Rainbow Deck, help please :X

[Wadjet]

So I almost surely won't do many of the changes you suggest. For example, I will not take it down to 30 cards. I enjoy this deck and its win rate isn't terrible.

However, I would like to know how many pillars I should have. Also, I am thinking of getting rid of the micro-abomination. Any thoughts?

Any other improvements would be appreciated. Also, what should I focus on upgrading?



EDIT: Updated my deck to this.

Either less cards or more hourglasses. Also, supernovas don't help much when the deck is that big and you have so many pillars.

[Wadjet]

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking +2 hourglasses, -1 GoTP, -1 Micro Abomination. The MB was not very helpful except when FD was out.

Yeah I figured that out a bit too late XD


Here is my deck currently. Upped more cards and changed it around a bit.

A good start. However, it wouldn't be bad if you cut it a bit more. The Nymph's tears and Dim shield can be cut- Try replacing with bone walls/wings. Also, what's your druid doing there? The Druid-FFQ combo is good, but kind of slow.

You have a lot of good things going on, but they're all interfering with each other. Keep a few core elements- do you want growth creatures, or do you want to mutate? Heal to stall, or control the field?
You don't necessarily have to pick only a few strategies, but it'd be a good idea to emphasize a few card combos or to centralize your deck's theme.

[Wadjet]

Yeah I know what you mean. It's so hard to take out my druid but I probably should, that card is a ton of fun when it gets going but it just doesn't happen often. As for nymph's tears, it's another really fun one that I guess I'll take out lol.

Dimensional Shield I like though. It has saved me where wings hasn't several times. The only problem is that its cost interferes with mindgate early on if I have them both and vice versa.

I just tested 20 games against HB and got 75% wins with 25% EM. However against FGs I only got a 35% win rate and only one EM. Any way to optimize this deck for FGs  besides what you mentioned? (I'll do what you mentioned though) I know there are better templates for FGs but I prefer to use one that is at least partially my own.

[Aves]

Control is control. You should probably keep stuff like pandemonium, steal, and Elite Otyugh. Why not create variations?
A base would probably be, aside from QT, hourglasses, and SN, something like this-

And so on, mixing and matching as you add new cards to explore.
Don't take my suggestions too seriously, though. I'm not a master deck-builder or anything, and I'm not the one testing this.

Edit:Oh, and for FGs- try adding quints/defensive stuff like silence or cloak. You'll have to play around with the balance, but I've just noticed that this deck is very vulnerable to control.

Ok, what do you want to play against? Level 3, arena, false god?

I think you should try permafrost over dimensional. I always found permafrost a ton more helpful.

Ehem, what about his diamond shield? Permafrost would be better suited switching with that.

[omegareaper7]

Could try switching both out for two of them. But that might interfere with steamy.
