(almost) NON-UPGRADED False God Rainbow

Unless eternity is the last card

you have to keep an eye on your time quanta though, I stop drawing with 5 to 7 cards left unless I'm still digging for cards I need or have plenty of time quanta

Thanks BluePriest, that helped a lot. I was playing Sundials the moment I had light quanta to draw from them, so I kept running out of them. Then they would just kill me after I had no protection. Before I read your post I won once against Chaos Lord (and got a Supernova, yay!), but he had a bad draw, with very few creatures and 3 dissipation shields in hand before I could mutate a 7/11 destroy mutant and own him. So, Sundials are just for the last possible moment... I'm going to try it out!

Btw, with 2 quints, should I protect 1 oty and 1 queen, 2 oty, or 1 oty and 1 druid?

[jallenw]

1 oty and 1 druid is the most common for me, but it depends upon the situation.  I almost always want to quint an oty early.  The second quint goes on whoever needs it most depending upon what's going on, but I almost always try to oty/quint as my first creature

Agreed. I usualy quint an oty, and a druid, then rely on the skellies made by the boneyard to be my mutations.

Yeah, Elite Queen has 7hp, so she's safe from a lot more than the elf and after you get your first mutant the comp won't target her anyway, so all you have to worry about is firestorm or plague, and those don't kill her right away like they would the elf, so it makes sense that she can go without the quint most of the time.  I have used eternity to bounce a queen before she dies, draw with the hourglass, and replay her as a roundabout healing method.  that seems to be enough to keep her alive if I need her.

Would throwing in anything of the water element any good, like permafrost shield or flooding?
Because I noticed this deck has nothing that uses water quanta...

[jallenw]

Permafrost shield is the best water addition if you want to try that out.

I had never tried Permafrost until about a week ago, and now I can't believe I mined without it.  I have 2 of them in my deck and 1 bonewall, and it is working out great.

I've tried Permafrost Shield for a couple of games. Didn't seem to make too much of a difference to me. Maybe I need to try for a few more games, but...

Permafrost Shield is very expensive, costs 7 . The unupgraded rainbow deck, without Supernovae, cannot gather a lot of quanta very quickly, so if you're unlucky it would be mid-game until you can play that shield, at which point, more often than not, you'd be dying. In Puppy's FG killer, the deck size is very small and it has 6 Supernovae, which means it can draw the Permafrost Shield fast and play it quickly, thus utilizing it effectively. But for a larger deck without Supernovae, you can't use the shield effectively, and more often than not it'd be dead weight.

But again, Bone Wall unupgraded costs 7 . Maybe I need to drop a few cards in my deck and put in the Permafrost, to see how it works out.

[jallenw]

True, the permafrost shield is best after you have upgraded much of the deck, especially the pillars.  I wouldn't recommend it for the unupgraded version here, but once you have upgraded much of the deck, it is a fine addition to your arsenal.

After looking for a good-shield to add onto my deck i think the fire shield is good because with the Otyugh's it makes it easier to eat them for the Otyughs.
