Preliminary strategy and possible decks

[pervepic]

No, those cards (reflective shield, emerald shield) are too weak and conditional.  Let's try to take more universal and more overpowered cards. We have some decent decks against  and something against  too, so I guess there is no big need for them. What worries me is that we don't have anything normal against  yet; I probably have to give up the idea of my deck 8 because we don't have enought Dragons and because this deck is dubious anyway. And Wyrms are just terrible, they are not normal replacements for Dragons. Brr, because of the lack of normal hitters, I'm starting to think about the third duo with  already...

I also edited my deck 7 and took out Wyrms from there. And I modified deck 14, took away some rarity-dragons from there.

Testing out this deck right now. Quantum comes a bit slow, but really picks up. Mainly designed for anti Hope.
Any suggestions appreciated.

We're one of the elements that I don't think really needs to worry about RoL/Hope. We have so much CC that it shouldn't usually be an issue.

The idea behind the mirror shield was basically if we have 1 or 2 it is a threat that may use it (not that we necessarily would) but I understand it being too situational.  I had an idea about something with maxwells demon and thunderstorms against  , or anybody that tries to rush but I'm not sure it would be feasible unupped because it might take too long to get going.  The idea is that rush decks use cards with either even Atk/HP or higher attack and the thunderstorms can take the evens down.  Another thing we may want to throw in momentums if we are expecting to be up against a lot of phase shields.  They could be thrown in an all air deck and played just off the mark.

Yep, I thought about Maxwells too. They could make good combos with the Wings and kill some Dragons ( ,  ,  ,  ,  for example). Besides,  has so many annoying cards (early Discords and Antimatters can often alone decide the result of the game), so it is definitely a good idea. About Thunderstorms - actually I found that only against  Dragons it could have some effect (along with Maxwells), so it seems like too specific tactics and thing to consider.

Actually it seems like we almost have enough decks by now.  If they are good enough, we should just double them and/or take backup cards to the Vault. Still some testing is necessary though.

Here is a possible Maxwell-Wings deck:

We have 33 cards still available.  We could even have more if we do well in the propaganda.  We could build one more whole deck, double a deck, or add some flex cards.  I think holy lights would not be a bad idea to add because of all the fireflies and queens we have, they wreck darkness and death and can otherwise be used in a FF/FFQ fir emergency healing.  Unstable gas has been suggested, might work well against  because of their powerful shields.  As Pervepic said earlier some black holes will be nice for team rainbow when they come in and entropy if they run novas.  We could definitely use some more deflags, they can run off upped fireflies in a deck that Pervepic uses plus it will be something good to have extra for later if we start losing cards.  I think our starting card advantage is going to help a lot because it gives us many different options for decks.  Any more suggestions?  We can almost fill out our vault other than maybe some deck testing to make minor suggestions to our current decks.

I'd like to reevaluate some of the cards that we're taking. Sometime tomorrow I'll go through and evaluate the decks.

In other news, I just won the Eastern weekly. Should I take an air nymph for my prize? If I do, we should add one of those.

Thank you, we are going to need some hardcore reevaluation before we actually choose those. If any of those decks looks "softy" and not evil enough, we can just throw it away and take backup cards for the better deck. But still, it is good to have diversity there.


About the Nymph - I don't know, do anyone else have that too? I have one. I guess you can take it then (if you like it of course) and we will add her to the Vault. She can substitute a Dargon sometimes.

Yes, I agree about Deflags. Not sure how dangerous that team rainbow is, but just in case, let's have Black Holes too. I haven't  tested Holy Lights yet.

[Istari.]

I suggest we get a least a few shockwaves and thunderstorms for CC

[Dogg]

I really like the idea of being able to use holy lights against death and darkness.

[Klaymore]

Yeah I like the Holy Light too !
About the  Nymph it is the 1st I got but I didn't knew about these events and upgraded it : P
What about taking some  cards ? Thinking about Toadfish especially but I'm not sure a  /  deck would be that great..

Trying a bit with it, came up with something that might be quite strong CC deck: maybe against  /    ?
