Rainbow Decks / Re: So Who's Building A Speedbow?
« on: February 02, 2011, 12:41:16 pm »
You should add a nova + immolation one, because the Stompy deckstyle is regarded as the fastest one of these overall.  When I am building a deck like these I do it the opposite way, usually start by adding in everything that might be useful and then making cuts down to 30 cards.

Also the upcoming change to Gemfinders will have us all rethinking our decks, so brace yourself for new waves of people posting the same ol' decks with a couple new cards.  : P
To the rest you, I'll get on it. Plastiqe, thanks for reminder. Whats up with Gemfinders?

ICB, it's pegasus based because I made that deck a while back and it's pretty solid. SCEM (jmdt) is a PSN rainbow but uses chargers instead of Pegasus and has gravity mark.

EDIT: Found out. I like it, but in a cremate/gemfinder deck it will be abusable. Now we just need a hope shield for earth :D

Rainbow Decks / So Who's Building A Speedbow?
« on: February 02, 2011, 02:47:00 am »
A quick reason of why I'm writing this:

A) It's a simple guide to building a PSNBow or a speed bow. These are rainbows.
B) Getting sick of seeing all the same decks. I will be sending you subliminal messages not to post your decks. If you do, I will hypnotize you and you will delete your forums account -evil laugh- :D
C) To help out.

Some quick terms:
Speedbow- Speed rainbow. Speed rush is a bit of a contradiction or double use, since they're mostly synonymous.
PSN- Pendulum Supernova. We'll get to these later.
SN- Supernova. Upgraded nova.
BLight- Ball Lightning
(If there's something I forgot, tell me. The obvious will probably not be put on.)

To Begin! :D

There are, let's be honest, a LOT of speed rainbow and Anti FG rainbow decks clogging up the space. A lot are re-hashes of former decks on the forums that people should really just should have said "Hey, this is my tweaked version of your deck, what do you guys think?" And then posted it on the original deck thread. I'll be honest, I myself have posted decks similar (although not the same) as others, such as PSNBow with Pegasus and Chaos Power that Higs (Higurashi) then said, "Oh hey, I have something like that, (link), blah blah blah). However, her thread had multiple decks on it and I'd never seen it before, but they were very similar. Liked the decks, though. Pretty solid. Back on track.... :D. So post your tweaks ON THAT DECK THREAD. DO NOT START A NEW THREAD.

To Begin With Deck Building!

We'll do this in spoiler tabs, because I'm quite clearly a spoiler noob and will take up multiple pages otherwise.

How to build an Immolation based rainbow.
Spoiler for Hidden:
In this, we'll go over Immolation based rainbows. There will be two types, Immolation Rainbows and Immolation Rainbows with Novas. To start, Immolation Rainbows:
In a Immolation rainbow, you will, painfully obviously, need some immolations. And something to immolates. I will try and build two versions, one upgraded, one not. The upgraded will come second. To start, grab 6 immolations.
Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9

Now you've got some immolations. Now, grab something to immolate. We'll go with photons. In an upgraded deck, I would take Ball Lightnings as they do more damage.

Deck import code : [Select]
5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5l9 5l9 5l9 5l9 5l9 5l9

So now you need your main damage. You'll probably want, you guessed it, Lava Golem!

Deck import code : [Select]
5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5fa 5fa 5fa 5fa 5l9 5l9 5l9 5l9 5l9 5l9

Now, let's get some supporting cards. We'll want cards that cost little to nothing, or are fire based. Let's grab 2 fire dragons, 3 fire pillars, and 2 fire pendulums.

Deck import code : [Select]
5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f2 5f2 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5fa 5fa 5fa 5fa 5gi 5gi 5l9 5l9 5l9 5l9 5l9 5l9

Now we have 24 cards. For the optimal rush deck, you'll want 30 cards (better guarantee to get the cards you need). Now, supporting cards.

Deck import code : [Select]
52q 55u 590 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f2 5f2 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5fa 5fa 5fa 5fa 5gi 5gi 5if 5l9 5l9 5l9 5l9 5l9 5l9 5og 5ur 8pm

So, add a graboid, arsenic, vampire dagger, (if you don't have the weapons, use an Other weapon), graviton fire eater, fog shield and mind flayer. Also, Earth mark. This is a very basic Immolation Rainbow, with a couple weapons and supporting creatures. Rush, and play!

Upgraded (Same process, only final deck shown)

^ After two games, ttw of 5. :D

Nova Bows
Spoiler for Hidden:
Nova, not Supernova. This will be unupped, totally. So, novabows: They often have 2-3 cost cards, and certain mark cards that cost more. We'll do a graboid based nova rainbow, but it should be broad enough to help you build your own novabow without posting it in a new thread on the forums.
Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 590 590 590 590 590 8pm

Some graboids, 6 novas. Earth mark. This is your core deck.

Now supporting cards. Notice these all are good bang for your buck, and are about 3 quantas each.

Now, add 5 precognitions and 1 time pend to get your finished nova bow. Well done! :D

Supernova Rainbow
Spoiler for Hidden:
Let's start a supernova rainbow! This will feature 100% upgraded cards and the cards will on average cost 2 or 4 quanta. OK, here we go:
Start with 6 supernova's, 2 Entropy pillars and 2 entropy pendulums. You can do 4 pillars/ 4 pends, but this is just an anti - earthquake method. Also, entropy mark.

