I was an avid fan of Shak'ar's revenge, and now I've found this! (haven't played in a long,long while)
Looks pretty good, will try out once I get the SoBs.

Just a little 'guerilla' trick I've picked up- probably familiar to many
when against akebono, don't bother with the dolls at all. If you TU his strongest creatures and then BB them, you'll easily outdamage him with the overdrive and momentum'd dragons pounding on him.

Reviving this thread to say once more that Voodoo Bravery rocks, has given me a ton of victories and upped cards. Here's the variation that seems to work best for me, a cross between the SN and Nova versions.

Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
4vj 4vj 4vj 6u3 6u3 6u3 6ve 6ve 6ve 6ve 6ve 74d 74d 77l 77l 77l 77l 77l 77l 7ee 7ee 7ee 7ee 7ee 7tg 7tg 7tg 80b 80b 80b 8pu


Using only SNs means you desperately need one of the 5 pendulums, otherwise you'll never get anywhere. Novas solve this problem somewhat, just one will already allow you to play a SoB, two and you can get the combo going without pendulum. And you can play 1 SN and 1 Nova in one turn without triggering a singularity. Also I'm pretty sure you want three dolls, in the little test I recorded not drawing a doll was the #1 problem. Blocking the FG's weapon with one doll + BB is very useful for a number of FGs, sometimes even just playing one doll to draw out a card like drain life or congeal if the FG's hand is clogged and to make use of your SoBs can help. 5 SoBs and 3 TUs seem like enough to me.

I might try your variation, but in the past Ive been rather angry with VDB. Just wanted to let you know, you can actually play 2 novas and 1 Supernova a turn without triggering a sigularity, that might help you win a couple more games ;)

I'm still amazed nowadays how this deck is able to OTK with 440 HP while the opponent has only 8 damage output on his field.

[FG] Voodoo Bravery with Supernova, opt winrate ~65% https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=41435.msg1163152#msg1163152
« Reply #100 on: October 30, 2014, 12:12:21 pm »
So I was farming FGs with the standard Voodoo Bravery deck for a while.
Many times, I lost because in order for your deck to get started, you needed to have two specific cards in the early game (Entropy Pendulum, Supernova).
So I decided to use a different approach for the deck.

Instead of having to need two cards in your early game, i wanted to have to rely only on one (for the price of "losing" one turn, if you have the luck of having both cards in your starting hand)
The Mark is now Entropy and there are 6 copies of Supernova. This makes losing to an overly bad starting hand almost impossible.
The maximum of 18 Aether quanta needed is provided by the SNs (6*2=12) and 4 Aether Towers.
I also included one Mirror Shield, so Octane became a cakewalk and many other FGs can't kill you through Gravity Pull with eg. Fire Lance.

Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 74d 74d 77l 77l 77l 77l 77l 77l 7ee 7ee 7ee 7ee 7ee 7ee 7k0 7tg 7tg 808 808 808 808 80b 80b 80b 8pj


With this deck, I managed to get an opt. winrate of 64.62% while skipping 11 FGs (295 games played)
Reverse Time:                             Seism, Osiris, Lionheart and Destiny
Mutation:                                     Chaos Lord
Not enough Damage/Quanta:     Decay
Black Hole:                                   Dark Matter
Too much Damage/Momentum:   Ferox, Gemini, Graviton and Hecate

I also tried a version of the deck which included an Electrocutor instead of the sixth SN (against Momentums/Vampires and a little increase of damage), but getting Gemini and Graviton off the skiplist couldn't come up with the overall reduction of consistency. (opt. winrate 58.10%, 251 games played, 9 FGs skipped)
I'll test another version with Electrocutor, 6 SN and maybe only 5 Basilisk Blood

Nice. This seems like a great mod, tho I'm still partial to the nova version. What's your average TTW?

Unless he has Aether pillar in hand ::) Also, discarding isn't that hard with VDB; you usually have extra multiples of combo or lotsa SoB/SN in hand.

opt TTW is 8.864
TTW was not as important to me as a high winrate, so I always waited for the FG to bring me very low before I played Gravity Pull (unless I had no Mirror Shield, enough BB+TU in hand or it was Akebono  :D)
So TTW could still fall a bit, if played faster than me  ;D

Discarding sometimes is inevitable, my priority was:
1. double Voodoo Doll / double GP
2. triple or higher SN
3. double or higher BB

Discarding never is that much of a problem, as long as you don't discard bravery (=2 new cards), you should always be able to catch up when you draw the SN

I think I must be doing something wrong, maybe I'm missing a critical component of the strategy here, but I basically never win with any variant of this deck.

Would someone be so kind as to explain thoroughly how to play this deck successfully? Like, early game: accumulate quanta, mid-game: play voodoo doll, BB and GP, TU a high-power opp creature, BB it, late game: profit? I don't know, I've not really made it to late game with this deck.

Against most FGs, there usually isn't a creature worth using a TU on and I can't channel enough damage through the dolls to kill my opponent. I'm sure I'm missing something...
