I think it's for the pufferfish.  Graboids can stay burrowed until emerging when all EEs are dead or as an endgame finisher.

Indeed it is not for the opponent
just to quint puffer or shriek

Octane Decked Out Using the unupped deck in the original post w/ 1 SN.  Pretty new (1st post  ) and never used a deck like this.  I got a shield on the draw, without ever seeing the benefit of reflection.  Played most of the game before I learned Unstable Gas won't hurt me with a reflective shield out.  Also learned the hard way: Play Antimatter before Quint (did Octane a favor there).  Don't play Antimatter alone (Octane fire lanced the creature).  Deckout happens because False Gods have to draw 2 cards every turn.

Even so, I almost had EM.  99 life after final heal.

Hope y'all got a kick out of all my newbie mistakes.  Thanks for the deck. (Empty Spin)

It's only for me or Octane don't use UG when you have a spell-reflective shield?

It's for everyone, why it would, actually? It's a suicide.

I suppose if your unstable gas was killing more attack worth of creatures than the 20 damage you were doing to yourself, it would be worth it.  As an extreme example, imagine your opponent with six unprotected seraphs out.  You'd be perfectly willing to take the 20 damage to yourself to kill them.  In practice, it would be extremely unusual for such a situation to come up, and even if it did, the AI would never see it.

Then, I don't understand the mechanics of counter-decks. They're morely stalling-type, and they cannot win by deckout because it's max 60 cards vs 64...

EDIT: oh, I forgot that FG draws two cards. My apologies

Just lost using the unupped deck from the OP; I decked out and he had 4 cards left.  The strategy worked great, but he kept having 7 cards so that he would only draw one a turn for the last few.  In cases like this it's actually better to AM one of his Owl's Eye WITHOUT Quinting it, so that he uses the fire lance to blow up the card, and then he can keep drawing two cards.  I realized this too late, but hopefully other's won't make that mistake.

[Laxadarap]

Immortal type deck: Didn't draw a shield until 19 cards left, while Octane drew and blew up all but 3 of the UG in his deck.  Still won (not EM though, only got to 389 hp)

• Play Antimatter before quint
• Safe one heal for last and play it when your opponent has 1 card left

This deck should work most of the time, but you can't recover from bad draws at all.

Save a SoD for the last turn after your Miracle to get a 500HP EM.

Used this one.
How can you reach the EM ? Miracle makes you use all your light quanta, so you can't use SOD.. and in Octane's last turn he harms you for more than 24hp..  Maybe adding 3 sanctuaries could help ?
