Rainbow Decks / Re: ivalmian's Rainbow SpeedDeck (kills almost all FG with elem master for v1.17+)

« on: February 25, 2010, 10:06:36 pm »

Here is a bigger version of the rainbow that has considerable similarities with the Ivalmians deck. Well, some patience is needed to play with this one, since battles tend to be quite long and epic . I have beaten all gods (except this very new, gaz-god) with this one, but unfortunetely haven't made statistics. Actually steal me be replaced by pulverizer (especially because of this gaz-god), but other components of this deck are in their proper place, in my opinion. (http://www.screenshotdumpster.com/view/m7Gbd48105/rainbow)

hm.. not sure about that alfatoxin...

anyways, vreely, are your stats for 5SD version holding up? It goes a little bit against me to remove druid and steal but perhaps you are right...

Vreely:

Have you considered running with just 2 Quintessence and then put the Druid back in?    Puppy in his thread makes the argument that you can run with just 2 if you are careful about who you use it on depending on the FG you are facing.

I actually tried about 30 games with only 2 quints.  The primary problem is that this is a 40 card deck, Puppy's is less.  It is simply too crucial to match a quint and an Oty as soon as possible, and removing a quint tended to create the match too late for when I needed it.

You have removed all permanent control from the deck? That's brave... but I really think there should be at least one card (Steal, Pulverizer, Druid) that can deal with a permanent. Even if it doesn't affect your win rate that much, it will allow you to win matches much quicker and create greater revenue.

Yes.  I alluded to this.  The deck is much slower without the druid.    However, I was going for win rate, not win rate per hour, which is harder to measure.  I would concede the point that this deck likely wins less cash per hour as the previous version.

hm.. you should try 5sd with 41 cards.. (it would take me like 2 weeks to do 100 games i just don't have the time )

General Discussion / Re: How should i alter this deck < it's boring now

« on: February 18, 2010, 07:53:37 pm »

Hey all, just grinded the graboid shrieker deck and was having fun so decided to go ahead and start to elite the whole deck. After upgrading to 6 elite graboids and an elite shrieker I'm getting bored of this play mechanic... and it's not faring very well against false gods. I also have 2 green shards, a blue, and eternity. Any ideas? I'd hate to sell all the graboids.. I've grown attached to the fellas.

Oh and I'd like a deck that would do well in PVP but still has a fighting chance against false gods.

since you don't have enough shards you might as well try my deck

i think you can remove steal but removing druid will at LEAST slow you down so much that you won't be able to win enough.. You may try a 41 card deck with dunsial added on top of the 40 card deck... changing steal to octopus might work.. although I dislike the idea...

Duo-Decks / Re: Vampire Dagger versus Morning Glory

« on: February 18, 2010, 02:01:21 am »

I know that adding light dragons to the deck would make my entire thread moot, but I just wanted to show an example of vampire dagger working so that people would see it's worth.  Instead, Ivalmian made an entire thread showing how much vampire dagger sucks simply to smite me.  I realize now this was a mistake.

I'm not smiting you! I just wanted to show that most people indeed do not see stiletto as very useful. I agree that your decks beats divine glory.. actually, most agro decks beat divine glory (if not any other god)

Anyways, I have nothing against you nor the stilettos, just since you didn't believe me I wanted to show you what the consensus is (and had I been wrong, that would have been fine too).

You actually added the deck then? Hahahaha, genious.

Thanks for that.

Just one more thing:
I don't quite agree that my deck is on the very bottom of the options.
This might imply that it would be a less sensible or popular choice than -say- Puppys deck or even Alaskas. So, could you move it up to the top or at least somewhere in the middle so as to not discriminate the deck-idea please?
Don't get me wrong, this is not about me or the fact that the deck bears my name ... it's just that this thread should be about general deck ideas and no idea should be valued more than another.*



*Disclaimer: Jangoo is currently in the mood for practical jokes. If this post pushes your buttons too far, just ignore it.

I don't think i can move them without resetting vote count.. also, who would you suggest at the bottom?

If we get more people adding decks.. I might just reset then I'll move older decks more down...

« on: February 17, 2010, 10:42:55 pm »

theres no useless rare weapon...they all can be used for purposes that pwn the other weps

This poll isn't about what is useless. Obviously nothing is useless. It is about what is the most useless.

to make is more explicit I changed the question to "least useful".
