Trio & Quartet / Re: Nymphomania (anti-FG) + stats

« on: March 11, 2010, 03:51:14 am »

As the guys said above me.  I tried a few different versions...It's a nice change of pace vs the standard Rainbow.  But it's unfortunately not any better.  Probably worse.  The standard upgraded rainbow can beat most any FGs, and the easy ones almost every time.  This deck you have to skip a lot of Gods.  The problem i've noticed is that you have no defense until you get your antimatter.  Which requires, against most gods, 3things to happen. 7water 1am tower and a quint which means you need aether tower up for awhile.  by the time you got that out you've definiately taking some dmg...but will one anitmatter be enough to stave off the next few rounds while you build up more nymphs?
This deck is great against FGs it can beat, and works really well if you get good draws.  It is definiately, again unfortunately, not better then the standard rainbow against FGs.

Right now I'm using the exact deck, but 3 SoGs and one miracle.  And I find myself needing more quantum with only 2-3 towers out most of the time.  Maybe it's just bad draws but I just lost to several of the gods you deemed 5/10 and below...simply because I could not get the quantum to eat or use cards.

You want no more then 45cards.  And that's pushing it.
Cut out
2 D shields
1 fareinheit
1morning star
1 flying weapon
2 sundials
1 hourglass
1 steal
1 grey nymph(not useful in this deck)
1 mindflayer
1 laval golem
1 graboid
2 pillars
3 novas
1 blessing.

And that will get you a 41card deck.  Add 2 quint's 43cards.  Once you get it, trade your weapon for eternity.  Cut that down to 30-35 cards.

Deck Help / Re: Help with my AI3 mastery grinder.

« on: February 24, 2010, 02:07:19 pm »

First of all, we'll need to trim the deck down to 30 cards to increase consistency.

Then we'll get rid of some cards which don't quite fit in with the strategy of Vampire masteries. The three Black Dragons will be the first to go, followed by three of the Obsidian Pillars, two Steals, two Devourers, and a Drain Life.

In their place we'll add two Emerald Pillars, three Adrenalines, a sixth Minor Vampire, and a Dagger. We'll also change the mark to Life.

The Adrenaline (mostly fuelled by the mark) has a very nice synergy with the Vampires by allowing them to gain multiple life-draining attacks per turn, and the Dagger is some more free damage that also serves as Steal/Deflagration bait so that your other permanents are protected.

The final decklist looks as follows:

Mark of Life

1 Dagger
2 Emerald Pillar
3 Adrenaline
11 Obsidian Pillar
2 Devourer
1 Dusk Mantle
1 Steal
1 Nightfall
2 Drain Life
6 Minor Vampire

I would agree with pikachu on changing to life, and using adren's to get mastery.  It also depends on what weapon you have.  You probably want to get eternity just to use it later in your FG grinding deck.    Otherwise use a sword from bazar.(pointless to use dagger instead of sword).  Here is my recommended deck for what you want:

Mark of Life

1 Sword
1 Heal
3 Adrenaline
10 Obsidian Pillar
2 Devourer
1 Parasite
1 Dusk Mantle
2 Steal
1 Nightfall
2 Drain Life
6 Minor Vampire

mark of life is enough to fuel adren's and heal.  Adren you use early, and it will only take 4turns to be able to use 1.  Heal you will use late, and possibly right before the killing blow, if it will get you mastery.

Rainbow Decks / Re: PuppyChow's FG Rainbow

I only have one SoG right now, and I'm starting to think this deck NEEDS those just to compete.

Yep. That's why you've been having problems. The deck relies on getting an early sog or two to stall until you get what you need, which hopefully isn't very long if any time at all.

Without them, you need more of a different kind of stalling like phase shields or dials.

Any suggestions if we only have 2 SoGs? =)

Deck Help / FG Deck..tips?

« on: February 23, 2010, 08:31:05 pm »

I think this is a modified PuppyChow's FG Killer.  Which I'm not sure if it's basically SG's deck + supernova's and mark entropy.  But here it is:

Mark: Entropy
(in the original deck idea there are 4 shards, but i do not have 4 shards)



Not sure what to upgrade anymore either.  I'd like to possibly add one more supernova, and one more shard, and take out maybe the Bond and the un-upped wall.

General Discussion / Re: Built In Game Limitations / predictable wins spins loses

« on: February 09, 2010, 02:23:55 pm »

First let me say I am not making this up.

I started playing this game about 3weeks ago.  I've had over 600games.  I mostly played t50 over and over...Just this week started Grinding FGs.  Before that I had won a couple morning stars and ONE shard from t50s.  Never won anything worth noting from A3.  Anyways, a couple days after i started I got my friend at work playing.  He probably has 200games.  He has won 5shards(not lying), 2eternities, a pulverizer(his weapon was ferenheit), many many other rare cards.  And since we upgraded to FG killer decks.  A couple times he has won TWO cards on his 3spins.  I attribute everything to luck, but that's the problem with this game...my deck is only as good as his because ive played 5x as much. If I was as lucky as he is, shoot i'd have 2 fully upgraded decks by now.
Wish there was a way to balance out the luck factor.

I can't seem to get a freaking eternity either.  Been playing for about 3weeks now.  Over 600games played.  Not one eternity won.  BUT..i do perfectly fine vs FG's with my deck(even before a lot of these upgraded cards)
Here's my deck if you're interested. (Basically a modified version of "ScaredGirl's un-upped FG killer".

(http://www.screenshotdumpster.com/view/m7Gbd44913/deck1)

I usually just leave vs Rainbow..waste of time.  Seism I leave if i don't get enchant quickly.  Scorp depends on what poison he draws first.  But most other Gods if I don't get a terrible draw(and a couple if i do) I win about 60%.  And if you lose...you lose fast.

False Gods / Re: ''Improved steal'' in 40 card deck rainbow against FG

« on: February 08, 2010, 09:16:55 pm »

At first I thought you might be referring to an improved steal, vs a normal steal.  Because that's true...I've RARELY had the 1 quantum make a difference.  I've not upgraded my steals, I've just won them and used the upgraded instead...But not having steal at all?!  That's ridiculous. =)  Very un-smart =)

Deck Help / Re: Some advice on my Rainbow deck plz

« on: February 08, 2010, 04:41:11 pm »

I think what you need is a thinner deck. The Sundial was nerfed so you might want to draw another Sundial/Shield faster. Making a thinner deck will let you draw the key card more quickly.
So, this is what I would do

1x Boneyard(I wouldn't upgrade this one)
6x Sundial(non-upgrade)
13x Quantum Tower
1x Supernova
1x Bone Wall
2x Elite Otyughh
2x Protect Artifact or Enchant Artifact
2x Feral Bond
1x Fire Storm
1x Elite Queen
3x Electrum Hourglass
1x Eternity
1x Improved Steal or Steal
2x Phase Shield
2x Quintessence

This deck has 80% above chance to win against Chaos Lord, Fire Queen, Destiny, Incarnate, Miracle, Morte and Ferox.

Or go look at ScaredGirl's Rainbow (un-upped) FG killer deck.  Pretty much what he just told you to make.
