I have modified the deck I posted earlier (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,19082.msg259702#msg259702)  by:

• upgrading all the pillars
• adding a Butterfly effect and 2 feral bonds
• removing a bone wall, a shard of gratitude as well as a steal
• adding a steam machine and a shard of readiness
• Adding Hope to be used along the non-upgraded fireflies from NU Queen. This increased dramatically the EM quota, rather than using upgarded firefly via up. Queen.
• adding a protect artefact for the pillars or one hour glass.

Strategy: Use one quintesecence on the Otyugh and the second one on Anubis. Produce skeletons with the Graveyard. The fallen Druid is to mutate the skeletons. The firequeen is used to produce fireflies with light for the Miracle and to boost protection with Hope. Butterfly effect can be used on the second Otyugh or a skelett. Anubis is used to immortalise your creatures, especially fireflies when Hope is used in the shield box. Use hourglasses to speed up your game and Eternity (to protect with a protect artefact) is used to avoid deck out by e.g. rewinding a skeleton, Fire fly. The new change tranforms the skeleton in a creature and does not rewind it.


 I used the deck in AI5 and recorded the stats from 50 games.

Results: 41/50 (82%) Wins  from which 19 were EM (46%). I am pretty sure the win rate and EM can be improved with a bit more experience playing the deck.
Turn average: 20,1 (min: 13 max: 32),
Time average: 433 sec (min: 244  max: 843)

Great deck, I've been trying it out for a bit.

- I had an upgraded firefly queen from before and used it without thinking, so for anyone else make sure you read carefully and do NOT use an upgraded one as it doesn't work with the hope shield. My mistake, but others could make it.

- I found that enemy weapons (like eagle's eye/sniper or eternity/reverse time) hindered my progress a lot, and the only solution was to butterfly effect one of my creatures... but it would get sniped right away if I did. So, I added a steal in to help with enemy weapons.

- An alternative to the miracle is an improved heal, for those without one.

Awesome overall and tons of fun with the diversity of creatures!

The combination unupped firefly/hope is a nice idea. Did you ever consider to use one more copy of each to make the combo more efficient?
For AI5, it looks like you have a lot of healing: 5 SoG + 2 Bonds + A miracle. What about using SoD instead of SoG? With more copies of the queen you would be able to power more miracles (that would heal you more using SoD). This way, for each win you would get more money ... (maybe keep the bonds for more EM).

Have fun ...

looks like skittles (no, not the candy, the deck...)

That's also what I though at first but "Skittles" taste the rainbow! by Kuross in the FG archive looks like that:
