The immortals know no care, yet the lot they spin for man is full of sorrow; on the floor of Zeus' palace there stand two urns, the one filled with evil gifts, and the other with good ones. He for whom Zeus the lord of thunder mixes the gifts he sends, will meet now with good and now with evil fortune; but he to whom Zeus sends none but evil gifts will be pointed at by the finger of scorn, the hand of famine will pursue him to the ends of the world, and he will go up and down the face of the earth, respected neither by gods nor men.
 - from the Iliad

Pandora opened the urn filled with evil gifts, and left everything that was inside it spread into the world. Mankind seemed doomed, but lastly, in the hands of the woman, remained the last of the things contained in the urn: Hope.

This deck revolves around Flying Discords, Pandaemoniums and Hope. Strong defense, Discords screw the opponent's quanta badly, Pandaemoniums to kill opponent's creatures. It's a deck that I created based on a theme rather than efficiency, while keeping an eye out to not completely making this suck. It's not the strongest god out there, but it can hold its own.



EDIT: since I'm applying this for the new competition, I'm probably going to change this a bit. Well, a lot, actually. Maybe. I don't know. Anyway.

Wow...that's hot.  IDK that it would actually end up being much of a threat, but the backstory alone is worth a Karma.

[The_Mormegil]

Woot!

Anyway, I don't think it's easy. CCWB will probably just run over this. Quinted Destroyers growing to madness, and the damage of this god just can't cut through the healing CCWB has. Timebow can use Quinted Otyughs to gain control of the board and slowly kill Pandora. But RoL+Hope would autoquit this god.

The main point to this god is that it would completely destroy any mono or duo or even trio deck thanks to massive use of Discords. Most FG decks are rainbows though, and that makes it a lot easier. Mass CC is always hated though, and Pandemonium can have surprisingly disruptive effects. And if a Hope is up high enough, there are some problems for everyone.

Maybe the lack of rushing speed is a problem. Divine Glory is slow, this would probably be even slower. But I think it would be that easy to meet.

I'm going to apply this for the competition. I thought of changing it a bit, though: adding a few cards that match the "every evil in the world" theme.

Some Supernovas, then Plagues, Quicksands, Fire Storms, Floodings, Nightmeres, Thunderstorms... Maybe. I think this is good, and definitely thematic, but may be improved a lot upon. What are your suggestions?

But RoL+Hope would autoquit this god.

SoG's keeps it alive against pitiful damage, and Pande will leave many RoL's alive. It doesn't even have to save one in hand, because the FG it's fighting has them. Lobotomize the Rays. No, I would never quit against this FG. I'd win more than I do against Eternal Phoenix or Graviton.

[The_Mormegil]

Hmmm... SoGs help. But Pandemonium would kill any ray unless it:
A) Lobotomize it (even worse)
B) Freeze it (ok)
C) PU it (ok)
D) Rewind it (almost the same as killing it)
It would kill or incapacitate about 4/5 of the Rays... But you do need just 6 out. So I guess you are right.
