Duo-Decks / Re: Bad memory - Haunted by your past (duo time/darkness T50)

« on: March 12, 2011, 01:13:38 am »

I've encountered this (or similar versions) in t50 and enjoyed playing against it. So, then I had to go make my own ...

Thanks for posting this thread.

Archived Decks / Re: Eternal Chaos (with some stats and a guide for grinding FGs)

« on: February 14, 2011, 03:11:20 pm »

Ok, great deck, but I'm baffled by the statistics for Dark Matter and Decay.

For Dark Matter, I've only ever seen one game in which he didn't use black hole every turn (first via card, then nymph). There was one, special game in which he didn't and I managed to get my turtle shield, eternity, and some shards out. But at that point, he had about 4 chargers, two angels, etc., and there was no way to fully keep up. I'd love to hear some more specific strategies for how you get a 75% win rate. It's all well and good to suggest using antimatter on chargers and rewinding nymphs, but ... that's a bit difficult if he's spamming black hole every turn and I never have quanta.

For Decay, I see how to beat him and I came close once, but that was only because I got a scorpion/chaos power out on my second turn. Still, he had no problem chaining drain life and keeping ahead of the poison. I saved up towers to play shards, but he cheerfully stole these. I suppose I could have saved up quanta for some "bait" hourglasses, but it's not like I had quanta to spare or the time to waste doing it since he was busy killing me.

Anyway. I love the deck, but I'd love to hear some more specific strategies for these gods. They easily wipe the floor with me every time.

Since my last post, I have received:


This makes me total count:
 

I'm kinda ready for something other than air and fire nymphs, now ...

Rainbow Decks / Re: Lone Stalker [1.26 FG grinder]

I've added a second mindgate. It's often overkill, but I hatehatehate games in which the mindgate is the last or second to last card. Two mindgates solves the problem. I've also considered adding a "rewind" card instead of a 2nd mindgate. This would serve the same purpose, but also can be used offensively in a tight spot. That said, I think the 2nd mindgate can be more useful and sometimes speeds up games.

It seems to work well. Most games take fooooorever, but whatevs, it's strangely entertaining.

Thanks for the deck, Zse. I'm just testing it out and I'm really enjoying the way it spices up each game in comparison to CCBY.

Archived Decks / Re: DoSA - Fractal Retrovirus (FG grinder 1.26)

Good points, Zse. I started skipping more gods and I definitely started to get my win ratio up. This is a very fun deck, but that's balanced by the lack of fun, two out of three times, in having to click on five different spots of the screen just to get to the next god. Despite that annoyance, I'm still enjoying messing around with the deck ...

I'm having terrible, terrible results with this deck. It's incredibly fun when it works, however. I feel as if I'd doing something wrong.

Using DoSA v.1.1 (fully upped), my first 20 games:

Game 1 - Morte (lost) - Could not overcome his bone wall.
Game 2 - Morte (skipped)
Game 3 - Dark Matter (skipped)
Game 4 - Gemini (lost) - He played lobo first round.
Game 5 - Ferox (lost) - Successfully rushed me before I drew a bone wall.
Game 6 - Seism (lost) - Only drew one retrovirus. He rushed easily through the one bone wall that I drew.
Game 7 - Graviton (lost) - Exploded my lobo/shards. Killed without drawing a single bone wall.
Game 8 - Graviton (lost ) - Variation on the above.
Game 9 - Elidnis - (EM win)
Game 10 - Ocatine (lost) Firewall kills retrovirii instantly. Unstable gas ignores bone shield. Yay?
Game 11 - Incarnate (win) - He got me to 1 hp by turn 3 but he never played bone wall so I had a come-back win.
Game 12 - Dreacm Catcher (lost) - Black hole + destroy + discord = fun fun fun! 1 death quanta per round is not enough to get anything out (and his CC kills any retrovirii anyway).
Game 13 - Gemini (lost) - He played lobo 2nd round and killed me before I could fractal a virus.
Game 14 - Miracle (lost) - Goofed up and made a retarded mis-click which cost me the game. I would have won this one.
Game 15 - Seism (lost) - Killed before I drew a single bone wall.
Game 16 - Miracle (lost) - Rushed with blessed dragon and killed before I could play bone wall.
Game 17 - Graviton (lost) Repeat of previous matches.
Game 18 - Rainbow (lost) - He killed me before I drew a single soul catcher. Yes, you read that correctly.
Game 19 - Eternal Pheonix (lost) - He killed me before I drew a bone wall.
Game 20 - Scorpio (lost) - Multiple early ulitharid's meant that I only ever successfully used one virus. I DID have four fractals in my hand after six turns. Yay!

I wouldn't call this an FG "grinder" quite yet. Thanks for posting, though. Very, very fun on the few occasions that it worked. I found I was either starved for death quanta or simple unable to get a bone wall into my hand. I'm hoping that this can be turned into a more consistent winner.

Just got a dark nymph. Hm. I don't feel like any of these are super useful on their own ... perhaps I just need to get creative (or get a few of the same nymph).

Still scratching my head on how to actually USE these, but yay.  I got the fire nymph a long time ago and then have gotten nothing for a very long time until golden nymph today.

Huh.  Just got a green nymph this morning.  I guess I'm finally getting lucky after weeks of bad luck.

So:
