Rainbow decks card compilation https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=10079.msg121804#msg121804
« on: July 23, 2010, 08:39:17 am »


Need some insight. So far these are the cards that appeal to me as the most useful with the largest possibilities in a rainbow deck. I do not feel like ripping off another person's deck; it's boring. I also know that rainbow decks may start slow, but CAN and OFTEN do lead to nice play outs.

My goal here is to narrow down EVERY card and make a solid layout of cards that may be incorporated into a rainbow deck. In other words, elimination of the useless and acknowledgment of the useful. We on the same track here?

A rainbow deck does three things, while mono-decks only do two. These are the following: Control, defense, offense. With a mono-deck, you're generally stuck with pure offense, defense offense, or control offense. This is my deduction based on ai5 matches.

If you feel my statement of what rainbow decks do is wrong, you can give me your opinion as to why; after all, it may lead to a better play out idea.

Don't think I'm trying to start a battle with anyone here though. I'm not a vet at this game nor do I have much experience, however, I can see what I do like about it and know what kind of deck I want to play. Now, as you all probably know, the most straight-forward explanation of this thread would be rainbow deck perfection; something in which everyone wins and no one loses.

This exact wording will be posted in two forums for maximum attention. This is because one defines "deck help(in which case, I am getting help for my rainbow deck)" and the other defines "rainbow decks" so there shouldn't be a problem.

tbh i dont understand what you're trying to say, attaching your card inventory/vault doesnt help either

these are cards that you will most likely see in a rainbow deck
some have overlapping theme which make them much better
i intentionally leave some cards because you rarely see them in a rainbow (Retrovirus, Bloodsucker) or because they're rare (nymphs)
