I made this deck in the trainer to deal with HBs, because what I've found on here for HB decks either seem old and ineffective, or I'm far away from getting the needed cards to make them.

I started with lots of shields and healing cards to stall the HBs, but that didn't work too well, and so I moved my focus to the dissipation field for defense and firefly queen/pharaoh for creatures as they can make more creatures which add quanta and provide creature control.  I 've played about 10 games with deck in the trainer against HBs and only lost twice, once due to not getting towers fast enough and the other from facing a momentum heavy opponent.

I know that down the road my win/loss ratio will be much worse, but I kinda feel like I have something here.  There are some things I'm not sure about though.  Such as the poisons, bonewall, mitosis, having 2 firefly queens and pharaohs, and the turquoise nymph. 

The turquoise nymph seems useless to me, but I don't know what to replace it with.  The poisons are nice but I seem to use them more to avoid discarding a card than playing them out of need, and bonewall I really only use when transitioning from the diamond shield to the dissipation field when there are heavy hitters in play.

I like having the mitosis cards as they can speed up my scarab and firefly production, but I wonder if feral bonds would be better.  And I also wonder if I should drop a firefly queen or pharaoh(or 1 of both) for another electrum hourglass.

Appreciate any help you guys can offer.

Poison are useless, you should play 6 hourgalsses also add 1/2 quintessence to you deck and you need reusable good cards as otyugh pulveriser or maxwell demon

2nd version, I like it but I've had more than enough hourglasses.  I may try knocking 2 off and 3 pillars to get the deck down to 45 cards and see how that works.

So I felt confident enough to move on from the trainer to my real game, and after some tweaking, I really like this deck:

Played about 10 games with a similar deck(+1 hourglass -1 QT) and won 7.  Moved to my real deck and went with whats above, since I dont have any more upped hourglasses.  Changed the pharaoh to the nymph since I felt I wasn't using the scarabs since I added in the otyugh and it adds precog + a card.  played another 10 games so far, lost 2, one I shouldnt have lost but I forgot to quint my otyugh.

Poison, rushes, and high damage cards seem to be my only worries so far.  And once I get up and running with my dissipation field, its just the posion to watch out for.  So if I get setup without wasting my miracle early I'm pretty well set.

I may still trade out a mitosis for a feral bond as well.

Thanks for the advice on the otyugh, quints, and pulverizer Ralouf.
