1) play dune(s)
2) cast mitosis on dune
3) cast SoR on mito-dune
4) cast SoP

Add some novas?For what?
Thinking about it a bit, I think i would make a trio with death stalkers, as a single neurotoxic touch is enough.

IDK, maybe, just maybe, for the 12 shards?Add some novas?For what?

Adding death stalkers will only make it slower, since you can't really mito-deathstalker like you can mito-sor-dune

I tried several times to use SoP with dune scorpions and found it was not very efficient..
Also it seems the quanta will be a little stressed with the shards.

Technically, it's not a duo, SoP is watermark :)Technically, it is, because SoP is other and other doesn't count as an element

I'm not gonna add deathstalkers as well as nova's because I would need more quanta for deathstalkers (deathstalkers don't generate 2 new ones with SoR and dunes do and that makes the poison equal) ,and most of the time you'll have 1 pend and that's enough so nova's aren't needed.
In both cases it would become a trio

very interesting deck , was wondering first how to boost the scorpion :) very interesting use of shard of patience ( finally ) and of shard of readiness. I suppose a little sensible to shields ... althought a few SOP should overcome that.Yes it is but the opponent doesn't play out shield in much cases if You don't have creatures
But still shields and cards like armagio can be a pain

Add SoGs.
Post by: rickerd on January 04, 2012, 10:32:45 am
Huh, how haven't I thought of this suggestion before?Instead of what?
Add SoGs.
It already has less quanta

Well, I was thinking something like this:Hey Patch, I know you already know it but you are pro.
Although, I think that version is a bit tight on :time
Post by: Pineapple on January 04, 2012, 01:49:04 pm
I was just bumping the thread with my version in hopes that a real "pro" can come and make the original deck actually competitive. ;)
Post by: rickerd on January 04, 2012, 05:37:15 pm
Haha...I'm sure you and rickerd could tweak it to be better. There are many problems in that deck that you don't have to worry about in the original deck, mainly getting the combo cards all lined up. About it being tight on Time, you really only need to use 1 hourglass to draw through your deck at an acceptable rate; the others can remain in your hand until extra quanta arrives.Still going for nova I see ;)

I would do -1 hourglass, -1 time tower and - 1 SoR to make it 30 cards

Hourglasses make you draw another card. So it's not that bad really.
At the decks and their variations, I think they're quite interesting (and a use for SoP!) I'm testing a version with some extra nova's and a few other cards (Instead of SoG adding a Explosion, etc. Even Quint, which helps due to the RT weakness of this deck.) Doing okay, but the deck in the OP is better in terms of speed.. I think.

I saw someone mention throwing in deathstalkers, so I tried to make a deck with them but it wasn't working. Instead I made a mito-deathstalker deck and it works pretty well :DA fact is that the first hit is critical for neurotoxic poison, when a 2 damage shield can slow the mito death stalcker a lot (up to the 3rd SoP).
Post by: Gocubbies1212 on January 04, 2012, 09:07:51 pm
ahh, yes that makes good sense. But then you pretty much waste a SoP on giving only 1 scorpion the attack he needs to deal poison damage... and you don't always know when the next SoP will come up.I saw someone mention throwing in deathstalkers, so I tried to make a deck with them but it wasn't working.

Hey Patch, I know you already know it but you are pro.
Only 4 scorps in a poison deck? no, thanks.So patch makes a 33 cards deck with 4 scorps and is a genius. rick slims it down taking out no scorpions and all of a sudden there are too few scorpions? Way to be biased.
OT: The deck seems really great and fun, nice invention sir.

Yeah but then you would need to play another SoP every time you get ~5 more scorpions out I'm not saying that it isn't the best option for a dune scorpion deck... I'm just pointing out one of the downfalls :Dahh, yes that makes good sense.

the shards would hurt the quanta. I really think you should consider -1SoP +1nova.SoP only takes 1 random quanta!
And it's the only buff card, so I don't really think taking out more is a good solution.
