Turbo-speed false god farming (statistics added, 5-6 upped cards per hour)

Congrats on getting a  nymph!! She is my favorite one too!
I wouldn't consider myself very experienced, I'm practically a noob, but I will share my thoughts.

As a fighter: I completely agree with you. After the patch, I took my nymph out because of her nerfed attack powers. But thankfully, I realized that her strengths lie in other places, and put her back in.  She buffs your shield, allows you to play dragons faster, heals you for lots of health, and makes gods with rain of fire playable.

As a restorer: the AI always lobos dragons with "light" before your nymph. What I usually do against gods with lobotomizers is fractal my nymph and play 2 or 3 of them together. The AI will lobo one of them, but after you use her ability, the AI will focus the lobo on any dragons/nymphs with "light".

As an Accelerator of light (shield) generation: She isn't super helpful, but she is indispensable in fortifying your shield. Would you rather have a 12-13 hope shield or a 21 point shield?  Another side effect of this is that the nymphs basically pay for themselves by giving your dragons "light." If you have 6 dragons with light, that is basically two extra uses of the nymphs' ability per turn FOR FREE! That leads into her next use, healing.

As a healer, the light nymph is absolutely AWESOME!!! If you can get your hope shield up in time, you can handle tons of poison/momentum damage without breaking a sweat. After using fractal on your nymph, you can have 30+ healing per turn. Thats like 6 SoG's for basically no upkeep (because of your Rol's/dragons).

Overall don't be afraid of momentum/poison decks if you have a nymph, because her healing nullifies those decks. Also, rain of fire is less annoying if you can get some 'lighted' dragons out in time.

Not to hijack this thread or anything, but here is my current deck with a light nymph. It is basically the same deck as the original above.

I hope that I've been able to help!

I hope that I've been able to help!

Wow yes, that analysis actually helped a lot; you raised several points I did not think of. For example that the light boost also boost shield is a thing that just slipped my mind. I had an encounter with Miracle just a few minutes ago which I nearly lost (would have if I had been 1 turn slower) cause I couldn't get my shield high enough. The nymph's shield and heal would have helped a lot.

Anyways, I'm ready to try it out for myself now and included the nymph in my deck. False Gods, beware!

@xilirius, if u don't like skipping, i suggest u use the money u get from using this deck to either make the "CC? Why bother?" deck, or the puppychow FGbow (both can be found in the upped FG deck archive)

If you don't like skipping, then put in 4x SoG & Miracle and just STOP SKIPPING. Using CCWB deck forces you to skip more FGs than using that "Life-gain version" of Hope/RoL.

Octane is the only FG that is impossible to win with Hope/RoL, Hermes and Ferox being almost impossible. But that's only 3/24 worth skipping.

CCWB gets beaten every time by Dark Matter, Hermes and Rainbow, having also almost impossible FGs: Dream Catcher and Eternal Phoenix. 5/24 worth skipping.

It's not "every time" with CCYB. I beat Hermes and Rainbow once, EP around 3 times, Dream Catcher Twice... Dark Matter, yeahhhh Don't really need to explain for that one. NEVER GIVE UP, for either deck. See if they have a terribly bad start, that is what lead to my victory over various gods. Octane for Rol/Hope, once in a blue moon, is beatable. Tons of explosions, so try to lobomize as many flying Eyes as possible. Unstable Gases and Fire Bucklers could be at the bottom of the deck for all you know.

[Higurashi]

To add to that, I find Eternal Phoenix, Dark Matter and Graviton harder than Ferox. I quite often beat Ferox either by rushing him with Archangels (heavily dependant on if he gets Jade Shield out or not) or by two-turn killing him with Dragons. Sometimes I can one-turn kill him, but that's quite rare.

[johannhowitzer]

Ferox is extremely vulnerable to both Antimatter and Fire Shield.

Ferox is extremely vulnerable to both Antimatter and Fire Shield.

um... what?

[Vipy5]

this decks pretty awesome, the original creator must love him/herself!

[jawron]

Will it work w/ only 2 lobos?

[TheIdioticIdiot]

Will it work w/ only 2 lobos?

yes, but not as well
u should expect ~35% to 40% win rate

[dralock]

Will it work w/ only 2 lobos?

Yes, I only had 2 for a very long time (gemini actually dropped the last for me on a lucky quick win) but your win rate will be a bit more garbage on account of a lesser chance to have it in your opening hand. Vs Paradox, Gemini, Firequeen and Elindis it is only really possible to win if it is out by turn two or three (and really, turn three is pushing it.) VS Miracle, destiny and Seism it doesn't make much of a difference.

To counter that, I added 2 SoG's and an imp miracle. Every once in a while a god would have bad draws and those cards would pull out a win because I could make up the damage while my later lobo caught up with their creature abilities.

I'm including the code so you can drop it in your list easier.

@dralock you forgot Osiris, and we wouldn't want his scarabs to run amok and eat the Rols now, would we?

Yea, that was off the top of my head, and actually I had osiris and paradox mixed up when I wrote it!!
