Oracle : Eternal Phoenix

[the dictator]

This deck just completely destroyed him:

Note: EP explodes arsenic and bonewalls over soul catchers

I wish I had used the one above... I tried the standard one posted at the start, the unupgraded one... didn't work out so well. I didn't have enough quantum to slap down that Bone Wall and got my butt handed to me by Ruby Dragons.

it might seems like a good thing but swapping soul catcher in place of some pillars (in unupped version) doesnt really optimize your play

think about it, if you are starved for quanta (which is the biggest reason why you'd do the swap), you might blow up a thunderstorm with a couple of SC in play but since you're lacking in death quanta before, you probably wont be able to do the wall combo until after you put down SCs and if you're unlucky and dont draw your second thunderstorm you're screwed

pillars -> bonewall -> vulture(s) -> thunderstorm = gg EP

SC -> thunderstorm -> bonewall -> vulture(s) -> thunderstorm = gg EP but at what cost?

i advise against switching pillars for SCs
if you want, ditch arsenic altogether for a couple of SC and maybe 1 pillar
and definitely dont use death pendulum, theres really no need for excess air quanta

Sweet just pwned EP with deck in opening post (the unupped one with some upgrades). And won 2 cards in the spins

[Tea is good]

guys, wouldn't a skull buckler pwn ep?

Ye so does Permafrost, explosion is the big problem though.

Good thing about bonewall + thunderstorm is it counters explosion pretty well. It requires a combo though.

Dam, I was facing this deck in T50 because they had EP from the Oracle I guess, and it slaughtered me... Was using vNG...

[Tea is good]

I lied, the dictator's deck pwned. I had a few upgrades, but it was fine. (some bonewalls and a lightning storm)

Used the first one (all uped). Works great. EP destroyed 3 towers and I had some trouble with death quanta, maybe some Soul Catchers or more towers would be better.

Problem with Soul Catchers in this deck is that you want to be mass-killing his Phoenixes after you've played Bone Wall / Vulture / Boneyard.  Soul Catchers can't do that.

[tttt]

I couldn't play a Yard due to quanta issues. First TStorm I played with 1 wall and 1 condor, then proceded to play 1 condor/turn and beat him with 3 phat condors. I'm thinking 1 catcher will solve all quanta issues just after the first TStorm, e.g. I would be able to play a yard and 2 condors on the next turn.

[johannhowitzer]

It's also possible that Catchers will be exploded before Pillars, leaving you right back in the same position.  If you're slim on quanta, my recommendation is to cut back on Vultures or just strike the Boneyards altogether.  He is not going to kill Vultures easily if you play them the same turn you play Thunderstorm, and Boneyards are really just icing for a faster battle.
