SoR

[semibalanus]

So, just thought I would ask.  I have 6 shards of readiness and am wondering what to do with them.  I have made Inostasis so have lots of electrum to upgrade.  Any ideas?

Are you looking for fun decks?

(Most people just use SoR for Instosis)

Guess I was just wondering if there were any really powerful uses for SoR.  I was thinking some sort of animate eternity, stall deck, but don't have the weapons yet to make it.  Looking for some suggestions for good uses for the shard would be my aim.  Thanks

SoRs most effective uses fall into 2 categories:

Using an off-element ability without having the quanta
Firefly Queen and Steam Machine are the main ones that come to mind.

-and-

Quick spam with Time Creatures
You've already seen this with Instosis, it can also be used with Pharaohs to spam a lot of Scarabs quickly. It will also produce 'double-hatches' with Fate Eggs.

Other uses that come to mind are:
-Any Nymph with a costly ability
-Parallel Universe on opponent's creature (or your own)
-Flying Pulverizer or Trident

Would it produce a double deja vu?  Thanks for the above.

It used to, but it was too easily abused, so zanz made it so it only splits into the 'normal' two. However, it can still use it's ability immediately if SoR is used on it.

If you want to find specific decks to use with SoR, you can search: 6rq   ... which is the deck code # for SoR.

Thanks for the info.

Besides Instosis, there's silence is golden, which uses SoR on golden nymphs to quickly draw silences, and various decks using SoR on Pharaoh.

Mitosis + SoR
Fate egg + SoR
FFQ/Steam machine + SoR
nymph + SOR

You can use ideas people put here, or think outside the box. There's lots to be done with SoR's.

My favorite deck that I use 90% of the time simply because I love to play with allows me to make a Pharoah deck using only Novas for (for RT), as SoR elimnates the need for . I suppose you could also eliminate the use for , but I prefer to use Sor's to spam Scarabs rather than use their ability; plus I use for other things.

SoR can be used on pretty much anything in there, Fate Egg is the main offense and sometimes you get random Stuff to use SoR on as well.
If you don't have Nymphs, you can replace them with Pharaoh, RT, Hourglass or more Towers.