6ts 6ts 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6ve 6ve 8pj

Alright, now add your damage source. We want vampire dagger for healing and the rest for damage. If this deck was supposed to get Elemental Masteries, I would replace all life cards with heals. However, we will go with rush.

All right, 6 cards left over. What to do, what to do. Well, we have cards from all elements except Time. So, precognitions! (precogs)

That's all! Tweak as you feel necessary.

PSN Bow
Spoiler for Hidden:
This will be upgraded, as you cannot have unupgraded supernovas (Duh?). So take 6 Supernovas (SN) and 5 entropy pendulums. Mark is light.

Deck import code : [Select]
6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6ve 6ve 6ve 6ve 6ve 8pq

So, we now have damage creatures. In a PSN rainbow, you have :entropy Pendulums and another main element. SCEM, which you can look up, uses gravity. I'll use light, and Pegasus (pegasii). So these are your damage guys, all cost ~4. Some less, no higher than though.
Let's add some support cards.
Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
6u2 6u2 6u2 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6ve 6ve 6ve 6ve 6ve 713 74a 74a 77a 7ai 7ai 7ai 7ds 7gm 7jr 7jr 7jr 7jr 7jr 7tb 80g 8pq

Alright, here we have added Chaos Powers: These can buff the Pegasii so that when they dive (dive= for one :air quanta, double damage done for one turn) they do more damage. Also, momentum to avoid shields and add a little damage. These are best on pegasus. Also, Improved Heals. These may get you an Elemental Mastery and double coins.

A Nova Bow #2
Spoiler for Hidden:
This will be nova based, no towers, but used Novas and upgraded cards. Yippe! :P
To start, grab your source of quanta; 6 novas.
Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj

Then, we'll want to keep creatures at ~3 quanta. So find some good cheap damage.

We'll go with poisonous stuff, so Physalia's and poison, so take Death mark. Now, 4 cards left over: Precogs! :P

This is a final version. While it is solid and doesn't get EM's, it can win in 6-9 turns. I usually don't use this kind of bow as I find myself lacking quanta, however with the Mulligan effect, you usually get 1-2 novas, so you can get most stuff out.

Immolation Nova
Spoiler for Hidden:
Alright, for this we'll do an unupped Immolate nova and I'll show an upped Cremate Nova.
First, quanta source: 4 Cremates, 4 novas.
Hover over cards for details, click for permalink

A Quantum Tower based bow.
Spoiler for Hidden:
With this, I'll have slightly higher creatures but it will be slower.
To start, no novas/supernovas/cremates/immolates.
This will be upgraded!

Now precogs to speed up and you're good!

Alright! Outta spoiler tabs! Ya! Wait, no.
Spoiler for Hidden:
Haha really? No.  >:D
Alrighty then, to review:

Rainbows have:
-Quanta source, typically cremation/immolation, nova/supernova, but rarely pillars.
-Usually 1 card from each element, or a way to utilize each element.
-Variety. Fun. Awesomeness.

AND: Please please please stop posting decks that are just tweaks. Please?

That's all. Questions? Comments?

I'll look into that. Maybe graboid, but I like steel golem. I dislike how much CC can do 4 damage really easy (lightning, shockwave) and most AI will have >10 quanta when they play a bolt. The unstoppable is nice mainly because it does avoid shields (water and phase in particular) and adds a little damage early on that adds up.

Threw this together, and I like it. Play out pegasus, use CP, dive, heal, win. Just another great PSN bow (Average ttw of 10 games was about 6.7)

EDIT: To hugs: Agree. I like yours, but you seem to have a control element I dislike in favor of rush. TNG: That graboid got murdered a lot. No thanks, but I'll try out a speed up combination.

Maybe you should make it a harm, embarras the opponent by beating them with these creatures ;D

Now if you were to replace the Scarabs I saw it that nice Scarab Rush with Gnomish Gemriders/Damselflies..... :P
You want harm with that? Let me introduce:

Zse, I had thought of something really similar but hadn't thought to use Dissipation Shield. Will put this up. Sorry bout kicking you out of t50, but I intend to move up :P

This deck is interesting, but it only seems to work against rush decks.  It is slow to get going so I lost 8 out of 10 matches against standard Bow decks in the top 50.
Dingo, are you playing this upgraded or unupgraded?

Second, it's for AI3 or AI5.

i say you could make due without the 50 health part but also a little situational, depends on what the opponent has AND you lose all dark pillars/towers would only work in rainbow deck or against a deck that is rainbow or darkness
To correct you:
You lose all :darkness Quantas. You sacrifice your towers for your opponents field.

And you do not lose mark, that's not mentioned but I thought it should be pointed out.

It could very well work in dark/aether deck, although it could be changed to steal a certain number of cards. I'm considering that, but that almost seems like a different card (and the fabulous art I've seen wouldn't work!  :o )
i never said anything about losing mark but what i meant in rainbow deck is that you had your rainbow quanta stored up to use the abilities of the creatures, you got lucky and got a darkness opponent so the drakness pillars in your deck wouldnt be as uselss from then on, or your opponent is rainbow (hopefully not pillarless) and has enough pillars to satisfy the rest of your deck,

hope i clarified what i meant
I think this could work a couple ways, you could use a rainbow deck, but yes, the use could be situational, as maybe you're mono, but tbh, it could make a great :aether :darkness w/ mindgates, the problem is you would lose all perms and whatnot, so it would be a semi early on card, OR a rainbow where you throw up some cheap stall, then imitate the AI (FG would be good for this too) and use your cards as well. Also

but I thought it should be pointed out.
