Hey, just wanted to share my new unupped PvP deck:

Hover over cards for details, click for permalink

Deck import code : [Select]

4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 50a 50a 50a 50a 50a 5f6 5ib 5ib 5ri 5ri 5ri 5ri 5ri 5se 5se 5se 5se 5up 61u 8ps

(Shards are: 4x Readiness, 5x Serendipity)


Build this deck after being seriously mad because of Soses OPness in upped rainbows, so I wanted to troll a little + give away some shards in unupped PVP. But ofc it ends me dominating nearly everything o.o.

Shard of Serendididititipy should be obvious, first get all youve got to the field, than reload your hand for next strike. Shard of Readiness + Fate Egg = Very nice and fast field domination (gives you 2 identical creatures). Often you get that combo on turn 2 -> getting 2 dragons is nearly instantwin, most of the time youll get dragons, nymphs or other useful creatures.
Ofc it can fail miserably (two skeletons etc) but it happens rarely AND isnt that dramatic, because you have enough card advantage to compensate for that.

Squids + Lobotomizer are guaranteed CC, deflag and steal -> PC

So try it out, its a lot of fun to spam random creatures =D

SoSe really isn't that OP at all.  Have you tried adding novas?

Considering the coming nova nerf, it may not be the wisest idea, plus the deck needs continuous water and aether to fund Squids and Lobo.

[AchDeToni]

Thought about novas but it would make it more instable. Speed things up at beginning, but cards you get from serendipity tend to be expensive, thats why you need some quantum-income.

Squids dont need that much  , because you have SoR for them to work ! Still more  helps them and saves you the shards for eggs.

I feel like this is evidence that fate egg + SoR is OP more than SoSe.  The deck is tons of fun though and works well in Silver with upped cards.

You should check out my deck Sosegg I posted about ages ago. Really, very similar.

I tried this deck (mostly upped) a bit on AI3.  It's a lot of fun 

...But it's really not OP at all.  In fact, aside from being fun to play, it's downright shoddy.  I found I never had enough  ,  , or  , particularly in the early game.  If you have 1 , should you play serendipity, or hold out to get the fate egg combo?  You mentioned getting eggs ready on turn 2, but I find that almost never happens, even with upped quantum towers.  For the amount of rares in the deck, we should expect much better performance...  especially considering we could just as well play a pharaoh-readiness deck and it would be 10x more effective.

The deck's fun, though.  If the point is optimal funness, maybe the PC/CC should be removed and replaced by mutations or fallen elfs
