Title: Deadliest Dose of Venom
Post by: Ifailgood on September 24, 2010, 10:34:57 pm
I was inspired by All the colours of poison (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,10495.0.html), another rainbow poison deck. I didn't like the way he build it, so I built my own version, and here it is.

I avoided using Puffer Fish, because it was waaay too expensive to play, but Physalia still does a great job for only 1 water. The pendulums make sure you get entropy ASAP, and it also powers the Physalia's poison. Arsenic is obviously the weapon of choice. Of course all 3 scorpions are used, unstoppable, blessing is to activate Dune and Death's ability. Mutation is there for when you have no unstoppable/blessing, so you can turn it into something more useful. Twin universe can be used on momentum deathstalker, a really powerful mutant, or your enemy's monster. Epinephrine has good synergy with scorpions as well.

It's fast and has a good win rate. I usually finish the game with 20+ poison counters. ^_^

I am gonna do statistics slowly. I did 8 battles just then, and it's 8 wins so far. One of them against Essence's dark rush in T50 (lol misclick).

Surely if you don't draw a supernova you're instantly finished? as there are not enough towers to rely on. Did you encounter that problem often?

What I'm saying is that most have about 5-7 towers. They have something to fall back on. This only has 2.
And I was asking you personally, how often did you encounter the problem during testing? It wouldn't hurt to give us some rough figures before we jump in and test it.

It has 2 towers and 3 pendulums, if you looked closely enough.

Playing SNova shouldn't be a problem.

You're correct, I apologise for my stupidity. I was going on an assumption of what if you had the towers but no supernovas. Now I realise that they are entropy pendulums (not towers) and will generate death, which means you can play the death cards.

I really shouldn't be here so early in the morning/late at night. My brain doesn't function right.:D

the mutation is for when there is no unstoppable or blessing...so why not put a chaos power there instead? lol

improve mutation is also a good counter to antimattered/poisoned creature (depends on the mutant)
much better than chaos power imo

Antimatter will actually help your scorpion because it acts like a momentum. :D

you're absolutely right
though i have no experience playing with venomous critters, does the AI AM puffer/scorps?
if they do, AI need some serious upgrading

yes they do. Hilarious when I have a life scorpion out and they have a permafrost. OrI have a pufferfish and they have a diamond shield.
But then again they antimatter their own malignant cells! So yes they definately need some intelligence. (mainly for the higher levels and top 50)
