CARD IDEA OF THE MONTH
Wolf

This month's Card Idea is Wolf | Wolf; review by our Idea Guru OldTrees below:

Quote from: OldTrees
Wolf is a Life creature card suggested by Xenocidius. It is a very simple card so this summary will be brief.

Wolves do not like being disturbed. If targeted by any effect (Lightning Bolt, Snipe, Adrenaline, Devour) all the other Wolves will attack the source of the effect. This has advantages and disadvantages.

The first advantage is the opponent will either be less likely to use control on wolves or be punished for their transgression. This provides a soft anti-CC effect in contrast to the hard anti-CC Quint provides.

The second advantage is that the anti-CC makes wolves better targets for buffs because the buffs are more likely to remain.

The third advantage is the anti-CC grows as the size of the pack grows. This provides synergy with creature generators like Mitosis and Fractal.

However there is a disadvantage. Whenever you buff or if you try to grow the pack, you will have to pay a cost as your wolves attack you. This disadvantage grows as the size of the pack grows.

In the end Wolf is a simple card with an elegant effect that has advantages and disadvantages lined up to balance each other.
DECK IDEA OF THE MONTH
The deck idea of the month is PVP Graboid Rainbow (unupped) by Antagon.  Deck Helper willng3 reviewed it.

Quote
Speedbows are among the most familiar deck types to both new players and veterans alike with hundreds of variants existing throughout the forums.  However, within those hundreds of variants lie many specific decks whose fame has caused them to become nearly synonymous with the term Speedbow itself.  In the unupped realm, that role defers to the PVP Graboid Rainbow.

Though PVP Graboid Rainbow may possess several individual nicknames (Antbow, Antagon's Grabbow, etc.), its use and power is far from disputed by its user.  PVP Graboid Rainbow manages to incorporate a blend of control and power in order to form a deck which manages to negate the strength of some rush decks and also is able to break through less capable stalls.  That PVP tag in its title isn't just for show, this deck has been a formidable opponent in PVP since its creation.

However, PVP Graboid Rainbow's use is not limited to solely play against PVP.  In fact, the deck is one of the most commonly used unupped decks against Bronze League.  The many strengths that PVP Graboid Rainbow brought to the PVP scene are also incorporated when facing the opponents of Bronze League.  It can also be used against level 3 opponents for some quick electrum, but its lack of speed in comparison to other AI3 grinding decks makes it less useful for this purpose.

During the time that PVP Graboid Rainbow has existed the game has changed and evolved, but the deck's abilities have remained largely untouched.  The biggest changes to the deck's potential arose in the form of the Deflagration nerf and the Nova nerf.  However, while the Deflagration nerf can be observed from time to time due to a lack of quanta, the Nova nerf is incredibly insignificant and is usually only observed when the player receives a starting hand of 3 Nova.  PVP Graboid Rainbow is sure to remain a force to be feared in the unupped PVP domain for quite some time.
