My 5-way death timebow (Death star)

[Daytripper]

This is my 5-way death bow. (I guess that no longer makes it the crossbow death or death at the crossroad, but rather a death star or a devilishly death, or even a penta death.) I don't know if it is original, but I thought it was way funny actually. I got most of it off a regular speedbow, but with a twist. I do this:

STALL like mad with 6 sundials. Get the phase shields through if possible. Finally, place the bonewall, eat with oty, cast inundation, cast fire storm, cast plague, cast unstable gas. You don't even need all 5. If you can pull that off, opponent is dead in the water really. The air nymph can even kill your own skeletons to fuel the wall. You can save a few and improve them with druid. 40 cards seem a lot, but the stallers work like a charm really. Also Osiris is no problem for this setup. You simply wear the scarabs down and eat. I have also used heavy armour and improved steal a few times, but that is personal preference really. It works well against some gods, not so well against others. If you really want the P.A. you can add it, but I think it is usually a wasted card. The harder Gods will usually kill you anyway, and 1 card has little impact. Here you have a good chance to blow away all of the easy Gods and some of the harder ones.

I have changed it now, so you cannot possibly fail to kill something. It is better to kill the swarm Gods right, then to try and do everything. You can see my deck is not so slow. It brought death upon Scorpio just in time...then I drew like mad to get the feral bond to survive the poison. You don't even need eternity always, but it's a nice fall back if you run out of cards. Also the nymph can do the death Gods in alone, so you don't even need to penetrate their bone wall. You can grow it in fact

Why the single supernova? Maybe 2-3 would make more sense if it's that helpful, otherwise another tower would probably be more useful.

agreed, not to mention, that pic isn't really showing off your deck...

I make no comment on this.

Yeah I ran out of room, this is how it ended up. I guess it doesn't matter now. The sundials need a lot of light, it's nice to get the supernova in the hand. The problem was that paradox/ferox/miracle/osiris could easily cream this deck by spamming the bone wall. One firestorm doesn't fix that, but an inundation will. I also had to add a pulverizer, or some Gods will finish you really. If you dropped the pulverizer, a quint, and an inundation, you could add a steal and 2 heavy armours. That would be a more viable way to fight Obliterator. You can also drop the druid instead, the unstable gas does enough damage then. The reason I wouldn't make the nymph the only damage dealer is the possible enemy reflection shields of course. If you really have to, you can also make the druid transform the opponent so the oty can eat it easier, but it is dangerous. A parasite or a toadfish might be a fun alternative for the druid there.

I stepped away from a  quinted FFQ or lava destroyer as a damage dealer, because they don't do any damage to the enemy creatures. If the oty can't eat anything, it's a drama really.

Reply:

I wonder why not? In that game the bonewall obtained some 75 charges, the pic shows quite a bit already. The AI can do nothing with so many bone wall charges and creatures that keep dying.

There, you prefer the ending maybe



And Ferox completely tanked + EM



If you didnt get it, after the inundation I sometimes wreck my own inundation card with the pulverizer to get more skeletons.

Please look again. 50+ counters on bonewall...... with flooding..... can... not be..... broken..... through.....

Nice deck. Inundation + bone wall is a very creative idea, although I agree with the general consensus that single supernova should be replaced with another tower.

Another thing I'm a bit iffy about is number of those upped sundials. How often do you start with no tower but 1-2 sundials?

[RavingRabbid]

Combining Oty, Boneyard, Bonewall and Unstable Gas to make flooding useful? Nice try, but requires to get into work in a short amount of time, because flooding'll delepte all your .

[Daytripper]

I don't see a huge difference in replacing the supernova, but you can assume there are 13 towers instead.

The deck works well enough. There is a small risk you draw a sundial while you don't have any light, but that is not an issue. It stops 6 attacks while you are building up! And some Gods are faster than others. I usually do this:

I wait about 3 turns if possible. I blow away 3 sundials and draw, possibly double draws with an hourglass. Then I play at least one phase shield. When the phase shield expires, I play a bone wall, usually with a sundial so it cannot be harmed. Then of course I should have a quinted unit or a boneyard out, but even if not, it is no drama. The bonewall alone can save me.

When the sundial expires, I start eating/exploding with my oty/nymph and I cast inundation/fire storm or both. This is hell on Miracle/Ferox/Osiris/Paradox/Gemini/Neptune type of Gods. (death Gods are also nice) These Gods are almost in the pocket unless if you have a wicked bad draw. This is because, in theory you are shielded for 12 turns not counting the bonewall. It is incredibly flexible. Once the bone wall loads and once an oty is there to get the remains, enemy is dead in the water. Just give it a go, it is fun. And of course you can use 5 sundials.. I see no reason though.

That is it. i liked it very much and I even somewhat preferred it to some of the smaller (35) rainbow decks with SoG's. They're quite vulnerable to bad draws actually.   

[Falcon4415]

The point with the sundials here is that as they are free they mess up with the auto mulligan system, which makes the deck more prone to drawing sundials instead of towers. Most people use them unupped because of that.

And you use inundation in an FG-bow! *Stands in awe*

[Daytripper]

You can use them unupped if you like, I wasn't aware of the mulligan system. I like them early in fact.

Yes, the quinted nymph and the inundation are the only things that can save you against Osiris. The fire storm is usually too weak actually. It turns dire straits into a lock. You really need to be sharp, it isn't for the ones who play it safe.



And yes, I had to show you how it can tank Hermes, and yes I know it was a lucky draw. The nymph and the oty took out a full row of attackers, no spells needed. Since you have the 4 CC's, you will draw something.
