(1.24) CC? Why bother?

[kobisjeruk]

heh any deck i play will be a slow deck because every game is like a chess game to me. i plan ahead to achieve EM and more often than not i usually do get EM even with the no Miracle, no Bonds variant. somehow it is more satisfying to me to get EM than to finish up a game as soon as possible and move on to the next
i never did use the original form (+1 unstoppable, +1 Miracle) but i never wish for a Miracle facing a loss because usually the loss came from fast rush on the FG side, didnt find perma in time or not having enough quanta to play perma
there are times when i have 10+ of each quantas and not having perma in place that a Miracle might save me but i see the issue being not having perma in place is bigger than having miracle to buy a few turns to find a perma
maybe i'll -1 SoG, +1 Miracle to test out if theres any difference though i'm not keen on not having a full set of SoGs in this deck

Hello, I am pretty new to this game so I have a newbie question  about this deck :

FFQ=firefly queen

The card that uses 2  to make a firefly

[kobisjeruk]

FFQ is short for Firefly Queen (or the upgraded version: Elite Queen)
not to be mistaken with EQ

heres some more shortform to help you out :-

AM - Antimatter
BE - Butterfly Effect
EA - Enchant Artifact
EQ - Earthquake
NT - Nymph's Tears
PA - Protect Artifact
RoF - Rain of Fire (upgraded: Firestorm)
RoL - Ray of Light (upgraded Photon)
QT - Quantum Tower

SoD - Shard of Divinity (upgraded blue shard)
SoG - Shard of Gratitude (upgraded green shard)
SoR - Shard of Rediness (upgraded yellow shard)

i'm missing a lot more but this is most often use when talking about anti-FG deck

edit: Narf! too slow

[thraexis11]

Thanks alot.
I thought it is the queen but I was confused because creator of this deck said to antimatter the FFQ sometimes, which I don`t understand why.
But I have plenty of time to learn it, tnx for your answers .

Mainly to take advantage of the Computers AI.  The computer most likely won't target something that is Antimattered as it sees it as a non threat.

the AI (artificial intelligence, basically your computer opponent) is less likely to attack a creature on your side if it is antimattered, it helps work as an imperfect quint. (quintessence)

AM - Antimatter
BE - Butterfly Effect
EA - Enchant Artifact
EQ - Earthquake
NT - Nymph's Tears
PA - Protect Artifact
RoF - Rain of Fire (upgraded: Firestorm)
RoL - Ray of Light (upgraded Photon)
QT - Quantum Tower

SoD - Shard of Divinity (upgraded blue shard)
SoG - Shard of Gratitude (upgraded green shard)
SoR - Shard of Rediness (upgraded yellow shard)

i'm missing a lot more but this is most often use when talking about anti-FG deck

edit: Narf! too slow

some more are

UG - unstable gas
TU - Twin universe (upgraded parallel universe, PU)
EE - Eagles eye (upgraded owls eye)
FS - can be either forest or fire spirit
EB - empathetic Bond
SS - stone skin
BB - Basilisk Blood

like all abbreviations just try to think of card names that start with those letters, itll get a lot easier as you get more experience.

Back to the actual deck:

I replaced a SoG with an aflatoxin and it works great. My question is what do i take out to add the bond? If Mr.Blonde doesnt mind I would like to see what he is using so I can chose easier Numes or his.

Hi folks. I actually registered here just now to post my experiences with this deck.

I've been playing Elements for a while now, off and on. Most of my FG killing has been with ScaredGirl's or PuppyChow's anti-FG rainbow decks, and I've had fair success with them. But when I saw this new deck, I was inspired to give it a serious go (which meant finally farming up those last 2 SoG's.)

I'm using the unmodified, 2xPulvy version of the deck from the OP. I've only had 50 FG matches so far, but here's where I'm at:

Opponent	Wins	Losses/Quits
Chaos Lord	1	2
Dark Matter	0	4
Destiny	1	0
Divine Glory	0	1
Dream Catcher	0	1
Elidnis	1	0
Eternal Phoenix	1	1
Ferox	2	1
Fire Queen	3	0
Graviton	2	0
Gemini	1	1
Hermes	2	1
Incarnate	1	0
Miracle	2	0
Morte	3	1
Neptune	3	0
Obliterator	2	0
Octane	2	0
Osiris	1	0
Paradox	2	0
Rainbow	0	3
Seism	3	1

So it's obviously a small sample set, but so far I'm running 66% — definitely the strongest run I've had with a new deck.

Dark matter and Rainbow are still my banes, as they've been with basically every anti-FG deck I've ever tried. It's very satisfying, however, to be beating Obliterator, Seism, Hermes and Octane regularly. I'm sure I've been getting moderately lucky on the draws, but I've definitely been seeing better results on those gods than the ratings in the first post would have indicated.

Anyway, Amilir, I just wanted to say thanks for posting this, and good job on making such a funky (and strong) deck variant.

I'm on a winning streak with this deck. After auto-quitting Dark Matter, I've won 7 straight games against Obliterator, Morte (twice), Paradox, Miracle, Ferox, and Fire Queen. I think I'm getting lucky with all the easy gods.

Never mind, just stopped by Dark Matter, followed up by Dream Catcher.

This is a great deck I just hate how it takes so long to finally win the game
