no i've pretty much thought of all that i just guess i'm a little impatient XD i do apologise though to all for coming across like what i say is cold hard fact and yes it IS only just my opinions that i'm sharing so sorry if it came across as arrogant or whatnot i just guess i presume people would get that it's opinion and such
and yes i do realise that a reusable effect can be a lot better as well as gravity nymph being simply stunning against rainbow i mean we only have to look at dark matter to see that she's darned ridiculous vs the "meta deck"
to the point of rainbow not needing the help i would agree AND disagree at the same time.....
right now a lot of these changes have been anti rainbow and most FG decks seem to be more geared and prepared for them and i should know i've been playing nothing but rainbow for months and have been too lazy to farm for a new deck type XD
but again when there's only one reliable god killer deck it's gonna be used and when it get's nerfed in it's components or just the FG's are changed to combat the threat and that to me seems to be the case
instead of however nerfing rainbow and it's components i would have said i'd prefer it it was counterbalanced by strengthening the other elements with more feasable god combatting cards which are less likely to be abused in rainbow
cards such as antimatter are quite useful against a god i'll admit or aflatoxin but mostly i find them to be dead draws and such an not all that great so perhaps this was a step in the right direction
higher cost creatures of an element etc BUT
just how effective do you think a gravity nymph would be VS a FG
it's best case scenario would be rainbow an more than likely it would just end up as great healing but wouldn't stop the onslaught of shriekers imho
dark nymph(?) would be another example i mean it's like a mind flayer for dark and would be better in darkness themed decks but being of a high cost to get on the field would mean that flayer is better even if it's costs are of two elements
aether nymph........now this is one that i don't like really
three aether quant for the same effect that anubis gets?? not sure that i think much of this
and then there's the tears which i do like the idea of but it's cost puts me off although i do understand that it's to stop it being abused in rainbow and agree with the idea of it but why water??
maybe i'm just missing something but i'm just not crazy about it being water at all but hey just remember it's just my opinion and i do see the very good points you're making also and it's given me a few things to think about 
Ok, I see better where you are coming from now. It did seem much like you were flat out attacking everything left and right with very little support. I agree with you on several points of this, as I too run a rainbow. But I enjoy being forced into a challenge. By adding these rainbow hindering cards to the mix, especially in the FGs, it forces people to pull away from the norm as the normal strategies begin to fall apart. But it's also nice. There is no insta-rainbow-kill card, though black hole is close, you can still make a come back from it. So right now everything else just got introduced with cards that help counteract rainbow a bit better, instead of geting something amazingly good that a rainbow cannot hope to beat. Do you see where I am coming from? Baby steps.
I definitely agree that one successful deck will get spammed a bunch of times by different players, but slowly beginning to give everything else more power, which slowly destroys rainbow decks, is one of the best ways to begin to get people to use their brains and come up with more, better deck ideas, instead of just copying a deck a thousand times and just changing a few cards.
And about Nymph's Tears. Why water you ask? Well all the other elements already got their new Alchemy and Water needed a power boost. It's like the White Nymph. Currently, there isn't much use for it, but in the future of gaming, when new cards come out, there will be more combo opportunities right away.
Now, to bring this whole thing back on topic, I seem to be getting more and more eager for the Oracle to come out. Not just for a chance to win a nymph, but who doesn't enjoy getting a free card once in awhile?
entirely my fault due to inherent laziness
however i would digress that quite possibly the biggest problem in ANY rainbow deck is A: a lack of creatures B: lack of a focused strategy C: quanta
there's pretty much nothing you can do against dark matter if you're a quantum player
he's gonna heal a lot and he's gonna get field presence usually within a turn or two
but the problem is NOT black hole i wouldn't be silly enough to suggest that
the problem is that as a FG he draws twice per turn and can ALWAYS play one after another incredibly early on leaving you literally with nothing to use
i don't mind if a FG rushes me i can handle that as i do after all have 100 lp but constantly having no quanta to play my cards is in my honest opinion overkill considering that rainbow is the best contender for FG farming
but if you just look at it simply every card has a counter strategy or card
with perm destruction you have protect artifacts
with monster control you have quintessence
where's the counter card for quant drain?
devourers?
honestly i see very little in the way of countering a god that can spam out -6 to - -30+ quant in a single turn
there's nothing to protect our quant and the only thing that would come close is to rely on the already slightly unreliable supernovas and pray you draw lots of them early
this comes down to luck and NOT skill although deckbuilding comes into play
between him and rainbow i see them as the two gods that are just plain ridiculous sometimes however honestly i see dark matter as being FAR superior in being just anti rainbow control and thus having an incredible advantage over everything unless you load your deck with quant gaining monsters or play a duo element deck or just all 1 and 2 cost cards etc
in short he's just simply completely imbalanced in my opinion and i cannot understand why anyone would disagree
admire his well built and thought out strategy all you want but he to me is completely and utterly ridiculously imbalanced
funny thing is black hole isn't even all that and a bag o chips for a player to play unless dedicated to gravity
