often than not.

Why not give it a few tries? 

[Chodos]

How annoying. The aether only deck is great, but I lost badly since I didn't get a electrocutor out fast enough. Too much momentum through the phase shields.

[TheForbiddenOracle]

Man, so close to winning with an EM . He played a last turn Momentum when he finally ran out of GP's to use on his creatures...

[ddevans96]

I got utterly obliterated with the unupped deck, - lightnings, + lobos. Black Holes deny way too much quanta for it to be effective unupped.

[Essence]

Upped deck in OP is good.  I missed EM because of a last-turn Momentum, but even though I chose the wrong mark (Darkness lulz) AND I didn't draw my second Dragon until I had only 7 cards left in the deck (Those Gravity Forces are hella annoying when he has 4x Massive Dragon to play them on; 120 extra damage is no joke with only 4 critters in your deck), I won quite handily on the second-to-last turn.  Solid deck for this god.

[Zee_n1]

OP's 1st deck worked out great, I would have ended with EM if not for that Titan played while he had 1 HP left. Only differences were -1 shard, +1 dragon. Started chaining my shields pretty early, probably around 22 cards left in my deck, but he dies really quickly since he burnt all his Black Holes early on and I could Lobo his nymphs.

Killing Dark Matter with a Rainbow? Oh, the irony!

It's quite risky, of course, but getting an early Sanctuary out practically seals your victory. Use at your own risk.

Only use a Supernova if you have at least 1 . Once you have a single Sanctuary out, play it normally. Antimatter Chargers (or the highest attack creature with momentum), quint a Destroyer and Queen, stop drawing once you have some damage and a shield out. Steal Titans (I chose to replace Pulvys with Steals, but either way works). It may be worth taking the Queen and Fractal out.

EDIT: Queen is rendered useless with Otyughs. Replace Fractal with another Quint or use it on one of his creatures.
