Rainbow Decks / Re: Malduk's PvP2 rainbow

« on: May 26, 2010, 09:26:54 am »

You dont see much of a RoL/Hope decks in PVP due to them being relatively easy to counter. But yeah, when you do fight them, its a coin toss really.
Early Discord and rush with Lava Destroyer is pretty much a win. If they manage to play a Hope, you just want to momentum Lava Destroyer to finish things. It has actually more chance than other rush decks without AoE creature control.
But it works the other way around; early Electrocutor and Hope is pretty much a loss 

As for Lightning storm, it would be a great card against RoL decks, but way too situational for my taste. I dont really see THAT many RoL decks on average day. If I do, I usually just toss Fire Buckler in for farming, and take it out when I go back to PvP. This makes deck a bit imbalanced on fire quanta usage, but really, you have a brain and are fighting AI, you should be able to cope with an alien in your deck.

I agree lightning storm is a situational card BUT it is cheap (1 quanta) and have had it work in a few other situations (destroyers, getting an oty down to 4 so he can't eat my ulithirad, was able to steal a gas blow it up, lightning storm and take out 4 fireflies that would have killed me). I like fire shield but there are way too many steals in the T50 so i prefer not to use it. Typically if i lose in the T50 it's against RoL decks and the lightning does help a bit. But it is all preference. And i figured in PvP you won't see RoL much.

Scorpio just got much harder. Also Elidinis's pufferfish are no fun either.

I use Microsoft Excel. It's easier for me since i track all my stats in Excel as well. It's pretty tidy and i have over 20 decks on a page full of T50 stats.

Rainbow Decks / Re: FG Rainbow w/ SoGs, Supernovas, Entropy mark, 34 Cards, Permafrost, V1.22 Tested

No you .

Anyway, I reworked the title in accordance with the new fascist laws where everything we post is controlled by rules and such. /exaggeration (or is it ).

I'm still not happy with the title; there's lots of different versions of this rainbow archetype in the topic so actually calling it that isn't a good idea, but then if it's just "FG Rainbow Entropy Mark", there's lots of other rainbows that are also rainbows with entropy mark.

That's okay, it will always be PuppyChow's FG Farmer to me.

Here is Malduk's Spy post since we are only allowed these two threads in this area. Good work BTW.


Well, spies are part of every war 

While minding my own business doing T50 , from time to time I'm up against unupped decks of some Masters which were obviously testing those decks for war at the time.
So I'm gonna just post here what I see, and who knows, maybe it will be useful later on

Essence - Water   

He even admitted in chat that he's testing the deck.
It was water-aether combo including quints, fractals and water nymph. I believe the plan was to use nymph on aether pillars to quint all creatures, and creatures were mind flyer and squids (not sure if he had dragons). So lots of creature control, and I believe no perma control.
Shield was Ice shield.


Antagon - Fire   

Fire - Gravity deck. Pretty much straight forward deck - momentum on Graviton fire eater, with Rage and Fire shield. Also in spin I saw Armaggio - probably a creature to use rage elixir on, or a stalling creature until fire eaters gets bigger. AI used momentum + rage on fire eater, which is a fast hard hitting glass cannon.

Antagon - Fire 

Mark was death with fire pillars. No creatures, only direct damage.
Cards used: Poison, Firebolt, Arsenic, Bone wall, Rain of fire, Deflagration.Essence - Water 

Mark was entropy. Water nymph, antimatter, purple dragon, abomination. Really effective deck with all the entropy nymphs antimattering everything. I tried to stall to see the rest of the deck, but it killed me rather quickly.
Seems like essence is trying out all the combos with his water nymph.

I think BluePriest's Condor through the Lightning Storm deck is very effective.

Don't forget we can't use shards in this matchup.

Hi guys!

Sorry i haven't been around much so far but beyond a few moments here and there i haven't had anytime to focus yet. My laptop has also been bombed with a vundo type virus so fixing that has also been on top of my priority lists. Anyhow i think a good thing for us to focus on is what type of decks we will be facing and what counters we can use against those decks. Being that this is completely unupped save for the masters it does cut down on many types of decks. We probably won't see many flying decks and RoL/Hope/Fractal decks won't be around.

