"Skittles" taste the rainbow!

This deck was posted before the 1.32 game update and as a result may work very differently now.  Use at your own risk.
Yeah, been saving that name for a little Would have called this deck "Hopebow," but, meh, am tired of hearing XXXX-bow names.

First, I apologize if this has been done before. I don't post decks here simply because it seems every idea I get, it's been done before. Hoping that's not the case here, but I suspect it may be.

This is a work in progress so feedback would be cool. I started playing against FGs with RoL/Hope and was moderately satisfied with the results. Then I switched to CCYB because I was tinkering with rainbow'esque decks. What I noticed was I liked rainbows for versatility and I loved RoL/Hope's awesome defense. What either lacked the other had. So I figured let's see what would happen if I combined them.

EDIT**

Okay, after going though many versions (thanks greatly to dragoon!) this is the version I've found the best success with. I've played many games vs the FGs and I didn't keep a record of all the battles specifically, mainly due to changing the deck up here and there, but I can say this version is the most consistent.

Now, like any deck, this deck has bad days with draws. No deck is immune to that. Also FGs can be very strong given their advantages. Sometimes you can get an iffy hand and the FG just smokes you. These aren't excuses, but simple reality when fighting FGs. But, this deck does well against just about every FG with the notable exception of Dark Matter and Scorpio. They can be beat, and I've beat them with this deck, but it's not a good match up IMO.

At some point in time, I'll post actual win/losses with all the bells and whistles of each match as soon as I get to it. But in my testing and actual playing, this deck has all the fun RoL/Hope has with the control of CCYB. One thing about this deck is it's another (IMO good) deck that one can use when grinding FGs and have fun doing it. The biggest thing I've noted though is the amount of EM's I get. It's uber easy to pull off EMs if you time everything right



Enjoy!

protected diamond shield will totally own this deck

...just saying

[jmdt]

I'm gonna have to try this.  Ulitharid are one of my favorite cards.

[jmizzle7]

My first thought is that Diamond Shield is your absolute worst nightmare. Apart from that, I like it. You should include a golem or something to help punch through damage-reducing shields. Other than that, I like it.

This deck is a good candidate for a steam machine.

Do you generate enough Life quanta to fill the field with FFs from just 7 Towers + 6 SNs?

Yup, definately. This deck can stall well enough for a Steam Machine to rack up damage, and it doesn't use Fire quanta.

I doubt you need an entire field. 15 Fireflies blocks out just about all non-boosting creatures.

Would adding a Fractal be worth it?  Seems like you could get your Hope back up quickly against Graviton, Eternal Phoenix, etc. with it.  Possibly also speed up your defense against gods with RoLs.

[RavingRabbid]

This was an old idea of mine, Fireflope.

Thanks for letting it live again. I think your version is way better than mine.

I don't think it is worth it.


I didn't even need to play hope this match.  I am really starting to like this deck.
This is the deck I used:

I think Steam Machine just found its place in Elements.  On a side note, my fourth win where Hope didn't do anything.
EDIT2:

I was curious if this could beat Divine Glory.



Win.
