EDIT: Either Eternity or Hourglasses will need to go, the Mark doesn't generate enough for both.

I'm considering adding Butterfly effect to V3.

Paradox is widely regarded as the weakest False God. He was one of the first Gods made (I think, I wasn't there), and hasn't been changed since then. He is the only FG to have more than 12 copies of each card.

He has a few weaknesses, namely: Blessing RoLs instead of Deja vus, CC on RoLs, slow setup, etc.

I got a bit carried away and inadvertently created 3 different versions. The first one resembles the current Paradox, with a few tweaks, the second one powers Twins entirely off its Mark, and the third uses instead. They each have Eternity, for some extra CC.

It seems inevitable that Paradox will either be buffed or removed soon, and I don't want it to be removed, purely because the combo is so brilliant.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Any ideas to give Paradox a bit more of a bite?

[Onizuka]

Power off the mark means either eternity or hourglasses.
Having both limits the effectiveness.

[WakSkylicker]

1. Paradox was not one of the first 
2. Just a suggestion: Have you tried a version with Luciferase and Hope? Works really well in even without special False God abilities.
3. What Onizuka said, Version 1 is way too tight on 
4. MOAR TURTLE SHIELD 

[TheIdioticIdiot]

paradox is not the weakest just saying...
he can sometimes get lucky and PU a mega buffed deja vu that has yet to use its ability, 4 large deja vus are quite scary...

neptune has my vote the weakest

[Xenocidius]

It depends on which deck you use ... Neptune owns RoL/Hope, but not CCYB. RoL/Hope owns Paradox, and CCYB does pretty well against it.

[Bhlewos]

I like Version 2 the best. V3 is a distant second mainly because I'm a bit iffy on changing one of its elements, it wouldn't "feel" like Paradox anymore...though of course that's not really a valid reason. How's the quanta balance for V.2 (if you've tested it already)?

[Xenocidius]

V2's actually the only one I have checked. It seems fairly balanced; he only needs 1 or 2 of each tower on the starting draw, and he gets more quanta long-term than the current Paradox.
