"Losses came due to Freeze/Rewind"? Doesn't that happen to your first deck as well?

It's obvious.

Obviously not.

Hammer is strengthened by Gravity and Earth. Short Bow should benefit from TWO different Marks as well.

Hammer and Gavel should be nerfed so they only get the boost with Earth cause goddamn.

Perhaps this could lead to a TCG-style Graveyard? I am neither for or against a Graveyard, but if it means the only hard counter against stuff like Neurotoxin and Nightmare (it fills your hand up to 8, btw), then so be it.

I'm not sure what this "Graveyard" exactly is. Is it like a discard pile?

Playing the decks is almost completely straight forward and most decks require next to no strategy (in other words, difference in playing the deck between a veteran thats here for a year, and "noob" that is playing the game for a month is slim). Ways to take away cards from your opponents hand would remove that small factor of actually thinking before playing, as suddenly, it will always be more beneficial to just drop whatever you can. I dont see Dune scorpion as a positive card.

However, Nightmare is an acceptable way to mess with your opponents hand as it doesnt take away anything, it just fills you with crap. It can be annoying, but it wont destroy your strategy just because your opponent managed to drop his cards before you.

It seems like you don't mind new mechanics as long as they make the game deeper and more strategic.

To be honest, I don't think this card is all that great. Air decks aren't really great at rushing, and slower decks will probably prefer the creature control Eagle's Eye provides.

EDIT: DERP DERP DERP Animate Weapon, nevermind. This card is pretty awesome.

General Discussion / Your Hand: Safe Zone or Battlefield?

One's hand has always been regarded as a safe zone. That Lava Destroyer can't get kill by a Firestorm. That Elite Queen won't get Lobotomized. Those Towers won't get wiped out be a Quicksand. But with the new cards Dune Scorpion and Nightmare, your hand can now be manipulated by your opponent. While I like the introduction of this new mechanic, many other people prefer the hand being safe from the opponent.

What do you think about manipulating the opponent's hand? Should these cards be discontinued? Should there be more like these?

You could try throwing in some Burning Towers to pay for the Shards of Readiness and get out Elixirs faster. Other than that, it seems like a pretty good deck.

My best win with this deck so far. I'm using a bulky version of this deck, 36 cards.

Code: [Select]

592 5c6 5fa 5uu 621 621 622 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6rn 6rn 6rn 6rn 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u7 71c 77f 77f 7dq 7gp 7gp 7k2 7n3 7q5 7q5 7q51 Aflatoxin
1 Protect Artifact
1 Elite Queen
1 Liquid Shadow
1 Feral Bond
1 Improved Miracle
3 Electrum Hourglasses
4 Shards of Gratitude

I'm considering Unstoppable, but I don't think it'd be very useful.

ummmmm i have tried that b4 rainbowz and it didnt quite workout as well as non upped

Why is that? Supernovae should make your deck much, much faster, since you won't have to rely on your pillars as much.

Drop an Ash Eater for an Explosion or two. Maye replace Abyss Crawler with Steam Machine.

Why specifically Pest instead of a Deja Vu or something like that?

Your deck is way too large. By taking out some cards, like one each of Graboid, Giant Frog, Bond, Pegasus, and Firefly, you are less prone to bad draws. You could then take out some Quantum Towers.

This deck needs three or four Quintessences if you plan on taking on False Gods.
