Future FG Killer?

[Demagog]

So I was bored and decided to make this in the trainer. Since dials are getting nerfed and the AI is going to be improved, we might have to dramatically change the rainbow to see a consistent win rate. Anyway, here it is:

This is just a spin off of Uzra's anti-control deck: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=345.0 (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=345.0)

Basically, you fill up your opponent's side with cells using the aflatoxin, protect all of your permanents, and play a dissipation field to absorb the damage you take. It's by no means final, but it's a start. The lances are for any creature control you might need early in the game, or for a faster end to the game (since your goal is to make the FG deck out). The plagues will help the aflatoxins kill any large creatures faster.

So ya, post your suggestions if you have any, and go try it out in the trainer if you want (or a variation). It's all "theoretical" right now since the updated stuff isn't final.

Edit: I modified it by taking out a lance and two towers and adding three phase shields. I think removing a couple more towers and a couple plagues for some more phase shields and some miracles would be good.

Oh and I just beat gemini with it... I'll test my edited suggestion tomorrow.

If you plague, then it will clear up the cancer cells. Is that wanted???

[Evil Hamster]

I agree- Plague has got to go. You WANT to flood your opponent's field with useless creatures, not get rid of them.

[Delreich]

Thunderbolt might be a suitable replacement, for more focused critter control.

[Demagog]

I considered thunderbolt. Plague was just what I chose because you can get rid of all the creatures on the other side (like if you get a slow start and FQ gets a good one). You don't use it once the FG has a cell on their side.

Sorry, i have another noob question. How do you avoid decking out? You don't seem to have any creature you could send back.
Seeing the lots of hourglasses, and eternity in th deck, you surely could just worsen the situation.

[jmizzle7]

There's a Ray of Light there for Eternity to rewind.

[Avenger]

Ahh, thanks. Thought it is a spell card. (me noob)
Now i just have to think on how to get such a huge quantity of aflatoxin

[Demagog]

It should be noted this deck isn't fully tested yet... I would wait before attempting to use this deck in the game. This deck needs to be tweaked first. Also, it's meant to be a slow deck. It will take you a long time to beat an FG with this deck, and other decks may be faster. This deck is my attempt at creating something that consistently beats all FG's, so it's slightly impractical if you're trying to farm them (unless nothing else does well anymore, which I slightly doubt).

I'll test this more when I get a chance, so in the mean time use something else, or test it if you want. Just don't think it's final.

I just tested it, and it isn't very good. Against ANY god with growth, you need to spend more than 1 aflapoison to make sure it doesn't get out of hand, and Hermes will kill you through fire lances anyway. Scorpio and Morte will poison you to death. Graviton will momentum his way through you. FFQ will kill you before you get enough quantum to play a dim shield, and since you're trying to fill the board with 1/1 malignant cells, the 4/2 fireflys are a problem.

And that's even assuming you get a good draw. One game I was left without aflapoisons for the first 5 turns, and another I didn't draw a single dim shield. Most games you'll only get one aflapoison early on when you need four or three.

So, in my experience, not very good.

[Avenger]

Waah
This is the only deck without sundials. I just now got into the game. How will i get to farm FG's then?

[Demagog]

Use a small rainbow, 30-35 cards.
