(almost) NON-UPGRADED False God Rainbow

[Mantriel]

I just wanted to thank you, this is a great thread, great deck.

I replaced upgraded Fallen Druid with unupped Fallen Elf so that I can get this deck in the "Non-Upgraded" section of the Deck Archive where this belongs.

I recommend everyone to upgrade Fallen Elf first.

Well, I liked your deck very much, but I have some SoGs here in my storage.. if I put them, will the deck have a better winning chance? Should I replace any card with it? I am looking forward getting a reply soon. Thanks.

Yes, but only 50% cheater because I did have "minimum of 6-7 upped cards" in the original post.

I personally wouldn't take SoG's, especially now that they got nerfed, but you should try them. Maybe they will work for you.

I am using this deck with almost the exact cards, but I replaced Bonds with 4 SoG and they work great in the early game when you haven't got an army of skeles yet.

OKAY. My last card was Eternity, so I decked out against an easy fake god, which I was almost killing (Chaos Lord).

Now I can say I entered the list of the most ridiculous deaths of Elements.

Hi, here are some questions about this deck and topic

1 I've only been playing this game for about a week now; I know there are some cards that were added only very recently (like the pendula). Is it correct to state that this deck wasn't designed to take advantage of these cards yet?  (I'm not sure if it would change anything anyway.)

2 And what's a decent winning-% with this deck?
I achieve 18 % (20 wins in 115 games and counting), with gods often beating me to pulp before I even blink my eyes, even though they seem 'possible' with a bit luck next to a few gods that are possible without any bad luck (eg incarnate).

Details:
God   win-loss ( EM , cards won)
Chaos Lord 1-3  (1,0)
Dark Matter 0-3  (0,0)
Decay 1-1  (0,0)
Destiny 1-0  (0,1)
Divine Glory 0-4  (0,0)
Dream Catcher 0-4  (0,0)
Elidnis 0-10  (0,0)
Eternal Phoenix 1-4  (1,1)
Ferox 0-2  (0,0)
Fire Queen 2-5  (2,1)
Gemini 1-4  (1,0)
Graviton 0-8  (0,0)
Hermes 0-1  (0,0)
Incarnate 6-2  (5,3)
Miracle 0-3  (0,0)
Morte 0-3  (0,0)
Neptune 4-1  (4,1)
Obliterator 0-9  (0,0)
Octane 0-6  (0,0)
Osiris 0-3  (0,0)
Paradox 3-4  (2,1)
Rainbow 0-5  (0,0)
Scorpio 0-5  (0,0)
Seism 0-5 (0,0)
Total: 20-95 (16,8)
20 wins and 8 cards out of 115 games ...

3 This topic is full of slight and more serious adaptations of the original deck; has anyone taken the effort of compiling a list and rigorously testing them in say 100 games or something? 
Or maybe it's considered 'not worth the effort', this deck being some transient phase in order to obtain a fully upped deck?


Tnx 

[Kyo1995]

Bro, I think you should just pay more attention to what you're doing, because without ANY card upped I get at least 30% winning rate (now that I upped some of them it is even bigger). My tip is: You're doing something wrong, but it's hard to tell you what it is. Good luck finding out!

[The Emperor]

Have you actually been keeping statistics over quite a few games to confirm that 30% win rate?

Because your win rate may seem higher than it actually is. Also results may be incorrect because you faced the same god multiple times and didn't take that into account.


Here's a write-up of a typical game vs Hermes

[100-200]
4 x quantum pillar, empathic bond, Hourglass, sundial
(Me) using pillars
(H) using 3 fire towers


[100-200]
empathic bond, hourglass, sundial, Qpillar
(Me) using pillar
(H) add 3 more burning towers


[100-200]
2 x Sundial, Hourglass, Empathic bond
(Me) Doing nothing. (Saving sundial until there's damage on table)
(H) Launching Fire Spectre (2|3)

[98-200]
Empathic bond, Hourglass, 2 x sundial, graveyard
(Me) put up hourglass
(H) ablaze fire spectre, put up another one

[92-200]
EB, 2 x Sundial, Graveyard, Qpillar, Otyugh
(Me) put up pillar, saving otyugh until quint arrives
(H) add towers, ablaze spectres

[82-200]
EB, 2 x Sundial, Graveyard, Otyugh, quint, sundial
(Me) Put up quinted otyugh, saving other cards
(H) triple Fire lance , burning tower

[32-200]
EB, 2 x sundial, graveyard, sundial, Rain of Fire, quint
(Me) Swallowing biggest spectre, put up graveyard, emphatic bond
(H) Destroys emphatic bond, hourglass, adds another fire lance

[13-200]
 3 x sundial, Rain of Fire, quint, druid
(Me) swallow second spectre, Hermes has no creatures left
(H) Rage elixir kills my skeleton

[13-200]
3 x sundial, RoF, quint, druid, pillar
(Me) put up pillar
(H) fire lance. I loose.

Maybe I should have used the sundials sooner, saving more hp to endure the fire lances. Easy to say in retrospect, but he could have been hitting me with 3 crimson dragons the moment I ran out of sundials just as well.
[edit]

I've changed my play-style during the first few turns, from "trying not to get killed" to "try to draw as many cards as possible" and upgraded quite a few cards. Then I did another 100 battles and won 27 (24% if corrected to give all gods equal weight). Better than 17 but still not "at least 30%".

does this still work?

Obviously, there aren't any reasons why it shouldn't work.
