Oracle : Paradox

[Junkers]

Lobotomize his Rays of Lights, so that he can't save up for Miracles or Blessing his creatures.
Fractal his Rays of Lights to provide your own Light quanta to fuel your Hope shield.
Then Fractal your own Dragons for the win. Be careful not to put out a Dragon too early, or he will Twin Universe it many, many times.

Just beat my first false god using this deck. Kudos to the creator. I had one less hope in there, nonetheless, worked like a charm!!!

i used this deck posted by kobisjeruk (third post) and EM'd him easily (i never played a fractal, when i had 9 , so no need for upped ones).

i never get a card from the spin defeating the oracled false god

but i like playing Hope with enemy RoLs. cleans up the deck

I got Paradox today and figured that since he, you know, sucks balls, I figured there should be a way to 500hp-EM him. This is what I came up with:

The idea is to sit behind a diamond shield and rewind anything with multiple blessings. I stabilized easily with a shield and one shard (with a second one shortly after). Having only one time tower didn't really matter. There should probably be a fourth shield for consistency. The second gemfinder is there because there's no reason to not play it instead of an unupped tower.

In any case, I failed to realize how fast Paradox fills his board and chokes on cards, so this might take too long to be worthwhile even for laughs with his 100-card deck. Or maybe he'll use the hourglasses to compensate, I don't know. With 40 cards in his deck I tried to move the browser tab aside and multitask, but instead found out that unlike Chrome, Firefox reloads the game when you undock the tab. GG.

Got Paradox today and since I usually try to go for 500 HP EM's with the Oracle predictions I thought I'd check here to see what decks are suggested. Saw your deck and felt it should do the job, just added a 4th Diamond Shield because I was a bit worried of an early rush.
It worked but I can confirm that it takes too long, he had 36 cards left when I had to start rewinding the gemfinder. Took me 66 turns to take him down and I actually had him down to 3 HP before he decked out, expected him to use a Miracle at some point, maybe he discarded them??
Anyway, an idea would maybe be to play a gravity mark and add an otyugh to clear his field a bit and allow him to play a few more cards....one would of course have to be careful not to let the otyugh get too big and having to deal with mass tu's.
I'm way too lazy to try it out right now, but I'll try it the next time I get him as Oracle prediction.

Woohoo first post on this forum  8)

You could also play Graboids instead, then when Paradox fills his field with creatures, evolve your Graboids into Shriekers and finish him off quicker. Also, I'd add in a Heal and maybe a Mitosis or two for more damage and controlled healing.

[lolo262626]

Great idea Majofa! I kept thinking that there was no point trying to damage him because of the Miracles, but I'm guessing they are pretty high on his discard list because it's the second time in a row I played him and he didn't use any.
So yeah, as you guessed, got him today as Oracle prediction and I went with Graboids, worked great, in fact I killed him too quickly and was only able to use 4 Granite Skins, not getting the 500 HP EM

Best is most likely to use less Graboids, 1-2 should be enough in combination with Mitosis, giving you time to draw the 6 Skins.
Heal is also nice, it's main use being to secure the EM im case you don't win by deckout (he always has a Morning Glory dealing dam) but obviously it can also be used if HP's are running low.
With this in mind, I think the following accomplishes both goals: get a 500 HP EM while not having to wait 40+turns once his hand/field is full.

Added a 5th Shield too, simply because not drawing one is pretty much the only way to lose.

The unupped deck from the OP worked wonders for me. I was wondering if i could get a Hope out in time. I did, but i didn't have a turn to spare. Gave me an Electrum Hourglass and an Elite Deja-Vu. Thanks!

This is lovely and should work mostly un-upped.  As planned, it is funny and successful.  It is also SLOW, on the order of 15 minutes, so you probably have more time-efficient ways of getting that 320 electrum.  I added another shield, removed a couple of Rewinds.  As Polari says, one shard is enough to stabilize your hit points because the only damage source will be the weapon.

I really recommend my version Zubon, should be faster and still get the 500 EM with ease  8)

For speed's sake, next time I think I'll go with -2 HG, -2  Pendulum, +3 Shard of Patience.  Even with the deck I have, won in 37 turns with 500hp EM - killed 'Dox with damage from Eternity, 2 Gemfinders, and my pet Parasite.  Yup, 7 dmg/turn .

hurr durr what miracle? I'll just pound on him until he dies! nevermind those rays of light....

Crap. I'm so stupid.

Probably less reliable than the Silence variant that has made several appearances in this thread, but absolutely hilarious:
