Oracle : Octane

[Higurashi]

You should talk to Jen-i and set up an unluckiness contest, 'cause those are two nice fails with reliable decks.

So true. I used to play this game a lot a year or two ago and had a false god farming deck, but I quit, and this is my second time returning with a new account... it wouldn't surprise me so much that this happened if it was one time in the middle of many attempts that succeeded, but instead these were my first two false god attempts after returning and they were both extremely unlucky and disastrous.

You know this is a good counter when you have one Pend for the first half of the game and still manage to squeeze out a win.

That first deck needs to be upgraded otherwise it suffers major quanta issues. The explosions really hurt your pillars and you need a healthy stock of earth quanta asap to make those granite skins useful.

Thank you for the help.

I'm not sure about that, you're going to be a bit low on quanta but Octane's clock isn't very fast. You have a lot of time and also the 6 SoDs. The thing I'm worried about is having Octane's hand get clogged and losing to decking, so I've added a couple of random creatures instead.

I used the 500hp EM deck in the OP twice previously.  The first game I won, but just barely; I think I only had one or two cards left in my deck, and I burned every miracle I had.  The second game I decked out, and would have won with only 1 more card in deck.

Using that knowledge, I took the original deck and added 6x upped sundial 4x earth pend, and it's big enough to work without losing any of the original concept.  Your deck is then big enough to last if Octane clogs his hand early.  You get the option of drawing with sundials (if you know you'll be okay drawing the extra) or simply use them as either explosion fodder (to clear Octane's hand, as he will not explode a pend unless he has 2+ explosions in hand) or to block one round of attacks, all of which are good things.

Today I got an Octane prediction, used the modification above, and it worked great.  I drew with every non-exploded sundial (I think 4 or 5) and still had 8 cards in deck.  (so I'd have won even without them, but with only about 2-3 cards in deck)  The sundials also reduced the damage I took, and I was in no danger the entire time.  I only had to play one miracle to stay alive, plus the 2nd to get a 500 EM at the end.

lol, wow. Worst hand ever? One pendulum during the entire game.

Even with 2 antimatters in the last 4 cards I still managed to EM with the  deck.  Nice deck--just remember to hang on to a heal for the last turn since he always keeps a weapon in place to nix your perfect healing.  Added SoD for some extra coin, could easily add more.
