Oracle : Miracle

[furballdn]

Gah. Held off on the dim shields a bit too long today. Completely forgot about how leaf dragons could turn into and got killed when two jade dragons popped out X_X

[ninetyfools]

I used the first deck unupped. I won but I made a mistake. Though I won in 8 turns and 90 seconds, I used mark   
But it seemed to make it faster.
Nice deck!

Basically all you need for miracle is TU and dim shields. Silences help to stop miracles.

I used the first deck in the start post full UNupgraded and it worked very well. Chained Dim Shield about 25 HP.
and also won an upgraded emerald tower :O

I tried the first deck just for fun and it works great. (twin/phase/overdrive)  It would, of course, fail if the AI never played a creature all game, but whatever :p  AI never even played a Miracle when I played him, though he could have at the end, but even if he had, I'd have been just fine with four twinned overdriven golden dragons and about 14 cards left in deck.  Just sit on your hands until you need to chain shields, then wait for a big dragon, twin it, overdrive it, and twin it some more.  I had it fully upped except for 4 of the towers.

Ahh, I just love when I get the perfect hand against a FG. Used the first deck, and he got a 3rd turn Buffed Light dragon out. Had just enough Dim Shields and plenty of PU's to start off with. He only had enough time to draw 1 Miracle before his dragons swept him away. 

[furballdn]

Why isn't a PU, dim shield, Silence deck in the OP as unupped counter?

Heh heh, even the old SGbow would probably still work against Miracle. Hmm... that sounds nostalgic.

I saw at my oracle I was going to face miracle so I made a random deck and it worked

maybe switching 3 SoD's/time towers with SoG's to get em
(weird part of the story: when miracle had one card left I killed him because he discarded all his miracle's  )

Had him today as my Oracle prediction and having played the tu/overdrive deck a few times against him, I wanted to come up with something else, a 500 HP EM deck!
Looking at his deck it seemed to be a pretty hard task, he can kill you pretty quickly, being able to play dragons quickly, and can also fill the field with small creatures thanks to the Queens.... but after some thinking I came up with this pretty complicated deck:

Deck import code : [Select]

5if 5if 5if 5rp 5rp 5rp 5rp 5rp 5rp 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6rm 6rm 6rn 6rn 6rn 6rn 749 749 749 749 749 77e 77e 77k 77k 77k 77k 77k 77l 77l 77l 77l 77l 7ai 7do 7do 7k2 7n7 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q5 7q5 7q5 7q5 7q8 80d 80d 80d 8ps

The idea is to get to the point where you have a Grav Shield out, a Mindflayer that takes cares of the Queens and to use BB/Schockwave on the Pegasi.
Hourglasses help to draw faster, same with the Sundials, which of course also stall. The Phase Shields are great to stall until the Mind Flayer is out, I feared Grav Shield alone could let through too much damage in some cases. It's really no problem to change between the Shields. Playing 6 Grav Shield and no Phase Shield could of course work too.
The Firestorms are there to clear his field if the Queens had time to produce some fireflies (also kills Leaf Dragons). It does reduce the Queens HP to 4, which is annoying, but thanks to the Eternity you can always rewind them and then lobotomize them again. Plague isn't an option since after a while the Dragons would again be able to deal damage, not what you want. Don't think Pandemonium would be a good choice either.

You might notice I only have 5 Skins, but with 2 SoD it's (barely) enough to get to 500 (74*5+32=402 extra HP). The SoDs also increase the usefulness of miracle, so 3 or 4 could definitely be played. The main reason however to play only 5 Skins is to avoid getting your hand full with em and not be able to draw fast anymore.
The second Gemfinder makes sure you will have more than enough earth quanta by the end.

Overall I was quite happy with the result (won  ), but I can see a lot of little tweaks and changes being possible.
One idea could be SoB, but since I only have 1 (unupped too.... ) right now I couldn't play it anyway.

Thanks for the TU/overdrive deck. works perfectly.

The Parasite was a pet, not that it helped me win, though.

And I won a Light Dragon and a Miracle, too. schweeeeeeet
