I had this deck , it isnt really good, i like my new half-blood deck better

[PaulWog]

I tried this deck since I am desperate to get a false god grinding deck going. I can't quite seem to get the final few rares that can't be bought. So anyways, I had 2000 gold, so I went ahead and bought everything to make this deck. I'm down to literally 13 gold now because this deck has consistently lost. I play entirely properly with correct moves (not that it's complex in the least), and this deck has simply lost me gold nonstop for the past two hours. :-/

Am I just getting really unlucky? Should I tweak the deck? I've won a fair number of games, but the gold lost outweighs the wins significantly.

false god grinding deck

Title of thread/name of deck: The Essential Halfblood Farmer

There are very few FGs that this can beat consistently (something like 3 out of 29). It's meant for AI5 (Halfbloods), which consistently fail to produce anything that can harm you behind Dimensional Shield.

Explosions, steals, EQ's, and momentum can be found in many HB decks, and the problem is their decks are different everytime so you have no idea what they're carrying

Please read the entirety of my post. If you're going to assume that I'm doing something wrong, please clarify rather than assume. I realize the wording could be misinterpreted, but I thought mutually we'd have an understanding because the title of the thread is rather obvious to all of us.

I am desperate to get a FG deck going. I don't have one yet. Hence why I made this deck to farm until I can get to the false gods. <_<; It's obvious based on the first post (the guide) that this is a half-blood deck.

My question still remains from my post. Just not getting a positive win ratio with the deck for its intended purposes :-(

I'd have to guess that it's bad luck.  When this deck was created, there was no Butterfly Effect, no Neurotoxin, no Spine Carapace, and Skull Buckler was different -- but those are about the only things that have really changed. 

If you're really having that big of a problem, I'd suggest switching the Mark to :darknessmark and swapping in some Steals -- OR switching the mark to :lightmark and swapping in some Sanctuaries.  Both of those mods make the deck slightly more likely to deck out, but slightly more flexible in the number of threats it can stand up to.  By and large, though, given the amount of positive commentary, I think it's likely that it's just a rather unlikely streak of bad luck.

Good luck going forward with this!

Thanks.

I'll just try grinding it out again against the half bloods and see how things go then.

Quick Q. Why are the Aether Pendulum's there instead of the Aether Pillar? It seems that (esp if you add steal and the darkness mark) this isn't really adding anything.

Aether Pends are there for EQ protection when you're playing with an Aether mark. If you're playing the Darkness mark Steal variant, or the Light mark Sanctuary variant, you'll need to adjust the Pillar/Pend balance accordingly.

It's to prevent Earthquake from hitting you as hard.  If you have 2 Pillars and 1 Pendulum on the field, they both serve the same purpose, but if the AI uses 1 Earthquake then you're still left with quanta producers.

I see, thanks. Newbie and didn't even know about the earthquake card
