Rainbow vs. AI5 and (maybe) FG

[ayoth]

So I've been trying to make SG's rainbow... for just about (at the time of this writing) a week. Then I played a few games against FG's, and found out it's not because It's a bad deck (well maybe it is but it's better to blame yourself than a successful deck) but because of my playing style.
Living with my variation of Lava destroy rushes and grinding AI3's with a ttw average of about 7, I don't know how to play sloowww Rainbows that take like 10 minutes. So with the upgrades (that costed a huuuuge amount of my money) I wanted to create my own rainbow.
Right now, it works vs. AI3 and SOMETIMES AI5, but not always. I want to get it to the point of an FG farm deck. With as little upgrades as possible.

And if an experienced player tells me that's not possible, then I'll just switch 

Code: [Select]

4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 7q5 7q5 7q5 7q5 74b 74b 52n 52n 52n 5uq 5uq 52r 61t 61t 61t 5f8 5f8 5ro 5c6 5c6 5c6 5lf 5lf 5ol
The strategy is to play the Oty's, Boneyard, devour via Oty, RoF, Nightfall, Emphaty Bond, and use Hourglasses to speed up this process. You should play Owl's Eye until late-ish game where you don't want to use the snipe ability because your oty's are strong enough to basically eat everything (The snipe is to weaken enemies like dragons). Blessing is for the Oty's (duh) and you hope to get a bone wall and use RoF.

I'm probably going to add a few more pillars.
EDIT: Done.

Problem is that it is now 40 cards. :/

It is about four turns faster than SG Rainbow though :/

decks like this really need a fallen elf and the sundials and quintessences.

Why the fallen elf? Mutation? I'd rather sacrifice them for my bonewall lol :/

Sundial? Stasis? Made up for in the dim shields

Quint? Why? Made up for in the blessings / mass devour... and anyways 5 HP is pretty strong already.

SOrry If I look like I'm questioning your every decision I just don't get why I need those...

I played SG bow for a long while.
This is what i can tell you about it.
Quint because there are to many gods which will kill everything you put down.
Elf because mutations give attack and useful abilities.
Sundials because they are useful to stall and also to draw cards(and stop momemtumed creatures).
Less copies of some cards because of extra drawing power.
Personaly i find SG bow outdated, more recent unupped grinders might be a better choice to farm FG's with.
A Rol/hope deck is great to start with if you have the 3 electrocuters needed(farm T50 for those). It works with 6 upgrades(only the RoL).

Great! Thanks a lot!

AI5= Many controls, so quint is a necessity, not an accessory
Sundials may or may not be needed, depends on you
Fallen Elf= More attack power, and otherwise Eternity would be pretty useless. You can't rewind Skeletons to prevent deckout anymore, as they turn into a mutated creature first. Also Rewinding the Otyugh over would not work, gravity is already constantly used so at most you could rewind the Otyugh 3-4 times at the end

[omegareaper7]

I might as well state my reasons since i didn't before:
Sundials, 3 dime shields is hardly enough to stall, better to just use permafrost. Also if you don't get any shields in the opening hand then you have about a 1/9 chance of drawing any including bonewall, sundials help protect you and heal life.
Quints are protection for oty, a plus 3-6 hardly helps when there using reverse time or other high control cards like lobo, shockwave, firebolt, etc.
The elf is for added damage, an army of 2/2 creatures is easily stopped, elf helps with that and allows you to mutate massive creatures down to eat.

quint=necessity in FGbows
