yes i know, rainbow and speed doesnt realy sound very compatible, but in this deck, its like fate decided it.
Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 52o 55r 590 590 5c1 5c1 5fa 5fa 5ib 5ic 5lf 5om 5un 5un 621 621 8po

the basics to running this deck is to do a lot of damage very fast with the growth units. i decided to put in a few control cards just to make wins against the t50 easier. such as stall decks. i currently dont have pulvy, but if you want, you can take an oty out to add a pulvy.

Oh, Mark of Water, that will leave them guessing first turn. This looks like it will help a ton of people, easy to obtain and probably great considering who made it.

Time for me to be completely off topic and tell everyone a variation.
Running the same except I dropped the poison, arctic squid, trident, blessing, unstable gas, quints and parasites. Switched in 1 more elite oty, 1 miracle, 1 elite FFQ, 1 Fallen Druid, a TU, a steal and a pulvy. Oh and upped everything. And changed the mark to entropy
Oh the poison seems nice, but if you didn't like lack of creature control, plague only costs like 2 or 3 death quanta. Parasite seem useful though. Might try that out with some blood suckers.

On the contrary; the Speed Rainbow is one of the fastest decks out there.

Looks like a good deck. Control + Speed = great victory.

This was my speed rainbow deck that I used in the beginning. I just took a few cheap, good cards from each element and added 6 novas and a few quantum pillars. It's pretty similar to yours too.

Nice unupped deck. Needs more perm control, and unupped otys are almost useless

It's a speed deck, it doesn't really need permanent control.

1) Not really.
2) Note the "Blessing" card in the deck.

One BIG problem with this deck. Huge ongoing demand for earth quanta by lava golems, trident, and the two graboids. I played ~10 games with this deck (only difference was I used an upgraded otyugh), and in every game I ran into a shortage of earth mana. This is most prominent when you have a lava golem in play, a graboid in your hand, and a trident out, and only, for example, 3 earth quanta. Do you evolve the golem, play the graboid, or kill some of the enemy's pillars? Often it takes several turns to generate another 3 earth quanta. Since you're not garunteed earth mana every turn, or even in any number of turns (I went an entire game with almost no earth mana nearly all the time, it was the strangest thing to see all my other elements with 20-30 quanta and earth with less than 5 after I only used it to grow a lava golem once and use trident's ability.) Granted, this IS a rainbow deck, and is based on luck, but having two cards that use earth for their ability, especially when one requires 3 quanta, and then tacking on two cards that require 3 earth a piece to come into play is way over-taxing it.

otherwise, worked pretty well. Quit 3 top 50 matches against opponents that got out 5 shards and started playing shields, won the other 7, 2 with elemental mastery (both times opponent played an otyugh which I either froze or poisoned, or both.

Besides the problem with uneven quanta distribution, nice deck, great idea, I'll tweak it some and try it out later. peace.

I'm a speed rainbow deck fanatic, and honestly, growth creatures aren't the best. Really. A growth creature here or there is fine, but they're extremely expensive, especially when you start having multiple copies of them. The arctic squid there, is also fail. Seriously, 3 quantum for an effect is WAY too much. Throw lightnings or shockwaves in there instead. I also don't think that bless there helps much.
