Hi! Rainbow popped up in my Oracle fortune today, and I thought "maybe instead of logging out so that my next opponent isn't Rainbow, I will try to actually put up a fight." I took a look at every post in the FG Strategy: Rainbow subforum, and kinda threw together this monstrosity from what I had, only buying a few pillars, Basilisk Blood and all three Gravity Shields (yes I bought the one upgrade :-/):

. I unfortunately didn't take a screenshot because I was so surprised, and unused to having screenshot-worthy games.
Here are some of my thoughts after having tried it once.
- The fire bolts are not powered very much; initially I wanted to use them to finish Rainbow off so that I didn't have to put up with Miracles. I ended up using one to weaken a Lycanthrope so that my Oty could have his first meal. I actually did use a fire bolt as a finisher, but the bolt did... 6 damage? I think if she'd had a Miracle on hand, the AI would've used it. I'm not sure if the fire bolts need to stay.
- I don't know if I was just extremely lucky, but I started out with four pillars, covering each element I needed (two on Gravity). Then I had two Destroyers and an Oty on hand, and drew two quints within the next 6 turns or so.
- I'm really not sure the damage is fast enough. I had a quinted Oty, and then a quinted Destroyer to do damage. My other one I was saving for a quint (which never came). Alternatively, the deck needs to heal, since I had like 40 hp left and was worried that even removing creatures as soon as Miracle played them wouldn't be enough.

I never drew a single Gravity Shield[/li][/list] [Oh no! No wonder! I didn't have any. Sorry, all.]
- I never drew a PA.
- I never used a Basilisk Blood.
- I managed to Explode one of two hourglasses she had up. I think that keeping hourglasses down is pretty important.
Suggestions? :O
EDIT (or is it "MODIFY"
): Capitalized an "i"
MODIFY: I'm too lazy to go back an change "bolt" to "lance" in my post... Incidentally, I had 12 fire quanta when I used my bolt on Rainbow's HP. Thank goodness for rounding up.
LAST CHANGE (I hope): I don't know why the deck image is not showing up with the mark, since it does say "Mark: Earth". Is the capitalization wrong or something? I had it at "EARTH" and it didn't work, either.
DEFINITELY LAST REMARK: Finally! It worked. I don't know how it is any different than I had entered it before, except a carriage return between the first [deck.... blah blah blah] and my deck code. Eh.
OK MAYBE THAT WASN'T THE LAST EDIT: See the strikethrough above. ???
SEVERAL FAILED EDITS: I keep forgetting about Preview. Also, I can't get the hang of this coding; where do spaces matter? I give up on that strikethrough, for now.