Please list your nymphs as well. I currently have 2 nymphs, amber and auburn which will probably be completely useless for us.

List your Rares: i have them all


Aether: Doubt fractal will be used here. But dim shields will be more then likely.
Counter: Death/Darkness with steals?

Air: Flying owl eyes, wyrms, FFQ's, fog shields, gases, all concerns here.
Counter:  What is nice that since FFQ's can't be upped we don't really have to worry about firefly's fueling gases.

Darkness: Fractal/Devourers all the way i think. Steals/Nightfall/Dusk shield.
Counter: tough tough matchup here. Easy for this deck to just lock you down. BUT we have poison and arsenics so i'm guessing thats really the only way to go in this matchup. Unfortunately they have steals too so maybe an earth/death deck with protect artifacts? Not sure on this one. Although i forgot since this is unupped devourers are only 0/2 so creature control is a possibility.

Earth: *sigh* how do we stop the speed decks of speed decks? I don't even think they need to get creative here. Just use your standard earth speed deck.
Counter: Some bone shields will probably help in here but i'm not really sure. Also maybe lightnings would help

Entropy: I find that this matchup is going to be tough. Discords will wreck havoc on many of the mono/duo decks. In one of my death matchups i packed 4 discords which literally destroyed his quanta. Antimatters are also going to be an issue here as well.
Counter: Explosions, low damage creatures. Possibly afla graveyard deck with explosions. Unfortunately these decks are slow.

Fire: Versatile matchup. They can go for a stall perm control deck or use a rush deck with heavy hitters.
Counter: Reflective shields will help most likely but not sure if needed. I don't think a no creature firebolt deck will be used. Fire shields can wreak most of our decks since we have no perm control so Theo's speed poison will probably be the way to go.

Gravity: Oty's, gravity pull, firemasters, gravity shield
Counter: well gravity shield won't be used against us since we have no creatures over 5 except for a flying arsenic. Oty's controlling the board will be tough so more then likely we need creature control. I would say a flying arsenic deck with air as splash but gravity pull would really sink this deck.

Life: Glitch will almost assuredly use some Light/Hope/Rustler variant. He could just use a standard life rush though
Counter: Plagues, Poison, Afla, any cheap creature control. Maybe a fire/death deck with RoF, Arsenic, Poison, couple dragons. If we use Afla or plague we probably go mono with graveyards with maybe a condor or two. Speed poison probably is a good deck though here as well.

Light: No RoL so at least they will need to use lucerifin.
Counter: Probably speed poison

Time: Rewinds, eternity, sundials, for stalls
Counter: Perhaps a creatureless time/death poison stall deck as well. 5 rewinds/5 dials/2-3 arsenics/bone dragon or two to drop on last turn.

Water: Squids lockdown deck, Water Nymph/antimatter deck
Counter: Plague, poison

Anyhow these are just for brainstorming ideas so we can kind of determine the necessary cards for the vault.

Since i don't PvP much i'm not sure what decks you usually face BUT if you use it for T50 farming i would probably swap out a thunderbolt for a lightning storm. Since i see a whole lot of RoL/Hope decks there a lightning storm typically ends up being a savior (especially since this deck has only one steal and no lobotomize in it).

« on: May 24, 2010, 07:44:47 pm »

Hi,
I started collecting some information on the t50 so i could farm faster.
To immediately identify farming decks i also started writing down the used pillars and numbers of cards, so i could abort a fight if I see that it's not the farming deck anymore.
As I'm farming using a deck that's quite vulnerable to devour, poison and eternity i also wrote down that and some other stuff.
When a row has no name it's the second deck the above one uses.
I'll update it from time to time, and fill the missing t50s in...

I likey. Well here's some info on my decks. I'm always a farm when i'm not on and typically i'm really not on that much (if i am it's usually between 12-2am Pacific). When i'm on i typically use Jangoo's speed rainbow with 3 black holes, 3 steals, no creature control. If i'm up for FG farming i use a time mark with a 52 card rainbow.
