Long ago, there was a village, its name now lost, where people lived a simple and peaceful life. It all began a man had lost his mind - no one knew the reason. But it seemed contagious, it spread like wildfire. Insanity consumed the people in a few days; the peace turned into chaos and mad frenzy. And then, when the last seed of sanity was eliminated, a glorious figure appeared, floating above the earth, followed by a group of fallen druids. It was a goddess, or a being close to it - it was Mania. The crazed villagers gathered around her and worshipped her ever-twisting avatar. And as they worshipped, her druids transformed them all into vile abominations, increasing the army of the goddess.
Although considered only a tale, it is said that she is still out there, hunting.


Her strategy is quite simple, but playing her will never be the same. She is weak to massive CC, quanta denial and bad luck. I chose abominations because they fit the theme better and are tougher than RoLs - they can do some damage alone without mutation too, and don't die to a single RoF.

Needs moar :life quanta, and with all that Fractal, could probably use less MAbs.  Crazy deck though.

Wrote a story and removed 1 Amethyst Tower, and changed the Life pendulums into Life Towers.

Definitely needs more :life. I suggest removing the Pandemoniums and switch them for Emerald Towers. I know you don't need that many, but you need to draw one early otherwise you'd get quanta-screwed.
To be or not to be, I can do both at once. Go learn quantum mechanics, n00b.

I don't want to remove all the pandemoniums because they provide her with mass CC (Die Rol/Hope, die!) and.. they are great. :D But I removed 1 panda and added 1 more life tower. Don't forget that supernovas give her :life too

maybe change mark to life and get rid of emerald towers, three mutations a turn seems like enough

But then the point of the deck, the fractal abomination is lost - without an aether mark, how will she fractal them?

Yeah, I think that the changes you've already made are enough.  Basically, every 3 turns you get a wave of Abominations, and in general odds are the same for drawing a Life Tower as they are for drawing the Druids that require :life quanta, so you're sitting pretty here.  I like this deck.  It may end up failing simply because we already have Chaos Lord and Destiny taking up the 'random creature producer' slot, but the theory behind it is solid, there aren't any AI problems to be seen, and it'd be powerful and fun without being too strong.

The only thing that I'd do at this point is swap out one Amethyst Tower for a shield, just because it's kind of traditional for all FGs to have a weapon and a shield.  Dissipation Shield, Jade Shield, or Spine Carapace, that's is the question.  (Or I guess you could go for Fog Shield or Mirror Shield, given your Supernovas.  That'd be interesting.)
If something happens and you think it deserves my attention, feel free to PM me. Other than that, I'm probably here if you want to shoot the breeze.

I'm glad you like the deck. :) But sadly you are right, this one has little chance due to the already existing gods. Would be great to change Destiny to Mania though. :D  Also, Rainbow doesn't have a shield.

The shield thing is interesting, but can't decide. Dissipation Field wouldn't be good due to the tight quanta pool (would drain the quanta from mutants and fractal and everything else). Jade and Thorn might cost too much. Thinking of Fog, but I'm not sure if it fits the theme and where to put it in. I don't want to remove any Amethyst Pillars because she needs a lot of :entropy early. Other shields seem too costly or ineffective, they would interfere too much with mutations.
Should I make the deck 82 cards?

Nah.  If Rainbow sets the precedent of a shield-less FG, just run with it as-is. :)

I really don't see why so many Micro Abominations are needed what there's fractals. You could use those spots for something more important, like Life Towers or Pends...
