Alrighty, so, i`d really like to clean up my deck a bit, so I`m posting it again

52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52s 52s 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5c1 5c1 5c1 5c6 5c6 5c6 5c6 5c6 5i4 5i4 5i4 5i5 5i5 5i5 5i5 5i5 5i5 7ak

That`s

6 bone pillars
2 aflatoxins
6 emerald pillars
3 forest spirits
Emerald Shield
4 Empathic Bonds
3 Sapphire Pillars
6 Chrysaora

mark of  :water

My immediate thought is to take out the spirits for cockatrices, and then the sapphire pillars and chryasaora`s for poisons and some other death or life cards, or to take the chryasaora`s for puffer fishes with adrenaline

Let me know what you think could be done.

I think you're trying to do too much in this deck...either stick with a  :life/ :death duo or a  :life/ :water duo...imo, trios that aren't more like rainbows and that are unupped don't work so good, so I dont think that Chrysaoras really fit into a :life deck (although they fit quite nicely into a :water/ :death)...

Anyways, I think you should stick with either :life/ :death...maybe something like this:

Code: [Select]
52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52q 52q 52s 52s 52s 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bt 5bt 5bt 5bt 5bt 5c4 5c4 5c4
or do a :life/ :water grow deck something like this:

Code: [Select]
5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5c1 5c1 5c1 5c1 5c1 5c1 5c2 5c2 5i4 5i4 5i4 5i4 5i4 5i4 5i4 5i7 5i7 5i8 5i8 5ia 5ig 5ig 5ig
(you can change up the :water cards... i think that's too many nymphs tears, you can add some squids or whatever you want)

Adrenaline Pufferfish is a viable option, however it was nerfed so that it only poisons twice...you could try that though if you want

That doesn't cover the whole point of the deck though

The massive amounts of healing from Aflatoxin and empathic bond.

Chrysaora's in there to throw down some poison, and to take advantage of the need for water for the spirits.

The best thing I can think of is a malignant cell + emphatic bond deck.  Throw in adrenaline to make it faster, a jade shield or a bonewall, and skeletons/plauges to hit with your toxin.

How does adrenaline help?

Put adrenaline on a cell, and it'll produce four cells, thus making the lock down four times faster.

Never thought of that.

Any suggestion for a deck?

Well, it won't win against AI3 because AI3 has thick decks, but a PVP deck should be easy enough to make.
Code: [Select]
52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52i 52i 52i 52i 52i 52i 52s 52s 52s 52s 52s 52s 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5bs 5c4 5c4 5c4 5c6 5c6 5c6 5c6 5c6 5c6 5c7 5c7 5c7
Upgraded, the synergy with thorn carapace and aflatoxin is incredible.  Also, sacrificing a virus won't summon a malignant cell, even if it's already been poisoned.  You'll have to wait a turn for it to die.

Looks quite neat, and a lot like the deck out deck I used against killsdazombies in the last trial. I would suggest using skull shield instead of emerald because it's cheaper, unless your opponent is using a bolt deck, which isn't common. If you want to keep the life/death card count equal then perhaps take a few more adrenalines.

Well, the emerald shield is really just a place holder until you can get some upgraded thorns, which will really devastate your opponents deck.

I think thorn carapace might be just a bit too expensive for this deck, a deck of this size don't produce quanta reliably from my experience, but then I suppose it would be almost secure board lock down when you play aflatoxin and thorn carapace (upgraded so the cells don't die, right?).

Yep.  The combo is pretty brutal.
