I know I have a lot of cards in my deck... Is this a bad thing?
In terms of the card selection, how is my deck? - I normally have about a 70% chance of winning against level 5's.
Also, I have enough electrum to upgrade a couple more cards - which ones should i upgrade?

Code: [Select]
4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4vm 4vm 4vo 4vq 52n 52n 52r 52r 55r 592 5c6 5c6 5f6 5f8 5lf 5lj 5oj 5ol 5rl 5rl 5rl 5rl 5rn 5rn 5rp 5rp 5rp 5rp 5rp 5rp 5up 5up 61t 61t 621 621 623 623 74bMy mark is Time.

My strategy is using oty to take care of opponents creatures, using bone wall and yard, using fallen elf to mutate any poisonous opponents and mutate my own skeletons into more powerful creatures, and using S's Cat to activate/increase the bone wall and yards if i need to. I also use firefly queen to create fireflies if I can. And emphatic bond is useful if I have a bunch of skeletons or fireflies. I use quintessence or Anubis's skill to make my important creatures immortal (anubis, oty, fallen elf, S's cat, ff queen in that order). Butterfly effect, steal, or deflagration for annoying shields, weapons, boneyards, etc.
I have no idea if this is considered an effective strategy, because I just switched to rainbow recently.

This goes into the "Deck Help" section. It needs to be moved there.

Anyway, if it is AI5 (Half-Blood) your going against, you should have around 70%.

To add the mark to the deck image, quote me, and edit out this sentence and above, also the quotes.
Code: [Select]
4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4vm 4vm 4vo 4vq 52n 52n 52r 52r 55r 592 5c6 5c6 5f6 5f8 5lf 5lj 5oj 5ol 5rl 5rl 5rl 5rl 5rn 5rn 5rp 5rp 5rp 5rp 5rp 5rp 5up 5up 61t 61t 621 621 623 623 74b

It is fine to have that many cards.

I have no idea if this is considered an effective strategy, because I just switched to rainbow recently.
This is a very common strategy for many False God rainbow-type decks. Look at SG's old FG-rainbow, and Puppychows FG rainbow. They have as many cards. I personally use 60 cards, but mine is fully upgraded.

As for upgrading, Hourglass>Oty>Pillar>Bone Wall>Bonds> (in that order) would benefit the deck the most in my opinion. But, it is personal preference.

Hope that helps!

overall strategy looks good to me as well.  having that many cards is ok as long as you have ways to draw through them quickly like hourglasses or sundials(which you do)
I'd say the oty's should be the first upgrade since this makes them much more effective for cc.
Other than that, have you seen any particular pattern to the matches you lose(what types of decks or certain key cards you needed but never drew in time) ?  And are there any cards that usually just sit in your hand unused?
Overall, the deck looks pretty good to me so far and I will probably have to try it out later.

there is no need for the luciferin, remove and add two more hourglasses.

as he ^^^ said, take out luciferin
and if you like big decks, then
-you're way heavy on aether, i'd take out the mindgates and anubis', then add like 1 quint
-take out the deflag, you ave 2 steals and a BE
-and this is a big deck, so you should add at least another hourglass

You're deck's really good ;D ;D. But i would suggest to upgrade your quantum pillars into towers they can give you an advantage of being able to put down monsters as well as your towers in the same turn. Is there going to be a 60th card? will it be a rare weapon that you get in a half blood wheel spin? I would suggest getting a lava golem or another OTY because you have 2 quintessence. If you get a pharaoh it's might be a good idea to keep it if your mark is time because you can produce scarabs.

He is already heavy on time quanta for hourglassess so pharaoh would be a huge drain on quanta. Also, I wouldn't suggest upping all the pillars into towers yet. At least upgrade otyugh/hourglassess/fallen elf because they have a huge impact on your deck. When you get more cards upped you could go try farming fgs with this, many fg decks are based on the same combo as yours.

If you would add a rare card (if you want ) Entity would be a good choice. For Having big creatures that cost a lot  of quanta that the otyugh can't eat.  :)

I'd take out luci, EA, Blessing, and add a possibly Heavy Armor and another hourglass. The deck is big.

I don't really see the usefulness of eternity compared to say, pulvy. Eternity is generally only used to prevent deckout, and in a 60 card timebow, I don't think that will be an issue. Besides, your otyugh can easily get bigger by eating other things then eating that big creature, or you could use fallen elf to mutate it to an abomination. If you add in a heavy armor like Dm says, you will probably have no problems.
