Small (almost) unupgraded deck with Purple Nymph. ~Specter102

[specter102]

I wanted to follow Scaredgirl's unupgraded, but initially didn't have the money to get all the upgrades that required.  Here's what I'm playing with right now, and I just want to say that it's awesome.  I give it ~50% for FG farming; though I don't have the statistics up.  I got lucky and bagged a purple nymph from the oracle early on.  Quint typically falls on the Otyugh.  In some games I need the purple nymph out for big monsters if I'm losing badly.  Deck works well, I recommend it if you have a purple nymph.

For anyone noobs (like me) that can only upgrade one card and are thinking about which one, upgrade the Otyugh first.  As you can tell in this deck, I also have an upped firefly queen. electrum hourglass, and eternity.  The FQ is strictly luxury (Upped to make some games faster); the electrum hourglass is nice to have upped, though I did just as well before too (it is nice though, thanks SG); and the eternity was just a noob mistake early on  .

Strategy: The strategy for killing is really easy.  Pull your hand and save your cards.  Get as many quantum out as you can and don't play your creature cards without a quintessence.  Considering that you don't have that many creatures, each one is really important.  Don't be too hasty with your sundials.  I recommend reading the thread and looking up strategy for scaredgirl's deck here http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=1615.0 (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=1615.0).  They are quite similiar (considering I was going for that deck and just ended up here).  Anyway, try it out, see if you get out some good hands.

Also, don't be so quick to put out the purple nymph if you can.  She's a good DEF. card, but unless you're trying to deck the other person out, she can not win you a game.  Oty + Firefly Queen w/ 2 Emphatic can go a long way.  Situations where Purp Nymph is good would be like: they have 5 BIG creatures out and 7 small ones.  If you managed to get a bunch of quantum towers up, you may have just enough to use the Nymph, Quint her and Sundial.  The next round, drop another sundial and anti-matter one of the big boys.  Keep this up until you don't have entropy or you run out of sundial.  Antimatter works GREAT with dimensional shield because the heal is not blocked.  I have come back from multiple 1 HP games to win because of this. 

Anyway, good luck and try out this deck if you have the means, it's a slow deck at times, but it's a high %!

1. Please change the thread title and take my name out of it.

2. By taking that Purple Nymph you kind of ninja'd one of my new rainbow deck ideas Yep, Purple Nymph is great.

does this work with 2-3 antimatters instead of a purple nymph??

I would add a fallen druid (or elf if you don't have the money to upgrade) just because you have that boneyard. Fallen elf could also work offensively, and I find that it's always very useful to have.

He's already high on entropy quanta with that Nymph.

Sorry about that!  I just wanted to give respect to the originator of the idea, considering my deck is a small variation of yours.  Thanks for the good build, I'm farming FG nows
