An interesting deck, I tried it out and it really does what it says on the tin "kills HBs. Dead."  One question though, is there any means to increase the chance of obtaining an EM victory?

any means to increase the chance of obtaining an EM victory?

There are ways, but they may affect to the consistency of the deck.


If you play correctly and have some luck, you can get ~30% EM with the original. The trick is to let opponent get some creatures (3-4) to table and then use Antim. to the last attacking creatures. Then those will heal you before your turn starts and you'll get EM. There's also another way by exploiting "poison+antimatter" bug, but that would be kind of cheating...

Forgot this before, don't have any

Yay! Just got my first Rage-Quit experience with playing this deck on PvP2. Poor little Mono Adrenaline-Rusher didn't like it when I first pulled Turtle Shield/Eternity combo to control board, and then I Antimattered his Dragon. 

I've lost only 1 PvP2 game with this deck so far (but I've played only ~10). It was against Poison with Chrysaora being the only creature I saw, so getting multiple Antimatters didn't really help much in that game.

Is this still a viable deck in v1.26?
I don't have all the necessary cards and I know it's better to get an upgraded deck for FG farming first, but I was just wondering if somebody have tested this deck unupgraded, with only the key cards upgraded (like SoG)?

Thanks

If you check it you can see upgrades mean lower costs. But - yes you are right - shards need to upgrade, secondly chaos seed to CP (unless your scorp could die), animate weapon (you don't have water quanta to cast it)
Pandemonium is good in unupgraded, but your creatures can die (no problem) or change side (big problem) so be carefull.

Basic rule: firstly upgrade pillars to speed up your deck.

Creatures do not change side. They are PU'ed. It is always in favour of the player who plays pandemonium. It is therefore not a problem.

Remember that Chaos Seed =/= Chaos Power

Chaos Seed inflicts one of the following effects : Drain Life, Fire Bolt, Freeze, Gravity Pull, Ice Bolt, Infection, Lightning, Lobotomize, Parallel Universe, Reverse Time, Shockwave, Sniper.

Chaos Power :
Attack bonus ranges from 1 to 5
Health bonus ranges from 1 to 5

That card MUST BE upgraded to be of any use in this deck. If you don't have that card upped, you can't use this duo version of Dune Scorpion.

On sidenote,
Behold, another tweaked version, now coming with some FG-grinding stats and whatnot:
