False Gods / Re: Most humiliating FG defeats

« on: November 18, 2010, 05:48:35 am »

Today's humiliating defeats so far: decking out because the FGs had 6 and 7 Feral Bonds out before I drew a Pulverizer; decking out because I went 20 cards without drawing a damage-dealing card; getting Rainbow for 1/3 of my games.

Never drew a single Druidic Staff.  I have my suspicions against the randomization in this game sometimes.

Two games in a row against Dream Catcher where I never got a second tower.  I know the computer is physically incapable of wanting to win, but the random number generator certainly wants me to quit.

Yet another humiliating defeat due to never drawing a tower.  This was against Osiris, who cannot pull off much of a quick kill: 18 cards, no towers.  Did 0 damage, because how was I going to hurt him?

You will see worse.    I have had no towers/novas and 4+ nymphs/shields in an opening hand.  3 (of 3) Quintessence in opening hands against Miracle and Ferox and more common than I would like.

I have this theory that auto-mulligan lets the FG pick what cards you should have.  And that Quantum Towers check your hand before deciding to go 20 turns without generating a single Water quantum...

I never drew a single tower.  A few turns in, I got a few Supernovas in a row.

Rainbow Decks / Re: (1.24) CC? Why bother?

Yeah, CCYB isn't exactly...reliable. I have actually lost to Neptune (gasp!!) due to a bad hand.

It's not that CCYB isn't reliable.  It's the perversity of randomness in this game.  I haven't seen Neptune in at least 40 games.  I switched to a timebow deck and one game could not use my otyugs because the Quantum Towers generated 1 gravity quantum in 23 turns.  I had over 20 of each of three colors the deck doesn't use.

edit: Up to 60 games with no Neptune.  Today's set has included going 18 turns without drawing a tower, against Seism ironically.

Just lost 10 in a row with a CCYB variant, woo!  1/10,000 chance, top that!  I even had Dream Catcher go 17 turns without drawing a Butterfly Effect, but I drew only one tower that entire time (12 turns in), and Dream Catcher drew that Butterfly Effect, two Black Holes, and a Quicksand before I got a second tower.  Top that for perverse luck!

I'm still quite new to the game. Is the Shard of Gratitude a rare card? I mean do I have to wait till I get 5 SoGs in spins before I can use this deck?

They are also a donor reward gift, 1 per $5.  There are two other types of Shards for donors as well, also winnable in T50.  Donor rewards come pre-upgraded for your convenience; won shards are unupgraded, so you will need the 1500 electrum each.

General Discussion / AI change: permanent prioritization

« on: August 25, 2010, 02:34:15 am »

For a long while, I have been relying on the AI's targeting Electrum Hourglasses over all other targets.  Last I checked, this AI rule is still standard advice in many deck threads ("Your other permanents are safe if...").  The AI has been upgraded.  I decked out after a FG used its last explosion on my Eternity instead of an Electrum Hourglass.

You are hereby warned.

Would someone post some statistics on this deck in v1.25 so I can compare with mine?

So far i've done only 24 games, I'll post some details if I hit 100. But as of yet it doesn't look like I'll get anywhere near 50% wins I'm still getting used to the deck though.

I have not been keeping stats, but I'm over 50% since 1.25 (using an altered version).  At the very least, I am making a steady electrum profit without selling any cards that I win; the frequent EMs with this deck help that.

While I have loved using a Purple Nymph in my version of CCYB, there is something really satisfying about eating your enemies and then using supermutants.
