I started playing the same way until I read SG's rainbow deck thread and realized that bigger is not always better in a FG killer deck.
If you are going to play a larger deck you need more hourglasses and shields/sundials to increase your drawing power and to keep you alive long enough until you hit critical mass.
I would sell your shard of divinity and upgrade your Otyugh, as the shard is really a cheap version of heal, although with miracle it would count as 2 heals, but still rather useless in my humble opinion.  Lose the plate armor, fire shield, 1 bone yard, 1 FFQ, sell the Chaos Power and upgrade an hourglass and lose a fractal.  That is for starters.  I know you cannot upgrade the oty and the hourglass for the same as you sell the other 2 cards, but with anything extra you have do that.  Also you will need to add 2 or 3 quints.  Ideally for 1 oty, druid and FFQ.
Hope this helps a bit.

Very good advice so far.

Actually selling the SoD may hurt a bit for the moment especially since you already payed 1,5k for it, however you will probably not really need it for building decks for a longer time and it really doesn't help all that much in a rainbow ... thinking about it, you should probably just keep it even if it's not in the deck atm. ;-)

However, I would definately sell the Dissipation field too, so along with ChaosPower that would make 2200 elecs to up that Oty. Diss.field isn't going to help you anything since either you play it early to survive and get sucked dry quantum-wise (so you still dont survive) or you made it till the late-game and it's just a fun addition because if  you made it this far, would probably win anyways.

Also, those two fractals really do seem kind of random in there as do the novas ... take them all out, add another dim-shield and/or another Bonewall and/or an Iceshield and see what happens.

In addition to what has been said, when you drop out the novas, I'd consider replacing them with 1 Quantum Pillar and 4 Sundials.

hi. here is what i would do. take it or leave it.

remove chaos power.
remove 5 pillars.
remove 1-2 nova.
remove both fractals.
remove dimensional shields.
remove the hourglasses.
remove fire shield.
remove dissapation field.
remove SoD

add 2-3 quitntessence
add 1-2 rain of fire.
add 1 ice shield.
add 2-3 SoG

-why? chaos power is unrelyable.
-15 pillars with 5 novas is too much.
-fractals is pointless.... what you gun do? fractals skeletons?
-dim shields are good, but without quint's, your creatures are open to ALOT of SHIZ
-hourglasses, while cool, are unnecessary. if you keep em, fine, but only 1 MAYBE 2.
-fire shield is not as effective as rain of fire imo. and ice shield is better when your facing -someone with a 12/9. not getting 12 dmg 4 turn in a row is better than ending up with 48 dmg and a 12/4.
-disappation field... while its good. it is counterproductive to your deck. youd be lose'n the qunta you need to get things going.
-sod remove... only to put in another SoG. putting 3-4 of these out for 20 hp every turn, is better than a initial 20 hp increase/heal.


yes your deck is now alot smaller. but guess what, now youll get things when you need them, not when you have 7 cards left in your deck.


like i said. take, or leave.

holler.

thanks everyone for the advice it all sounds good and makes sense i will try each one out and let you know how it works. Thanks again!

My advice:


- 3 Hourglasses are OK (or too little) for a 50 card rainbow. You need one early in the game, and you have a time mark for that.
Upgrade them.
- Upgrade Otys and Novas
- Aether is used too much. Replace Dim.Shields or Fractals.
- You need Shields or Sundials.
- Quintessence is always a good idea to protect key cards (FFG,Druid, Otys).
- Dissipation Shield can give you Elementary Masteries in combination with SoGs in the late game.
- I think SoG is the better shard against Gods without permanent control.
- A fallen elf for offensive use ?
- The upgrades you made are interesting upgrades in the game (thats my opinion) so choose wisely if you want to sell them.
