bripod's 500hp EM Deck mod

[bripod]

To date, I believe that this deck ( variant below ) has achieved the largest payout of any deck in the history of the game.

Not saying that this deck is superior to any other deck, it's just that all the variables lined up for a 500hp EM over #2 in Plat.

This score is beatable but it's gonna take another fat hp deck against a top ranked Plat to do it...

Now that ^ is pretty freakin' amazing.  Grats on the win (and the deck is pretty sweet as well)!

Hey guys!

Recently, my friend convinced me to finally try out this deck. I've seen some of his screenshots of impressive payouts (and that 12000 payout above looks incredible though I realize it's rare) and I thought I'd give this deck a go to see how well I could do.

The problem is, I don't exactly have a complete set of upgraded cards for this deck. I've played with two versions so far, a completely unupgraded version and a partially upgraded version below

I'm not sure of the proper upgrade order for the cards at the moment. I've had a couple of ideas but I'm not sure if they're the best. To me, the eternity should be my top priority considering time quanta is an essential, and then the carapace's afterwards for extra defense and stalling. After that I'm slightly clueless (SoG's so I can enchant artifact all 6 at once? Enchant artifacts/Stone Skin to use less earth quanta early?) I was wondering if I could get some help from somebody more experienced with the deck? Thanks!

Once I get more upgraded cards, I'll make my own mods to see how well they work. Here's to some hours of (hopefully successful) grinding! Thanks for the deck idea bripod!

PS. Don't mind the random upgrades lol, the single cards are ones I've won.

I use the first one when there aren't many SoFo decks and when there are a lot of BH decks and I use the second one when I encounter lots of SoFo.

Spoiler for that moment when you actually defeat the opponent:

In a 60 card deck for draw chances I prefer 20 towers, where the deck only has 16 I highly reccomend you unupgrade the sundials ian.

Um, why though? Unupped sundial cost 1 and upped costs nothing.

BUT there are more chances of starting with Sundials and no pillars in hand. Zero-cost based mulligan, you know

With as much quanta as he has, the chance of sundials screwing the mull is pretty low, isn't it?

...which is exactly the same regardless if they're upped or not. In fact, assuming that you start with dials and no pillars, having them upped can keep you alive against a good rush.

Like I said, in a 60 card deck I honestly prefer 20 quantum pillars. Ian only has 16.
And kirby, mulligan is effected by 0 cost cards. Sundial unupped is 1 . Therefore is does NOT effect the mulligan. Sundial upped costs no quantum. Therefore it DOES effect mulligan. If X does not effect N, and Y effects N, Y>X in terms of effecting N. AKA upped sundial effects mulligan more than unupped sundial.

I was testing the 19 pillar version last night (SoSe + Mindgate) but looks like ian already changed it. I don't have a copy of the deck anymore, too. But IIRC it should be like this:

The mindgate was a nice addition. On the games that I drew it, I drew various PC/CC that helped me a lot to survive. However, the SoSe rarely ever gave anything that helped for stalling. Hoping for a creature to come out of SoSe on the times where the enemy has no creatures to mindgate was a problem, too. One time I got a Shrieker vs a stall, which was hard to maintain. I disliked the lack of a miracle, too. It made me miss out on some potential EM's.

I'll try a mix of the new one and the old, but minus the upped sundials. Quanta was already kinda starved at 19 pillars, 16 with 6 cards to mess with mulligan probably isn't a good idea.
