Need a Parka?

^Hm, not a bad idea, but seems to me like using that variation of the deck, +2 permafrost and -2 octopus would be better. octopus is very prone to being CCed, and is not very good with dealing with rushes especially early on. (congeal is not a cheap ability either, although that problem may be lessened by SoR on one octopus)

2 SoR'd octapii can shut down even the fastest decks in the game. 1 octapuss can shut down 4 critters on the opponents field.  Doesn't take much for a lockdown.

That's true, assuming that they come one at once, but overall it has very little damage potential, could be easily removed and eat up SoRs that could be used on steam machine, so permafrost may actually be the better option, since it already blocks 2 damage on top of freeze.

Steam machine builds up damage fast.  1 steam machine is plenty to kill most opponents.

Hm, I guess I'm just biased against SoR's, then. Never liked using 1 card buffs on fragile creatures, although when it comes to eternities or lobotomizers I guess their stats won't matter much. (Yep, I'm that guy who stalls like there is no tommorrow in pvp)

The deck started as a harm based around 6 SoR, so that makes them the backbone of the deck by default.  Octapii and machines happen to be the best uses of SoR, so hence this deck was born.

I came across Essence using this deck in T50. I was using the Healbow and I just barely won because he used all his SoR on his squids. The only reason why I won was because of Discord (came in pretty late). Anyway this deck was a huge pain, and if used by a human instead of an AI, I'm not looking foward to this deck in PvP, makes me feel good I don't PvP

Yeah I have a very high win rate in casual PvP with this deck.  Against 'normal' decks this thing is killer.  I've taken down the fastest fire rush, a buffed scarab bow, discord/black hole.  Unless they have mass CC or alternative damage, you have a shot.

After some testing, I removed 2 water tower for 2 SoG.

This has developed into a nice PvP deck.  I stopped Napalm's fire rush cold, and its quite quick.

Pun intended? 
I love this deck but I play it with more SOGs because I don't have that many SORs.

SoR? ???

[darkfrogger]

Yeah, whoops.

Great deck jmdt.

Im considering replacing a WaterT with a QT. 
No difference if u draw it in a late game, but it might be very helpful in early for SoRs.

Since the change to SoG, Purify seems like a strictly better defensive option for this deck.  Thoughts?
