chaos lord has 4 steals as well...
but yeah, I will amend my statement...
basically, this deck does well against gods with little PC

[Higurashi]

Chaos Lord has 2 Explosions and 2 Steals, btw. Just a nitpick.

doesn't it double?

[Higurashi]

Uh, yes. 1x2=2

[TheIdioticIdiot]

oh ok..

also, I know this could just be my bad luck, but I just got this deck yesterday, played around 40 games or so... won about 4 of them...
and I did play a lot of the "easy" gods listed... got rushed by all of them...

going back to my trusted CCYB, blue nymph edition

[P-e-K]

so slow, but so powerfull and soooo fun to play 

thanks for the great idea !

my variant :

Code: [Select]

6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6rn 6rn 6rn 6rn 6rn 6rn 71c 77f 77i 77i 7ai 7aj 7gp 7gq 7k0 7k5 7q5 7q8 7q8 7q9 80h 80j
yes, I hate losing my important cards, hence the TWO PAs.

sundial is here only in case I need both eternity (from slot and crusader) on a single turn (happens a lot actually) and I want to prevent the crusader from being delayed/frozen etc. in the other cases sundial is never a dead card, it can sometimes help surviving the rush and add speed with the drawing.

hourglass also helps drawing faster when simply running eternity wouldn't grant enough protection and I need a shield fast.

finally, improved heal for EM

I never really understood why the 30-card version wasn't a 32-card version with 2 Hourglasses. It works a lot better that way for me.

[The_Mormegil]

You're already Time-starved. I wouldn't want Hourglasses in there.

You're already Time-starved. I wouldn't want Hourglasses in there.

Exactly how I thought it.

Using Eternity aggressively starves really fast, and the net result is almost the same as while you're using Hourglass:
I use Hourglass, FG draws 2 new cards - I draw 2 new cards (per turn).
vs.
I use Eternity, FG draws 1 new card - I draw 1 new card (per turn).

But the true beauty of this strategy comes when you'll get FG Eternity-locked:
I use Eternity, FG draws 0 new cards - I draw 1 new card! => I win.

I might be going slightly off topic here but:

The current problem I'm facing with CCYB is that I lose alot of matches versus the easier gods (while winning against dreamcatcher for example). What I mean is, gods like Ferox, Paradox and Elidnis just kill me before I have my defenses up. Today I even lost from Neptune (didn't get a shield, he got 2 dragons out quickly) wich made me decide to change something.

Is this deck more stable against those easy gods? Does it set up defenses more quickly? Your god-by-god breakdown is currently based on a rather small ammount of games. Could people with experience in using this deck tell me more about this?

for me, CCYB has never failed (doesn't it never lost, just mean that it never because of a bad draw)
lonestalker for me is 1) slow, 2) low win rate (it's should high, but i just have terrible luck...) 3) chaotic... (so many deaths that I want to add in condors..)

[The_Mormegil]

IF you play this correctly, it's win rate is VERY high. And it's way more fun than CCYB to be sure. It's only problem is, I never had a game run for less than 30 turns.
