Scarab Deck Without Time Towers - Say What?

[mycale]

I would want to see screenshots of how you beat the FGs...

If you guys lost that much to False Gods, you clearly don't know how to play the deck. lol

Don't bash my deck just because YOU don't know what you're doing.

If I had a coin for every time someone said that...

It wins about 85% to False Gods.

Out of how many games?

I've seen this deck in PvP and it is very strong. I doubt that 85% is accurate, but I'll try in trainer.

I've tested it in the trainer, with 5 games vs FG's.
Lost all of 'm
SO that 85% is some bull honkey tonk.

I modded the deck slightly. Just dominated Osiris with a 9-turn win.

If you guys don't realize how to use the deck - once you get a pharaoh, spawn one scarab, use an SoR, spawn two more scarabs, use another, .... et cetera until you have like five scarabs. You can do this all on one turn.

Wait, you're saying that I can place a Mummy (one card, 3 quanta), then RT it (another card, 1 quanta more), and SoR it (dunno how much random quanta, 1-3, and a third card) in one turn or sth like that?? You'd need a couple of turns, and a crapload of luck only to do that by turn 3. Scorps/Chaos Power combo has bad draws, why this shouldn't?? Actually, that's the weakness of multi-elemental (non rainbow) decks, that and the fact that they rely in card combos (Mummy+RT+SoR). Not to mention that it's not THAT hard of not drawing EVEN A SINGLE RT by the time you're dead. Do the maths, that 85% is mathematically impossible.

[mesaprotector]

I'm not claiming 85% is accurate, but I wouldn't be surprised at 50%. Usually the combo is there by turn 3, and it's technically possible to get it at turn 1.

I know, I was just making my point clear... The combo can't be USUALLY by turn 3, and I'm yet to see how it could be played by turn 1 (if it can, remember that it's very probable it'll be one in a bazzillion of combinations between your cards). I'll start doing the maths now, but I've seen how a 6xScorps and 6xChaos Power deck haven't ever seen a CP'd scorp by turn 2 in a whole month of daily grinding (ya, I was that crazy before finishing school)

You don't even need scarabs to win, either. Mummies are capable of doing it themselves. It's just an added boost/bonus when you get to them.

If you go first, it's possible to have 4 scarabs on the first turn, or 8 by the second turn, depending on draws (although, of course highly unlikely). If you go second, it's possible to have 6 scarabs on the first turn or 9 on the 2nd. It's not very unlikely to have 2 out by turn 3 or 4 though. All you need for that is a Mummy, Nova, RT, and SoR, each of which I have 4 or more of.

@ mesaprotector: The idea behidn this back is that it doesn't need other than what you get from Novas due to SoR's. You could also argue that isn't needed in your deck for the same reason, but I've learned to rely on Momentum...and your deck is very limited on devouring (even with SoR's used on scarabs).

You're saying you can pwn FG's with just Mummies?? I dare you to show me a screenshot of that... Maybe that's not your point, but most of the last comments talk about FG's.

Tell me how it's possible to have 4 scarabs in the first turn please, because I don't get it... And having four copies is far from being enough to ensure you one copy of each on hand by turn one, do the maths... I think I'll do it now and post once I got it, but there's no way you can easily have a 3 card combo by turn 1 (also taking in account you need to draw quanta sources).

4 scarabs on turn 1 happens pretty often, though I use a better version of this deck. It's quite a fun concept in any case.
