Well, typing 1140 and remembering it is such a bother. Can you explain why you chose that number?
I have a variety of stories as to why I chose eleven-forty, but I shall tell you my favorite:

"Why did I choose 1140 for my name Dragoon1140?  To annoy you."
FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuuu~~~~~~~~~------------

I tried to build a deck using Steam Machines instead of golems, and I failed. :(

Steam Machine is only good in a stall deck. Golems are usually superior for the first ~10 turns, cost less overall, but have very low initial health.

I knew confusion would set in at some point in the forums.  I assume you mean Dragoon the first?

While it is obvious that Dragoon1140 is just messing around, he is right that trying a new deck against the false gods will yield less than optimal results at first. User error is the cause of many losses against the false gods, so his statement, "Yea... you are just having a bad streak of games.  It will get better," is statistically accurate.

Personally, I find either that my FFQ is in the bottom of my deck, or I draw it early but I can't muster the quanta to draw it. Unlike RoL/Hope decks, which can get RoL's out on the first turn, FFQ lags too much. By the time I get FFQ + Hope set up (which takes at least 3 supernovas, which takes a couple of turns), I could have put a Permafrost Shield (using CCYB), which has immediate results. This is quite troublesome. Once the combo is set up with a bunch of fireflies, all is well (and fun to play too!), but it's very easy to die before then.

Thank you for clarifying J.

I seriously need to try this deck.  I haven't farmed fg's in a while.

I have to say this deck is awesome.  It is a lot of fun to play and gives you a chance to win against all gods.  I had a nice win against Gravitron with it but I am still getting used to playing correct strategy.  The biggest problem I tend to have is decking out against gods with miracles.

What about this variant?

Steam machine is unupped because of 1 quanta less cost.
There are 4 supernovas because you just need a starting rush.
Leaf Dragon is a good card here, because it produces the quanta you need for playing the bonds when you played your hope. (and you can activate your FFQs)

I never said the deck sucked. :P I just said it was less reliable. The FFQ usually takes too long to set up, because A) you draw it too late or B) it takes a long time to get 7 :air quanta. By that point, certain FG's would have kicked my ass - and if they haven't, the FFQ combo won't work until a few more turns, and the FG would still kick my ass. Still, it's a fun deck. I just find CCYB more reliable (Permafrost would stop lots of creatures right off the bat, instead of waiting for the combo AND waiting for fireflies). Just my two cents. Everyone's mileage will vary - during lucky matches, you can win real fine with this deck - during unlucky ones, which happen quite often, you lose real fine.

I'm obviously underestimating how much I need to adapt to this deck. Even though it's played basically the same as CCYB. Or am I missing something? Stall with Shards and Permafrost, use Hourglasses to speed up draws and as PC bait, smash stuff with Pulverizer, Antimatter big stuff, play everything with Quintessence unless the God has no CC or only TU or stuff like that.

Bonds are probably unnecessary by the time you can actually play them.
