Oracle : Serket

[TheForbiddenOracle]

Excellent deck in the OP. The only possible way of losing is if all 6 wings are burried somewhere, as when you draw one you can wait to draw another for 5 turns. Only complaint I have is the chances of getting EMs as against me he always gets first turn arsenics

First time I met Serket, and failed just like that: one turn without wings, and you're done. Great counter, still.

thabks for the unnupped deck won a scorpion

[tttt]

Decks in OP work fine. Can get EM if you beat Serket to the poison counter.

[zupermannd]

Since Serket uses poison and you can't guarantee you'll get Wings before he pops out his first scorpion, maybe go air/water duo with Purifies.  A slightly longer battle for an EM against a FG is a neat trade-off, if you ask me.

I agree
So something like this:

Of couse you will lose if I do not get a wings between the first 10 cads or if the last 5 cards are the dragons

Great deck!

If you have upped Sundials--I imagine even a lot of fairly new folk do--you can replace the Precogs with Sundials and use a mark of Light.  I got mastery even with no healing.  I played Sundials the first two turns (wasn't necessary the first turn as it played out, but I knew I could stop attacks the first two turns and then get Wings out from my opening draw), then on to the Wings for the rest of the game.

I didn't use exactly this.  I don't have 6 dragons yet (and I hate to buy cards with my upping money; I know I will spin them eventually), but I had a couple of Eagle's Eyes and an Animate Weapon, and I threw in a Blue Nymph and two Elite Fireflies I had spun, along with the two dragons I do have, which was plenty of damage even with just a 30 card deck, along with 6 upped Sundials and the rest pillars.

I am wondering if the card draw of the upped Sundials or Precogs is as valueable as the attack moratorium early--so even with unupped Sundials and no chance of a draw, would it be better to use them in place of the precogs?  There is a lot of margin once you get your first Wings up.  And maybe, still sticking to the unupped idea, using Nova and Sundial in some proportion and even removing some of the pillars.

Anyway sundial won't stop the arsenic but it's a good idea

[johannhowitzer]

Upped Sundial is free to play, so if you have some left over from running basic anti-FG rainbows, definitely use them with Light mark.  Like Precogs, they take up zero space in the deck (as long as you can supply some ), and unlike Precogs, they double as a stall.

i used the unupped air deck in the OP and i got screwed bad -.- does look like a good deck though just annoyed i didnt get wings out in time =\

I forgot that Wings had limited time and failed to put another up. Grats me, I suppose.
