Gravity Shield blocks all creatures without momentum.
Lobotomizer removes Momentum.
Shard of Gratitude removes damage from creatures with momentum and Eternity, and makes the deck more safe.
The immortal creatures make the damage, it doesn´t matter if there´s a Turtle Shield or not.

SoG is one of the cards you need for many other decks, and Lobotomizers are quite common.
Should not be too hard to get.

Edit: With catapults introduced in 1.27, and the SoG nerf, this deck could now be worse.

Pretty much any deck with permafrost shields/gravity shields/titanium shields, SoGs, and either eternity or lobotimizer can beat osiris simply by decking him out. Theres no need to even damage him.

[teffy]

You forget the AI changes.

Osiris eats his own Scarabs, when the field is full, and he uses Eternity to rewind his Scarabs tp prevent decking out.
For decking him out, the Eternity must be destroyed or stolen.

Rainbow decks could work, too, but the victories are not as safe as victories with this deck.

[Nume]

Heh I havent actually played my old rainbow (which just decked him out) since the latest patch, so I didnt know he could do that . However, with my current one I let him fill his field still without doing anything to his creatures and they have never eaten each other. I dont deck him out (since I just use 2 quinted lava destroyers) but yeah he still fills his side and doesnt eat his own.

[kobisjeruk]

i think it depends on what shield you're using
i noticed Osiris tend to leave his critters alone if you have a permafrost out even with a full board
but he will rewind/devour if you have either jade shield or gravity shield

also, aflatoxin helps alot if you can cast it early
aim for a pharaoh and he will devour that pharaoh if the scarab has enough HP, funny thing is he wont touch any cells after that so it will limit his scarabs

[Nume]

He doesnt eat his cells? I have never used it on him simpy because I assumed he would eat them and it would just let his scarabs grow huge.

[kobisjeruk]

only with a permafrost in play (i assume you're talking about Amilir's NoCC variant)
i havent tested it with Diamond/Jade/Gravity Shield though i figured you probably shouldnt cast it for anything other than a permafrost

[Nume]

You are correct about him not eating cells. I just had a game where I got an aflatoxin on his first pharaoh, and was able to fractal scarabs by the time he was able to play them. By the end he had 4 pharaohs, and the rest of the field was mal cells . The only reason his pharaoh's lived was that he had an eterinity out for a while that I couldnt kill, so he kept rewinding my scarabs, and I got very little time quanta that game after the start so yeah. But it was still hilarious imo .l

i just use mono aether with some lobotomisers for unstoppables never lost. hes kinda hard with a rainbow though

I replaced the excess Gravity Towers with Rewinds just to deal with the Momentum'd creatures.  This way you can still get rid of them when you are down to your last card.

The Oracle keeps sending me to Osiris and I have won 4 out of 4 times with that deck.  teffy's may be quicker, though.

For decking him out, the Eternity must be destroyed or stolen.

Actually, since the FGs draw 2 cards at a time, that is not needed.  The Rewinds he has in the deck will just keep him around for 5 turns longer.

I'm pretty sure that doesnt matter, as when they have 1 card left they dont instantly lose. As long as they have 1 card to draw each turn (the rewinded card) they dont count as decking out. They only draw 2 if they are able to, it isnt mandatory.
