The nerf's don't seem that big at all but these slight differences do make a difference in the percentage of your wins. Anyhow i've modified the deck a little bit more but am not really sure how well this works yet and i've expanded it to 41 cards of which i'm not even sure if some of these cards are even useful but this has worked the best for me so far.

Anyhow i'm 19-10 (65%) currently with this deck but lots of easy FG's mixed in. Here are my changes.

+2 grav towers (1 probably would be enough but i like getting that extra tower in early)
-1 bonewall(hate losing a bonewall but something had to go)
-1 sundial(took all of them out but decided 2 in the deck is a better way to go)
+1 hope (this is the card that i'm still deciding on. It has made a difference in certain games but not so sure if having this as an extra card hurts)
-unupped FQ instead of elite (obviously since i have hope)

Even though it's at 41 cards with 2 sundials the draws are reasonably good and getting that gravity tower out does help get the oty out that much quicker and allows it to feed at will.

I've been messing around with Yadalie's deck and using the light/hope deck but have come to the conclusion that this deck still works better. The light/hope deck IMO is fun but by far is the worse deck of the three for me.

After the extra testing and statistics recording, from 130th game onwards, the record has been hovering around 58% win rate, therefore I believe this is the final status of this deck  :D

100th post ~~
I think 58% is a little high though and 150 games total really is still a small sample size. With a few more games vs. some of the FG's you have hardly faced, Obliterator (2 games - 50%), Octane (4 games - 50%) and Hermes (3 games - 33%) the percentage may fall a little more.  You've also mentioned in the thread that you have had a nice run of FG's and your stats bear that out as well. 30.67% of your games are vs the "bad" FG's and the percentage should be around 38.5% (this is through my own testing vs FG's of over 2000 games played).

But with that said thanks for all your hard work and putting up your deck.

The pet has helped me more on one occasion. I've had a ruby dragon which won me a game and i also had a parasite once vs. graviton which was nice since i had an early oty quinted (3rd round) and i was able to infect three creatures in the first 3 turns before it died which allowed my oty to grow where it otherwise would not have.

Most of the time though the pet ends up being useless and actually made me lose once vs gemini because of user error. Had a forest spectre that i mistakenly kept growing. Soooo on turn 7 or 8 i ended up having the spectre TU'd 4-5 times when i already had the board controlled.

Also, can anyone post what MrBlonde is using if he isn't reading this anymore? I got lost with his changing this for that. I can look but I figured I'd ask first.
I was using Puppy Chows original deck with 3 upped sundials, graveyard instead of boneyard, 2 improved antimatters, and 1 Feral Bond swapped for a SoG. Really don't care for the deck with 1.21 and am trying to find a better deck to use right now.

wat do you get if you donate to the game???
Quote from: Wikipedia
A donation is a gift given by physical or legal persons, typically for charitable purposes and/or to benefit a cause. A donation may take various forms, including cash, services, new or used goods including clothing, toys, food, vehicles, it also may consist of emergency, relief or humanitarian aid items, development aid support, and can also relate to medical care needs as i.e. blood or organs for transplant. Charitable gifts of goods or services are also called gifts in kind.
You're donating, you're not paying for anything.
obviously you arent paying for anything but a promotional card if you donate is a good way to gain a lil cash to keep the game going if you dont offer anything for ppl who donate then why would anyone give money away for free
To keep it free possibly? To keep Zanz working on improving the game? Because you enjoy the game that much? And people give away money all the time for free. It does happen you know...

About the diamond shield, you just draw until you get a pulvy or steal so you're ready. It's rare that he plays the shield and protects it the same turn. And if he does, you rely on mutants (and rely on the rewinded mutants to stay alive).
Everytime I can remember playing him (at least 5 times in recent memory), he'll have a PA'd Diamond Shield in the first few turns.  Combine that with the fact he Quicksands every last one of my towers, and I find him almost unbeatable.  I usually quit after two or three turns.  Maybe it's just my luck.
I know this topic has been discussed before but it does seem that random events do seem to be "non-random" at times. I know they're weird FG randomizer issues at times as well (for instance today out of 21 games i've had Scorpio(7), Ferox(5), Paradox(3), Octane(3), DG(1), DM(1)). I've restarted, cleared my cache, played on kong, played back here and still seem to be getting the same FG's.

Most incidences are just coincidences but i do find that certain draws/events seem to cluster.

No, you can have as much electrum as you want. I currently have over 100,000, so it is definitely possible.
Awesome. I've been holding back selling cards so i guess i don't have to worry about that anymore. Thanks.

I'm not much of a PvP player but i would gladly fight for the US if needed or as an alternate.

Saving up electrum for the next patch and was just wondering what the max was. The trainer does not allow you to have more then 99,999 so i was wondering if this was the same in game.

I disagree with this too. Sure, stop drawing as soon as possible, but still play an hourglass. The extra drawing is many times the difference between life and death since you pretty much need a quinted oty, at least a couple SoGs, and your permafrost shield.
I've just found whenever i've used the hourglass in this matchup it tends to get really sketchy near the end. I probably should not have said "never use it". I try not to use it unless i really feel i need to though. With my 3 dials in the deck i do have that extra drawing power. I admit i may not be playing Seism optimally and may be playing him a little too safe.

About the diamond shield, you just draw until you get a pulvy or steal so you're ready. It's rare that he plays the shield and protects it the same turn. And if he does, you rely on mutants (and rely on the rewinded mutants to stay alive).
I just find that with the limited quanta in this matchup i can't afford to have my mutants rewound because i typically won't be able to play the ones that actually have high damage and can make a dent in the shield.

thanks, mate. BUMPed it, for the holy sake of it. hope it'll get in 1.21 or 1.22 - my ear's already hurt so much...
Hmmm... apparently a lot of rage going on about the music. Honestly i don't even notice it at all and when i do at times i find it... pleasant. With that said having a music option should be implemented.

i think for "normal" rares its no problem to get 12, but nymphs are rare enough, you shouldnt need more of some (cause upgrading doesnt make sense with any nymph)
That's not true at all. The earth nymph upgrades from 0/3 to 0/5. You can't tell me upgrading doesn't make sense for her.
