You Can Slay That Again! [Life][Time]

[willng3]

Note:  Submission for Phase 1 of Trials 4.

Like most, this Phase of Trials annoyed me because of these requirements we had to fulfill; it seemed like the task was specifically built to make it incredibly difficult for Life users to create an original deck which is capable of defeating the Arena successfully (to an extent).  But I rose to the occasion and after much blood spilled and tears shed, I have created something rather unique:

Man this deck is fun when you're not paired against a perfect counter.  Deja Vu + Adrenaline isn't exactly an original concept, but throwing in Mitosis and a few Green Nymphs for extra back up is a purebred stall-breaker.  It can easily deal over 100 damage in 5 turns and when I first designed the deck it just ran right through Gold League like it was an AI1 opponent.

Main weaknesses consist of Fire Shields, Otys + Gravity Shield, 2 damage reduction shields, Skull Shield, and most forms of mass CC.  I was expecting normal CC to be a huge problem, but after smashing 2 Firestalls before they managed to play a single Fire Buckler I realized I might have underestimated the deck's speed.

Extremely fun to play.  If you're not competitively grinding Arena, then taking this deck out for a spin might be worth your time.

Fix'd.

I've always loved Adren because I can watch a bazillion hits on the enemy's HP. Dejas literally double that fun. This is a pretty creative way of solving a difficult task, and it's hilarious to play. :>

Lol yeah I was mainly referencing the amount of 7TTWs I got in Silver and Gold League since I never kept track of when I broke 100 damage.  Good to know it's 5 though :>

I was very worried when I saw that... I'm sure arena decks are easily capable of rushing you in 5 turns.
I think it's worth editing the OP

a few Green Nymphs for extra back up is a purebred stall-breaker.

For those of us that don't have these two cards, what would you suggest as fillers that would still keep the speed of this deck?

I'm always curious as to 'new' fun decks to enjoy outside of FG farming.

The only thing that I could imagine would keep the speed would be 2 additional Epinephrine.  There's really just not another substitute that Life has to offer that would work well otherwise IMO.

[...] a few Green Nymphs [...]

I am so jealous. As you said 2 more epinephrine almost do the trick.
Great deck Idea by the way. Sadly neither time nor life as PC to deal with those annoying shields. This probably lower the win/loss ratio of this pretty build by a lot.
