Rainbow Decks / Re: Can Haz Moar Drawz? (FG Rainbow Reloaded - 1.24-1.25)

« on: October 27, 2010, 06:58:27 pm »

So please don't autoquit against Octane, instead fight him. Me personally thinks that players uses rainbows against FG's instead of Rol/Hope because they prefer fighting FG's not farming them.

I said it makes "almost" autoquit Youre right, ppl who use this deck prefer to fight FGs instead of farm I never autoquit, but the thing is, if you dont have a good draw against Octane, youre getting overwhelmed by the occasional 40 damage/turn provided by 2 UGs. Also, adding another shield to my deck means i draw a shield early. Mirror shield is not something amazing, but the 1 damage reduction can save me sometimes, and saved my butt in tough situations against Decay,  Fire Queen or Hermes, so i wouldnt call it useless or a one god card. Our decks prolly arent the same, so you have different strong points in yours and less need for a mirror/jade shield.

DG is very tough, almost impossible. Managed to win with a bit different deck (fire shield+2 PA), but that is really situational, and you dont really need 2 PAs or a fire/spine shield against other gods.

(Mind you, im still a noob, playing for 3 months, so if you find my post noobish, just smile  )

Its a bad idea to mess with the game ballance on this level. Do i need a 0/10 Oty? No, i dont, but i could use a couple immaterial 0/1 elite anubis', i wouldnt need more quints in my deck. Using modified cards in PvP environmet is a no go. Also, against AI, you could overpower some cards that would make FG fights to easy. This would also make really hard for Zanz to design new challenges for us.

Rainbow Decks / Re: Can Haz Moar Drawz? (FG Rainbow Reloaded - 1.24-1.25)

« on: October 26, 2010, 11:54:22 am »

This is what i use currently:

Code: [Select]

52n 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6rn 6rn 6rn 6rn 6rn 6u6 6u7 749 74b 74b 77f 77i 7do 7do 7gp 7k0 7n0 7n2 7q5 7q5 7q5 7q5 7q7 7q8 80h 80h 80j
As kobis said, more shields are making the deck more versatile. Grav shield is protecting you from hard hitters (for example auto win against Miracle if you draw it early, also my choice of shield against Gemini), frost shield against small attack creatures (but its hard to bring it out early due to the lack of SNs in the deck). I got rid of bonewall because it needs a combo to be effective (RoF+bonewall). Octane would be almost autoquit without mirror/jade shield, i chose mirror coz its much cheaper. Anubis as quinting machine and optional mindgate for fun. Mindgate is tricky, but grants you a winning factor against medium/hard gods (pwned Dark Matter with her own black holes and a grav nymph lol, been lucky, she didnt draw many pillars early, also managed to kill Scorpio with his own poisons and puffy fishes). I left Antimatter in, because it saved my life many times till i drew the proper shield against my opponent.

The deck is a bit grav and time quanta heavy and can result into losing the match if you dont draw enough pillars and a shield+SoGs. Win rate is between 40-50% but i dont really care about win rate, its really fun to play it, especially with mindgate in.

False Gods / Re: Dark Matter Nymphs

« on: October 22, 2010, 05:14:45 pm »

If I remember correctly, spins depend on FG's deck composition. That's why FGs like Osiris and Decay give very generous spins. Rather than bettering the rewards of "harder" FGs, I'd say "harder" FGs and "easier" FGs need to be rebalanced so that all FGs are about the same difficulty.

+1 here.

There are almost auto win FG fights, and there are auto quits. Im running 2 Rainbow FG decks. Dark Matter has the perfect counter spell, Black Hole for them. But the presence of nymphs is just overkill. Its forcing you to use mono deck against her, mono deck that probably has at least 80% loss rate against other FGs. Also, if you beat Dark Matter, you have a chance to get upped relic? Cheapest card for a great victory? (Great victory means you got uber lucky and DM got a pathetic draw.) I have 160+ FG victories, only one against Dark Matter, and i dont auto quit when i see her.

IMO nymphs must go or should be replaced by other cards.

General Discussion / Re: What are you FG farming with?

« on: October 22, 2010, 04:44:05 pm »

I mainly use Puppy's timebow with a few changes:

Code: [Select]

52n 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6rn 6rn 6rn 6rn 6rn 6u6 6u7 714 749 74b 74b 77f 77i 7do 7do 7k0 7n0 7q5 7q5 7q5 7q5 7q7 7q8 7q9 80h 80h 80j
Also using a CCYB variant sometimes:

Code: [Select]

6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6rn 6rn 6rn 6rn 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u7 6u7 71c 749 77f 77f 77i 7ak 7dq 7dq 7gp 7n0 7q5 7q5 7q5 80h 80h 80i
Im always experimenting with cards so i never have the projected 50%+ winrate, but i dont care (the pictures show the last variants of decks im using). Wanted to build RoL/Hope, but i just dont like the idea of autoquitting on some matches.

Nume, your CCYB with chimerra looks intriguing, im going to try it out.

