Hi everyone, old player just dropping in
I'm probably a noob by now, but I just decided to put out some old strategies that might not be known. I'm not liking this new trend of stacked rainbow decks (i made the first hourglass/rainbow strategy
) so i think its good to encourage other strategies.
Strategy #1Gravity Towers (very little needed, low cost cards)
Animate Weapon
Titan
Gravity Force
Optional:Reverse Time
Sundial
Novas for quantum
Note: this strategy is not expensive because the non-upgraded cards are already low cost. The only cards you really need to upgrade are Animate Weapon, and maybe Reverse Time, Sundial if you choose to use them.
Main Strategy: Fly your titans, with 8DMG/70HP, it dishes out a lot of damage for low quanta cost. The key to this strategy is to gravity pull your titans, with 70HP it can take a lot of damage from your opponent before dying. With 6 titans, it can take 70x6=420 damage once pulled.
Optional Strategy: I know having multiple titans is difficult (except for vets like me
jk) but you can reuse titans or even one titan (although the likelihood of drawing it will be drastically decreased). Anticipate when your titan is about to die (add the amount of damage your opponent is dishing out + potential cards in their hand) and then reverse time your titan. Then replay it the next turn and its back to a potential 70DMG control.
You can even use sundials for MORE damage control (or to keep your titans alive), but you can also reverse time an almost-dead titan, hasten it, then replay it - ALL IN THE SAME TURN, to avoid taking any damage.
I know this strategy needs to draw a few cards to be present in your hand to be viable, so you can add hourglasses (to help draw all the cards you need), damage dealers (titans may not be enough damage), and maybe even splash cards (since all these cards are relatively low cost, so you can easily play them all in the same turn with a few novas/supernovas.
Strategy #2If anyone has ever faced a veteran with a pillar called "Mark of Fire" or "mark of time" card (not talking about normal pillars), these "pillars" go behind the player's original mark instead of the pillar area. If all their pillars go behind the mark, you can't select it for Earthquake. This is not so much a strategy as exploiting a game bug hah but these rare cards arent in circulation so you'll rarely see someone with all "mark of fire" pillars.
Strategy #3This is a very old strategy,but I'm not sure if it's still in effect. Has near 100% success with anything but FG (can't deck FGs out). It's upgraded Dissipation shield + Quantum pillars. Use AE on it to secure your win, and fill it with serious creature/permanent control.
It can also easily be (and SHOULD be) incorporated into any rainbow deck, as your last move to stay alive with all the quantum you've built throughout the game. I sometimes end rainbow games with 1000+ quanta in total, so thats 1000+ damage it can take before breaking.
