Rainbow Decks / Re: Cloaked dragon rush (against FGs)

« on: March 07, 2011, 10:45:33 am »

I think when cloak gets balanced the deck will still be a favorite. It's not so much that the AI neglects cloak, but the feeling of having dragons with 20+ damage delivering a finishing blow in 10 turns.

Right now I'm testing a 35-card variant in trainer. I love this deck, it's so much fun to play, and very effective.

I've copied your deck and made some slight changes for my preference, and it's working great. Cloak+shield and a couple of dragons to keep the damage going, and in the end Blitz for a finisher. As with all SN timebows I was worried about  , so I removed all non-essentials and added a couple of extra towers just in case.

If your going to add a puvly or two, you might also want to add a few PAs, since the AI now puts weapons and shields above Hourglasses in priority. But I like the idea of using cloak to hide behind.

Since when is this? Today I have played a few games and the AI is still targeting glasses first.

I'll test the deck, if cloak is overlooked by the AI it may serve some purpose. Overall I find it not very useful with it's short duration.

Sanctuary is definitely nice in here but the one bad thing about them is that they make it much harder to play Miracle when you need to.

That's why you drop Miracle:) An early sanct is better and cheaper.

Miracle and a shard seem the most reasonable to exchange for other cards. At 36 cards the draws are reasonable, at 40 cards it's also playable (e.g. throw in another quint and destroyer). My favorite mods so far are:

- with 2 dials instead of the miracle and a shard - they give a lot of safety vs creature heavy opponents, and can provide EMs.

- with 2 sanctuaries (image below) - I was thinking how to make the deck more durable vs the hardest enemies - those with perma control and the Black Hole. Sanctuaries give an edge over Decay and Black hole, and also give some fodder vs perma destoyers. I usually waste a few towers, shards and sancts and then safely play pulvy and shield. Sancts also seem to be a safer healer before you can play your Permafrost, because with shards you risk a -1 to water.

The deck works very well for her even with a bad draw. Have yet to encouter a grav nymph from her after Oracle.

For coins I only know how to kill FGs and sell their cards, playing for EM with weaker foes is just not mentally rewarding. What I find interesting is the chance to win the new rares from weaker opponents. I still can't make a fast killer deck for AI5 though, most of the time it feels like fighting a retarded FG, long and boring.

This looks interesting. I'm gonna try it, getting bored of FGs, might see what AI5 has to offer

False Gods / Re: New Decks for New Gods?

« on: March 02, 2011, 08:34:37 pm »

With CCYB I've had moderate success against those 5 FGs.
Akebono - wait for the chimera and use Antimatter. I use 2 dials, so when I get the feeling he's about the pull it, I lay the dials to protect myself from the possible single hit kill. Fast and furious, this guy.
Jezebel - Antimatter an Aether nymph. Due to steals, a deck would benefit from PAs or unstealable permanents. If you don't use those, temp her with towers/shards, then hourglasses, and when you are sure there are no steals you can lay down the pulvy and shield.
Hecate - you only have to worry for a few steals. Same tactic to avoid steals as against Jezebel, then use deck as intended.
Serket - if you have your Permafrost you have nothing to worry about. Also, fractal Deathstalkers for insane poison counter.
Eternal crusader - I'd say this is the easiest of the new 5 FGs for CCYB. Let him keep his eternity so he uses the crusader's skill on it instead of your pulvy.

I've been using the deck in the OP with minor changes and it's giving me solid victories vs most of the FGs. I think Dark Matter is the only one I have yet to beat even 1 time, but it's a matter of luck (got 1 turn to victory once). Props to the author of the deck.

I'm playing it with 2 dials instead of a shard and the miracle. I've tried combos with PAs, purify, aflatoxin and a few other cards (no nymphs), but I like the dials. My previous deck had 6 dials, can't drop them like that
