Did they patch the game in the past few days or something?

Don't contradict yourself. If the prevalence are rushes, and the control cards available are creature "destruction", then of course a control deck will be viable.

Well I upgraded one of the pendulums (first time i ever upgraded a card). But beyond that, I don't really see anyway to improve it, beyond of course upgrading the other pillars and pendulums so I can start playing earthquakes and devourers quicker. Right now, I'm thinking I'm just going to use this deck as an effective way of getting money, I'll think about a pvp deck later. I would like a control deck, but from what I've seen, control decks don't really seem to be viable...due the prevelance of 'rush' decks and the fact that there's not too many 'control' cards available beyond of course creature destruction.

so you want creature control AND permanent control as well as a decent amount of damage in a 30 card deck? im pretty sure theres something called a controlbow, never used it though.

i dont think controlbows or 30 cards though.


like the other deck, i came up with a 1 minute deck, alittle tight on earth quanta, ignore the upped EQ's in your case. won a match against ai2. could have bad draws.

i would stick the the EQ'dev deck, having a deck with control in PC and CC plus damage isnt going to work a lot of the times in a 30 card deck.

First, your opponent most likely wasnt hacking.  Check the forums for the Desync error problem, it sounds like what you describe.

Yeah... that, or maybe ít was a simple Immolation rush. As always with troll threads, the comments make me much more sad than the initial post. :/

[Blacksmith]

I still recommend you to play the deck I posted on the page before, and note don't play pvp2 with less than 6 upps.

It didnt sound like it was immolation rush.   I play a couple of variants of that deck, and it would take an impossible draw to get end up with an ash eater and a dragon out on the first turn unless the immolations are upped.  If the are upped, I would wonder why they would play THAT deck with it.

I've tried your deck in a few games. It does win most of the time, though it feels rather haphazard. Shriekers are frail unless you burrow them, forest spirits and lycanthropes are also frail until you pump them, and even then they're still vulnerable to a reverse time, mutation, or pandemonium (then again, nothing stops pandemonium).

And as for that dragon deck, he did play immolation, twice, first time was on a spark, second time i don't know what, but i do think he also played a nova or two. If that was true, he could've generated a total of 34 quanta on the first turn (17 per immolation). But this would've required a total of 7 cards to pull off, and he also played 2 pillars, which doens't make any sense, you can only have a maximum of 8 cards in your hand at once....

2photons+ 2immolation= 12 + 2 of each
crimsondragon+asheater=11
1card remaining (2cards if he lost the coin toss); which is exactly what happened.

[Phestus]

Yep, you are right, I was thinking the crimsons were 12, not 10.  That is probably exactly what happened.

I was thinking 3 photons, 3 immos, a 12cc Crimson, and an ash eater for 8 cards, but I had the math wrong.  I dont play Crimsons in my immobow, 3 hps are bad.

A few games ain't enough, some testing requires 200 games but average is at least 20 games. Anyway it's a rush deck and you shall just rush with all you got, most decks got more than 4 CC cards and then it matters less if a few creatures dies.

[maximillian]

having just come up from nothing in the past few months I'd suggest you check out a few decks.  If you haven't seen monodark by regen2k9  I pretty much recommend it for AI3 or Bronze until you get more ups.

I'd also recommend FireCell OTK if you want to start hitting some of the False Gods.  There's a whole thread on it here.
