Looking for feedback on a rainbow deck https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=53480.msg1122622#msg1122622
« on: January 22, 2014, 11:13:40 pm »
So, I like throwing together a random rainbow every now and then. Not too long ago I stumbled uppon this:
Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 4vl 4vl 52l 52l 55t 595 595 5c1 5f6 5f6 5ie 5ie 5ie 5le 5rk 5rk 5v0 5v0 61q 61q 8pp

It may not look like much, but I find that it does much better than I first expected. I kept it unuped because I do not believe it would be too good in pvp2. I've been playing it against ai3 and I'm getting quite good win rates. I have yet to test it pvp1, but I think it might do well (I'll be testing this soon).
If anyone could test it and give me some thoughts it would be much appreciated.

Edit:
I've tested it in PvP1 now, and it does indeed do quite well, most of the times I loose is due to not having novas in my opening hand, which would destroy most rainbows anyway.
I really want to know what other people think of this deck after testing it, since my view is clouded by the fact that I made it.

I see dolls and BBs, but no GPs. Also, the damage output seems pretty low and horned frog unupped sucks as vanilla creature.

BB is for adding hp to dolls so that they can take more poison, the frog is mainly there to use the life quanta.

Spoiler for *snip*:


Hmm... the water quanta already seems kind of exhausted to me, and I already have a shield. On the other hand, one guaranteed water per turn could mean that forrest spirit>frog.

I'll test with the forest spirit for a while.

Edit1:
So far I've been having better experiences with the forest spirit. Thanks for the tip.

Edit2:
I can also see how GP would be better than BH in PvP1, but against AI3 I like having it for the increased chanse of EM.
Since I view this as a fun deck more than a competative deck I think I'll change the OP to the PvP version.

OP updated.
What I'm wondering about is wether or not this is good ennough to be mooved to the "Rainbow Decks" board.

Edit:
Does the lack of replies mean no, or am I just impatient?

Have you considered adding shards of focus? You could trade your voodoo dolls for shards of focus, which can destroy permanents & will have more hp if you want to use gravity pull on them after using the shards' accretion.

I don't agree with adding SoFo. It's 10 quanta of 1 element where this deck can barely hold 6. Also, this is meant to be a voodoo deck. Without voodoos, it'll be ruined

If you're happy with it I say make a new post in the rainbow board.

My opinion: switch one Discord for another weapon just to balance quanta — I think Vampire Stiletto would do well, since you probably won't have much reason to play the second Voodoo Doll even if you happen to draw them both, keeping :darkness cost down.

I agree with what you said that the :water cost is high enough already. On the other hand I think Mind Flayer kicks ass. If you were to drop a Toadfish for him, then you'd probably want more offense elsewhere though. (Is the Guardian Angel that good?)

Guardian angel works quite good with GP-ed voodoo.

Also, aren't 3 toadfishes a bit too much? I would switch one for another forest spirit.

The deck gets water quanta from the mark, so there should be some creatures to suck up that water quanta.

A forest spirit also sucks up Water Quanta ::)

But they can't poison the voodoo dolls, which a big part of the deck concept.
