I just built this deck and it seems to be destroying Top50 for me.  Of course, the best cards I've gotten have been from obvious farm decks, but I'm winning the other too.

Advantages: High damage very fast.  Once I 2nd turned a flying/blessing/Titan/Quint, that's 10 unstoppable damage each turn...
Weaknesses: Can deck out if I don't kill them fast enough, dim shield and sundial reduce damage, but most of the time Titan or Morning Glory is there to deal out some beats past either shields or sundials...  Black Hole can hurt a lot... The deck sometimes has to discard, but I just discard precogs.

This deck is pretty much untested.  I just threw it together with stuff that I had laying around.  It blasted through ten or so top 50 without a single loss, and I decided to post it up here.  I'm sure I'm not the first to do supernova dragon rainbow, so I'm not claiming to have created the perfect t50 deck or anything.

Peace,
Jallen

These sort of decks are usually effective, if you can get quanta quick enough. Otherwise, they're a bit rubbish. Nice work though, I've tried it in the trainer and it seems reasonably effective.

This deck is incomprehensibly bad.  Please don't anyone make the mistake of wasting your electrum putting it together.

Every game against a rush deck consists of playing one land and doing nothing except occasionally casting supernova - whose only effect is generally to enable a quint that has no targets.  I've had games where I cast three super nova and literally do nothing else until I die.  Four lands in the entire deck can't provide the other 4 mana of the same color for a dragon.  (On average, one tower makes 3/12th of a specific quanta per turn.  So one land will take about 12 turns to give you the 4 black quanta you need for the black dragon, to go with the 3 supernova that make the other 6.)

Against slow decks, fat creatures seem like a nice way of avoiding the Quint/Oty epidemic, right up until your opponent casts Rain of Fire and proceeds to eat as many dragons as he likes.  You do not have the option of laying out one dragon at a time, with or without quint backup, because then your damage can't outpace SoGs or chew through Bone Walls.

You could try replacing all the cheap spells (that actually do nothing unless you already have stuff in play - lol, as if) with pillars, so that you might actually be able to cast things.  But after a few dozen games of that configuration, it doesn't seem any better.

Occasionally, it goes turn 3 supernova/supernova/oty/quint and just wins, because that combo is ba-roken and imbalanced, but you could play that offensively ridiculous combo in any of a number of other, superior, decks.

are you playing against top 50?  Because it's not supposed to go against anything else.  I made it back when the top 50 was composed of mainly scaredgirl or puppychow type decks that take a little time to get going.  The dynamic of top 50 changes regularly, so I can't vouch for this decks effectiveness anymore.

ummmm.....unless u dont know,thats why we have a trainer...to test out untested dcks.If anyone is dumb enough to make a deck without first trying it out in the trainer,then....tough luck and btw nice little review on this deck  :D
