Hourglass 1 and only!! (voodoo deck)

[Masterfurry]

...
Gods I Consider Auto-Quits (will add as I play them)
Osiris
...

I've played now some 30 games with this deck, and I've faced Osiris 4 times, RNG on my side I suppose. Out of those 4 encounters I've managed to win 3, so that FG is definitely not worth auto-quit.

Osiris has 4 Rewinds, and if it gets more than 1 of those it can become impossible to win. But if it does get only 1 of those it's still quite easily beatable. You can try to lure it using Rewind early by playing Voodoo Doll without any buffs. If that doesn't work, then you can TU BB-buffed Voodoo Doll so you'll have another 0|100-140 Doll target to Gravity Pull if one gets Rewound.

AI won't Rewind unbuffed Dolls; tried that in Trainer, and they just left them alone.

OK, maybe it was Eternity ability that AI used on my unbuffed Doll then.

I really like the way this deck can draw cards really fast, and that made me think whether that 3rd Doll is needed. I'm now testing how changing to 2 Dolls + 1 Holy Flash or Nightmare works. I might also try that Antimatter, as Masterfurry mentioned.

Thank you, it actually quite helps, but I don't think I have it in my upped voodo deck.

Looks like Voodoo Panic to me.

Off topic, didn't I play you in pvp once on Kong?
I think you used Fractal Sparks with Graveyard...

EDIT: Wow, it works pretty well. It does win quite a lot and I prefer it over Shakar's.

Changed the title cos this isn't quite worthy of those "superlatives". That being said, now that I've played my first 50 games against FG's using this deck (with 1 little tweak) my wins/losses have been 23/27. That equals really awesome 46% wins for such a fast deck: winning games take 3-6 min for me. To me this is easily the best Voodoo Doll deck that I've tried! Adds karma ...eh reputation.

Yeah, this is great.
I have been using it an it works really well.
The dials and hourglass really do help the deck draw quickly, and everything works.

Impressive numbers for sure. Mind sharing your tweak? I'd like to give this a few spins with the fg's.

Could this possibly work unupped against lv 5's? Just to learn how to use it properly before upping/moving on to FG's?

-1 Doll +1 Nightmare

This deck absolutely positively needs Supernovas, Nova just wont work here at all. Another really important upped card in this deck is Basilisk Blood, cost 2 is a lot more than 1 since you usually need to boost Doll 4-5 times with those. Basically all the rest can be used unupped. If you use unupped Sundials, then you should take out Hourglass and maybe add 4th Aether Pillar to get enough quanta (14 or 21) for 2-3 Parallel Universes.

WoW! I am impressed!
This deck is soooo fast - I love it.
I use towers instead of pillars and often that makes the difference, since it means two quanta instead of one against seism etc.
Sometimes I just had enough quanta to play my TUs so that one quantum counted.
Other than that I think it is pretty much perfect as it is. I win often enough - no idea if 30 or 50% - Sometimes I loose a couple of games in a row - mostely due to unstoppables, and sometimes I win one game after the other. It does not matter so much - after a time playing this deck you get a feeling of when to quit and be relaxed about it - No game ever took me longer than 4 minutes - mostly less than 3 - I am loving it - faster than every RoL-Hope deck I've ever played.

Only drawback - gets boring after a while - but thats true for most decks without mutants.

Thanx for sharing that deck

This deck is good, but sometimes can be slow if you get a bad hand...

I have NEVER gotten a bad hand and still won.
If you have a bad hand, you autoquit to be honest...
But the cards don't make many bad hands unless you draw like no supernovas....

[siks]

Hmm - i mostly start playing with a bad hand and quit when I see I will loose - takes about 3 turns to find out. Very often I still win.  But what is slow? Compared to the incredible speed some games with this deck can produce - agreed. At the same time I think the slow games are still fast compared to most other FG-Decks. 5 minute games with this deck are loooooong games - with most other FG decks I'd consider 5 minutes normal or even fast.

[bucky1andonly]

no supernova in the first 3-4 turns, ya, just quit, that should be obvious, and it is true, the only truly bad hand to start with is a hand with no supernovas.
