i throw rocks in your general direction (gravity/life) (fun)

anyway, here you go!

Deck import code : [Select]

744 744 744 744 744 746 746 746 746 746 746 74h 74h 74h 75m 75m 75m 75m 75m 75m 75m 75m 75m 75m 7ap 7ap 7ap 7ap 7ap 7ap 8pn

fun deck: you throw out an armagio, mito it, grav pull the second, and keep throwing out the first armagio's clones at the enemy. a low-tech solution, but oh so farcical and insulting. that, and under the best circumstances, it means chucking out 48 dmg per turn, but 24 works well enough

works on AI3, too slow against AI4, and i have yet to test it unupped, although possibly replacing some pends for pillars might make up for it.

TTW ~9 against AI3.

pros: shields? what shields?
poison? all the better!
freeze? yes please!
lobo? no problemo
armagios are very resistant to CC, and they give you a nice health boost/ stall potential

cons: no CC or PC whatsoever
lose your trebuchets and suddenly the deck is way less effective
you need about 3-4 turns to set up, meaning most stompies will stomp you
no healing possibility, i didn't add a bond because it's unlikely for you to get more than 4 armagios on the field


i'd say this could be quite fun in pvp, especially against semi-rushes and stalls
comments and suggestions welcome

Isn't the original idea the deck I fart in your general direction? Just saying because of the name and they are both Catatitans.

Well, looks good and seems fun!

[Poker Alho]

cool deck but i wouldnt rely on just 3 trebuchets, minimum should be 4 to get one early

completely unintended, i swear! my idea came from hyper guards ( ) and it got me thinking about other possible synergies...

on the rock throwing, well... honestly, i have no idea what an armagio is exactly, except a big rock (the inspiration for the formula is indeed monty python's holy grail), and it seems so low-tech a solution when you've got fractaled monstrosities in that game that it felt like catapulting a cow on someone.

turns out it's not that problematic, actually. with a mitomagio you can just wait one out for a couple turns thanks to the grav pull. in 10 games it happened twice, once against the FFQ AI3 (i got stomped) and once again versus the  duo, where i had to wait out the ai's pulvy (changed to titan) where i stomped him with 2 cards left in the deck (ttw 23 ). other than that, it's a fun deck. i'll test out a non-upped version for pvp, just to imagine some players' faces...

any ideas what to take out for the 4th trebuchet, though?

[Poker Alho]

i would take out 1 mitosis for sure, imo the deck could run well with just 5 of them or even 4

i think i agree the idea to cut the no. of mitosis. well, i'll put in gravity pull too

[Guizonde]

so, -1 mitosis, +1 trebuchet might be the way to go. i'll keep you posted.

why the extra grav pull? to get a spawned armagio all prepped without the summoning sickness?

Gravity pull = CC.

I would try to add a nova+PA, just for the massive PC.

[Guizonde]

^ why didn't i think of that? that works.

i'm not keen on adding a nova, just one seems too iffy, and anymore i don't know what to replace. i was thinking about adding a PA, but:

a) how to generate it? novas? gemfinders?
b)what to protect? a shield? which one?

etc...

chapuz, mind if you could explain where you'd go with this one? no need for testing, i'm doing that on my own time.


by the way, the change works great: 4 trebuchets is better, and my hand is less clogged. i'll update it later

a) 2  pendulums are enough. I thought about 2 Gemfinders, but they surely won't make you win a turn with their damage and the pends give you  quanta too.
b) to protect a single Catapult, as you are lost if the oponent destroyes all of them.

[Guizonde]

ugh, at the risk of repeating myself....

^ why didn't i think of that?

i must be tired to not have seen that, i'll get some sleep and keep you posted [-> exit, stage left]

[whatifidogetcaught?]

Yay! I inspired something! Nice idea, btw. That's pretty sweet and fun.
