Alright thanks guys. Just to make sure I understand correctly, I can use non-upgraded cards in Scaredgirl's basic rainbow and be successful? I doubt I'd be going against any gods, but I should be fine against level 3 AI?

So I started with a time mark and built up a rainbow deck as fast as I could. I just broke 500 points, so now I'm wondering how I can fine tune my deck to improve my success rate vs the level three AI. Right now my  deck (53 cards) looks like this:

Quantum Pillar x21
Time Factory x3
Lycanthrope
Procrastination
Otyugh x5
Golden Hourglass
Plate Armor
Anubis
Forest Spirit
Eternity
Empathic Bond
Sundial x4
Fire Spirit
Devour
Lava Golem
Dusk Mantle
Blessing x2
Steal x2

I have a little over 600 coins, so buying regular cards won't be a problem. Any and all suggestions are welcome.

Well, yes, her last deck on the list is unupgraded, but most of those work unupgraded. As for AI3, the rainbow deck will be quite slow, and you'd probably be better off fighting Fake Gods. If you want, I could link you to some faster 30 card rainbow decks, that can be used for farming AI3 and Top 50, and are much, much faster than the huge rainbow decks you see in that link.
Ya, that would be great actually. Just take into consideration that I won't have any upgraded cards for awhile.

Is this one good unupgraded? http://elementstheforum.smfforfree3.com/index.php/topic,469.0.html

So I went ahead and used this version without upgrades. The only difference is I added in a boneyard and a graboid. I've had a 100% win rate (I'll guess around 50 matches) against the third level AI except for one time where I forgot to use eternity to keep from decking out. I'd say at least 1/4 of the matches were with perfect health.

I tried battling the false gods a couple times, but I'm no match... it keeps pitting me against the time one (I don't know the names).

Time FG is Rainbow and by far the worst of the bunch...

Unupgraded with Scaredgirl's deck you should be able to win 30-40% of the time. Your percentage will improve as you learn the strategies for each of the individual gods. The major benefit to fighting them is you win upgraded cards in the spinners, which sell for ~1100 coins- most of what you need to pay for an upgrade of your choice.

You're right. How could i forget Seism? Maybe because I fear the earthquakes too much until I finally draw my protect artifact!

The guide Jellyfish linked you to is probably your best bet. I think it's the only rainbow on the forums that's been decently successful unupgraded.

Just a few of my own notes:
You need more defense. Sundials (should have 6), Dimensional Shields, Bone Walls, and Empathic Bonds fall into this category.

You don't need that many Otys. 3 is a good number for your size of deck.

You should have 3-4 Hourglasses for you size of deck.

Get a couple Rain of Fire. It's amazing for creature control and building Bone Walls.

Get a couple ffqs, Boneyards, and at least one Fallen Elf. You can can combo these to make armies of mutants with crazy-useful abilities. Boneyards also combo well with RoF.

Eternity is a good weapon and a great addition to a smaller rainbow deck (<40 cards) because you can prevent yourself from decking out. In your case, you shouldn't need it. Pulverizer is the ideal weapon, but both Owl's Eye and Lobotomizer are useful.

lol so frustrating. I got my rainbow deck finally. and hit hit with a miracle opponent. I eneded up running out of cards and loosing because everytime i was about to win he'd miracle himself.

I actually had so many creatures down I couldn't summon new ones and my otyugh had something like 25 attack lol. I was going about 80 damage per turn. damn those miracle cards! anyway to stop them?

All you need to do is stop drawing multiple cards when you have about 25 left in your deck.

It might be Seism too. They both have Mark of Time x3, right? o-o
