Patient Decay [Duo]

More playing around with the new shard changes (and Desiccation!), I came up with this.

Idea is simple: Lower the opponents max HP while building up a massive amount of damage... which they can't outheal. Squids provide all the time you need to get ready, while the Tears provides a nice 4  Mitosis which creates even more creatures to leech off of SoP. Desiccation is there for (VERY) minor CC, and, more often, a quick quanta boost. Don't be afraid to Nymph all your towers if you can win in the next couple turns. Desiccation can provide some emergency quanta.

Works fine against AI3. Not a rush deck, but I've had fun playing it.

Me likey. It should work unupped, so I'll try it in the arena eventually.

Why was I expecting Pestal + SoP?

[Belligerence]

I dunno, wasn't really referring to Decay as in the FG, but decay as in SoV leeching your max HP o.o

I don't see why you need the SoV (SoP should give you enough damage alone), but if you're going to use darkness why not add a vampire dagger?
Also, adding +1 flooding and +1 purify would greatly increase the number of decks this one can beat.

Meh, just my opinions.

It works really well, just tested it out.

The shard of voids speed up the endgame process drastically by applying damage during the waiting period.

Flooding's bad for this deck, it eats your water quantum, takes up a slot in a deck with no draw, would require 6 creatures to launch before it's even effective, and would die once you fully launch your nymph set. You don't want flooding. Purify would be good though, neurotoxin and poison are both pretty dangerous for this deck.

Also, I just killed dream catcher with this deck, with dessications replaced with congeals.

Forgot to check the beta section over the past few days. But yeah, this is pretty much why SoV is included. Originally it was less about being super efficient, and more about using a couple of less commonly used cards (NT/SoV). Purify would be a cool addition though. Also, beating Dream Catcher is pretty impressive o_O especially with 3 cost.
