Here is a simple little deck that tries to maximize the minor-vampire effect via momentum+adrenalin:

Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
4vg 4vg 5ut 5ut 5ut 5ut 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6ve 6ve 6ve 6ve 6ve 6ve 74a 74a 74a 74a 7an 7an 7an 7an 80h 80h 80h 80h 8pj


It works pretty good against AI3 or bronze-arena, a bit too slow and vulnerable against stronger enemies. I am looking for suggestions to improve it, the 2 dissipation shields could be replaced with something more useful, but I could not think of anything that would benefit the deck more. The pendulums can be replaced by towers of course, or better to split them 3-3, but I do not have upped towers, so I used all pendulums. The vampires should NOT be upgraded, because this way they are cheap to play and get maximum benefit from the adrenalin.

The combo is obvious from the deck: play vampire+unstoppable+epinephrine+quintessence
If you are fairly confident the opponent does not have CC, you can play it partially and add the missing pieces later (mind you the quint has to be last).

It will go through shields and each combo provides 12 damage + 12 healing per turn.

They are just a simulation, and so are you!

I'd take out the diss shields. Don't like the idea of you losing your precious quanta. Additionally, you're relying on a 4 card combo, with only 4 creatures, so it doesn't look quite stable.

How about this version?

The QT helps with quanta stability, no longer need to wait for 2 SN to play a combo, and the shield is cheap and does not mess with the quanta needed for SN burst. I was also trying sanctuaries or hourglasses in those spots, each have their advantages, but a shield seems to help more.

you dont need 6 SN on this deck, it will run perfectly well with just 4 of them

use those 2 additional slots for more creatures imo or hourglasses to speed through the deck

if you want I played this version in the past with good results here and there.
beware: I am a paranoid and I like to keep my deck safe from harm...

suffers the same problem as yours (it's not stable...), but it's lot of fun when it works

Why the sundial instead of electrum hourglasses? Unless you can't resist the temptation (a.k.a. how my CCYB lost my first match back in the times of FG grinding) of clicking hasten when you're already got the combo out, hourglasses are usually better.
More supernovas are better, as you're going full rainbow here. Steals compete with minor vampires. 1 additional M. vamp with a butterfly effect might do... not sure about it.
Use some sanctuaries and more protective shields (not the fire buckler... permafrost is a good one btw) to stall before you get the combo out and heal back up.

Am I changing it too much?...
PVE shouldn't be all about copying a deck code and converting time into electrum, score, and potentially rares.
If the only way to derive fun from a game is its PVP content, then non-hardcore players a.k.a. the mass are alienated from the hardcore community.

Those SNs seem to be overkill. Why not just use a mark of :darkness and use regular novas?
