one of the decks i made for fun.

basically, it works the same as normal RoL hope deck, except using luci and white nymph to light those photons.

it CAN defeat some of the false gods with good hands/draws, but don't really attempt it

a good deck for people who can't afford hope deck yet but want to try it out beforehand.

And with the 3 luci 1 dragon the deck is just begging for BAD draws. I suggest make it 32 cards with 2 extra dragons. With unupped lobos, they require 2 to lobo, turning PC gods into a nightmare, struggling to get enough quanta either for fractal, either for lobo-ing. And if your pillars get destroyed, 2 instead of one is really tough. (Hermes, or slow-playing pillars with Seism)

On the other hand, the deck is highly situational. Even if you manage to fractal enough photons, you have to wait for the luci to come, and then gather the quanta.

I'm using partially upped this deck and gods with Lobo (or who steal my lobo and can use it) luci becomes much more important (losing 1 defense/turn, then resetting). Here you must get luci and then eventually the nymph (if you actually have it) in order for the basic mechanic of the deck idea to work. Without at least the photons upped, the deck is 9/10 times doomed. And those 2 attack on the dragons is often very important (FFQ, Ferox, idk who else).
Add a Miracle. It's a must for this deck to save it from a hope-less turns.

a good deck for people who can't afford hope deck yet but want to try it out beforehand.

For people that don't have the gold, but have the nymph

Err, you expect people who cant scavenge up 9000 electrum for the 6 ROLs to have a white nymph? You may as well just take that out and put another drag in, at least for anyone making this deck.

@gen: 4 lucis would probably work (at least as well as you could expect them to). One for initial , another for dragons+more photons.

'twould be much more practical if luci made a photon turn into a ray of light

I once tried to make an unupped Photon-Hope deck, but it failed miserably. It's too prone to bad draws.

How about... Fractal Firefly?! Unupped, of course.

Only an experimental deck idea...

This deck beats upgraded equivalent when you vs in top50.

The AI fractals your photons and lobotomizes your enhanced dragons and photons, only to have them
luciferized again next turn. Only fractal enemy RoLs when you have a photon out already, so when the
enemy fractals it choses the photon.

Putting SoGs miracles and lobotomizers wont hurt, but i figured id show the rareless unupped version
because someone said something about that stupid white nymph above

If you do add them,  it will make a very noticeable difference, so mess around and see what works for you.

For me i put in one lobo one miracle and two SoGs and removed one fractal.

Like with any hope deck, if you build up way too much light quanta, fractal a dragon.

Holding a fractal, photon, and luciferin in your hand while you already have a nice shield up will result in less
light quanta, but can save you from a loss by creature control
