Rainbow Decks / The ULTIMATE False God killing deck!!!

« on: December 15, 2009, 10:09:47 pm »

lol, Your basic deck doesn't show 
And I decided to have 3 Oty's as well as a lava golem, I think in the long run, the lava golem will help me more than the extra card will

hmm.. I can see it. Did you try to refresh your browser? If it's gone then the guys at Imageshack failed.

EDIT: Yeah it's gone.. *sigh*.. I guess I need to change to something more reliable than Imageshack.

EDIT2: Ok, it's back.. Imageshack rocks!

Rainbow Decks / The ULTIMATE False God killing deck!!!

« on: December 15, 2009, 10:09:47 pm »

After playing (and losing) quite a number of matches vs false gods, I decided to modify the decklist a little to counter the problems I was facing.

Interesting deck and very good explanation. Nice to see that you have done something different because most rainbow decks like these are almost carbon copies.

I have to admit those 4 non-upgraded Rain of Fires did shock me the first time I saw them That's 28 fire quantum total which sounds a bit high but then again you have a bigger deck and it IS a good card...

Ice Bolt is another one that caught my eye. Personally I would probably take Congeal instead because it guarantees 4 turns of freeze. Or maybe take one each. Ice bolt is great to have later in the game but it is pretty weak during early rounds when rainbow is most vulnerable. Then again I have never tried it so.. maybe it works.

Vulture is something I had in early beta version but took out because I wanted more Bone Walls. But you can probably afford it so go for it. If you want to take something from earth it might be a good idea to replace the second Vulture with something like Graboid.

Yeah, like I said it looks interesting. Especially that Rain of Fire barrage. I have to try it sometime.

And don't worry, I'm not going to bite your head off

False Gods / What's next after the quests?

« on: December 15, 2009, 10:09:37 pm »

Fastest way is to grind level 3 until you have money about 1.5k. Then you can build your own non-upgraded rainbow deck (check forums for ideas) and go fight level 6 False Gods. Fighting Gods is hands down the fastest way of getting money and upgrading your deck.

Wow, a direct reply from the First Lady of Elements.  I'm honored.   And thank you, I feel more confident I'm not wasting my time. 

Lol, I didn't know I had that title. Thanks for that but there are many more seasoned veterans out there. I've only been playing this game for about 2-3 weeks. So yeah.. what I said about getting fast money might not even be true

False Gods / Automatic first go for false god fights?

« on: December 15, 2009, 10:09:37 pm »

You don't get first draw if you go first.

But you get to play out your stuff first, which should compensate for that missing card.

I don't see not getting that one card as a problem. If I have even one Pillar in my hand, I have an advantage imo.

Going first is especially good if you have Entropy as your mark plus Supernovas.

Not to mention the fact going first is a severe disadvantage to begin with.

Why is that? I would love to go first every time.

Ive updated "my" deck to your basic one with a fallen elf in exchange for lava golem. I like it better this way.

Thank you for the screenshots Hope my last post wasn't 2long2read ^^
 See you around

Yeah, thanks for your post. Sorry I didn't have time to respond earlier.

About that 55 or 60 cards.. in my experience deck size has a much bigger effect than you would think. It's only 5 cards but some Gods are really difficult so even very small changes in probabilities can have a huge affect. I've been saved by the last card numerous times, and with a bigger deck, that might not have happened.

When I started I had about 50 cards. I gradually added more and more cards until I had 60. Then my winning percentage went down a bit. I started removing cards and surprisingly my deck was doing much better with less cards because it wasn't so much about luck anymore.

It's very important to have couple of Sundials early in the game. If you fight against a difficult God and get no sundials, you will most likely lose. And because there are only 6 Sundials, the bigger your deck, the less chance there is for you to draw one early on.

I play with 54 cards which I find to be optimal. I usually end up winning with just a couple of cards in my deck which suggests that my deck size is pretty close to perfect. If I used Eternity I could make the deck even smaller.

I would suggest you try to cut down your deck size a bit. I'm pretty sure it will make your deck more effective. Just remember to stop drawing multiple cards very early on.

