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

[Electrum]

I was thinking about doing +1 PA, +3 Liquid Shadow, +1 Aflatoxin.

This would use up some otherwise unused quanta, help with some of the Gods with PC, and give a better chance at gods like Jez where you need a PA early.  The liquid shadow would work for extra damage with AM and be great against gravity FGs with their high health.  Alfatoxin just helps muddy their field.

What do you guys think?

Aflatoxin is used in a wide variety of CCYBs, PA is debatable, LS is interesting but 3 should definitely be trimmed down to 1, at most 2 because you already have trouble brining out antimatter and that's with the mark

Love this deck, much more effective than the old one. I've got all the cards and am working towards a +1 Jade Shield variant.

This is what I'm using now:

Code: [Select]

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

I really want to use this version, but I don't have  Nymph and the Oracle has been stingy with me the last month.

I would say 2.  8 Darkness quanta isn't too bad, especially since you don't use it elsewhere.  Since you wouldn't want to use it unless you have AM, though, it doesn't make sense to have 3, I suppose.

If you're running 3 IA, then 2 LS is good.  If only 2 IA, then probably just 1.

And for some reason, I can't get myself to run just 1 PA.

Will try out Alfatoxin in my deck today.

New variant:

Debating whether I should add another antimatter or not, thoughts?

[Terrilocks]

Hehe, most recently the oracle has been a great help to me - a nice change after months of bugger all...

I got another entropy nymph and put that in as well - if you can get one of them out early, you normally win so doubling the odds seems a good bet.

I also eventually worked out a decent way to get my Dark nymph in there for some triple nymph action.

Adding a mind gate for fun also sometiems pays off

New Mod - definitely my favourite and most consistent so far.

Code: [Select]

And sorry about the crappy picture quality!

It was a ridiculously close game - I was on 3hp at one time... In case you're wondering how I kept the ice shield, I basically played it only when I absolutely had to for fear of it being stolen or destroyed. If he'd stolen it and frozen my entropy nymph at all...
 
Edit 2: Haha, been playing this on and off during the day and just beat Akebono too. Got fairly lucky with my cards, but who said the grav shield wasn't worth it? Blocked all his attacks, antimatter nymph, then liquid shadow as lobotomizer.

FG farming tips:

- keep the FG decks topic (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,7919.0.html) opened while playing if you don't know what cards they have.
