Golden Sanctuary

[Davop]

Now that Sanctuary is sold in the Bazaar, I thought of a deck that does tons of damage while healing back all of the damage received. This deck is good in most situations.

The blank ones are sanctuaries.

sanctuary does: protect you from discord and black hole
in exchange for: 1 hp regen and 1 more quanta to play
in comparison to: SoG

sanctuary is practical, but SoG in the high end is better to have if you do have some. if you don't, sanctuary does the job fine untill you do get some SoG. its neat for mono and duo decks. one more thing is that your deck has more hp and quanta production than any damage producing cards. you have more odds of having bad draws than getting you dragons or morning wood star. needs a little work on that aspect. i did the math and 4 sanctuary costs more than 5 SoG by 1 quanta and produce an amount of health equal to 1 SoG in inferiority as to support my earlier statement that   SoG > sanctuary

But Sanctuary can't be beaten by any decks that are based on any quanta negating cards which makes it better in many situations. I have 6 SoGs, but I think Sanctuaries are better if you have enough quanta.

SoG requires upgrade. Sanctuary does not.

Well Sanctuary is unupped. As you can see, the original poster made an unupgraded deck.

one more thing is that your deck has more hp and quanta production than any damage producing cards. you have more odds of having bad draws than getting you dragons or morning wood star.

It actually has too few quantum production cards. 12 pillars/pendulums can support decks with low cost cards, but not decks with 6 of the most expensive dragons. It's damage output is fine.


It's a nice deck (and you chose a good element) but sanctuary becomes much stronger with a good shield*. If the enemy has a lower damage output, sanctuary recovers a larger percentage of your lost health.

*A good shield is one that blocks more than 0 damage.

How many pillars would you suggest? and What shield? Light has no good shields other than Hope, but Hope requires light emanating creatures.
EDIT: Actually, a Solar Shield would be useful because I require lots of quanta, so I will change that. And take away one dragon while adding on tower.

i'll answer to all of this. UNTIL you get SoG, go with sanctuary if you feel the need for Hp regen (which is absolutely supported) sanctuary is weak against permanent control (pulvy, steal, deflag). of course...so is SoG.  ok, i miscalculated his quanta prod because i counted sanct as mana prod as well. my bad.

Solar Shield doesn't work while Sanctuary is in play. I suggest just another Pillar.

Okay, I will do that.

Hmmm...rush-stall deck,interesting,did you try rush-EM?
Attack creatures+miracles+1 holy flash is good EM.

I recently built an incredibly similar deck that looks like this

Just started testing it against AI3 and it currently has
7 wins

-pillar +Solar Shield.
One shield isn't enough to get it out fast. Besides, the shield also generates , so it's better in the long run.
I would also suggest swapping one or two dragons for Morning Star, if you have it.
