So I lost 1000 points in the past week, I was going well and then suddenly I can't do right for doing wrong...
 this is my current deck. Where am I going wrong? I'm playing against FG's and was doing allright for a while, but had crap luck with the spins so have only a few upgrades.
Code: [Select]
4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 52n 52r 5c2 5c6 5f8 5oj 5rp 5rp 5rp 5rp 5um 5up 61t 621 621 6qq 6qq 6qq 6u6 74b 7q5 7q5 7q5
I have another druid and elite otyugh which i could sell to upgrade another card or 2

To start off, the heal and devourer seem very out of place. I recommend you replace them with an empathetic bond and steal, respectively. Other than that, I recommend you put an eternity (if you don't have one, request a farm on Top 50 board) in there and a PA for it, and a deja vu or other 1-quanta costing creature to rewind end-game to avoid decking out.

Besides that, not much to say, check out the other popular rainbows (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,1748.0.html (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,1748.0.html) and http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,4212.0.html (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,4212.0.html) are very good places to start) and get an idea for how to tweak your deck.

SoG would help a lot, but otherwise, looks pretty solid, if not quite as strong as it could be.

Hope this helped, good luck :)

^ Post above gives great examples of rainbow decks as a reference

As Finkel put, the devourer and heal are not needed.  Devourer doesnt really help the deck as Steal is the only real darkness card the deck would need.  Heal only gives you up to 20 HP, which a FG will take twice that amount before you can blink.  Your deck is really small, being 33 cards for a deck would of course seem like a good idea giving you better odds of drawing your good cards.  However being a rainbow deck, if you draw say for example FireFly Queen and youve only managed to gain about 3 air quantum gives you a dead draw.  Now that is completely situational.  Youve upgraded your hourglasses which is great as they will speed the deck up tremendously.  Again as Finkel said replace the devourer for another steal and heal for another empathic bond.

Eternity is by far one of the best weapons (the best in my opinion) for this deck.  Grind some elders and top50 decks for one if you dont have one yet.  Top50 is the best for it being that youll only run into an elder with eternity rarely.

Scaredgirl has another good reference for Rainbow decks shown here.  Your Mark will be  :time Time http://www.screenshotdumpster.com/img/m7Gbd46839/Anti_False_God.jpg

Hope this helps  :)

Not enough regen. Not enough CARDS (you will end up decking out very often if you regularly use 3 hourglasses in 33 cards). Not enough chips on the key creatures--if you don't draw the OTYUGH, I don't know how you win.

-1 Heal, -1 Pest
+2 Antimatter, +1 Miracle, +2 Otyugh, +1 Rain of Fire, +1 Bone Wall, +1 Quint, +1 Hourglass, +3 Quantum Pillar/Tower, +1 Pulverizer

And you have a 44 card deck. If you don't have another 2 upped otys and 1 extra electrum hourglass, up those first. After that maybe you'd want to look into 2 SoGs before continuing with the rest of the pillars.
