Fire / Re: Favorite Fire Card

Fire Storm is a great card, very useful in conjunction with so many other cards in the game... might be amongst the strongest cards.

Fallen Druid is my favorite card in the game, it's humorous to see what it'll make next.

Graveyard is one of my favorite cards... it's like a consolation prize whenever one of your critters dies.

Darkness / Re: Favorite Darkness card?

I love Steal.  One of the most fun to play, and one of the most awful to have played against you.

The Eagle's Eye... it's like a knife to make fat creatures into the proper bite size for my Oty.

Parallel Universe is my favorite because it offers so many possibilities... I also find the Dimensional Shield quite useful.

I love the Oty and his never ending appetite.

Water / Re: Arctic Squid / Arctic Octopus

This was the first "rare" card that I ever won... I was using water at the time, so I got to use it immediately... I really like the squid.

Water / Re: Ice Shield / Permafrost Shield

Does anyone know (roughly) the percent chance of the freeze happening?  The random freezes is anooying enough, the 2 damage prevention really makes this thing hurt.

Water / Re: Mind Flayer / Ulitharid

This card has definitely won me games... in fact, I credit my last FG victory to this card (Osiris) for mind-nuking all the pharaohs.

Rainbow Decks / How to beat ALL the False Gods using the ULTIMATE False God killing deck

« on: December 15, 2009, 10:10:32 pm »

Updating my progress with the deck.  Have recently been fortunate to win several spins on the reel, including cards that went directly into the deck (couple of towers, both feral bonds, and a phase shield) and a few things that were sold.  Appreciate the pointer on Miracle, I actually went on a streak of playing Miracle and only lost 1 of the games out of like 5.

W-L Record:

Morte (2-6) - Never able to deal with the poison, draw out as much as possible... poison actually bigger issue here for me than on Scorpio.

Hermes (2-4) - Should be 3-3, I was dumb and let a shield expire with 1 turn before winning.

Graviton (4-7) - It's safe to say his shield is huge to steal.

Chaos Lord (9-2) - Losses are bad draws.

Gemini (9-2) - Easy once the druid or flayer are out.

Seism (7-4) - Every win feels like its going to be a loss, always fun.

Incarnate (8-2) - Losses are bad draws.

Miracle (6-5) - Horrible if the druid, golem or queen don't make an early appearance.

Fire Queen (7-0) - Have won with horrible draws, probably a bit too easy?

Scorpio (8-7) - Miracle helped out a ton.

Rainbow (3-5) - Hardest god imo.

Overall 65-44... win percentage of ~60%... very noticeable improvement with some upgraded cards.

PS - After upgrading the hourglasses and otyugh's, I found it huge to upgrade boneyard -> graveyard and to upgrade the owl's eye.  I already had an upgraded druid which is also very key.

Rainbow Decks / How to beat ALL the False Gods using the ULTIMATE False God killing deck

Appreciate the fantastic deck.  Was farming level 3 heading towards building my own styled deck, had upgraded like 10 cards on level 3, top 50 and PvP and was going to go crazy... this deck kept me sane.  Starting out with 10 upgraded towers was a nice bonus for sure.

W-L records on the gods thus far (from a few days and odd nights awake):

Morte 1-4
Hermes 1-2
Graviton 1-6
Chaos Lord 4-1
Gemini 6-1
Seism 3-3
Incarnate 7-1
Miracle 1-3
Fire Queen 5-0
Scorpio 3-5
Rainbow 1-3

Total thus far: 33-29

My observations:

Morte - I will always get a putrid hand.
Hermes - Haven't played him enough for it to be memorable.
Graviton - Routinely demolishes me.
Chaos Lord - One loss = fail draw.
Gemini - Is essentially about defeating the momentums.
Seism - Frustrating, but very rewarding when you win... 2 wins came with no more than like 3 pillars up at any one time at any point.
Incarnate - One loss = fail draw.
Miracle - Decking out is frustrating.
Fire Queen - Have even won when the draw is bad on 2 occasions.
Scorpio - My favorite opponent, rewarding wins and I felt the losses I had a decent chance when time ran out.
Rainbow - The win was a fluke, this guy is tough.
