Some nice ideas. Most of them will work great in my rainbow deck 

[imnd80]

hehe i'm sure they would, the idea behind these cards is to help mono decks though lol

[sillyking14]

how 'bout something like

Consolidate
card element: ???
cost: 5
card type: spell
effect: oponent loses 24 quanta (2 for each element) and gains 24 quanta in target element

[Forfeit]

Kinda like a reverse nova, I like the idea.

[sillyking14]

exactly its a reverse nova,

[Demongod]

The anti rainbow card already exists.

It's called quicksand.  Anybody who's played against Seism without protect artifact should know.

[sillyking14]

quicksand is not anti-rainbow, its anti elemental. were trying to think of cards that give a mono deck an advantage over  rainbow deck. or at least, thats what i understand this thread to be about

[Forfeit]

Well, if this is the case, we have the option to put a rainbow killing card in the 'other' element, or to add a element specific card into the ones that have most problems with rainbow.

Or an 'other' card with the limitation that you need 'x' amount of cards from the same element to play it.

[Uncle Jellyfish]

We could also look at the fact that many well built mono- and duo-decks can actually beat rainbow pretty regularly. o_O

[Forfeit]

They can, any we made decks pitted against each-other each have a chance of winning. Rainbow still has an advantage of a large card pool, less of a niche to conform to, and less things that can jst out-right make it topple.

I assure you, for half the elements right now I can think of some way to take them down, for the elemnts i've played, I can think of three major things just for one that would topple it. May you list a few viable stratagies against all rainbow deck, and all rainbow possabilitys are included in that, because its a lot easier to do that for ever mono and dou deck.

Quicksand is indeed anti-rainbow.  The reason is that some single colors can drop a few towers and drop a few critters and be well on its way (EG Light with photons, dark with devourers, fire with ash eaters).  Rainbow needs far more elements at all the right times.  If you take out the quantum towers, rainbow is in far more trouble.
