@parasite:  Stats near 50% are definitely possible, but you really need to know the false god decks/AI behaviors inside and out.  Sometimes you slow play the dials (vs. rush w/o PC), sometimes you push them out quickly (poison), sometimes you stockpile and play them all at once (vs. pulvies, heavy PC).  I've played tousands of games with various doll decks at this point and the more you play, the more little tricks you can pick up on.  One simple move that many people don't know about is to petrify the opposing weapon early game by playing a doll + BB (I assume if you've played 10+ games you've learned this by now).  Its always good to try different strategies in different situations and see what works best!

FUN FACT! : If you paste the deck code for this deck in the import/export you get the deck, 'Hourglass 1 and only.'
                    If you paste the url for this thread in the deck import/export you get.....an 'Hourglass 1 and only!!'

Unintentional Easter egg ftw.

I finally managed to win both Dark Matter and Decay with this deck. So all 29 FGs are indeed possible to win with that Nightmare modified deck, if you're lucky enough.

Tried this deck out today, and it works quite well. the hourglass definately helps with draw power. Even though it is expensive your havenothing else tos pend time quanta on after the 3rd SN, and drawing that 1 extra BB or PU really does make the difference.
I definately prefer this over CCYB, much faster

[LordScimitar]

Maybe I'm an idiot...but I've lost 11/12 so far. One lone victory. I'm getting destroyed.

Put out a voodoo doll. Try to get 5-6 BBs on it before copying it with twin universe. GP one, and then GP the other once the first is dead/has very little life left. Also, use TUs as support, copying their strongest creatures to also damage them, after the strong voodoo doll is copied. Play your hourglass asap and use sundials to slow enemy so you can get the strong voodoo doll before GPing it/get it out faster.

And if your second gravity pull is in bottom 5 cards you're finished basically.

I sold a lot of my other upgraded cards to get this deck and so far been a massive disappointment.

And nightmare really isn't helping me at all. A few damage...is all.

[Wizardcat]

Your problem: You're playing Twin Universe on the Doll before it's damaged. When a damaged Doll is TUed, the new one inflicts damage to the opponent equal to the amount of HP it is missing, effectively multiplying the damage done.

[bucky1andonly]

1 voodoo + 2 BB = 60 hp, reduce down to 10hp or lower without dying, then TU 3 times, 200 dmg (when left at 10hp)
1 voodoo + 3 BB = 80 hp, reduce down to 10hp or lower without dying, then TU 2 times, 210 dmg(when left at 10hp)
1 voodoo + 4 BB = 100hp, same as with 3 BB's
1 voodoo + 5 or 6 BB's = only 1 TU after taking 100 dmg

I know this sounds inane, but put a simple strategy in the main post (right under the deck, preferably) so we don't get anymore confused players who don't understand the interaction between voodoo and TU.

I can't believe I had to read the whole first page to figure out how this deck worked.   

[LordScimitar]

Aha. I did scan through several pages, thus how I knew to use nightmare instead of another voodoo doll. I just...somehow missed it. Thanks again. I can't wait to give it another try.

This was bound to happen to me eventually, but turns out when you have a mutant voodoo, it keeps the voodoo passive but the TU damage doesn't function 

Made for a fun pic, but don't get too excited if you get a mutant voodoo from your voodoo
