Pillarless Unupped Speedbow (SoP)

[Voxyn]

I've been playing Elements for about a year but this is the first time I've felt inclined to post a deck that I've come up with.  I was messing around after this most recent patch and stumbled on this deck.  It is ridiculously effective and fast for an unupped deck.  The deck is pretty straightforward, you just play your novas and low cost creatures and get SoP out ASAP.  Let it build for a couple rounds and viola.

I added a couple of Wardens for CC and a Steal for PC.  I almost never need them but it helps deal with some of the more troublesome cards.

Let me know what you think.

I like the concept, building a raimbow deck around SoP, although i think your deck could use other creatures that would do much better when paired with SoP. Here's a take on your idea, although upped:

i tried to use creatures that would make the most out of both the hp boost as well as the attack boost SoP offers. Because this strategy is not usually fast enough in upgraded environment, a couple of heals plus dagger plus fog will stall just enough to get your CC options and win condition on time

I understand where you're coming from but I think you've missed some of the key concepts involved in my version.

Also, please try to stay with unupped cards.  I tend to play PvP1 since I do not have a ton of upped cards.

As to the card changes, I think you've pretty much made a totally different style of deck.  The idea of my deck is to get your creatures out as soon as possible, and by using the 1 quanta creatures you can get them out in the first turn and usually get your SoP out by the second.  Using the "better" cards just slows down how quickly you can get cards out.  You made more of a control/stall deck which takes it in another direction.

true, both deck's playstyle are different, but that's because i don't think you can effectively make a rush deck using SoP... SoP thrives on control decks, not rush

Then I suggest you actually try the deck before you post feedback.  I have yet to lose a game using this deck.  Once I get through a significant number of games I will post the stats.


To compare it's speed against common speed grinding decks I played 50 games against AI3.  For comparison:

Win/Loss = 49/1 (Didn't draw a Nova at the start, which I didn't think was even possible since it's the only non-quanta card)
Turns to Win = 7.4

I will do a graboid rush for comparison as well and post stats soon.
