Newbie FG Killing FTW

Quite good, but you don't show the decks and what to take out/put in with the "adding a few more" cards bit.

[Waterknight2012]

WaterKnight, if you go and follow the link at the top of the OP, you'll find a thread that has the exact decks that the community has developed to beat each of the FGs the most reliably.  This thread is basically a breakdown of the decks in that thread and how to buy them in order to maximize your chance of winning upgraded cards ASAP.

   Thanks for breaking that down.

For Scorpio the dim shield plus these cards should work.

Code: [Select]

5ia 5ia 5ia 5ia 5ia 5ia 61u 61u 61uOr rareless

Code: [Select]

5ia 5ia 5ia 5ia 5ia 61q 61q 61q 61q 61q

[Waterknight2012]

Honestly I should try it looks like a decent deck.

I'll playtest your idea when I have some time, ICB, and if it looks good (50%+) I'll put it out there.

In the meantime this list is now complete! 


Enjoy!

Don't worry I will.

ICB's has worked for me every single time, and when I got a couple SoGs, EMs were almost assured.

Side note: I wish we had this stuff back when I began making random decks to take on these guys...

[Essence]

Yep, I tested ICB's suggestion and it works like a charm.   Added to the thread; ICB, I suggest you get on majofa's case about gettign that deck put up in the Oracle: Scorpio thread.

There is an upped version in the OP, so he probably didn't bother putting up an unupped one.

First off, very nice work. This should have been around earlier 

Against Chaos Lord, I believe that something among this lines will do the trick:

Code: [Select]

4vc 4vc 4vc 4vc 4vc 4vc 4vc 4vc 4vc 4vc 4vo 4vo 5i4 5i4 5i4 5i4 5i4 5i4 5i4 5i4 5i4 5i4 5if 5if 5if 5if 5if 5ig 5ig 5ig 5ig 5ig
With this version,  it stands 4 wins(2EM, could have been three if I used antimatter more cleverly), 3 loses, but while that might have been luck, the general strategy seems to work. I also have a bit of an issue with quanta distribution, so there is definitely room for improvement. Get out a mind flayer before your first nymph to make sure he can't congeal it. Better have two of each kind in case he gets a mutant with devour or something similar. Normally, Druids and Maxwell's demon have priority for your flayers. BE is for the shields, maybe discord but don't bother with the rest. No water nymphs, you need the entropy ones for damage(yes, I mean it. And while I only had 20+ ttws, I didn't deck out yet).

Played a bit with the QI of this deck (http://www.quantum-index.com/Report/?code=4vc+4vc+4vc+4vc+4vc+4vc+4vc+4vc+4vc+4vc+4vo+4vo+5i4+5i4+5i4+5i4+5i4+5i4+5i4+5i4+5i4+5i4+5if+5if+5if+5if+5if+5ig+5ig+5ig+5ig+5ig+8pu)...I haven't played with it yet, but I got better QI results by removing 4 Amethyst Pillars and 1 Water Pillar, then adding 2 Butterfly Effects and 1 Nymph's Tears.

[The_GrimReaper]

Problem is, this totally doesn't take into account the actual entropy costs. You loose pillars because of nymph tears, pay 4 quanta for every antimatter (believe me, you'd be better of using many) and 3 for every destroy(which it does take into account).
Taking out a water pillar for a nymph tear might work, but it is crucial that you get out your cards early. Chaos lord doesn't leave any unupped deck much time.
Edit: Another win, another EM. This is looking good. 5 of 8 with 3 EMs it is now.
One thing to keep in mind: AI seems to steal the pillars on slot 1. Make sure you play the kind of pillars you don't need(usually but not always water) first.
And another win. 6/9.
