My current deck is basically ScaredGirl's unupped deck (after a lot of ups :D) + 1 extra quint.

Recently, I was thinking about the advantages of the Entropy-SN bow (is it the PSNbow?) compared to the Timebow, and I'm not quite sure as to which one is better. Although it's true that it is faster due to the Supernovas, there might be problems with time-quanta generation in the late game when I need to spam reverse time using the eternity. Perhaps it could be solved with a time tower. So, I'm looking for any advice on which of the two is better, and any advice on how to convert it if the Entropy-SN bow is better, or any advice on how to improve my current deck.

Any feedback appreciated. No criticism please, only constructivism...constructivity...whatever that is :)

So, welcome to the forums :D

First of all, i would like to state the biggest difference between the two bows.

Time bow is somewhat more defensive-like, takes some more time to set up, but once set up hard to destroy.
Entropy-bow is faster, relies on the mark for the supernova's, and in two turns you can usually play your hand empty.

Thus, your worries about a deck-out by not being able to use an eternity is usually not needed in  :entropy bow, because its fast enough to kill before the deckout.


Furthermore, if you want to build a  :entropy bow, i would most likely first up 6 nova's to supernova's, because it just won't work unupped, and then you can start to change.

Well, it's a bit straight forward advice, but would be sufficient for now.

if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

PSN bow: a kind of 30-card, usually rush and very fast deck which relies on Pendulums and SuperNovas to generate a lot of quanta in little time. The usual build is 6 pends + 6 supernovas + entropy rushy cards (werewolves/chaos powers) + 5-6 cards the same element as your mark + off element cards.

You are looking for a different kind of deck, one of the most used anti-FG builds, which relies on speed rather than control to win. Games with these decks are faster than the games played with timebows, and the usage of :time is mainly centered around speed-drawing with Hourglasses, as decking out isn't usually a problem (these decks usually have less cards, because they don't use so much stall power).

You won't probably be able to use all the upgraded cards you already have for that, and Supernovas are a must, of course, but you are on the right way because you have already improved some useful cards.

There are some versions that mix both concepts, but this is probably entropybow at its finest, the father of all entropybows (although some appeared before it :P), CCYB (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,9545.0.html).
