Question: is it allowed to submit a deck / similar version of the deck that's already been posted to some other competition?

8. You may not submit a deck to any FG Deck Competition if it has already been submitted to a previous competition.

The year is 1984.  Here on Airstrip One, there is only one thing of import, that is the State.  You have no voice; Big Brother silences everyone.  You cannot hide your thoughts; Big Brother reads your mind.  If you commit a thoughtcrime, Big Brother will lobotomize you.  If you try to fight back; you will be neutralized and reintegrated into the system for the good of the State.  Big Brother never lets his defenses down.  You are stuck in an eternal age of mental darkness and repression.  Welcome to Oceania.

113-word description
Since most everyone else is going for a medieval Dark Ages theme, I decided to go in a different vein.  This one is based off of Orwell's mentally repressive society and in particular, the Thought Police.  With all the Mindgates, the FG uses the player's deck against him.  He also uses cards like Phase Shields, Silence, and Purple Nymph to buy him time to setup.  Supernovas power everything gotten from Mindgate until whatever quanta producers in the player's deck can be gotten.  Dragons are there as backup damage.  It can be a little slow to setup, but the double draw will help.  Once this deck gets going, it can be hard to overcome.

Disease creeps through and steals the lives of many, leaving nothing behind but skeletons. And as it stays unchecked, it continues to spread, eventually taking control of everything. Then, there is nothing left but to put in your faith, and hope... for a miracle.

I decided soon after it came out that I really did like the new Solar Buckler, and I instantly understood the amazing synergy with Aflatoxin. With the reliable 3x Mark that comes with FGs, they can be used to make a quicker start than in player's decks.

A quick breakdown of the cards in the deck:

Bone Towers supply .

Solar Bucklers and the triple mark are the main sources of generation, as well as some RoLs as an alternative.

Light Dragons are the main attackers. They are quite solid and do a good amount of damage.

Death Nymphs serve a duo purpose with Aflatoxin. They serve as reusable, powerful CC, as well as fueling Solar Buckler to gain large amounts of quick .

Light Nymphs also serve a duo purpose, they turn your creatures into light emitters, giving even more quanta, and provide stall.

Graveyards use the Nymph's CC to generate tokens as alternative damage. Skeletons can also be used as tokens for Luciferin to take effect.

Miracle provides the main stall in the deck, making it quite difficult to pierce through the god's defences.

Hope comes in later, and supplies an indestructable damage reduction shield, providing more stall, and taking advantage of Luciferin.

Morning Glory is also indestructable, and is used to fill the weapon slot, giving another source of damage.

Amargor: (noun, Spanish)  bitterness, sorrow, vexation.

Amargor was born from the gnawing despair of the world.   As disease and disorder reign supreme across the land, the Golden Age of Wonder is long past, but not forgotten.  It now serves as a bitter memory in this age of wither and decay.  The knowledge and splendor of times past are lost, perhaps forever--the only certainties in the Dark Ages are hardship, cruelty and death.  And with each passing soul, Amargor's power grows.


This deck uses 5 of the "new" cards (Deathstalker, Soul catcher, Schrodinger's Cat, Butterfly Effect, Pandemonium) and 1 rare (Discord.) 

Death and Entropy are natural choices for the theme "Dark Ages" as they entail dying and decay. 
With the 3x Death mark, relatively low cost of cards, and Schrodinger Cat/Soul Catcher combo this deck should get damage out early and keep building.
Deathstalkers are good for a poison splash and give Otyugh's indigestion.  Chaos power either powers deathstalkers or toughens up the cats/condors--either way, a good deal.
Bonewalls + SC make it tough to whittle down 200 hp without creature spam or momentum.
Lots of CC and some PC: beatable, but with bonus deck draws, growing condors, poison and dragons, you probably need a good opening hand and some luck.

Herald the Serf spent most his days wallowing in the filth surrounding his lord's estate.  The majority of his conversations were had with wandering insects drudged up by the all too familiar rainfall.  The storms were so frequent that hardly an herb would grow upon his designated fields, much to the displeasure of his supervising council.  He and his fellow serfs burdened the majority of the blame for such woeful inadequate production and were punished by a reduction of their predetermined share of provisions.  Herald knew this was wrong, but at the time was powerless, his voice would not be heard, the council had their minds steadfastly set, what is and what should always be.  As long as the persons in charge liked their lives as they were, Herald and his fellow man would struggle for survival.  Desperate for aid, Herald ventured out to the neighboring forbidden cliffs, the realm of the behemoths, in hopes to convince them to aid he and the rest of his lower class folk in talking sense to their ruling regime.  On the path just outside the most remote village of the kingdom, he encountered a dragon cub, teetering on the brink of death.  Herald believed if he were to aid the cub in recovery and return, it may be just what he needs to get the dragon-folk to act on his behalf.  That was the last anyone had heard of Herald the Serf, until today...

   In a time of war where nothing matters but the bloodshed of the enemy, one group of warriors rose up and took hold of the untamed sky. With their trusty Pegasus they flew up and over the battlefield and dominated. With their bows in hand they tamed the creatures of the sky and rained down misery onto the enemy. Their catapults and trebuchets could not reach the heights they could fly, and the magic was so scarce in these days it was never a worry.

   As the battle raged on, the enemy grew smarter in their tactics. Their attacks game slower but more precise as the creatures of the sky would come within range to attack. Our group of Sky Warriors had to devise new strategies. one of them came up with the idea of using great speeds from high above to quickly attack the enemy. Their blitzing proved effective and not long after the enemy fell. When the Sky Warriors returned to their home they were treated as gods for their heroic acts and winning the war.

He's insane. He's a murderer. He's a king. He's insane, he really is. And also his wife is insane.
They're insane, they were told he was going to be king by some witches. They see blood. They see ghosts. They see abominations.
No born by elemental can harm MacBeth.

MacBeth is evil. But he is because he went insane. What's more insane than mutants? His wife helps him, trying to cloak his insanity. But she's not so effective, their cover can be pulverized.

What's darker than a king that makes his way with betrayal and murder?

All hail, Macbeth! that shalt be king hereafter.
