Step 1: Alphatoxin their creatures and hide behind a permafrost shield until you have 2 or 3 vultures, bonewall, graveyard, plague, and flooding in your hand.

Step 2: Drop vultures, bonewall, graveyard, plague, flooding and end your turn.  Pray they don't kill the vultures during their turn.

step 3: Enjoy your 39/40 vultures and your 62 Bonewall

I don't know if this deck is good for any type of grinding or anything, but it's just so dang fun to go from nothing to gigantic vultures and bonewall in 1 turn.  I'm going to see if I can get it to work against some false gods.  It might be fun t50 or pvp or something, and I'm sure it will be much better fully upgraded.  You can probably change your mark to a different element and splash whatever you want.

Enjoy,

Looks like it would take a long time to set up, but besides that, it looks like it gives lots of laughs

The big problem with this deck is the fact that malignant cells aren't killed by Flooding/Inundation, so you have to plague them. Other than that, it's fun. It is amazingly effective against fractal decks, though.

Well Jalen I give you credit for making quite an original deck. I have a soft spot for our carrion eating friends the condor and the vulture. Im glad you found a good use for them.


+1 karma for being original!

[jallenw]

I made a change:

I took mark of fire and replaced the plagues with Fire Storms. 

And yes, the malignent cells aren't killed with the flood, but the skeletons are, so it still works quite well.  Yes, it does take a bit to get going, and I'm working on some methods to speed up the deck.

The coolest thing is that I have actually beaten a couple of False Gods with this. 

Miracle, Fireflyqueen, and Incarnate all fell to the vulture swarm. Of course, I lost to them a couple times before I managed to get the ideal draws.  This certainly isn't a fg farmer.

I'm thinking of developing a rainbow based around this idea, with momentum.  I'll see what I can come up with.

This deck is currently untested.  It is a standard rainbow, but the fallen elf has been removed and replaced with momentum/vulture/alphatoxin/flood combo.  The deck 2 cards larger than my Scaredgirl variant, and 6 cards larger than the standard scaredgirl build.  I use 1 firestorm and 1 unstable gas because there may be situations were I need to use alphatoxin on my own creatures, fill my board with malignant cells, and pop them all, in case I am against a deck that runs invincible creatures and I can't alphatoxin.  I'll start testing this deck and get some stats on how it performs, but here's a screenshot of a previous build against a level 3.  (I still had elite queen and 2 firestorms instead of the unstable gas in this game.)

Im luvin it bro. Good work. Hope you make it uber fast.

[jallenw]

I just got a 78/79 vulture against Paradox.

It isn't all that fast, since it usually has to run through to the last card, but so far it is effective.  I don't have to eternity bounce more than once or twice, as opposed to my scaredgirl variant that used mutants. 

[jallenw]

Current build uses shards instead of bonds, 2 vultures, 2 momentums, 2 alphatoxins.  No eternity.  I'm using the Eagle's Eye instead.  101/102 momentumed vulture.

[Baily18]

Epic! a problem might be Gemini's momentum and TU(imagine 5 101/102 vultures on her field  )

[Wardead]

It would be more epic if it was "Raged" every turn, imagine getting +7 atk every turn.

The way the deck works, the vultures aren't in play except for 1 or 2 turns, and I usually play vulture/momentum/quintessence all at the same turn, so they can't be targeted.

The way it works is to fill my opponent's side with malignent cells and hide behind a permafrost shield.  Flood kills anything except cells on the top and bottom rows, while the oty and eagle eye take care of anything in the middle.  I also have a boneyard in play.

When I have 2 vultures, 2 momentums, a bonewall, and a firestorm in my hand (usually with 2 or 3 cards left In my deck) I drop the vultures with momentum(and usually quint at least one) and the bonewall.  Then I rain of fire all the malignent cells.  This pumps my vulture up +23/+23 and fills my side of the board with skeletons.  At the end of my turn 16 skeletons(top and bottom rows) die from the flood and my vultures get +16/+16.  Overall, that's +39/+39, along with extra bonuses from my oty's eating skeletons in the middle row.  The bonewall get +78, so it's an 85 cound bonewall.

This deck is awesome against a fg with boneyards, because you can firestorm his cells, and it fills up his side with skeletons, and you can firestorm them again, giving the vultures an aditional +23, and the bonewall an aditional +46.

2 quint/momentum vultures at 39 or more attack power will make short work of the false god.

So far, I've had excellent results against Incarnate and Mort, as well as promising results against paradox, destiny, chaos lord, fire queen, ferox, miracle and elidnis.  Of course, there are some gods that this type of strategy is unlikely or impossible to use.  Divine Glory is a pain, you have to alphatoxin your own creature.  The FGs with perm control are also the hardest, but enchant artifact on the permafrost shield makes it possible for this deck to work against Rainbow, but only if you get lucky.  Seism is normal, you can win if you can EA your pillar stack early.

Osiris, Decay, Eternal Phoenix are easy if you can hide behind a perm shield and get a flood early.  Usually you don't worry about the alphatoxin combo, just drop a momentum/quint vulture and flood, and they will drop creatures to fuel the vulture.

The original deck in this post (dual death/water) is effective against some of the easier FGs as well.

I'm still working on the build to see if I can make this more effective.
