Play Top 50 for pulverizers. I got one recently from Top 50 so now I have enough for this type of deck.

This is probably one of 2 decks that work well against rainbow. It does worst against devourers because there is 50% chance per devourer to steal your gravity quanta and then you can't destroy which is just terrible.
Yeah, Devourers are pretty annoying. Fortunately most rainbows don't have Devourers, they only have Steal.

Worst opponent to this deck (that I've seen) is this one guy in top-50 who has a fast Fire deck. You will die in less than 10 rounds because there is no way of getting those Basalt Dragons on the table fast enough. When I was really lucky with the draw I ALMOST won, but in the end I died.

But like I said before, this deck is designed to counter rainbow decks only and I'm sure there are tons of non-rainbow decks that would cause a lot of problems.

What's the other deck that works? I've tried different elements but Earth seems to be the best.

For the most part, monofire with 6 firebolts, a few fahrenheits and a few rain of fire with rest pillars/towers works good. It's a bit boring though.

Funny you should say that. I just ran a similar deck 2 minutes ago :)

I didn't have Fahrenheit (too easy to Steal) and I took 6 Explosions (to destroy Hourglasses etc.) and 6 upgraded Sundials for defense and card drawing (with mark of Light).

I did beat all the rainbows I fought but like you said, it was super boring. Earth deck is much better.

As most of the decks in the top 50 have no spell protection, and at most one miracle and one purify (more usually one or t'other), I ran this deck against them.  Like the mono-fire, it's dull to play, and slow, but if you come up against the SSG (standard scaredgirl), it's essentially guaranteed victory.

Mark of Death
6xPoison
6xFirebolt
2-4xRain of Fire
Fahrenheit
Fiaahhh pillahhhz.

Most of the defences of the T50 rainbow decks consist of Sundial.  So weapons and spells are the way I went here.
The main reason it works is the fast guaranteed damage of the poison, and the creature control/direct damage of fire bolts.  You can definitely run this deck without rain of fire.  Do NOT play Fahrenheit early, treat it as a one-shot damage card, because if you play fahrenheit early even the AI will dimly register that teh big shinee sawed might well be useful and nick it.

Also note: the AI does NOT know how to play the T50s deck well.  You will be creamed if you try using this deck against a player.  I don't put any creatures in, because creatures are essentially otyugh fodder.

Putting Deflag/Explosion in, or Immolation for faster damage tended to make the deck too complicated, so I avoided it.  Ditto for upgraded Bone Wall - if you got it in the late game, it tended to get destroyed quickly, early in the game, it was too expensive even at just 5 death to bother playing.  Arsenic has a tendency to get stolen.  So...that's my Top50 deck.  Have fun grinding those valuable quantum pillars - you may win an Otyugh if you're lucky.

That's not true. I'm an innocent 19 year old girl.

I tried a similar deck, only I didn't use that mark of death/poison which is a great idea. But like you said it's really slow and dull to play. I really need some creatures to make this game interesting.

I think my Earth deck is just as effective, only much faster and more fun to play because you can totally shut down any rainbow.

What would you suggest for those of us who only have one pulverizer?

Get into the top 50, make a deck with 28 Time Pillars, 1 Hourglass, and your 1 Pulverizer. Then, play t50 over and over again until you find yourself. Then, just play against yourself, and since there's an Hourglass in the deck, they'll eventually deck themselves because they'll draw, and you won't. Sure, it'll be slow, but once the game is over, you'll have a VERY good chance of getting a Pulverizer, since the only things in the spin will be a Pulverizer and an Hourglass. =/

I would suggest you try find more of them. :)

This deck won't work with only 1 Pulverizer because you really need it early on. I tried it with 2 and even that was way too random imo.
