Oracle : Jezebel

[furballdn]

Based on memory, I think she's killed me way more times with instosis than I've won her.

[ARTHANASIOS]

IMO, with or without Nymph buffs, a fast rushing upped deck is probably the best option here. Since it uses so many Cloaks, it makes you unable to target with CC or PC. Ok, I know mass CC removes invisibility and you can use PC against Cloak, but a new Cloak would probably be played right away. I also don't remember Jezebel to use a very strong anti-rushing shield, so a pure rush, with a few healing or a dim shield maybe, would be able to beat Jezebel lots of times.

How about CP Wyrms + a few SoFrs?

[Moraku]

Now that Earth Nymphs deal 5 damage each, the 500 HP deck not a free win anymore.
Instosis and Shakar's Revenge are both unreliable.
So I based my new deck on trying to prevent any nymphs in the first place.

Warning: This is a slow outdecker and highly dependent on your initial draw.

1. Try not to play any Stone Tower on your first turn unless you have 2 or more PAs. Otherwise, try to survive with only Novas on your first turn.
2. Try not to play *ANYTHING* unless you can PA it.
3. PA her QTs first. If you can't do this before Cloak appears, your chances of winning drop greatly.
4. Warning: Do *NOT* PA her Water Towers. She will only make one Water Nymph and you need ALL of your PAs to win with this deck.
5. PA your Stone Towers next to prevent her from dealing additional damage per turn.
6. PA your Shards next. However, you can afford to play Shards without PA if you absolutely need to. Preferably, you want to keep at least 3 Shards PA'd to keep yourself alive.
7. PA your Shield if you need to.
8. PA your Time Towers and Eternity in whichever order deemed appropriate. Obviously, don't wait until your last turn to play your Eternity. (You can add a Rewind to the deck if you're afraid of a last-draw Eternity.)

I'd use the unupped version of the gnome, since it's free it can mess up your draws.

[Moraku]

Good point - given the nature of the deck, anything that improves the initial draw should help.

[mesaprotector]

Moraku, you win all the ingenuity points. All of them.

4-2 with this deck so far. One loss was a 5 turn speed rush on Jezzie's part, the other was drawing Eternity on the last turn.

[ddevans96]

Just pointing out that the earth/fire duos on page 7 of this thread still work. Or at least mine does, but seeing as it's based off the other two, I'd expect them to work as well.

EDIT: Turns out I just had a bit of good luck. The nymph buffs make Jezzie very hard with the old fire/earth duos.

[Moraku]

I've also had some luck with Poison Dials, if that helps anyone.

You can also bait Jezebel to steal your Arsenic to replace her Vampire Dagger removing her source of healing.

I used the unupped voodoo deck, and failed miserably.
Main reason: I didn't draw a single voodoo doll (15 cards left).
Secondary reason was the cloaks (obviously).

[Higurashi]

Cloaks don't really hinder you. You have to calculate the damage she can do and give it a biiiig ol' buffer 'cause it can explode any time.
Voodoo decks are fickle by nature, but at least the numerous Nymph buffs ensure she won't be low on damage anymore. The real threat of a Gravity Nymph remains.

Adding the additional Rewind version of this deck for easy copy/paste.
