Rainbow Decks / Re: MrSexington's "Rage Quit Deck"

« on: June 27, 2010, 11:54:04 am »

I was playing with my fire stall in champs league, keep that in mind, and my opponent made some comments that immediately made me think of you and lul, mrsexington. I used a fire stall with no creatures in it (obviously) and he asked me "are there even any CREATURES??", and i quoted you for fun "wow they must be in here somewhere, bad draw i guess", then he proceeded to RQ and say "i'm done with this you win" after i put out a 30-dmg Fahrenheit next turn.  Anyways, you and ragequitting will forever be linked in my heart. <3

Pics or it didn't happen...!

Yeah, it works on FGs.

The problem is that even if it won 100% of the time against FGs, it takes at least 5-6x as long to win each game (rough estimate).  You'd be better off FG farming with a deck that wins 50% of the time.  More wins per hour.  (And that's only if it wins 100% of the time, which it doesn't.)  When you use this deck, you're just wasting time.  It's only good for PvP.

Oops.

Didn't see that, but I remember now.

I did consider adding it before, but it becomes either Jade Shield or the Carapace and not both.  The Jade Shield can't be targeted and reflects burn decks.  And the direct damage decks feed off a deck like this.

(I think the Jade is a better fit.)

i have a couple of questions, why wouldn't fire shield or thorn carapace work in this deck? it seems like it would kill the aether decks.
 
and my second question is would it be wise to add arsenic in for the matchs you just don't draw the jade staff? i've done this and it seems to work.

Fire and Thorn would kill the malignant cells and kill the lockdown.  The point is to defend against the massive 1 damage pocks, but not to kill them.  (This is why Inundation is so great.  It leaves the malignant cells alone.)

An Arsenic isn't a bad idea.  I haven't tested it, but I figure it wouldn't be any good unless you drew it while you still had ~20 or so cards left if your deck, especially if they had SoGs.  So I would either do multiple Arsenics (2-3) or none at all.

if i ever make top 50 im going to annoy ppl cause this is my deck in game -1 explosion + one adrenaline for malig cells for fractal decks

That's kind of interesting for PvP.

But I don't think the AI will ever play it on an opponent's creature.  It'll save it for your (non-existent) creatures.

Air / Re: In Development: Wings | Wings

« on: June 23, 2010, 12:10:42 am »

with it having a time limit and low cost it makes me think too much of dimensional shield, and even then itd be weaker (even though it costs less and lasts longer). I mean can air have some more unique cards? (Shockwave weaker version of lightning) (Fog weaker version of Dusk) (Wings weaker version of Dim shield)

I would rather see it with an upkeep cost and a higher cost than a limited amount of effectiveness, or maybe even each turn costs 1 more for upkeep

It also costs half as much to play and lasts 2 more turns, but yeah I see your point.


EDIT:  Maybe it should be more similar to Flooding/Inundation.  Make it a normal permanent instead of shield/permanent, change up it's ability a little, and give it an upkeep cost of 3.  Like Miracle & Fractal are quanta wipe cards (with more on the way?), maybe Flooding and Wings could start their own cycle of cards with 3 quanta upkeep costs.

IDEA:  Each card in this cycle should do something that alters the play area, including graphically, like how Flooding adds the water graphic.

MY SUGGESTION: I'm not sure about Wings, but I'd like to see a Time card that costs 2 Time to play with 3 Time upkeep that makes each player's deck glow yellow around its borders.  "Each player draws an additional card every turn."  (This effect doesn't stack with multiple copies in play.

How would a purple nymph go in this deck?

It would work.  Other people have suggested other version with nymphs and quints.

But I want to keep my version creature free to keep one of my deck's features:

"A clean play area, convenient for writing messages in screenshots. ^_^"

Without that feature, something in the deck is lost.

::3 Months Ago::

great deck, i love it. maybe deck out decks will become the new main pvp decks?

::Today::

thank you for planting the seed for making the most annoying deck possible in the minds of people in pvp and t50 (it gets VERY annoying facing those......)(in case you didnt know, i typed all that hard to express anger, but then realized you dont really know that, until now)

Shame about granite skin no-one will scream hacks anymore and run to forums so you can laugh.

Yeah, the Granite Skin was just a "win more" card.  If you didn't have enough time to get over 20 Earth, Shard of Destiny was better.  If you had time to get 20+, you were already going to win.  It's the same reason I cut back from the original 6x Shard of Destiny.

(I plan on going -1 Phase Shield, +1 Wings when it comes out, just to even out the quanta.)

Today's victim is Bear1974 and he gave me exactly what I needed to test out my new toy:



Poison!



Wait... what?

An (exploded) arsenic and a single chysaora in a 60 card deck with quantum towers...?

(Maybe not poison.)





Little by little, the chysaora eats away at my soul.

Soon Bear begins dropping dragon after dragon and things begin to look grim...


...until I draw a card that will allow me to take out my biggest threat.



The chysora goes down, the existing dragons continue to invite some of their friends, but the cancer cells go to work.



1 turn away from sealing the deal and Bear decides to ruin my fun.



My permafrost shield delays the inevitable and freezes the troublesome nymph.

And just before the nymph is about the thaw, I get exactly what I need.





And we all lived happily ever after.









There was a little less quitting (and a lot less rage) in this story than what I would have liked, but remind me once more, why didn't I include Inundation when it was first introduced to Elements? 

When it was first being tested, it killed "neutral creatures" and everyone made Aflatoxin/Inundation decks in the trainer.  The "kill non-neutral" creatures clause was added and... somehow that convinced me it wouldn't work in the deck...?

*confused*

*shrugs*

I guess the world will never know...



(-1 Granite Skin, +1 Inundation.)

I never put more than 2 weapons in a deck unless I have Flying Weapons.  So I'd suggest to either take out one Poseidon or add a Flying Weapon (which would actually make it a target for SoR).

:entropymark



I skewed it back towards my original idea of the Heavy Fire/Cremation/Graveyard/Feral Bond build.  Instead of adding a 3rd Graveyard, I put in a Boneyard instead, to help (a little) with the Death Quanta.  Here are all the changes:

-3 (Unupped) Sundials
-1 Shard of Gratitude
-1 Cremation
-1 Fire Queen
-1 Electrum Hourglass

+1 Boneyard
+1 Supernova
+1 Feral Bond
+1 Fire Storm
+3 (Upped) Sundails

Time Mark --> Entropy Mark



Here's a Phoenix-less win over Ferox.  Yeah, it's just Ferox. 

I also beat Chaos Lord, but no screenshots.

(I'll updated the original post when I have a version I like.)
