Used this version of the deck in the OP, guess what happened:

...

Where are my shields??

(deck image edited to remove question marks)

Why not put 6 shields and 6 shards in this deck?  There is NO other card in the deck that you care if you get before you are to the point of rewinding, so no real reason to worry about a larger deck getting a bad draw.  The ONLY bad draw is no shield or no shards.

Used the 3rd deck in the OP, works nicely, since his creatures can't really hurt me, even the scarabs

By the time I have everything set up in the field, he has decked out xD So no EM?

EDITEDIT :

Oracle told me to fight him again, and I won, with an EM. But it seems that Lionheart won't deckout that fast today, so I need to be extra careful and keep my deck loaded with photon for a while. He was extra careful at his last 10 cards and keep discarding a card a turn, so he won't deck out as fast as yesterday, AI improvement?


I really recommend the 3rd deck for newbies, it's really cheap and counters Lionheart really well. Seriously. Just remember, don't deck yourself out and hold drain lifes for finishing:D

the priorities on this deck are to inflict neurotoxin and to put up a grav shield then try to rewind  only his Anubis and pharaoh unless he already got ~ 3 scarabs and low then let him use his time quanta to get >6 scarabs in order to get them blocked by your shield.
 
works too without the sogs i added a shield and a eternity but a momentum and a scorp should work too.

Well, Lionheart did something I never thought was possible: he DIDN'T deck himself out! (Curse you Anubis-eating Scarabs!)

Unfortunately, the only source of damage I have is an Eternity at this point, and he has 116 HP left... *sigh*

Just keep rewinding and you'll eventually win.

For situations like this, the Eternity's effect may prove helpful

You collect insane amounts of anyways, and the 1 extra HP means it can survive facing 2 Scarabs on the field whereas RoL would get snacked on

I used the gravity/sanctuary/steal deck from the first post, and it worked great! Took a while for Lionheart to decide to quint his last scarab instead of playing it over and over til he decked out, I actually got him 16 damage away from death with stacking the drain life's.

Used Jappert's deck for an easy EM and 3 cards on the spin - thanks matey, twas good to use all my shards in a deck too!

Heh, thanks for giving it a try! It's pretty much a 100% EM yes, 3 cards is a nice result though!

Since whichever card you choose for your rewind card will NEVER be on the field of play at the end of your turn, it doesn't matter at all what it can survive.  You will never play it without rewinding it, so it will either be in your hand (when you draw it) or on top of your deck (when you start rewinding it every turn).  You will pay its casting cost every turn, however.

Since you are trying to amass 75 Earth quanta before you play your Stone Skins (and when I last played this deck, I didn't manage; he decked himself out so fast that I had to play my Stone Skins with around 60 Earth quanta), no sense spending one every turn to play a Gnome Rider when a Ray of Light is free to play.
