For you deck should I say: This deck looks like you took half of Seism's deck and half of Obliterator's deck and added Nightmares, Gargoyles, and Dune Scorpions?

It is similar to other FGs, but I DO think it's a good deck.

[Krahhl]

Well you have a point if you want to put it that way, since we could say Elidnis is half of Gemini, half of Scorpio, slighty Ferox-ish, with Forest Spectres added.

I do think Mud is a good deck, but it is similar to Seism...

[majofa]

So what could be done to make it different, but still water/earth?

It has to keep the creature delay, Permafrost Shields, and probably the Granite Skins.
The Quicksands were for slowing down the quantum production, not stopping it completely.
I only put in 8 in a 100 card deck hoping that it'd be at most 1 per starting hand, with it usually being none.

Let me know..?

[Krahhl]

Well it only takes one or two quicksands to cripple a deck, as many only have 7 or 8 towers total. If they're restricted to playing one at a time, it's just not enough quanta.

Of course, then you remember supernova, and laugh at quicksands.

Basilisk blood, granite skin, congeal, and permafrost shield seems like enough slowing down. Nothing slows more than a permafrost shield, and a protected one at that. Nasty. Poseidon could stay, and is the best synergy water has with earth, but it might be too much.

Also, 8 is too many protect artifacts, especially as there are only 3 different permanents. Sure it guarantees that one is drawn early, but later they just clog up the hand, and a second turn protected Poseidon is the last thing anyone wants to play against. The deck has to serve its purpose, but it's not good if it's too hard.


For the name, I would try to find something that means "mud", but sounds more... less..simple. Like how Morte means "death". (I think.)

[Higurashi]

Obvious comment is obvious, but.. too similar to Seism to be implemented. Also, not fun to play against. Sorry man.

4 Quicksands and this deck is 'too similar to Seism'??
Look at Seism's deck and let me know the similarities besides that?

Didn't say the deck was. It's about playing against it.

[majofa]

Deck updated based on feedback and suggestions.. more is always appreciated.

Deck still needs a better name as well.

[WakSkylicker]

Hmm... how about turning it into poison stall with pufferfish and granite skin with poseidon? That solves the Seism / Mud dispute and possibly the name problem: Terratoxin... ok maybe not so much the name but nv

rough sketch that i randomly made in like 5 mins. Could probably do with some Abyss Crawlers but hey, protected inundation does seem kinda interesting...

Updated with further improvements.

[Krahhl]

I still think Poseidon can easily shut down most decks, especially protected.

I'd suggest switching the abyss crawlers for steel golems and basalt dragons for arctic dragons though. The golems have the same attack and cost as the crawlers, but three more health. Arctic dragons have a lower cost and higher attack then basalt, even if they are much easier to kill. But this deck does need to do damage, and the mark will ensure more than enough water quanta for the dragons.

Then you could even take out some earth towers, as all the earth cards are extremely cheap, other than the nymphs. The FG's double card draw will give a good chance of drawing towers early anyway.

I think you're a bit low on  production... Maybe change 3-6 pillars to pendulums?

[majofa]

The deck is supposed to be slow on damage. The 'theme' is like you're playing in MUD.  Everything takes longer..

If the damage output is increased.. this deck could be impossible, but as it stands, one Gravity Shield could hurt this deck. (every deck has to have some kind of weakness)

[jmizzle7]

Gravity Shield only stops two dragons. It isn't effective against 5 hp Pufferfish.
