(almost) NON-UPGRADED False God Rainbow

But they are still useful, especially if you cant get  from the towers

They're probably more useful in less monster-using FG killers.

 I keep my response, because it goes along with the comment you made there as well. I know it is not the BEST choice. Feral bond is definitely the IDEA choice for this deck, however, sometimes you dont always have the luxury of the idea choice, especially since feral bonds cost was nerfed with the update.  Its a good backup plan that doesnt really hurt in any situation, and helps in next to all, even if it doesnt help as much as feral bond would.

If you looked a few pages back at Jallen's post about SoG's, than you will find that they create more bad draws than they are useful.

Ive read it, but I dont agree. Bonds ONLY WORK when you are getting a good start and when you can get creatures on the field. Its been a while since Ive played this deck, Ive recenetly been using yaladiles angel and Puppychows fg, thats when you realize the effectiveness of the SoG's. The usefulness is little noticed until you rely on them. I agree most people wont see much of a difference. However, I have tried adding it in myself, and seen a big difference in it. 2-3 seems to be good, as 1 is too little as he said, but 4 is overkill with the bonds.

First victory against Rainbow today, using this deck - though I did add an extra Quintessence (protect both oty and druid) and a second Eternity (lost a couple fights when Eternity was my last card!).  I did not get mastery, his insane amount of hourglasses kept throwing creatures at my bone wall and I ended up relying on empathy to survive.  Decked him out, otherwise I probably would have lost.  I'm a new player, maybe 3 weeks, and appreciate all the help.

I've got the deck about half upgraded:
Firestorm
Bone Wall+
one Feral Bond
all Hourglasses/Oty
both Quints
Phase Shield
both Steals
Druid
four Towers

Working on the towers right now.  One problem I often have is not enough pillars out early, and I end up wasting sundials at the start without light quanta, and having to discard.  This deck has a lot of medium-cost cards, so if it gets a slow start, it gets clogged fast.

would it work if i added supernovas?
oh and would a pharoah make up for an otogy or however you spell it? thx

I guess it could work if you exchange a couple of pillars for Supernovas...

As for Pharaoh... Don't. Theoretically, Pharaoh could replace both FFQ and Otyugh; however, Pharaoh costs 9 , and this deck is already  -heavy. And it would take three Scarabs to reach the potential of one Otyugh, and FIVE Scarabs to reach the potential of Elite Otyugh. That would simply take too long, and waste too much quanta. I've thought about it, and it's much more efficient to just stick with Otyugh.

[Scaredgirl]

Yeah definitely not Pharaoh.

I've been trying to get Pharaoh working in other decks but I have to say that the card pretty much sucks. There are much better ways of getting Scarabs, like Fractal for example. Pharaoh is just too slow.

In this particular deck Pharaoh would be a disaster just like Bloodshadow already explained. The key to every good rainbow deck is balanced quantum usage. Pharaoh uses the wrong element and tons of it.

I've been trying out this deck for a while, and despite having very few upgrades I can beat most of the easier gods. Though it can be quite luck dependent with your draw order. Twice now I lost two sure wins because my eternity was at the very bottom (making you draw out). You have 8 shield cards (6x sundial, bone shield, phase shield). If you draw too few of them early on you're usually dead.

The quantum usage of this deck is not quite balanced though. There's nothing that uses water. And only one card that uses earth, for only 2. Darkness is hardly used either.

Of course you can't just add cards without ruining the balance. Still I keep trying to think of ways to balance its quantum usage more.

There just don't seem to be any useful water cards though. But maybe plate armor could be useful for your otys?

would i be ok to have 2 eternity and a flying weapon card?

Hello,

I just started this game a few days ago and been hooked ever since.
I came across this thread after looking for an affordable starter deck and have
been having nice successes. Only made a small alteration, I took out the 2nd Otyugh
and 4th hourglass for 2 more quinteccense. Everyone of the 3 beasts are key
pieces of the final setup and I really don't wanna play anyone of them without a Quintessence
Once i've cleared the opponents army I usually end up:
make firefly > Otyugh devour > graveyard skeleton > mutate > 5/5(usually^^).
Also my favorite mutation by miles is any creature with steal as its ability,
you can just take everything away from your opponent.

There are 2 cards I really fear though, the Fireshield and the Carapace Shield,
I try to steal them as much as I can but this isnt always possible, and with a
quintessence on your creature you can't put it back in your deck to heal/remove
poinsons from it. Any tips vs those cards?

But awesome starter deck and very affordable.
So big thanks to you Scared girl.

Unstoppable is one option, use it to most important creature. In my 30/40 card deck is usually 1 or 2 unstoppables to resolve problems with bonewall/fireshield/turtle shield/permafrost.