Yeah, Fallen Elfs are great. Only beef I have with them is that they use green quantum, and sometimes I run out with all the FFQ's and Feral Bonds.

Anyways good luck with you False God grinding and if you get any good ideas, post them here.

  I just upgraded my 4th hourglass 

Don't worry, I'm sure you'll do fine with 4 That's how I played for a long time but I think now that Sundials are fixed (aka overpowered), 3 Hourglasses might be slightly better.

Ok, I updated the first page. There might be some errors but hopefully not.

I'll just say my take on the deck.  (I have a few upgraded cards, but it'll take up more space if I differentiate them)

o 19 Quantum Pillars
o Fallen Elf
o 3 Bone walls
o 3 Otyugh
o Fire Bolt
o 2 Rain of Fire
o Mind Flayer
o 2 FFQ
o Imp Miracle
o 4 Hourglasses
o 6 Sundials
o 3 Steals
o 3 Dim shields
o Shard of Divinity
o 2 Feral Bonds
o Eternity

It has different strengths and weaknesses than the original deck.  I think it's more prone to sudden death (no novas, creatures are more concentrated in certain elements, esp time), but more forgiving of error or misfortune once it gets going.  Eternity is, in my opinion, entirely worth the cost of putting time quanta under more stress, due to its sheer versatility.  It can heal your own creatures by sending them back up to your hand, prevent deck-outs by the same method, de-buff mutated or buffed enemies, un-animate flying weapons, and stop particularly evil creatures (like Maxwell's Demon, enemy Otyughs or Ulitharids) from ever getting a chance

I'm thinking of taking out 1 golden hourglass (I always seem to end up with them clogging up my hand), and possibly putting mirror shield in, cos damn I love that card.  The reason for the fire bolt is because I hated seeing firefly queen's fire quanta go to waste, the reason for the second Rain of Fire is as a substitute for Plate Armor (reduces all enemy's hp by 3 = otyugh feeding time! xD).  So far, largely thanks to that mind flayer and fallen elf, I haven't lost to Gemini, and finally won an Electrocutor! So thanks for the deck, it's great - a vast improvement on the dive/bless/PU deck I was using for gods before, which could only defeat Miracle >.<

I see you don't have anything from Earth. You might want to consider having 1-2 Graboids. They are great fall guys and/or damage dealers. I also like Heavy Armor because it helps Otyughs.

Yeah, taking out one Hourglass is a good idea, especially now that they fixed Sundials. With 2 turn stasis there is not as big rush to draw cards as there was before the patch. I'm playing with 3 at the moment and I think it's better that way. Like you said, if you have 4, they can clog up your hand. I really should update that picture on page one.

Personally I wouldn't take out Novas. They are great early in the game, especially against Seism. It works both ways but I've had more success with Novas.

With a fallen elf, would it be better to mutate a strong enemy unit or one of your own units, like a skeleton or firefly

Depends on the situation.

I generally mutate my own skeleton because that makes the game end faster, but if I'm in serious trouble or there is a particularly nasty enemy character on the table, then I mutate opponents character.

Also try to avoid mutating characters who belong to a False God who also has a rainbow deck because he will be able to use the skills his mutant has, and you might give him something really powerful. I once lost a match after mutating Rainbow's character into a high HP character with devourer who then ate all my characters.

This deck is the deck that made the game fun for me again. Before it, all the decks I played (no-land stompy, mono-aether) either couldn't win at high levels or were super-boring. I thought you needed full upgrades to kill t50 or false gods, but this one works nearly unupgraded.

Just to give some hope to people starting out: I started at 15-25% win, but once I got enough to upgrade 2x Otyughs my win % went up to maybe 50%. Also, Maxwell's Demon + 2x Rain of Fire in the deck helps a lot when starting out. Sometimes you can't count on sticking a good Otyugh consistently, especially when you are relying on Otyugh + Heavy Armor combo.

Nice to see it's working for you.

Yeah, Maxwell's Demon might be better for non-upgraded deck because it's very good in defense against those enemy big guys. That's how I started but later removed it and took Fallen Elf.

Also 2 Rain of Fires is probably better than just one. And Graboid is working nicely too. I really should update that picture on page one.
