Darwin; a scientist who devoted his life to finding out how life had become what life is. His theory of evolution gave answers to why species existed where they did, and how they had adapted to become the perfect beings they are. He found out that the evolution took not only life, but long periods of time. Darwin's research spawned new natural laws, new science and new beliefs. His memory and heritage has become immortal; a False God. Darwin found out what life is, the perfect example of adaption.

Purely mechanically, the deck is a mixture of a life rush and light stall-elements from time. The reason the deck has to have so insanely many cards is that there will be a maximum of 10 hourglasses out at the same time; so the cards will be drawn out with insane speeds. The creatures are, concept-wise, chosen to represent evolution: Frogs > Cockatrice > Dragon. These are the rush cards, together with hourglass. The stall cards are Turtle Shield, Eternity, Feral Bond and Improved Heal. One must notice that this deck is only usable by a False God.

I love the evolution theme.

Thing is, looking at these cards I don't think this FG can rush like Ferox can, he seems quite a bit slower. One of the risks when fighting this FG is to deck out, since his healing will be very good (combined with turtle shield), but any pulverizer can counter that.

My guess is that this FG is going to be very easy to beat. Still I must say you did a great job considering the Adaptation theme!

That's true. I edited the deck, so that it has more rush elements, and the stalling is slightly weakened.

Hey, someone remade Magazine! (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,602.msg6315#msg6315)   LOL, j/k. I do still think it's a good idea, though. :)
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 was thinking maybe there are too many turtle shields here... anyone got any suggestions as to what I could replace them with?
