FG Rainbow...that isn't killing FGs

[VayeDarkfire]

Can't tell if it my deck or my tactics, but some help would be awesome.  I am new to Elements, but NOT to ccgs as a whole.  (spent a lot of my life playing them all competitively so this is bothering me a LOT)  Right now it seems that all of my FG games come down to all luck when I win.  My win rate is somewhere around 5-10%.  I would like some help to maybe streamline this deck, or if there are any blatantly missing cards from a solid rainbow.  I know the Mindgate makes me Aether heavy, so I am considering dropping it, but I do prefer to make my opponent fight their own deck.

I am the kind of player that likes tempo control, and card advantage scenarios.  So like I said, if there is anything seriously missing from the formula, let me know.

Using a deck that relies on making mutants, your Lava Golem and MP are a little off. I would get another Quint instead of the Mindgate.

-Minor Phonix
-Lava Golem
-Mindgate
+Permafrost Shield
+Pulverizer
+Rain of Fire

What the post above me said.
Try to make it 30 cards.
Advantage is nice but you wont have it until you get a combo going.

30 cards? It's an FG-bow, not an AI3 grinder . As long as you can pack some hourglasses and draw like crazy you won't have problems with it having 40-45 cards.

you need to accept that you will NEVER EVER EVER kill divine glory as a death based rainbow without destroying what makes you able to beat the rest of the FGs consistently

your deck needs shards of gratitude and to continue to upgrade cards.  one quint is not enough, you need 2 minimum

im not going to push you into playing my deck as the be-all end-all of FG farming, but hang in there.  its a great feeling to see your deck improve over time (heh, pun)  and turn into a fully upgraded and operational death star  8)

phoenix is a weak card, dimensional shield is questionable, and until you get shards to replace the feral bonds there will be gods you cannot beat

mindgate is fine, but if you stick with another hourglass you may see better results until you upgrade towers

the glaring weakness your deck has is no permafrost.  several wins are almost completely based on hiding behind that card.  the quantum is rough, but thats what all the sundials are for (assuming you didnt get boned with a 1 tower hand).  checkout my new deck thread for some ideas if you like, although the comparison to Can Haz Moar Drawz is unavoidable...theres only so many time+hourglass FG ideas to go around.  please PM me for more encouragement and feedback, you have a great grasp of game mechanics for so few upgrades

Thx for all the help guys, gonna try and get my permafrost shield. Took some of the other advice as well, we'll see how it works now.
