Wiki front page gets built automatically. There's no need to edit it (other than that introductory text on the right). If you want to add a featured article (in this case a card), you do that by giving the article a category "Featured" and adding an image to that one box on the right side of the edit window.

Dude, no. Fate Egg isn't a good card; it's UP. Check the "Buff This Card" forum.

I don't understand why Pharaoh is so popular. Seriously, I'd rather use Fractal Scarabs. Pharaoh is very expensive to summon (don't even mention Mummy; it forces you to use at least three elements), very expensive to generate Scarabs, and the Scarab HP buildup is nowhere near as fast as Fractal. Also, if anyone tries to replace Otyugh and FFQ with Pharaoh in a rainbow FG deck, I'll laugh.

So, laugh, it's good for health

I don't have an upgraded Otyugh nor an upgraded FFQ right now. I sold them a few months ago to make a Pharaoh deck and I never needed them again, nor missed them.

As for the Pharaoh vs. Fractal discussion, it totally depends on your main strategy. Pharaohs are great in stall decks, especially the ones using also Anubis to get an army of immortal scarabs. Doing the same with fractal is much harder, so you'll see more Pharaoh decks used against FG than fractal scarab decks.
In PvP both are viable options and a Pharaoh is usually a replacement for Devonian Dragon if you expect eg. Bone Walls. It serves then as a 'growing creature' adding 3 damage for 2 .
And the funny thing is Pharaohs work very well in mono decks, even without , just as a source of damage, though they work well also in duo, stall decks, and rainbow with time towers (eg. 8 quantum towers 8 time towers, or 8 time towers, 6 novas, mark).

There. You need to build a deck around Pharaoh, and you can't just stick it into SG's rainbow.

[Xinef]

You can, but that makes the deck worse.

The most basic adjustments you need to do after 'sticking it in' is throwing out Otyughs, FFQ and Fallen Druid (unless you plan to mutate scarabs) and adding Time Towers.

I've also found that such a build works best with 6 hourglasses and 2 or 3 Eternities, thus Flying Eternities replacing any Pulverizers or Eagle Eyes from the SG's rainbow.

Other adjustments just include minor tweaks like removing the graveyard, replacing rain of fire with plague, some shield adjustments, butterfly effect for permanent control, but it's still a rainbow mainly similar to SG's rainbow.
That is, the main stalling cards are similar, the quanta usage is similar except the increased production, only the creature setup is changed drastically, but that's obvious when you replace three creatures with one.



Anyway, I've tried a number of different approaches to FG farming, including mono, duo and trio decks, but still the rainbow approach with Pharaohs is the most effective, so obviously it's not as game-breaking as RoL/Hope

But wait, Pharaoh is rare, that makes it automatically cool.. right?

[Bloodshadow]

I'm surprised that so few people voted for Sundial. Guess it doesn't see as much use as it did before now, huh.

Technically a Relic is also a rare. Just like unupped shards. I think what makes Pharaohs cool is their relation to Scarabs
