(1.272) Evaluation of Contemporary CCYB - statistics and farming guide

[MeetJSquared]

Thanks for the quick response!  I didn't realize TheForbiddenOracle made the original post with the variants, but regardless, your input is appreciated.  Looks like I'm going to stick with the variation I'm currently using.  I will try a Nymph version if I get lucky enough.  I only have  and  atm...

[siriosirio]

very nice tread, i have to UP some cards and i go to test it

[omegareaper7]

I disagree, unstoppable is mainly to get through bonewall because otherwise it is EXTREMELY tough to get damage through them

If available, air nymph, enough said.

[Terrilocks]

Yea Air Nymph is epicly useful... Only problem is gods that use reflective shields. I decked out versus miracle as I couldnt get enough damage from my Lava destroyers in between all the miracles. You have to use the pulvy to destroy his light pillars and then get lucky on what turns he has 12 light quanta stored up.

I still wanna get mitosis in the deck somehow... mitosis Elite Chargers are EPIC.

Mitosis+SoR

[Terrilocks]

Problem is it then the deck starts gettingn bigger and bigger

I use SoR with entropy nymph, air nymph, and mitosis so realistically need 3 of them which takes up a bit of space in combinationm with the cratures and all the other stuff required just for staying alive...

This is what I'm going with atm which seems pretty decent.

Code: [Select]

6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6rn 6rn 6rn 6rq 6rq 6rq 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6ug 749 77f 77f 77i 7ap 7dq 7dq 7gp 7gp 7k6 7k6 7ng 7q5 7q5 7q5 80h 80h 80h

Why 3 SoRs but only 2 nymphs? Is the 3rd SoR for mitosing Destroyers? I think 2 SoRs is more then enough anyway. Also, drop the grav shield and perhaps the PA if you are getting a lot of bad hands.

I'm currently using +Permafrost to OP deck, works great.

[Colossus]

I'm using a very very small mod to your original version, tttt.

Now that you know what I'm using.

I have a Purple Nymph, and I see others using them in their decks. Can anyone show stats with a Purple Nymph, versus the 2-3 antimatter version?

I don't want the Air Nymph used though, as I don't have one and it'd change the numbers.

I can't figure out if I should use my Nymph, or just use the antimatters is my question?

[Bonestorm]

Strange to see no Jade Shield in the OP deck tttt, I know you've spewed out a ton of CCYB mods on the original CCYB thread so you've obviously tried more than the 7 or 8 mods I have, I was just wondering when/how you concluded Jade Shield wasn't a significant enough addition ???

~What I've settled at (I don't quit or look to quit any games using this.) Regardless of whether some remove it as preference or quanta balance, I'd just like to point out that I've always found Miracle as fine with 2 Sanc.

^ I have Jade listed in the optional cards, but I play with 3 Permafrosts instead of 2 Permafs+ Jade XD. Miracle is playable with the Sancts, but overall I don't like. If I'm losing the game due to damage despite my healing, Miracle is unlikely to change the course of the battle.

[silux]

3 antimatter are more worthy than a entropy nymph;
more reliable and cheap to play.
Sometimes I use entropy nymph just to 'quint' other weaker creatures and then revert the attack when I need damage.
The AI will unlikely target a firefly queen with -3 attack

At least 1 PA is essential; win condition against decay(sanctuary), seism, jezebel and it helps with other FGs.
Firefly queen synergises pretty well with steam machine.
Jade shield is a win against Octane and Decay
Phase shield helps early survival and ending masteries!

Yea I dropped the mitosis and 3rd SoR - it was just soemtimes annoying to be beaten on deckout by miracle when I had a clear advantage. Another addition I toyed with was eternity+flyingweapon+SoR; get that and a mitosis creature out and you can never deck out!

As others have said, the PA is also important - I tried running without it a few times and found it was really a nice card to have sometimes and good for peace of mind.

As for the grav shield, no way am I dropping it. It has saved me too many times to count. If I block their higher damage creatures, so only the smaller ones can attack and my SoG and Sanctuaries takes care of it until my Purple Nymph appears and owns everything. Osiris most often can't damage you at all if you have a grav shield and destroy his trebuchets, and the new god with anubi, crusaders and hourglasses cannot get through the shield at all if he (inevitably) endows his crusaders.

Seriously, I even toyed with dropping another permafrost for another grav shield... Whilst jade shield is good for octane and decay, they're also not particularly hard to beat without it so I didn't think it's worth it.

I often wondered about that too. The thing is, I'm only using SoR and Entropy Nymph now because the shard can also be used on my air nymph. I tried a combination with just one shard and one entropy nymph but that made the shard tied with one specific card which wasn't particularly economical. Now that it has more than one use, I think it's more of a viable choice.
The main thing I like about the entropy nymph is if you managed to get it out SoR and quint, you nearly always win the game: it was awesome beating Scorpio with a poison count of 42 and still getting an EM
Summary: Only use Nymph+SoR if you have another creature you can use another SoR on too; perhaps mitosis?

This is what I'm using now:
