Pet Advantage

[smuglapse]

I usually just ignore whatever pet I'm given, especially if I know what FG is coming--I just pick the optimum deck.

Today, the Oracle wasn't being precognitive but was adopting out a Deja Vu.  I figured I might as well try to use it to its full potential and created a modified rainbow rush with buffs:

I was able to buff and use the deja vu ability by the second turn and I think it might have saved me a turn, in which Destiny may have turned the tide.  (Or I might have been able to win without the pet )

Sometimes the pet actually gives a disadvantage.

for example, i once had a gnome rider pet and faced a top50 with chargers/otys. I was using fractal chargers, and figured that my chargers would be invulnerable against the opponent's oty... until it ate my gnome rider then started eating my chargers as well >_>

A Phoenix pet actually helped me outrush EP, if I remember correctly.

Wish I had taken a screenshot but one of the last pets I got was a phase dragon, not a bad pet to have at all

I figure I would go with a green version of Hope.

Code: [Select]

(http://imageplay.net/)It was a horrible draw, but I eventually managed to block all damage and then spam the Jade Dragons at the end.  I never got any healing save the lone Heal.

[kobisjeruk]

i'd probably put 2 feral bonds + miracle instead of the healing cards if i were in your situation

I had question marks for my pet and a "-" for my false god today.

Ended up playin Ferox with a green nymph, which was a super fast win. (I EMed btw...) Makes up for only getting 15 electrum from the oracle.

Today Oracle told I'll get Destiny. I decided that it's a good mediocre opponent to test my new Nymphomania-Time deck. When the game started I was positively surprised that I got free Nymph to table (Basilisk Blood ability, +0|+20 and can't attack for 6 turns).

I had quite bad starting hand, but after couple of rounds I managed to SoR+Quint that Nymph, and couple turns later I got Eternity. Destiny got 4 Hourglasses in that game so I wasn't able to Eternity-lock it, but thanks to the Nymph I won while Destiny had 2 Fallen Druids, 3 Fate Eggs and 1 Entropy Dragon at *|40+ at the end. (I didn't take picture, sorry.)

Lol I also got destiny as my oracle pick today, and I was running a mindgate deck. I was pleasantly surprised to see an anubis as my pet . Destiny is already easy with mindgate deck, so with every creature unrewindable it was just funny .

My pet chrysaora saved my life!!! (A.I. 5)
