Oracle : Akebono

Long before furball X)

LOL Nymph Queen pet with the Nymphs Tears deck!

Worked like a charm, didn't have to use a single nymph tears :p

[Fosius]

Managed to win twice in a row with the unupped deck, even though the second time he got out 3 shards and stole a few towers before I could get a shadow nymph to vampire them


Pretty good, will use again.

Received an upgraded overdrive from it too.

[pulli23]

uh, how to win when akebono starts wtih 4 shards & weapon then?

Should we add some PA to the original deck?

The deck isn't meant to win 100% of the time, but it's supposed to win more than any other deck. PA would slow the main strategy and Akebono usually won't start with 4 Sofo. Also some Sofo can be stopped with Liquid Shadow.

After using Bucky's Hourglass 1 and Only FG deck, I got a taste for beating up Akebono with his own creatures, so I gave this deck a whirl.  It is less consistent than the Nymph's Tears deck with no realistic chance for an EM, but it is a fun, rareless alternative; I like to hear the big creatures go "thump".

Once I started keeping track, it went 10-5 in the trainer with the losses coming from one bad draw on my part (just 1 pillar), Akebono not playing an Overdrive thrice, and once Akebono playing his Overdrive late enough that Titan and Chimera sealed my fate.

Tips:
The lack of healing means an early Titan or sudden Chimera will keep the game short, so do not plan on ye olde Dim Shield stall; start them fairly early.
Do not leave a creature with Overdrive on the board for long even when hiding behind a Dim Shield.  My first experiment was with Basilisk Blood, and there were way too many "thumps" from Chimera.  He could also surprise you with an Unstoppable.  It is best not to risk it.
You may have to bounce an Armagio if his skill has been activated and you need damage quickly.  It takes two turns to play and activate an Armagio and two turns to build up the quantum to Reverse Time.  Serendipitous!

I think that is enough rambling from me.  Critiques and suggestions are welcome, and happy hunting.

Terrible deck, not enough aether quanta to put dim shields and use parallel universe, you well get killed by Titan

I was getting kind of bored with the standard deck, so I went with a partially upped version of Eva's sundial deck:

Easy EM, no cards. An upped SoFo would have been nice...

Inspired by this thread, I EMed Akebono with this deck:

(those are simply all the upgraded cards I have available for this type of deck)
I didn't even get to use the purple nymphs, but the black nymph was pretty much essential.
Cheers!

[Higurashi]

Welp, that was easy.

Nymphs are needed though (unless you get lucky), and try to play a Dragon first. Don't want the Nymphs OD'd.

2-0

^As of today, this kicked serious ass. Thanks a lot Higs ♥

[Rutarete]

^ Too easy Thanks Higs!

Wish I read the whole thread beforehand, just got my... butt kicked using the unupped nymph thing
