The year is 1984.  Here on Airstrip One, there is only one thing of import, that is the State.  You have no voice; Big Brother silences everyone.  You cannot hide your thoughts; Big Brother reads your mind.  If you commit a thoughtcrime, Big Brother will lobotomize you.  If you try to fight back; you will be neutralized and reintegrated into the system for the good of the State.  Big Brother never lets his defenses down.  You are stuck in an eternal age of mental darkness and repression.  Welcome to Oceania.

113-word description
Since most everyone else is going for a medieval Dark Ages theme, I decided to go in a different vein.  This one is based off of Orwell's mentally repressive society and in particular, the Thought Police.  With all the Mindgates, the FG uses the player's deck against him.  He also uses cards like Phase Shields, Silence, and Purple Nymph to buy him time to setup.  Supernovas power everything gotten from Mindgate until whatever quanta producers in the player's deck can be gotten.  Dragons are there as backup damage.  It can be a little slow to setup, but the double draw will help.  Once this deck gets going, it can be hard to overcome.

I can imagine this Fg replacing his Hope shield with phase shield when vsing a RoL/Hope.

This would be a really fun god to play.

There is something very disconcerting about seeing what your next card will be because your opponent just played it.


4 Purple Nymphs on top of 4 Electrocutors is just plain mean though.

I really like the way in which you have interpreted 'The Dark Ages'. The deck and concept fit together perfectly.
I'm not too sure how to go about making a counter to this deck. Nightmare might det some use, and alternate damage will probably be necessary, unless you rely on quints.

The problem is how to go about playing against this deck. It looks awesome, but honestly I think it would seem a bit depressing to get locked down against. Good think there is no perm control or healing, or else this deck would be too evil. I like it now, but I know if it makes it in I'm going to change my mind very quickly.
Good work   ;D

It's too bad that Phase Shield stops Antimattered creatures from healing you, or that combo would be pretty brute.

All told, I like the idea, and I love the creative reinterpretation of the theme.  This will probably get one of my votes, too.
If something happens and you think it deserves my attention, feel free to PM me. Other than that, I'm probably here if you want to shoot the breeze.
