Oracle: Divine Glory

[victor_hrb]

Vultures are a bit of a gamble, as they won't be able to reach tons of attack if they come out too late. With Dragons, however, you can play one and save 5 until DG is within kill range. You can circumvent his Miracles completely this way.

Viruses are, of course, not worth the card space. It's more important to pack more quanta so you won't get denied.

As for the viability of this deck, well.. depending on the draw DG might get more than twice as many MG's as you get Cats and thus he'll outrush you. Furthermore, Explosions can completely quanta-deny you.

This is one of rare cases where Fractal Cats actually works.

humm agree. The game and deck i post maybe be a lucky gamble. but you think is impossible to make a consistent couter deck to DG with bone wall +  cats?
even if you have to bet a little bit... haha
I think is a very good option to shardless players.

Upgrading definitely helps, and divinity is better than sanctuary (because of Explosions) this is an updated version of what I use (added silences compared to previous page version) and I never lost with it yet (play it when oracle predicts DG, maybe 4-5 times):

Nice deck Zso_Zso (as usual) - Thanks.  I tried to see whether this works semi-upped and it did!  Here's the slight mod that I used (with the random upgrades that I already had - in terms of priority the SoWs would likely be first):

It was a little strained for aether quanta (which upgraded SoWs would help with), so I would swap a couple light pillars for pends, but otherwise it worked great.  Not sure how newb friendly it is with all of the shards, but it's an effective deck.

I beat Divine Glory today, pretty simple with this deck:

result:

Strategy:
obviously you use schrodingers cat to generate quanta with soul catcher.
Counters:
-Explosions (a lot of them)- AI use all the explosions in Bone Wall.
-Animatter Mornin Glory - 1 cat + bone wall beat 2 morning star a turn without lose walls (o little more bone wall could improve the deck, i have lucky he comes fast)
...

Maybe I misunderstood what you were going for, but you can't antimatter Morning Glories as they are immortal.

[kaempfer13]

He meant that one use of dead/alive will negate 2 attacks of (animated) morning glorys, if bonewall is in play. I think you can see that english is not his mother tongue.

On another note: Your deck looks like its a bit too big (4cards more than necessary) and the Holy flash is for Ems after using Miracle, which obviously doesnt work with the unupped Holy light.

This worked beautifully, although the first shield was a bit late. I replaced the Flashes with Luciferase for mulligan and because I had extra quanta from a Dragonfly pet.

While testing this deck against AI4, I misclicked and by accident clicked FalseGod. I got Divine Glory and won against him/her(?).
I think I was lucky.

Adrenastaves are actually one of my favorite counters to DG, so I'm not terribly surprised your deck worked, as it's adrenastaves plus arsenics. I don't think the arsenics are necessarily an improvement over more staves, but they certainly aren't a crippling issue, particularly when you've got TUs.

As a more general note, your deck will get a good bit better if you use unupped staves. 2 attack gives 4 attacks (i.e. 20 hp healed) a turn, while 4 attack gives only 3 (i.e. 15 hp healed).

[Renaaata]

I was lucky, because I got DG with this deck
I was just messing around trying to build fully upped decks from my very limited resources.
The idea was simply: heal until poisons kill enemy, use TU depends on the situation.
I guess the deck needs a few changes, but yet I have these cards:D +1 death pend -1 Electro maybe helps

So very true, I just didn't think of that.

Hi Kaempfer - aha - antimattered vs. animated...  that makes a lot more sense of what he was going for (and I was honestly confused, I wouldn't intentionally pick on someone b/c of language issues).

Regarding my deck post, yeah - it's a little big, but it's worked both times I've used it.  Not sure why you say the unupped Holy light wouldn't work for getting the EM after Miracle?  The card works the same way, but the unupped version is free, vs. costing one Light quanta.  (please tell me this isn't another language issue...  und meine Deutsche ist nicht so gut, aber Ich koennte probieren).

[dragonsdemesne]

The issue is that because holy light costs 1  , you won't have any light quanta after playing miracle to cast it.  You'll need to either upgrade the holy light or else have an upped tower in hand to play after so you can cast an unupped holy light.

[trashduke]

Right - now I understand; thanks for the clarification. 

[kisking11]

That first luciferin-deja vu deck worked for me perfectly (the first one). EM-ed Divine Glory, and got 2 upgraded cards. Thanks!
