Are there decks that don't require a ton of upgrades that can hang with the God decks?

I've tried monoaether and monofire and been simply smoked each time out, because all I've got are a few Fire Towers.

i play mono-aether

9x pillar
7x tower
6x dim shield
6x parallel universe
2x phase dragons
3x elite phase dragons
1x electroluter (upgraded lobotomizer)

when i killed my first god, there just some towers and the lobo were upgraded
the dragons bring a good damage bost at the cost of small quanta, so upgrading here makes much sense
also the lobotomizer should be upgraded early, because the skill costs then are just 1 quanta
and in many fights the early circumcision of the god's creatures make it winnable (e.g. the ffq's, creatures thet apply poisen etc.)

but even with those upgrades i only win a small percentage of the fights.... estimated about 3-4 out of 10 (did't count ^^)

i win 4 out of 9 games with an almost completly upgraded rainbow deck, so those odds arent that bad.

This is the issue at hand. If it takes 1500 coins to upgrade a card, and there's a minimum of 30 cards in a deck, that's 450,000 coins to even put up a fight.
I heard so much positive talk about how awesome a FFQ deck was that I decided to make one, and granted it rapes when it gets going.
However in a fight against a god, I'm dead before I can do maybe 25 damage.

Aether is a almost sure win with Incarnate and Miracle. There's also a good chance to win against Chaos lord and Fire Queen if you have a lobo within 3 turns. I'd say mono-aether is a good start before you make more complicated sure-win fake god decks.

Must say I love your maths. Haha

Anyways, scaredgirl's deck may have a decent win percentage but I do not care for that. I care for wins/time. I have tried it upgraded and it is not so good in terms of that. I would even choose mono-aether over that as although you would 'lose' a lot, you just forfeit to Rainbow, Scorpio, Hermes, Graviton and Gemini. So basically you will lose 5/9 and also a bit of the 4/9 so you'll maybe win a bit more than 1/3 of the time but take up 4/9 of the time. Much more effective imo.

Lol seriously, it's not 450,000 electrums to upgrade a 30 card deck... It's 45,000.
