Even if it is early game and you get this out,
Again, the upgraded version costs 6
. That's only 1
more than a Bonewall. It's really not that difficult to get that much quanta, even with a rainbow deck. 2 Supernovas and 3 Quantum Towers can get that much in no time.
and by some great length you've survived long enough for them to have a full field and SIX Empathic Bonds out
Have you seen how Ferox and Fire Queen play? Just before, I was playing Fire Queen. She started off by placing a couple of Queens onto the playing field and some Towers, including 3
Towers. However, she did not start producing fireflies; instead, she placed down Empathic Bonds every turn, using up all her
quanta, rather than producing flies.
The point is, it's not that difficult for some of these gods to lay down Bonds like there's no tomorrow. Additionally, Rainbow decks EXCEL at stalling. You mentioned that it's hard to do damage with them until late game; this is true. However, what with Phase Shields, Sundials, Permafrost Shields, Eternity, SoG, SoD, Miracle, Antimatter, Empathic Bond, and other elements of stalling/healing, it's really not too difficult to wait out Gods until they have massive healing going on.
If the creatures on your field are dealing ~60 damage
Quinted Lava Golem.
Twin Universe.
Fractal.
It's really not that difficult to rack up that much damage with a specialized rainbow deck.
My point being, all this would do is make certain FGs easier situationally.
This I agree with.
