I'm doing an awful lot of rainbows. This is barely a rainbow - 5 elements.

Well, on to the deck itself. I was thinking about Kartis so I was messing with Fractix and decided to Sky Blitz it. Bringing the root from the Instosis supernova, I decided that some drawing power was needed. In came the Hourglass and the Dials. The dials were un-upped at first, not to mess with the mulligan, but I quickly noticed that even with the Cremation Boost (Surprise - Cremation and SNova both give rainbow quanta. Yeaah! ) it was hard to keep up with the Hourglass cost, so I upgraded them. In case I failed to draw a SNova in time, I started out with Ray of Lights.

However, I wanted to OTK, which just wasn't happening with the deck as it was. (4 RoL and 3 MP's, one fractal.) Many times I died for not drawing the next Sundial. I had a Wind Tower and a extra Aether Tower than this version. Confident in that many Aether Towers, in came the Dim Shield.

 I changed the RoLs for Sparks, for extra Sky Blitz damage. Realizing that I'd draw through my deck much faster now, I changed the wind tower for a Ruby Dragon, which was more potential damage. Changing one Aether Tower for another Ruby Dragon was a tricky choice, but I decided that it was worth it. I often found myself with a amazing excess of fire quanta, so the dragon wouldn't be bad.

That did it. Playing a MP and Cremating it over and over again turning it into a ash is the ideal way to go, but Cremating those Sparks isn't bad at all, since you can OTK without them. Sometimes it's not really a OTK since you might get a damage here and there, but most of the time it is.. in a example that you'll probably see a lot, mostly at the end of the game with enough quanta for fractal and skyblitz.


Play (You did this normally) and Cremate all the Sparks. Play and cremate a Minor Phoenix. (8 Fire Quanta * 4 = 32, -2 = 30 +8 = 38. Assuming you played all Supernovas, +8 = 46.)

Next turn, (You'll be drawing and bla bla but I'm not taking that into the example since it's a lot of stuff that you'll do automatically) - Get the Minor Phoenix back to life (45 fire quanta). Play the 2 Minor Phoenixes you have in hand, most likely, and the 2 Ruby Dragons. (24+4=28. 45-28 = 17 fire quanta.) Fractal and play all the Minor Phoenixes you have in hand. (Depending if you're going to draw a skyblitz or if you have it already. If you don't have it, 8 MP's = 16 fire quanta paying. 7 = 14. I'm going with the bare minimum which is 7 here.)

Assuming 3 Minor Phoenixes in table before fractal, +2 Ruby Dragons = 15+15+4+4+4 attack. (42.) After fractaling 7 Minor Phoenixes, 4*7 , 28. 42+28 = 70. Sky Blitz, and ta-da! 140 Damage in one turn. 8 more if you played the last Minor Phoenix (Empty hand.)

I dunno why I did this, but I find it fun and interesting. I assume it works on PVP2, though I haven't tried.

Please Comment, or simply thank you for reading!

Wow, great idea.  I would add in some explosions to take care of those pesky shields, and maybe another spark instead of that dimensional shield;  you'll be starved of aether quanta.

Looks a good idea, but needs moar stall. If not, it will get outrushed before you can build your hand and quanta.

Thanks! ^^

Some of the pesky shields are a problem, specially bonewall, and the h4x shields. Most others are passable, even the Damage Reduction ones. The most annoying one would be Hope, and instead of a explosion I'm thinking of adding a chimera, although I have no idea what to take off for it.

As for the aether quanta, I thought I'd be starved, but most of the time I'm not and generally end up with ~20 aether quanta to fractal, even without playing Dims. I'd change the Dim for a Spark, since it's a possible modification, but the amount of times that Dim has saved my butt are too many for me to give up on it just yet.

Although I haven't said in the opening post, Minor Phoenix isn't the only way to OTK, Sparks work too. Oh, sparks are un-upped because I'm poor and don't have the money to up them. If you do have them upped, go ahead and make them BL's. That will only make the combo easier to pull off, most of the time, and will give more interesting OTK times.

OhaithereOTKman.

It needs a bit more stalling, but a general strategy is to let yourself get hit initially and put down the dials once you're getting in the danger zone. And then draw, draw, draw. That lack of a bit of stalling is why I refuse to give out on the Dims, even though it might be more interesting without it.

If the oponent steals your late dim shield you are in a trouble, so hope you get it soon! lol.

Just wondering: what's that sole hourglass doing in there?


As 1 card you can't really depend on it... Maybe precognition would be better?

Drawing 1 hourglass is better than drawing 1 precognition. That's why.

The difference of drawing power between a Precog and Electrum Hourglass is laughable. In a card combo like this, draw is as much needed as possible.

Well, if you can find something better than the Dim Shield, I'll gladly take it in. I don't want to ruin the >100 HP combo because it actually kills some of the silver with no PC.