Nerf This Card! / Re: Dissapation Field

« on: October 22, 2010, 11:48:10 am »

idk about the card itself but the actually fg that uses this needs be deleted

Why? Chaos Lord is one of the easy/medium gods. You either destroy the shield with permanent control or just drain the opponents quanta in a few turns. Never ever had any problem with dissp field played by Chaos Lord, its just prolonging the battle a little bit, not affecting the outcome of the match (depends on the deck of course, but the most widely used FG deck, CCYB got 2 pulverizers to deal with permanents, and Chaos Lord has no PA to protect the shield).

This card needs no nerf, its fine as it is. Can delay rush decks by 2-3 turns at most, but thats it.

Duo-Decks / Re: V2 -- fire tweaked to max speed

« on: October 19, 2010, 11:36:04 am »

Muhahaha.

This deck is just amazing. The sheer speed you can farm AI3 with will totally blow you away. Also, had a few victories against HBs with this deck, the modified version with deflags could work even better against them. Played 170ish matches against AI3, a few 3 ttws, many 4 ttws but most of the time i get 5-6 ttws. 3 losses so far, pathetic draw on my side and awesome draw on the AI3s side (still almost got all 3, all were under 10 life). Many 3-4 ttw victories are EMs, coz the AI cant come out with a single creature/weapon in time. Used the deck in PvP2, 10 victories, 3 losses (got into a bloody stall deck twice...).

Rainbow Decks / Re: Can Haz Moar Drawz? (FG Rainbow Reloaded - 1.24-1.25)

« on: October 06, 2010, 02:27:22 pm »

I started with the SG almost unupped FG farmer. It was really bad in the beginning, had only 12 cards upped. Hardcore farmed FGs to upgrade all but the results were not much better even with almost everything upped. Then i decided to build this deck (has a lot of common cards). Yesterday i completed the upgrading, and after testing it, i have to say its well worth the effort. Estimated win rate is at around 40% (i need to get used to the deck still) so far. Now i have a good chance to take out a lot more FGs than with my former deck. However, against some gods, even tho i win, its a lot slower because of the lack of creature generation (only boneyard, no FFQ). Some of the matches are really long, especially against FGs that use PU/TU (you cant risk making mutants, and skellies wont hit through for example jade shield, you have to build up your Oty to pack a punch and that takes time). In one match yesterday, Gemini managed to overwhelm me in the end with colossal dragons, and had bad luck with fog shield.

Other than (in my opinion) this deck being a bit slow, the win rate and the versatility is amazing, also serves a very good base for tweaking. The only autoquit FG, Divine Glory can be beaten with a PA+thorn shield  (+sundials to delay). Im going to test that.

Rainbow Decks / Re: How to beat ALL the False Gods using the ULTIMATE False God killing deck

« on: September 30, 2010, 10:59:48 am »

I too stumbled upon several outdated decks in the guides, and I almost bought one. While that is no drama (every rainbow deck has some base cards) I think this can easily be prevented. Take a few posts and make them a sticky or mark them. Have an admin. of sorts update the first post. If that cannot be done, archive it. A guide is a guide. You cannot expect me to read 15 pages of replies with comments that might invalidate the original contents!

But anyway a situation is created in which people ask ''stupid questions'' in the eyes of the people that did read the entire forum.

I fell into this trap twice. I had a scarab+fractal deck, used to farm AI3 for weeks, managed to get coins for 7 upgrades. Then i came to the forum, seen the mono aether deck listed as badass against HB, i built it, got pwned badly, but tweaked a bit and in 2 weeks i upped 19 cards. Then i said its time for FGs, found the 40 card SG Rainbow, started with 12 upgraded cards, and in less than a week, now i have 35 upped cards.

Sure these decks are not as good as they were, but i could still profit from them, and now i have the funds to build a real anti-FG deck.

However, you are right, some of the topics, especially in the newbie section should be ereased or modified to prevent ppl cursing a lot and getting disappointed fast.

Issue Archive / Re: Missing card after roll [unconfirmed]

« on: September 22, 2010, 06:37:18 pm »

Chances are, you didn't win a card. In the spin, you can easily confound upped cards with regular ones. Upped cards only have a small while triangle in the left bottom corner.

Just lost another at 20:25, a Fractal card. Animation shows 3 Fractal cards, no coins added to the pile, no sound notification, and the card is nowhere. I won a fair amount of cards today so im not imagining things.

EDIT:
So no Opera, no Chomre. Do i really have to play on the memory eating FF?

Which means you didn't win a card. HB's use a combination of upped and unupped cards, so, chances are, 1 or 2 cards in the spins were unupped, and the other(s) upped.

Going to facepalm myself, you are right. Started farming HBs only today, was not used to upped cards. Thanx.

Going to change topic name.

EDIT: the thing is, never had any problems with Opera so far, but had problems getting opponents in T50 today, possibly browser related problem. Switching to Chrome now (Chrome seems to be slower when it comes to flash, thats why i said "no Chrome" in my former post, im support admin for another flash based game, it really has issues with FPS in flash, especially on older computers).
