SoP Uses

[AnimationX]

So SoP. Another underused card. Lately I've been thinking of ways to use it effectively. (Since arena spins gave me six.)
Adrenaline has already been thought of, so I thought, why not Chimera?
Chimera allows the delay to be bypassed, and when you think of Chimeras, you think of OHKOs. So I created a deck...only to realize it was like a 10+ card combo, making it extremely difficult to get the combo out.
So anyone else got any ideas for SoP?

Hey, another elementalist trying to find uses for SoP! People have tried mono-water and scorpion decks with them, but in almost all cases there are better options. Another idea is the deck I posted here: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,36261.0.html which isn't too bad, but is very slow.

I think I posted an SoP-Chimera deck somewhere as well, it was even less reliable.

-Any 0/x creature that gets a large benefit from +attack, like Vanadium Warden, Dune Scorpion, Deathstalker
-As a counter to Shard of Sacrifice or Sundial
-Two words: Fractal Physalia
-Two more words: Fractal Pest (Eclipse and SoP will stack)
-Chimera (as you mentioned, that gets around the delay)
-Adrenaline (also gets around delay, as you said, maybe in adrenavampires or adrenastaves?)

That's about all I've got.  Maybe in decks like RoL/Hope to get around 1 damage reduction shields?  There aren't a lot of uses for it, sadly.

i messed around with a chimera based speedbow. sop is kind of ok ish if you draw it late. good sosa counter too.

edit: no dragon travelled an hour and a half back in time and ninja'd me

Fractal pest works well with SoP because they still steal quanta when delayed.

The trouble with any fractal combination is that if you get the SoP early, it clogs your hand for the fractaling, so the success requires the SoPs to be all bottom-decked. However, mitosis based replication can work, e.g. I would call the following deck "patient mitosora"

Note: Shards are Shard of Patience, of course

Sorry for the partial upp state, I only had so many of these cards upped. I tried it out works OK against AI3, probably too slow for more serious opponents.

I like SoP though I still only have one
