[group] The Elemental Engineers - Engineer's Workshop

So, I'll participate at the challenges ^^

While progressing I modify this post to add the other decks.


As for starters, here my (maybe not finished...) submission for the nymph challenge:

I tried to do a field lock combined with Day Traitors.
Steal because PC isn't rare and you don't want to have 23 Creatures against you...
Dragons for mid-game critters and "immune" against Reverse time. For the rest there's not much CC that destroys this dragon.
The rest is obvious choice I think.

Didn't have much time for this, still needs some fine tuning, but this is the idea.

my time to answer the mighty challenges!

for the nymph challenge, i didnt care, i wantz the gold, so every nymph went in! that didnt sound so good...

NYMPH GALORE! (ladies night) deck xD

the poseidon challenge was indeed challenging, due to the reduced amount of cards that actually go well with it. i concluded a  / duo was the way to go (the only way to imo ) and so i made this

FROZEN SEAS (and total lack of pillars)

now the 3 card limit for everything (because once again, i wantz the gold ) was interesting. quanta production, creatures and synergies all with odd numbers is strange to me LOL but i think i managed something... something o.O

as for the scarab deck, it was pretty straight forward as i already had something in mind, a very simple strategy and build (and surprisingly none of the banned cards are in my deck O.O) so here it is:

TWIN SCARABS (lamest name ever but whatever)

lulz only noted after i did it

i sincerely thought there wasnt much of a choice besides going for a SoP deck with poseidon plus decent stall

Basically, make nymphs on the opponents field then RT them until it's their entire deck and no longer have the quanta to play anything. Then NT your own pendulums to kill 'em off with time nymphs for the win. An early time nymph is also nice to get past a bad opening hand if necessary. Fun, and surprisingly effective.

1 Super Duper Scarab and it's all done 6 nom nom is enough to troll.

Spoiler for My Poseidon deck for the golden challenge:

I opted to go for a speedbow instead of full denial, as 4 Poseidons is enough denial in a deck.

Works against AI3, but is certainly not optimal.

Hello waterbow. A very nice-looking deck imo. 

First try: 9-turn EM against the rainbow AI3.

nice, many entries for the challenges! how to decide winners? i would assume the authors of the challenges would choose wich decks were the best by their own criteria i suppose?

Hmm, that could work. If so, then i will put the name of the challengers on each challenge.
But really, this is just for fun (and experience)

Here's my take on the scarab deck.

After tampering around with CP scarabs, heavy armor scarabs, blessed scarabs, TU scarabs, it all felt really hard to maintain due to the different elements needed in the deck. After staring a bit longer though, I happened upon a brilliant discovery. Scarabs were 3atk airborne creatures. Great for the SoFrepi combo, so I built flying furballs and used scarabs instead. Now you have a slight amount of CC as well. Problem is, scarabs are insanely fragile (moreso than deja vu), especially since swarm means their hp builds up slowly. If only it was element... Anyways, the precogs were put in since I had extra space, but they could be replaced for other cards such as arsenic, vampire dagger, heavy armor, blessing, another tower, or anything that doesn't cost more than 3 of any element.

EDIT: after looking around, it seems scarabs love adren

Do you get nom noms often or dejas + unstoppable are better than scarabs?
