Swallow [Patient Otyugh][Pulled SoFO][Platinum]

[TeamBftw]

Thx for posting this deck, It's worked well for me in Platinum.  I've tried a bunch of variations and I find one overdrive to be a particularly good addition.  Maybe it's just my luck but I deck out and loose too much without it, due to shard of patience getting hit with lots of PC.

I have a very simular deck build. I built the deck myself before finding this. I have gone more on the water side of things then gravity with water mark and pends. You can benefit my deck from having pends and allwoing some space, i dont because I have towers not upped pends.  Its a troll deck for me. It use to be very great in pvp2. I found a lot of people instead of rage quitting, will just destroy the patience to make me kill them. I put salavager in just for that but plan on taking it out for more effectiveness by adding a nymph tears. You can also decide to take a patience out for congeal incase enemy gets Oty or something out. That was MPots sugesstion. (Afdarenty 2) Another version is to have flooding instead of congeal incase the oty and artic squids cant keep up. And it allows for more damage if an artic squid got in the zone with patience. My deck is not a gold or platinum grinder so Ill enjoy making both versions of gravity and water. Its hard to come back if they kill the first squid, so you might find it more reliable to play patience first turn then artic squid.

Hi,

I tried recently the following version

but I find the quanta balance not well equilibrated. My advice, if you want to run nymphs, play NTs.

I've seen plenty of version of this deck around now - using salvager, overdrive or 3 GF.
If you can post your versions here with stats and screenshots, it might help others to find a deck fitting their style better.
Thanks for your support, have fun and swallow everything.

I have to say it is an absolutely beautiful deck. So much fun to play. I just won against deck with approximately 300 steals and deflagrations. It had no answer to 25ATK Otyugh. Great feeling

I started playing elements 2 months ago and first was playing monoaether. As efficient as it can be it is also incredibly boring. Mine was at least. Play dragon, put SOW on him and hope that phase shield wònt be stolen straight away.

Than there was Poison Dials which is nice but at the moment not working since almost every deck in platinum counters it.

Today it is a great day for grinding

This is the deck I play. I`m sorry if exactly the same was posted already but I`m still getting around this forums.  No purify as not a lot poisoning is going on ATM but 3 GF to make sure they come out as quickly as possible.

Thanks a lot for this deck SnoWeb. I don`t post too often but I just wanted to express my gratitude as this deck really deserves it.

What do you consider as the necessary upgrades for this deck? Mainly the Elite Otys?

Yes and then the towers. Early quanta is the key.

Mr. Snoweb, how come you are not that comfortable with salvagers as i've seen from the previous posts?
Also, is it viable to add 1 more SoP just for increased draw possibility?

Well, I'm not snoweb, but I have played this deck quite a bit, so:

Salvagers aren't a terrible idea really, but they clog up the deck and get in the way of getting other things. You only need one of your 3 (or 4) SoPs in play and you don't really need it in play for very long, and this is a control deck, so if they have the resources to spam PC at your SoPs, something is probably going wrong that wouldn't really be fixed by more SoPs in your hand. If you suspect PC, hold off on playing a SoP until you either need to play it or you have a spare or two on hand and just focus on getting your control lock in place.

An additional SoP is a pretty great mod for this deck IMO, but it's kinda hard to say exactly what should be removed for it. From the 2-NT version posted in the OP, I would personally recommend dropping one of the two purifies for the additional SoP, but there's arguments against that course of action elsewhere in the thread. One of the two NTs could also be an option, but I wouldn't personally drop any of the gravity cards.

thanks for the reply.. im still farming for this deck so i will have the results as soon as i have finished farming for the deck..
i just recommended the additional SoP coz i have troubles drawing it in other decks...

just another question, hw can i adjust in using the NT's? when and how to use it? im a little bit confused

[SnoWeb]

Well, I'm not SnoWeb,

Well I am. But your explanation was good thanks.

As I said earlier in this thread it exist plenty of versions of this deck and most of them are pretty effective. The core deck is the following:

with that you should add either 3 pillars or 3 pendulums depending on if the remaining 4 cards are gravity or water. I showed in the first post the version adapted to my play style in platinum (I really like to EM when I can).
I strongly recommend you to adapt it to your play style and to the level you grind. 2 purify might be overkill in most AI as poison is less of a thread. I wouldn't play a salvager together with an additional SoP as it seems a bit redundant. However, separately both strategy could pay.

just another question, hw can i adjust in using the NT's? when and how to use it? im a little bit confused

They are so many situation it is hard to make a rule. In most games, it is a card you would want to play later. The core strategy is to have both a high HP oty and a high HP pulled-SoFo up and running as fast as possible. However, you might delay to play a SoP one turn to play your NT in cases when healing or denial would be specially required or effective (e.g. a rainbow rush).

I hope I could help. Enjoy and swallow everything.
