(1.24) CC? Why bother?

[asymmetry]

Fun with Decay: Let him steal some hourglasses, pulvy aether towers early, aflatoxin (early) a pest and fractal the malignant cells +feral bond/permafrost= awesomesauce.

Pretty similar to everything that's been discussed, but I like my Elite Queen, don't know why all of you wanted it taken out

I've just started playing this deck and I just wanted to take a second and thank everyone.  It's a lot of fun to play and is incredibly resilient.  Can't wait until I can start modifying it myself.

i personally MUCH prefer mindgate rather than fractal. you can take things like pulverizer early, or even protect artifact (thats a big one). you arent limited to just creatures like fractal is.

See the issue I have with it though, is that if you try to do the things you say, you end up having no aether for quints, not to mention having a hard time even getting just 6 aether to play a mindgate and use it once, with the odds against you getting anything useful. The only time you have enough aether to use it much is late game, and at that time I like fractal more for the added possibility of powering through things like miracles and bone walls.

[tyranim]

you do know this is upgraded, no? it only costs 5. besides, from all the experience ive had using it in ccyb, ive had nothing but positive from it. in fact, i sometimes have a lot more aether quanta than i even need.

[Nume]

I said to play it and use it once. 4 + 2 = 6. I'm not saying you cant use it, but I've tried it many times myself, and I just end up having more frustration because I either play it too early and end up not being able to quint my destroyer, or playing it late and having it not even help me much. I also play with a LS + chimera combo to finish the FG off and give me EM, and fractal fits that strat a lot better also since it lets me make a big chimera at the end with fractal which will penetrate any shield and heal me to full.

[Captain Scibra]

Perfect, absolutely perfect...

However i suggest add a purify for scorpio, but its not required, its just in case he gets massive poison on you.

[Celidion]

Purify is pretty much a dead card in 22/24(might be 21, not sure if Dream Catcher has it atm), thus it really isn't worth it. To be honest, even with purify Scorpio is just too time consuming to be worth the time, I personally auto quit him.

[Nume]

I also wouldnt include purify, but i would mention scorpio doesnt necessarily have to be auto quit. He's one of the more difficult gods yes but I'd still put him under dark matter, rainbow, hermes, and even divine glory on difficulty scale. The key to fighting him is getting AM's on his dragons. If he doesnt draw any you probably wont win since he will get huge amounts of poison, but with 2 AM'd dragons he heals you for 26 each turn plus all your SoGs, allowing you to survive a huge amount of poison.

[kobisjeruk]

dream catcher has phsylias and elidnis has pufferfishes so that 20/24 dead
but still i wouldnt suggest using purify in ccyb

[Nume]

Yeah but I've never had the poison damage from dream catcher or elidnis be what causes me to lose to them... . Also, most of the cards in the deck would be better than purify against those 2, so the only 2 it actually has a use against imo are scorpio and morte. And yeah again even if it was 4/24 being useful that still wouldnt justify adding it to the deck .
