Oracle : Morte

[Bootsza]

I have also not had much luck witht he firebolt deck.  I understand the desire to make a deck free of rares / upgrades but it is just very unreliable.

This morning Oracle said Morte and I used this CCYB variant:

Basically: I added momentum to get around bone wall.  My air nymph for killing blows with Unstable Gas and 3 purifies.  I also tossed out the two sanctuaries I was running and put back some SOGs along with another hourglass to compensate for the extra cards.  Alfatoxin is cute so I kept it... helps a bit with his ROL putting out light quanta for his miracles.

I felt much more comfortable with this than with firebolts despite knowing it wasn't optimised by any means and, thanks to a timely purify and anti-matter, I managed an easy-ish EM.

No spin successes though but them's the breaks

I played against Morte with the first deck and somehow, the Nymph's Tears turned out to be my last three cards. Worst luck ever.

Used the first deck and it won me an upped arsenic I was a bit worried at first because I had no quints til about ~18 cards left and my starting hand was crammed with phase shields and sundials, but 18 turns is plenty for 20 damage a turn= 360 damage, and the second quint was right after Also upped hourglasses help a lot

Chain Dimensional Shields. Spread the Purifies out so that you don't die from Poison. You'll need 113 to win in one turn with Fire Bolts.

Used this one. Started off with only 2 fire pillars and decked out. Didn't have enough quanta by end. :/ Maybe would've lived if Shard of Gratitudes were added? (for an upped version)

Yeah, that deck really isn't a good counter, I'd say we need a new decent Morte counter.

I already explained why, in my previous post.

I put a new deck up about a week ago.

The fire one should probably be taken down, though, or have more pillars added to it or something. The two times I used it, I could not deal enough damage on my final turn; I've since saved a tweaked version of a more general-purpose deck that I have better luck with.

People keep picking it up and using it (and reporting losing), probably because it looks simpler and cheaper than the better deck.
Edit: just realized that the picture in question is only in post #2 by someone else, well carry on then! Nothing to see here; maybe wouldn't hurt if it was removed though.

Just a quick question. I have a blue nymph. Would it be wise to trade one nymph tears and a pendulum  for it or should I just add it in?

I'd add it. Nymphs are always good. I left my Purple out of this battle (just finished Morte) because she wouldn't be much of a help.

And.. daamn, I had a tough fight. I used this Light Mark deck posted in this thread AND my pet was, luckily, an Otyugh. hehe , had a fast Gravity production with the quantum pillars and managed to eat most of his creatures, then I got a quint on it...
Almost decked out but I used the Fractal on the Fireflies, to destroy his shield quickly.. when I was about to kill him.. MIRACLE! Luckily he didn't draw his second miracle within the next 5 turns.. and I won with 1 card left in my deck. 

[TheForbiddenOracle]

Terrible for me today, last 3 phase shields were my last 3 cards, sundials and extreme drawing kept me in the game... and if I remembered to draw I would've won at 3 cards left... fml... p.s. today I found out there is a permanent limit so dont drop all your hourglasses at once

[ralouf]

Tried tree times the first deck and beeing totally pwned all the time..

This works well, but I would suggest -1 Afla, -1 Eternity, -1 RoL, +1 AM.  This helps thin it out some.
