I'm looking for ways of improving this deck that don't involve shrinking it.

(http://www.herogames.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=32979&d=1257883963)


If I had Shards of Gratitude I would certainly use them to replace the Feral Bonds.
Beyond that I am somewhat stumped.

Oh... and the mark is Time.

Can't see the picture. I'd fix it for you, but it requires me to login to the site to view it, and I'm not going to sign up. Try hosting it on a website like this one here. (http://"http://www.tinypic.com/")

I personally never even bother it the person asking for improvement ideas has rules on what kind of improvement ideas I can and cannot say.

You want to improve your deck? Here's an idea.. make it smaller!

Yes, I can see it, and there are a lot of problems with it as far as I can see. First off, take out the Ray of Light, Archangel, Gemfinder, Brimstone Eater, Damselfly, Eagle Eye, Leaf Dragon, Poseidon, and Animate Weapons. Leave in either both Pulverizers, both Electrolizers, or pick one of each. Add three more Sundials, and four more (Super)Novas, two Boneyards, another Elite Otyugh, another Fallen Druid, and an Ulitharid. I'm not sure why you want to keep it 60 cards, but just add filler if you really want to make it that big. Just some advice, lol.

Ok, what size would you suggest that keeps access to most if not all of the major themes currently in the deck?

So you're suggesting that I make it into a clone of the 'typical' Rainbow deck? I've played vs. that deck in PvP and usually win precisely because of the cards you suggest removing (like an early flying Poseidon for example).

The deck is all about quantum balance.  Not any single combination lock.

Major themes? You have those?

To me this deck looks like a typical rainbow with less vital cards (like Sundial and Supernova) and more random useless cards (like Gnome Gemfinder, Brimstone Eater, Ray of Light, etc.).

But there is no need to even look at the cards. The fact that you have 60 cards is itself proof that your deck sucks. Having so many cards makes your deck way too luck dependent.

Wow!
That was so helpful.
Thank you so much.
This is the friendliest forum I've ever posted on.

Don't mind Scaredgirl, she's always like that.

And I know what you're trying to do with the deck, but really if you're using it for PvP, it won't work too well against upper tier players. If you use it for farming Top 50 or Fake Gods, the suggestions I made would improve the win rate. Honestly though, it'd help if I knew what you were using it for, and what your Mark was.

I've been using it vs. all 3 (t50, PvP and False Gods) but I've had far more success vs. the first 2 than the 3rd.
I'd like to improve it's PvP performance as I enjoy those games far more than vs. the AI.

I currently use Mark of Time.

So you define "friendly" as "someone who agrees with you"?

I would understand your reply if I had only said: "You are an idiot.". However I gave you an opinion of your deck, like you asked. It's not my fault you couldn't take criticism. But don't take my word for it. Go ask some other veteran players and they'll say the same thing.

If you want opinions about a deck, just ask. But if you want "friendly", maybe you should go talk to your mom?

Please, try not to say dumb things like that, ok? You are supposed to be a mod. This is exactly why every forum mod should have some kind of training and not everyone is up to the task. You are way too sensitive for that job and all these "omg Scaredgirl hurt my feelings" type of posts you like to write are a complete joke.

I have to ask.. Is this all because I didn't give you my MSN like you asked in that PM?
