Nova Rainbow-ish. Where do I go from here? https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=13739.msg173420#msg173420

Hello.


There's my current deck. Believe it or not, but I've been having quite the winstreak with it. I usually win vs. Lv5 with ease.

But the whole graboidcentric builds is getting kinda boring, so I'd love some suggestions as to how I can tweak it. I'd also love some link to any up-to-date all-around deck.

Looks like a pretty good deck, but you may have a bit many graboids, even with earth mark. Also, since you probably don't get too much fire quanta, replace fahrenheit with arsenic. What do you mean by "all around deck"?

I ment that it works wonders in PvP, T50 and Lv5. I'm not a fan of deck which works great vs T50 but sux vs the rest. Also, I agree with you regarding the farenheight

Usually, good pvp decks are good for top50 and vice versa, but halfblood decks are usually different, like a aether mono or an unupped rainbow. I don't really know any decks that would work for both.

The Fahrenheit wouldn't be so useful if you have no major sources of fire quanta. Your forest spirits wouldn't grow to much either, because with all 4 quantum pillars out, you will average a measly 1 water quantum every turn. I would swap the Fahrenheit for a Titan or something.

Like the others have said, fahrenheit will fail in this deck.  go with arsenic/titan/pulv (with 1 less graboid).  Replace one forest spirit with a mind flayer, its sickeningly good for its cost.  The flying weapon is really unnecesary, take it out for a maxwell's demon if you want more control, or maybe another pillar.

I would suggest the following:

Firstly I would consider trimming down to a 30 card deck. If a speed deck hasn't won in the first 23(minus starting hand) turns, generally you lost. This increases the chances that every time you draw you draw one of your better cards.

-1 Forest Spirit (Looks like continually fuel 1 :water a turn could be somewhat tough, so I couldn't image two.)
-1 Lycanthrope (I love this card in this type of deck, but for a speed deck getting even 4 :entropy and 4 :darkness without a SoG eating some can at times slow you down. Running 2 lessons the chance of having 1 sitting in your hand or on the board unable to Lycanthropy.)
-1 Fahrenheit (Already explained.)
-1 Flying Weapon (running a 1 weapon speed deck is just a bit more consistent in my opinion.)


If you wanted some ideas for other cards to add I would consider testing:

1 Precognition (only as a 30th card, if you continue to run a larger than 30 card deck this is useless, would use the otherwise useless  :time)
1-2 more Deflagration if you can support the quantum, this would help a ton against Top50, and PvP.
1 Poison  (Uses  :death and it is damage that goes through any sort of defense an oppoent can muster like Phase Shields. Okay except healing but then you have other problems.

Hope that helps you.
