Minimal CC Anti-FG Chargebow!

The only purpose to take a queen is to be able to use fractal on destroyers. Can i change the queen for jade shield ?

Queen is for damage at this point. An Air Nymph is a perfect replacement for the Queen. (if you do have the Nymph, you could even take out a Destroyer for a Jade Shield if you want)

@Boingo: SoR's would help so much there.

And then it'll turn into nymphomania again. xD
2 nymphs is a bit much to me... Since nymphs are so expensive. D:

Air Nymph seems close enough to da Queen anyways.

And hey, didn't you suggest a black nymph?

[Fallower]

I meant 2 black nymphs and 2 purple nymphs. o.o

I doubled them so you increase the chances of drawing them early.  It's nice to have extra hitters to take down bone walls too.

Right now I'm using one of each nymph:  and I've been quite happy.

But I'm afraid that too many nymphs will clog up your hand... since the ability costs are so expensive, usually you won't be able to play one before you finish drawing half your deck. o.o

But if it works thats fine I guess. xD

I can't totally disagree with you here.  There are matches when I won't play a given nymph, there are times when a certain nymph makes all the difference.  I think feel they add some flexibility to the deck since the FGs have different strengths and weaknesses.

I like the lobo ability of  nymph on Osiris for example, plus the combo are great for heavy hitting dragons and against bonewalls.

I usually autoquit on Decay with this deck, but sometimes I play the first 2 rounds to see if there's a good card combo (i.e., I have good opening hand and he doesn't drop massive tower/pest loads on turn 2.)  I managed to get these cards out with only 1 QT for the first 9 rounds just by hitting the SNs in time.  Nearly EM too!

Yeah, one quinted Destroyer and a Permafrost is enough to push Decay over.

Also, I've been thinking about removing the Purple Nymph. Early game, it's just a clogger. Late game, it sees some use, but not as much as I'd like. Comments?

I'd vote to keep it--you cannot get enough antimatter.  And what would you replace it with?  Another antimatter?  2 more?  3 more?   At a certain point, you will be clogging your hand with unusable antimatters.  If you opt for just 2 antimatters in the deck, then you have to hope you can get away with just the healing from 2 creatures on the other side.  Plus, she really helped me here:

Antimatter is supposed to be a blitz healing mechanism so that you survive more, and you can outrush your opponent. Granted, this deck is supposed to be slower than CCYB.

Also, nice Decay win. ^__^

I don't have the air nymph but i am pretty sure that she looks better than she is because there are many gods with mirror/jade shield. Nymphs consume SO much quanta and are almost unusable with entropy rainbow. I have the purple nymph and i do better by just changing her for an antimatter.

Those with mirror/jade shield are usually pushovers, with the except of Miracle (although he only has 2 Jade Shields, so if you're lucky, you can still UG him).

Also, the Purple Nymph was the point of this deck. I felt I needed another Quintessence for the Nymph, so I exchanged Fractal for a Quintessence. Then I put in a Liquid Shadow in conjunction with the nymph, heals to boost EM's...eventually, my deck became different from CCYB. But it's the Nymph that started it.
