Malduk's PvP2 rainbow

[Malduk]

People think i'm stupid for bringing a rainbow. But i also have more control in my rainbow. Plus if you play all six supernovas or just survive several turns and have some supernovas you can usually have enough play it. plus miracle is a last turn card anyways. Just a suggestion. (it kinda makes up for the shield and the blessing, but costs more. But hey, just a different deck style.

I dont really like Miracle in this deck. You need healing only when you're up against some other rush deck that managed to drop their stuff before you. I have Black Hole and Liquid Shadow to regain some health if needed. I always have quanta to play those, and cards have offensive uses when healing is not needed.

Was testing a deck and tested it out against Malduk and another player using a golem/immolation/rush. Gotta say Malduk's deck seems to work pretty well and beat me handily while i beat the golem deck. That discord can really mess your hand up (if you're not playing rainbow) and has decent perm and creature control for a rush deck. I think i'll try it out for a while and see if i like this deck better for t50.

Glad you liked it

Btw, I make small adjustments from time to time if I'm using it for farming T50.

Code: [Select]

6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u5 713 74a 74f 77g 7ae 7ah 7dl 7dm 7ds 7gm 7ju 7mu 7q5 7t9 7te 80a 80a 80g
This version has Archangel to somewhat increase damage output to help with increasing trend of putting annoying rage-quit decks in T50. Its heal is also actually useful from time to time when against certain types of CC.

Also, has Fire Buckler and Minor Pheonix instead of Lava Destroyer. Buckler get easy wins against boring RoL/Hope decks, and Pheonix is cheap, expendable, and durable CC magnet.

I think you should take out the fire buckler; it's too expensive, and add another tower. I've found that 6 quantum towers and 6 supernovas is the optimal amount for a speed rainbow. You might also want to add another perm control card.

Fire buckler costs 4 and gives you auto-win against RoL/Hope deck. I bring it while farming T50 as I already said. As for perma control, I rarely need more, but swapping Pheonix with another Explosion is a perfectly fine.
As for number of pillars... Pillars are slow, slow is bad -> Pillars are bad. Supernovas are enough to fuel the deck.

[midg3333]

The optimum number of towers, based on extensive testing, is five.

um...

Anyway, quite like the deck. I've faced a deck like this one in t50 a few times, and that black hole and discord quite often are the deciding factor. cheap healing and quantum denial can be really effective when rush decks are involved, and in this decks case, it looks as though it doesn't slow the deck down in the process.

lol yeah I saw that too and was like "well then... hmm.."

Gotta say Malduk, this is a REALLY solid deck. I really like how you used all elements in perfect harmony (wow this sounds really cliche). This seems also like a really fun deck to play with as well.

nice job!

[abysswalker]

Electrum hourglass seems sort of expensive for this deck.

[tinkady]

looks good, pretty similar to terroking's deck which I use a variant of, i like his a bit better just from eyeballing yours but i could be wrong. heres my version:

Code: [Select]

6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6u1 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u5 713 713 745 77g 7ae 7ah 7dm 7dq 7gm 7ju 7mu 7n0 7q5 7t9 80a 80a 80gi'm super excited for 1.24 to come out because i'm gonna replace the fog shield and wyrm (which i dont really like at all, there just arent any other options right now in  besides EE, but i like discord better) with two wings. this will add up to 10 turns of stalling while barely slowing the deck down (dayummmm). also since my version has 3 spiders I'll almost always have an early spider to start webbing people with

[Malduk]

All Supernova speed rainbows are pretty similar and have similar results. As opponents decks are constantly changing, it is hard to measure a success. I myself make many rotation of cards in my deck while playing with it.

So it comes down to how you like to play your rainbow. For example, your deck has more creatures than mine. I will occasionally get a bad draw and start slow. My deck has more control + 2 forms of healing for EM. I will be able to beat larger variety of decks.

As for Wings... I dont think they are of a big use in such deck. 2 cards for shields, that cost 2x3 + whatever you spend on webbing stuff. Your spiders have 3,3,2 HP. They will die to first CC that comes around.
They are good against decks like Shrieker rush though, but with stupid AI burrowing everything, you should be outrushing those decks anyway.

[tinkady]

nah, the spiders stay alive till the endgame a good amount of the time...most creatures in my deck are pretty weak but there are a lot of them so it works out
and the quanta isnt an issue i'm pretty sure, because the general limit/goal for mine is 6 of any element, and this is 6 total plus web, but the last 3 (and not really even the first 3) won't be needed earlygame, and you'd be surprised how few creatures you actually have to web for wings to be effective

[xdude]

I don't know if the Wyrm is a good idea. Did you try an UG? It kill RoL/Hope, and it also deals a massive 20 damage.

[homoaddictus]

I totally agree with xdude. UG is a great finisher in any speed rainbow. Here is what i use for pvp2.

Code: [Select]

6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6u1 6u1 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 713 71a 745 74a 77g 77g 7ah 7dm 7dq 7gm 7jr 7n6 7q5 7t9 7t9 80b 80b
I prefer aggressive play when using a speed rainbow. More creatures means more aggression. It's got more creature cards plus 2 TUs. I know you can't deal with every situation, but with aggressive play it's the opponent who has to deal with you first. When playing top 50 i replace a TU/werewolf with another momentum.

[littlegriffi]

i love this sort of decks really fast high damage
