I think this is overpowered, especially for a cost of 5/4 . You can pretty much summon any number of high cost ability-based creatures from any element in turn 2 if you just put down 2 light towers in turn 1. Imagine a field of FFQ/Anubis/Pharoah/Nymphs

Getting poison as oracle-card: some electrum.
Rising to #1 in Platinum: lot of electrum
Getting poison again on day 7: maybe even more electrum?
Realising you build a new deck because the oracle-card is the same: priceless 

I had number 1 with Mono Death/SoSa too, with Bone Dragon as the oracle card. But then you got more plays than me on day 6 and I dropped to number 2


Mono Death is overpowered in Arena I think, even more than Mono Darkness. I got to number 1 in Gold too not long ago with almost the exact same deck.

Is there any reason not to upgrade a nymph, if you have no upgraded nymphs of that element? I'm thinking like maybe for upgrade-restricted play, and if the upgrade is not that much of an improvement. I just got an nymph btw

FYI - I have run into a new bug (posted in the bug thread). I have seen it in a few different fights now while playing this deck.  I play the 9 dragons and a sky blitz in the last round against an FG with no Shards and no regeneration cards in play. They start out at 200 health, the dragon rush is supposed to deal 234 damage. However, the FG's life goes down part way and then suddenly turns around and regenerates the other half of the damage dealt.  This is very annoying, turning what should have been an easy win into an instant lose. Has anyone else seen this?

I haven't seen this happen. Did you make sure to sky blitz after all 9 dragons are out? Fire Queen can heal back all the damage with bonds if you don't kill her in one turn.

I find I'm losing way more than 50% with this. Maybe I'm playing wrong. Could anyone give me an idea how this deck is supposed to run?

Since the SoSa nerf it's been harder to chain them. Obviously, play the combo ASAP. If you haven't played the combo, don't play any SoD's if it could prevent you from playing the combo next turn. Stall with SoD's in the early game to let the AI build up damage. Don't play more than 2 combos if your opponent can rewind, because that could screw up your SoSa drawing. Don't play a SoSa unless you have to (or think you have to, based on possible additional damage next turn). And if your opponent has Discord/quanta denial, hold onto your quanta producers, then play them all at once to be able to play stuff.

I tried playing the fat version and already lost a couple because either I couldn't draw a sundial to save me or, for gods that need chimera, too many hourglasses that I don't need clogging up my hand in the late game. It's worse when I need to play an hourglass to free up space to draw for a sundial, and that uses up quanta that I need next turn.

Is this also the basis for your current #1 deck in Gold that's 52-1?

I have a lot of unupgraded cards already, and I have 30k saved up, so it's nice to know I can buy them all right now if I wanted. I have yet to upgrade a lot of cards still, so that's my goal atm.

Duo-Decks / Re: The Pharaoh's Curse (Platinum Grinder)

I have been enjoying Pharaohs with SoR for a while with this deck:

so i thought i would give "The Pharaoh's Curse" a try... and i wish it had worked better for me, because I love the premice and idea...

That looks very good--more stable than Pharaoh's Curse. With Pharaoh's Curse I had trouble getting the whole combo going fast enough, and with mono aether too. With this deck you can add chimera for MA since it's a duo with gravity. Which one do you like playing better, this deck or your version of Curse with novas?

Sorry if this has been asked before--how much does it cost to buy 6 copies of every card from the bazaar?
