BOOM!  Look at that BEAUTE!  Ahhh man that's some good traditional control rainbow.

So I was looking at the problems control rainbow has, and I decided to fix them.

Problem:  after your deck is drawn, your card advantage ends.
Solution: Mindgate.  Sure, it's more expensive, but it costs aether, which isn't used late game, and it frees up so you can use your eternity.
Problem:  Pulverizer and Eternity can't both be your weapon
Solution:  Butterfly effect.
Problem:  Stalling deosn't always work, relies on certain draws, and is a short term fix
Solution:  Shards.  Shards assume that the TOTAL healing from the turns that they are in play are greater than the damage the FG deals in one turn.  A sundial prevents 1 turn of damage.  A shard prevents 5 damage per turn.  So after 6 turns, one shard would cancel out 30 damage.  If, the turn before a false god kills you, it would deal 30 damage, then you've broken even with shards.  In my experience, FGs use more of a ramp deck, and when the kill you, it takes at least 6 turns and they don't have 30 damage in time.  Still, switching for sundials might not be a bad call.  I just think shards are better late game.
Problem:  Lack of late game control.  I mean... two otyugh are good... but you can't force the AI to keep feeding you, and you can't stop it from playing immortal stuff.
Solution:  Aflatoxin.  Free otyugh food that cannot pass your ice shield and disallows obnoxious opponents creatures.
Problem:  Dark Matter
Solution:  ...I'll get back to you on that one.


This isn't really new, and I suppose it isn't the best, but it provides some solutions to problems the other clichebowwhybothers have.

EDIT:  So apparently mindgate is still ??.  Go figure.

Looks nice, I'll test it later, looks like it has that control bow old-timer feel, with a little bit of modern day CCYB tossed in.

*Licks*
Those are Raisins!

Aside from the creepy title, it looks nice - a v1.25 controlbow. Stupid Dark Matter and his C-C-C-Combo Breaker.

Aflatoxin or Bone Yard?

Why the Feral Bond?

Since the Shards cover the healing, I would assume that the Bond is there to help you with EMs, which seems like a sound investment.

Perhaps it might be better to take Heal for this instead. Give it a stroke of its mane, and it turns into a plane and then it turns back a-gain. When you
feed it 2

A cool strategy tip:

Reverse your opponents cells or creatures that can be butterfly effect'd, and then mindgate them so you can use them yourself.

Good one. I use a mindgate specialized anti-FG deck(Zeru's Mirage deck), and when I vs Osiris I mindgate a rewind from him. Then next turn I rewind a sacrab and mindgate 6 copies with my mindgates. Easily catching him in the scarab race.

I found this hilarious XD

Anyways, the deck looks really solid. Might go and test this

[Terroking]

Problem:  Dark Matter
Solution: Zanz getting around to designing that quanta-protection Aether card.

That aside, looks like a very nice all-around deck that I would probably at least give another quint, kicking out a Mindgate and throwing in another Hourglass, but maybe that's just me. I love to have all my creatures immortalized, and that quint+oty is really the only way to win vs. some gods. (Although Mindgate is probably a huge help by getting rid of opposing creatures via extra CC, and drawing out what their own with creature replicas. Meh)

Nice job Gli1tch. I may have to put my own FG deck on the table soon

I mentally lol'ed at this.


It does still look like most other rainbow FG-farmers, but you address given problems nicely. Entropy quanta usage seems a bit high, though it shouldn't be a huge problem. Better than Pulverizer fighting with Otyughs for gravity quanta. I think another hourglass would be helpful to add speed, especially with time mark. Maybe another quint too.

I'm going to try it with the extra hourglass and quint.
