Loadquo's deck ideas

[loadquo]

I'll post my deck ideas here. If they ever become more polished I'll give them separate threads.

Fun fractal Schrödinger's cat and dragon deck trio [ Aether][death][entropy] Actually called kitty tal. I might take it in a more rounded direction (lobo and BE)

This could probably do with a lobotimizer to get rid of momentum, but otherwise does well against creature based decks if you get setup in time.


Rain of Dolls [Gravity][Aether][Darkness]

Kind of fun. Make lots of dolls and lob them at the opponent. I tried making this a rainbow (to have BBs and congeals for CC and extra damage) but it was too unstable as it couldn't get enough gravity quanta (I had darkness mark). I also had mitosis in there as well, but it succumbed to the might that is fractal.

At 17 damage a piece you do need a fractal.
Slowish 8-12 ish turns. Unstable trio. Not recommended.


Continuing with the theme of catapults

Rusty Mechs [Gravity] [Water]

At 35 damage for an iced mech, you need 3 of them to kill. The advantage of this over flying titans is that it is more defensive against rushes, both parts of the combo are useful on their own (unlike titan and animate weapon). Less hitting power in general though. This can kill in 6-7 turns. The BBs are a bit awkward though.

Looks like this one is on the wiki. Pretty much. One day an original deck idea I'll have.
 

Fractal Death Balls [Aether][Death]

About 7 turns max. Good defense as well though.

Same idea as fractal cats, but death for free and a bit more punch. The number of free cards makes it less likely you'll get pillars in your opening hand though. I'm also thinking about a nightmare spark deck anti-ai deck, relying on you having a bonewall up and not giving them too many sparks to overwhelm it before they die and fill it up. That sounds a bit tenuous when I say it out loud.

Nightmare Balls[Death][Dark][Aether]

It is a bit death quanta heavy as it can't soak it up with fractal. But it kinda works. Turns out that balls/sparks are net +1 anyway.

10 ish turn EM potential. Dies to quick rushes. Can be frustrating waiting for the

Looks very similar to what I run for fun, kitten-tall!I usually use 4 shields, 2 dragons and 3 fractals, and with 5 towers instead of 5 pends.

[loadquo]

Heh, did a quick google search on fractal and schroedingers cat but didn't come up with anything.

Have you played with it since 1.29 came out? It is now a lot smoother and needs less entropy quanta (1 for the skill) so you are multiplying the quanta even without multiple soul catchers.

Yup, I always feel I need more quanta.This is what I use, but upgraded.

A few new (or not new as the case may be) deck ideas up.

[xsindomanx]

Ooh interesting ideas!
I've also used the first deck posted here for a bit, and it pretty well often.

For the last deck (nightmare instead of fractal), I'm a bit confused on how it works.
Are you supposed to nightmare your opponent with ball lightnings after putting on bone wall, and make your opponent use them in order to get quarta for dragons and increase wall size? Seems a little risky if your opponent has other creatures already on board.

Is there a specific topic for that deck? I've heard of it a few times, but a google search wasn't helping me, so do you know of one?

[TribalTrouble]

Why not try your hand at arena farming and get one section of arena decks and one of PvP

Given up farming for the moment. I much prefer mucking about with decks in trainer.

It can be, to be honest. If the AI was consistent when it played the ball lightening you could play a fresh bone wall (as long as there was less than 7 creatures, Ball lightnings immediately die after attacking and before the next one does, so can never wear down a bone wall no matter how many as long as it is more than 1) before they hit the table and be fine. However it sometimes plays them immediately  and sometimes never.

I'll have to put very rough speed and stability numbers next to the decks. That one is slow and unstable, but still an interesting concept.

Thank you loadquo. I wonder what to up and change, but thank you. It looks fun!
