Hi everyone,

I'm quite new in this game. After a bunch of games, I attached myself on "rainbow" since I found it more funny.
I now have the following deck, which I find both effective and pleasent to play.

Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
4vd 4vh 4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 52q 562 5c1 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5fc 5fc 5fc 5fc 5if 5l9 5l9 5l9 5l9 5le 5og 5rh 5up 6u6 77g 8pj

(with mark of entropy)

Could you indicate me :
- If this is an interesting deck
- In which way i should improve him (card replacement when upgrads come, etc)

Thanks so much
Avariel

Its a different type of the standard nova-immo rainbow.
1: I would recommend taking out the Guardian Angel, because it costs too much and the attack is too low.
2: Then I would remove steal, because it costs 4, and that is too high for this type of deck. It also takes away dark from the lycanthrope.
3: I'm not too sure about the fallen druid, but you can keep it if you want. Otherwise swap it for a precognition.
4: Take out Deja Vu. It's not good unupped. Also, swap Acceleration to Momentum. Acceleration won't work well because none you your creatures have high hp.
5: Switch Forest Spirit to Horned Frog. OR Take out Mind Flayer and add Thunderbolt. I personally prefer the second option.
4: Next, add another of immolation, and another Phoenix. This will give the deck more consistency.
5: Lastly, switch the 4 photons to sparks. sparks have higher attack, so they can be used as a burst of damage to finish an opponent off.
6: Now add either a blessing or relective shield. I perfer blessing, so I will add that.

So, after my modifications, it would look like:

As a general rule of thumb, in this type of deck, don't take anything above a cost of 2 or 3.

It looks like a really nice deck. There's a few problems though.

1. Fallen Druid competes for life quanta with Forest Spirit.
    Solution: Remove Fallen Druid. It doesn't help the deck much since there's nothing to mutate in this deck! You should be immolating the Photons, and everything else has a nice attack/skill. I'd add a chaos seed instead for some CC, or a Discord if you have one. Discord is immensely useful if you get it out early as it can stall for up to 3-4 turns by itself.

2. Too many novas. You're producing enough quanta with immos and novas supporting the "off" elements. I suggest -1 or 2 novas, and replace them with either some QTs for stability.

3. Acceleration. You really only have 1 nice target for acceleration and that'd be the buffed lycan. I suggest replacing it with Momentum. Momentum is nice because you can let your cards ignore shields. Some (like Fire Buckler) can cripple your deck, but with momentum, you could save your main card.

4. Lycan competes for darkness quanta with steal. I recommend taking deflagration instead of steal.

5. Guardian Angel. I see why you take it, but it really is very situational. You'd be better off taking a blessing because blessing gives a nice attack boost as well as an hp boost it especially synergizes with Deja Vu.

My final suggested deck would look something like:

Hey Avariel and welcome to Elements!  This is definitely an interesting deck.  Although I'm not quite sure what you are wanting to accomplish with it.  With the entropy mark this gives you an opportunity to use more entropy throughout the game.  To be honest this makes the phoenixes look out of place.  With this ammount of entropy available for use I think discord, or a focus on maxwell's demon might be a good plan.  Since you have maxwell's demon in already lets focus on that.  To make the key card lets include multiples, three should do.  Now how to make the most use of his ability, infection comes to mind.  Parasite - cheap and fast but low hp; Toadfish - expensive but good stats.  Some other cards we can consider to help us here Thunderstorm, Owl's Eye, Plague, and Rain of Fire.  With nova its best to use lower cost cards that we can play earlier if needed.  I think this is going more of control route so we should get a decent shield, perhaps fog shield.  While we are using entropy I think butterfly effect is too high cost for this deck so you should add some deflagration to help against troublesome shields or weapons.  Hope this helps our inspires you to make your own improvements!
