Rather boring, I know... but I don't think most people do this with 60 cards, or miracles, or plagues, or graveyards, so it was at least slightly different.  It did get more thumbs ups than I was expecting somehow.  Spun freeze today from the oracle.

edit: Freeze deck is at 26-1 and rank 10, so thumbs up count might be wrong if it wins any more.  Only 8/26 thumbs ups.  I used mark of darkness... see if you can guess what I did :p

Freeze voodoo doll stuff?

mono dark with water splash? (you never said whether it was or )

I wasn't sure how this one would perform, but it definitely did better than expected.  The highest I can remember seeing it was rank 10.  My reasoning behind the design of the deck was that shard of patience would build up the creatures to lethal levels faster if shard of the void were also taking off hps from the player.  There are much better ways to build either a SoP stall or a SoV deck, but I decided to combine them and find out what the result would be.  Apparently it's fairly good.  It even made it to 9 days, not just 8, but mostly because it only got like 3 plays on day 8, and it was somewhere like rank 50-100 after day 7; it didn't get any wins at 1hp, it was just a low number of plays on days 8-9.

Today's card is schrodinger's cat.  This could be interesting...  I'm going to check some of my previous decks and see what I've done in the past, and go from there.  I might try a graveyard/SoP trio, but I'm pretty sure I've done that before.  I could maybe try a mutation deck, but I'm not sure if the AI will mutate cats.  Anyway, I'll come up with something...

I thought I had done a deck or two like this one before, but the search function said otherwise, so here it is.  It's probably not balanced properly quantawise; I just threw it together in a few seconds.  Today's card is pharaoh; I'll see if I can find something interesting to do with that one.

I'm actually rather proud of this idea.  Pharaohs and late game scarabs have lots of hp, and so the red nymphs can pump them to quite high attack values, in addition to serving as fairly useful CC.  Fire shield combos both with scarab devour and rage potion, and shards of readiness are good on everything in the deck.  A pair of explosions for good measure, and deck complete.  Unfortunately, I suspect that it suffered heavy losses to Pdials and Swallow, but whatever.  I thought this would get even more thumbs ups than it did, although I suppose 3/7 isn't bad.  I'll blame the small sample size... and the four of you who downvoted it!  Today's card is drain life.  I won't do monodark; beyond that, no promises.  I'll try to make an unusual duo, or even trio, if I can think of a good one.

Awww.... nobody liked adrenavamps :p  I thought this would be a fun non-devourer way to use siphon life, but it seems it wasn't.  I've got immolation today; I'd like to do a death/fire duo, but the AI is really bad at playing things in the wrong order there.  For instance, it will do stuff like photon, cremate photon, play fire creature, and -then- play soul catchers...  In any event, I'll see what I can find.  I once did a rather interesting immolation/schrodinger's cat deck in league when both my opponent and I agreed to use 6 cats in every deck.  Again, unfortunately with the AIs failure to play soulcatchers and other similar cards in the right order, I'm not sure how well it will work.  I'll see if I can think of something cooler, though.

edit: I was really lazy so I just put up a relic farm with immolation.  The card I'll be building around now is entropy pendulum.

Thank you for adding the caption to every deck.

I tried to make this as AI friendly as possible :p  Unupped photons to hopefully get the AI to actually play mutations, and then TUs to twin any cool mutants, as well as some cheap counters to some of the more common problems faced in platinum.  I'd like to think people would have voted for this deck had it won any games.  Today's card is pulverizer, and I've had that one as my oracle card a lot of times.  I think I've done EQ/BH stalls, SoR pulverizers, overdriven pulverizers, TU pulverizers.  I think I did rage pot pulverizers once as well.  I have no idea what's left... it might be another farm again.  Most likely it will at least be a really easy deck to beat if I have to make it something really silly :p

edit: There were a few more than this, but the images were gone from the hosting sites.

Hmm... well I thought this deck was pretty cool, anyway.  On day 0 it went 1-1, and it got a thumbs up, so I figured that maybe it would be appreciated.  Nobody else liked it after that, though :p  I suppose some people might not have seen the whole deck and realized how cool it was, and others might've simply just hated the shard of focus.  I'm actually pretty surprised it got as many wins as it did as a trio, especially as I didn't think I'd done the quanta very well.  Hopefully I can do something more appreciated with the time factory I spun today.  I'm thinking I'll do a monotime stompy style deck.  I've done that before with a few other elements; I'll link some examples if I can find them in my history, to use as an example of what I mean.  (it's a term from magic: the gathering, for a deck using low mana, or in this game, quanta, and lots of cheap little creatures and spells)

Seriously?  No thumbs up for this?  Shame on you!  For your crimes against the Dragon, I shall use my oracle spun card of pulverizer (yes, again... and I complained about it when I had it a few days ago) to build a total asshole earthquake/black hole thing.  With novas.  For purify and rewind and nightmare and... actually, maybe that counts as unique after all :p
