Hobnob5000's Life/Light

[Hobnob5000]

Today, I found a revelation. Rustler/Leaf Dragon's skill...can be used more than once per turn. OMGWTFBBQ. Oh wait, you already knew that? 

Anyway, based on that, I made a nice little deck that can kill quite quickly.

Strategy is simple. you should get a Leaf Dragon out on your second go. From this, you can then use the light quanta from the pillars and / or RoLs. If you put down 4 pillars first go, by the time you can use the Leaf Dragon's ability, you would have 12 light quanta. Enough to turn into 24 life, or two Jade Dragons. Thats 25 attack by 3rd go.
The Light Dragons are there incase you don't draw a Leaf Dragon before you have 13 light quanta, or you have no life cards to play.

Constructive Criticism welcome.

Interesting rush deck. Do you really need that many leaf dragons though? And what is this for? AI3, T50, AI5, PvP?

Yes, the leaf dragons are the most important card in the deck. It's probably designed for AI3 and AI5.

Nice deck. The Rustler/Jade Dragon combination has been around for quite a while.

This is supposed to be a Light abased combination? -.-

Actually, what I'm meant to be building is "A duo-deck with at least half the cards from the element they are challenging." This deck would not function without the light cards, and as my deck has 50% light Cards, it goes. (I think)

And it can be for AI3 and T50. It works in PVP too, but I'd recommend changing the RoLs to Miracles (I do that anyway) and 2 Frogs: one to a Spine Carapace and one to a Jade staff

Those leaf dragons are to ensure (or almost) that you have one in your hand by the 2nd turn. It also gives you some insurance incase the first few get destroyed. I tested it with less, but never drew them quick enough. At least, that's how it worked for me.

I assume the Rays of Light are there to make the deck less vulnerable to Quicksand?  If so, might want to take 6 of them.  Your strat works, definitely, but for my play style, I'd bump RoL to 6, drop both Light Dragons, and stick in a couple upgraded Sundials.  That will help you burn through the deck faster for your Leaf/Jade Dragons - not so concerned about decking out even with 30 in a rush.  (Some of this is me thinking out loud...)

In my version of the deck, I drop the two Rays of Light for Two Miracles. This way, I can both hold off against an AI5, and get a quick mastery at the end. If you want to include RoLs, I wouldn't necessarily include 6, as creature control is generally more common than pillar control.
