My RoL/Hope (mostly) unupped

[neuroleptics]

Not many play FG given that arena provides faster  . Yes, this deck is still viable tho not as efficient as it's before in comparison to many other grinding decks (consistent, good TTW and good  )
 
If you want to grind, you can consider using some of these decks. And ROL-hope variation is in here too
v1.32 grinding decks

[Higurashi]

Drawing from my vast experience with RoL/Hope, both unupped and upped, the unupped does suffer when it comes to winrate now. The main reason is slow quanta gain. Once you get some towers, the winrate will go up by 10-15%, and games will be much faster resulting in much better electrum/h. It is still one of the best FG grinders, however outdone by all good SoSa decks and slightly outdone by Ghostal.

Actually, Decay is quite easy to beat. just block 2 damage, and you win.

[CuCN]

Hope doesn't block Decay's Siphons, and Fractal is hard to play under heavy quanta denial.

[Higurashi]

The real reason Decay -can- be easy to beat is that he prioritises your Rays over his Pests when Fractalling, provided he doesn't already have tons of  . Like Eternal Phoenix though, he will use his CC on them first, so you have to either have spares or Fractalled them already. That's why upped quanta sources are pivotal.

Just tested a bit with everything upped buy hopes (cheaper, the +1 isn't that helpful for the extra quanta)

Won 4/5 in silver.  Lost to poison deck (couldn't get hope up before poisoned)

[Frost01]

This is the version I've been using, I added sanctuaries to counter decay and poison, and to occasionally get EM's after blocking all damage. I have both a golden dragon and an archangel to choose between quanta efficiency or more total damage if I have both in hand.

I've been using it to do silvers, but it gets destroyed by firestorm, fire shield, pandemonium and phase shields with SoW.

[Higurashi]

Hm, keep a Ray and Fractal in hand if you can against suspected Firestorms. If you can't, then yeah, it's a problem. Same with Pande. Fire Shield and spell damage is a counter though, that's for sure.

[Cool Porygon]

I added a Miracle ad it seems to help quite a bit. It really does help.

The upgrades aren't needed in the slightest. They're just there cause I had them. I don't think the rates would differ by more than 2-3 % without them.

I included TTL because it was significantly different from TTW. Average TTW is 14.71, while average TTL is just 8.74. This might be good to consider for future UEI formulae.

The following FGs were played in the Trainer to get 3 games per God:

Akebano x2
Chaos Lord x1
Destiny x1
Dream Catcher x3
Eternal Phoenix x1
Ferox x3
Graviton x2
Jezebel x1
Osiris x1
Seism x1

Thanks for this. It is really informative and very helpful with my new Rol/Hope deck.
