Oracle : Dream Catcher

[Rastafla]

The second deck in the OP, flying adrenalined staves doesnt work reliably. In my mind it doesnt "work" at all vs Dream Catcher.

Ive used it 15 times vs the ingame Dream Cather and I've lost 13 of 15 games.
The loss is guaranteed if he playes discord or quicksand. Black holes are close to that deadly. And ButterflyEffect removes any few pends you get from the start if they aren't already removed by quicksand.

Bleh decked out with the first deck... would've needed 2-3 more turns to kill him

Beat it with Aether.  I would suggest replacing the dragons with immortals--I never got a chance to play a dragon.

I did an unupped (excluding shards) version of this and nearly EM'd him. I got lucky because I had lobotomizer in my starting hand and enough pillars and pendulums to power it while still being able to play other cards. And DC didn't get to quint any of his BE abominations.

Second deck worked for me. No EM.

A bit of hassle though. If he gets Discord out before you can get a Dimensional Shield out, your quanta gets scrambled and it's difficult to get anything out.

Thanks for the deck, though. Got a Congeal and upgraded Relic (worth 1025 )

Changed the deck in the OP, it should be fast enough now.

I usually refresh when I oracle DC, but this time gave it a try (waste of time since no card drop imo)
Used this deck:

5c5 5c5 5c5 5c5 5c5 7ak 7ak 7an 7an 7an 7an 7an 7n2 7n2 7n2 7n2 7n2 80h 80h 80h 80h 80h 81q 81q 81q 81q 81q 81q 81q 81qAlmost died before I could get out the needed combo, and had to sacrifice a 2nd staff to AM just to keep me alive until I can get more combos and shield. Ended in EM, of course.

[Toenail]

Just EM'd DC with the following deck:

Mark of Entropy
4 Enchant Artifact
4 Druidic Staff
4 Adrenaline
3 Sanctuary (unupped)
4 Flying Weapon (unupped)
4 Quints (1 upped 3 unupped)
7 QT's
6 Snovas
2 Jade Shield


Very lucky opening hand with 2 towers, snova, staff, adrenaline, quint, and enchant artifact. EA saved my life since DC had a BE out on the 2nd turn. Since this deck is a little fat, you are reliant on either a lucky draw or a bad draw for DC. Sanctuary is probably expendable but I threw them in as added protection and healing since I had the 4 EA's to protect my towers.

Thanks for the OP.

Unlucky loss with the deck in the OP.  Had to waste two staves near the start because I was taking too much damage and had no quintessence.  Deckout with 1 HP to go.

[TheForbiddenOracle]

I can only imagine the rage I'd feel if that ever happened to me

[johannhowitzer]

It feels like that deck needs more pendulums.  He drew his two quicksands and after that, discord and devourers shut me down.

[kobisjeruk]

still no reliable answer to DC
both suggested decks are way inferior to my own suggested
time to go back to using my own concoction

[Taffer]

still no reliable answer to DC

Since I could afford to build it I use this already posted deck and works pretty reliable:

I could defeat DC with the following deck:

Code: [Select]

5fb 5fb 5fb 5fb 5fb 5fb 6rn 6rn 6rs 6rs 6rs 77i 77i 77i 7dp 7dp 7dp 7dp 7dp 7dp 7ds 7ds 7ds 7ds 7ds 7ds 7jp 7mt 7mt 7mt 7mt 7mt 7mt
Feel free to replace Damselflies with Photons/RoLs/Gnome Gemfinders (Sparks/Lightning Balls are less recommended).

Shields and phoenixes MUST be upgraded, Enchant Artifacts and Immolations should be upgraded for better chances, while the upgrade of Rage Potions is not so important.

Hints:

• Do not play a shield until you cannot protect it (unless you have more of them)
• PA order: protect shield first, then shards
• Rage Potion priorities: Fate Eggs and Nymphs first, then Physalia if needed. If you can play PAs properly you don't need to use Rage Potions on BE-ed creatures.
• Cremation: If you have a free creature in your opening hand and a cremation, use the cremation even if you don't have a Phoenix. Otherwise, you cannot produce fire quanta if AI kills the creature. Besides, generating all kind of quanta nerfs Discord effect. Of course, Phoenixes are the primary target of cremations. Exception with the opening hand, use them only when really needed (to generate earth quantum for PA, or when a Phoenix of yours is frozen/antimattered).

If you have upped fire lances you can use them instead of the rage potions because they are cheaper (1 quantum instead of 3) and work well for the primary targets.

You can use any seven free creatures instead of my 6+1 Damselflies/RoL. You might to do a little practice in the trainer because it's easy to fail the tactics (see the hints under the deck image)

Went at him with kobisjeruks deck (from the first page), and it worked like a charm. Even though I could'nt draw a quint for ages, and devourers kept eating my earth quanta so I could'nt protect my towers I won with 5 turns to spare. I did add another momentum for increased damage, was a bit worried about that. Next time I'm gonna add another nova as well, real livesavers.
Thanks Kobisjeruk!
