???s are Sanctuaries.

The God's basic strategy is to play a bunch of Jade Staffs, animate them, endow them with Crusader and play a lot of Sanctuaries. He stalls with Sundials to heal any extra damage being done.
The damage in itself is enough to overwhelm, but the healing is the really amazing part. Any decks that can block or heal Jade Knight's damage will usually deck out due to his healing. Sanctuaries render quanta denial decks useless and Jade Shield blocks spell-based decks.

I fought it using the two most popular anti-FG decks, RoL/Hope and CCYB. RoL/Hope saw the Crusaders endowing the Electrocuter for some reason. The damage was all blocked off, but I still decked out. CCYB froze most offending creatures, but also decked out.

EDIT: Added Life Nymphs to adrenaline the healing creatures.

This isn't very original. I suggest getting a bigger diversity in cards, instead of just put in 6 of this, 6 of that etc.

- Try blessings, to bless flyign weapons before endowing them!
- Try Mitosis + Leaf Dragons, to copy flyinf weapons or crusaders.
- Try Adrenaline or Life Nymphs, to fuel up those flying staffs.
- Perhaps some more Towers/Pendulums, Crusaders aren't cheap.

Any increase in diversity would be nice.

Why is the name Apollo? Apollo is the God of the Sun...

[Xenocidius]

Umm ... Wikipedia said he was also the God of healing ... Any other name suggestions?

"Jade Knight"


Deck is ok, but most people want a deck that is beatable...
Its annoying how all the Life cards can be played of mark only.
It has been suggested but this deck needs a little diversity, its pretty much a Paradox sort of deck right now.

Maybe a couple of Light Drags instead of a couple of Sanctuary.

[Xenocidius]

The name is a good idea. Changed.

I considered Light Dragons, but it seems to defeat the purpose of pure healing and takes up valuable creature slots.

And it is beatable through Rewind/Eternity, Electrocuters, weapons which the Crusaders will endow over the Staffs, etc.
