Otyughs turns me on! https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=8761.msg102123#msg102123
« on: June 27, 2010, 12:34:34 pm »
Hi everyone, I have a deck design in my mind, but I’ve not completed it yet. So I’ll give the basic ideas of the deck I want, and I’ll appreciate your advices.

Primarily, I want to make the best use of the following cards;
elite otyugh
gravity shield
steal

My idea is to eat less than five hp creatures, as shield already protects me higher than 5 hp. Steal is for both to get back the (maybe) stolen shield, or for lobotomize weapon in order to not to make my otyughs non-usable.

By the way, blessing seems to good addition to this deck in order to grow my otyughs, or also make opponents’ creature more than 5 hp that can not hit me because of the shield. I’m aware of this deck can do almost nothing to immaterial creatures or permanents, but I’ll take this risk. :)

I’m open all of duo, trio or rainbow desk opinions. I can afford 7-8 upgrade.

Note: I also wanted to use mutations but then this makes my deck very crowded, I thought that I can not take critical cards fast enough with that kind of deck.

Thank you.

Don't spend your upgrades on this deck except for maybe 2 otyughs which you can fit into an anti-FG rainbow. Let me have a go at building a deck that fits your requirements though

3x steal
3x gravity shield
2x elite otyugh, 3x otyugh
8x  :gravity pillar
7x  :darkness pillar
3x obsidian dragon
1x titan

Mark of  :gravity

Wonder if this works. Actually your deck concept is a decent one save for two minor problems. The first is that although you can steal back your shield, you need to put a few in to ensure that you draw one in the first place, and then the extras become slightly redundant. The second is that you need card slots to put in damage to kill your opponent. Although the deck I made should work with AI3s, I doubt you can use it against T50 as many of the rainbows in there would inevitably have quint for their key creatures.

Thank you very much, but I believe we should at at least 2 or 3 momentums, right?

instead of this,
try
- 3 dark pillars
- 1 gravshield
+ 2 chargers
+ 1 grav pillar

Dunno if that works tho, just figured out it could take a while to kill your opponent, this might be faster
but it can take a while longer to get your shield out, dunno if its better or not, but you can try it.

I think this is a negative modification--your  :darkness quanta index is too low to play the dragons and you probably won't have an early grav shield.

Nope. Simply save one of the steals for your opponent's shield lategame.
