Neurotoxic Nova- Entropy/Time Dune Scorpion rush deck https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=35635.msg448360#msg448360
« on: January 12, 2012, 05:42:46 pm »
I made this deck in an attempt to find the best way to field dune scorpions in the first round.

Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 5rg 5rk 5rk 5rk 5rp 5rp 5rp 5rp 5rp 5rt 5rt 5rt 5rt 5rt 6u2 6u2 6u2 6u2 6u2 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q3 8pj


The strategy is fairly simple. Use nova and time tower to get a scorpion out with chaos power asap. Then use turtle shield, reverse time, and sundials to stall till the enemy dies.
This is devastating if you win the coin toss as the other player will poison themselves for every pillar / pendulum they play. Unfortunately, short of needing 1 more pillar upgrade, I'm not sure how to make it faster. I cant use upgraded nova because it wont be playable the first round.
So far this deck seems to be able to get a scorpion out and buffed on the first round about 50% of the time. It is almost a gauranteed win when it does except against those annoying purify cards or empathy spam decks. This deck makes a pretty effective level 3 grinder, but doesn't seem to have that extra something to hunt half bloods, which is what i was aiming for. It definitely puts a major dent in them, but just cant quite get in the extra 10 to 20 damage it needs before dying or decking out.
Anyone got any suggestions for improvement?

you don'y need to feed the scorps on the very 1st round. remember they cost 3 :time, so you need something more than a nova and a CP. you need 2 towers, a nova and a scorp to make it on turn 2. Anyway, well thought. sundial + turtle = nice stalling combo.

I believe that is turn 1

The deck actually only needs 1 nova and any combo of 2 novas or time towers to get the quanta needed on first round. I've seen it happen fairly often. Getting all the ratios of cards right to ensure consistent good draws is what needs tweeking... not sure if its possible to  make it happen consistently on round 1 though. Other thing i've noticed is that, altough the stall is powerful, half bloods just seem to have too much life to chew through so they eventually whittle me down before my poison gets them... not sure what to do about it.
