Previously i did better. It might be confusing a bit, but the older and better deck is under this one, so this new deck did actually worse.
Even though it's almost the same deck.

Sigh... I was so close to get Rank 1.

At first I was like:

Getting closer. But then I was still like:

Sigh...
Today's oracle card is Deja Vu.

As a tribute to Time Trials, I built this monotime (if we don't count the purify splash) before Phase 3 started. On day 3, the highest rank I could peek was 47 with 25-3.

The main strategy was spamming creatures fast on the field so that the opponent can't react to all of them. Sadly the Vus made the deck already weak against Swallow and VDB, so I had to keep pressure with Rewinds. The purifies are only there for PDials.

Yesterday, I almost didn't spin my daily Oracle card. It turned out to be a Purple Nymph!
Today I jynxed that I won't spin a nymph, because I'm expecting it now. Turns out that jynxing it without knowing counted as not expecting it, so I got a Black Nymph today. I think it's time to build a Liquid Antimatter deck of some sort. ^^"

The randomness was too unreliable in this. Next time I should stick with mass quanta generation.

I tried no life card yet from the Oracle, so I thought I give it a shot. I lacked upgraded cards and experience with the element, so I failed badly. Next time I should try a FFQ deck.

Today's oracle card is time pillar. I remember building mostly Ghostmare around it, so maybe it will be a variant of Ghostmare again. But who knows.

[dawn to dusk]

Tbh, I would have made an FFQ deck with as many blue nymphs as you can.
The problems that deck has is:
The combo takes too long to start up when going against various decks
It is weak vs a lot of plat farmers
For a deck with double draw, 10 mitos aren't needed. Seriously, that's nearly half of your creatures with mitosis
No heals. You are going to want to be able to stall while your combo gets set up. You will only be healing 3-4 damage for a few of the early turns. You want some external healing while the bonds set up.

If you were set on the idea, I'd go -1 frog, -1 chicken, -2 mitos, +4 heals.
If you weren't, go FFQ-UG.

For next time ofc ^^

[Submachine]

Thanks for the feedback. I have 3 Blue Nymphs, so either strategy might work.

I got much less plays than last time, so it's hard to tell which one did better on average.

Today's oracle card is death pendulum.

I forgot to add Sundials because I'm a retard. But at least I remembered anti's wise words.
Next time I should try adding less bonewalls, +1 Miracle and some sundials. (the pendulums shout for miracles in this deck)

I don't even know what could have gone wrong with this. Maybe I was just swarmed by Pdials or VDB. Yes, that might explain.

Next time I should try going with only 1 Poseidon and PA, while i include more Purify and whatever i feel the need for. Maybe a Diamond or a Permafrost... ? Who knows.

The Quest is semi-completed!(?) I don't even know anymore. Credit goes to Antlion-guest from blab chat, who spotted my deck ranking at 1st(?) place for a short time when I was not online. In the official rankings you can see that my rating is equal to the rating of the 1st deck, which means that I was also at Rank 1 simultaneously. :3

About the deck, Mutations made sure that VDB and Swallow had headaches, while Pandemoniums made sure that no rolhope gets in the way. About PDials, I think that my most dangerous weapon against them was Discord+Amber nymph combo, but only if they didn't apply tons of poison on me early.

I know it's not the best, but I wanted to try this combo. I'm taking it down, because it's slow and doesn't have much HP to compensate. The current Plat #1 deck is also FFQ-based, however, and I faced it; next time i should try an Adrenaline-based SoFree combo.

I hurried when i threw this together. I didn't expect it to get higher yet, but this is a startpoint for later Crimson Dragon decks.
