Statistics on 43 Rainbow God Deck - 80% win rate

[lestat1]

i have just about the same deck im nowhere near 70 %. i must have very dad luck with draws lol

[zakal]

Well, don't feel too bad.  Cards games are card games, thus random as hell.  I usually get at or near 70% vs. False Gods, but tonight I lost 6 games in a row vs. False Gods mostly due to hilariously bad draws.

Hi,
I'm using this deck since a few days, personally i took out 2 hourglasses for 2 PU, it seems to not suffer the difference (except against rainbow sometimes).
Just for information, maybe you want to try it :]
See ya and thanks for sharing ^_^

 I'm at 88 games with the 3druid/yard/oty deck, I haven't had the time to play recently and probably won't have, too. It got a good 86% average win rate. Seism is too easy with 3 druids and 3 yards, I never lost to him (7/0). FQ, Rainbow and Hermes are not easy because the druids are 1st target for the AI. I put in 2 PUs to help deal with them (in the place of 1 yard and 1 druid). The deck looks like the one with 2 FQs, only replace them with 2 PUs:



 I liked how having 3 of each key card (yard, oty and druid) made reliable early draws. Morte was also easier to beat with a full board of skelies and no flies to eat up the mana for bonds. With the PUs I hope to keep the high win rate vs Seism and Morte, but also make Rainbow, Hermes and FQ a bit easier. Dunno if I should go back to using 2 Queens, they make a good tank in every game but eat a lot of mana. PUs are situational, could be better or could be indifferent. Still making small changes to see if something else works better.

I tried a variant with 3 otys, 2 druids, 2 queens and 2 anubis. It seems to work very well once you get out the anubis and make your otys invincible! It just takes a while because of his 8 cost, but that's also why I use 2 of everything else. A druid-oty combo can take out so many threats like early light dragons and is the only way to deal with gemini's spamming of unstoppable gravity dragons.

Anubis is powerful if you can get him on the board. But that's a big IF. He's very costly at 8 quantum, not even considering the drain from the glasses. He will often get congealed or worse if you're pressed to play him. And there are issues with him immortalizing mutants with skills.
 You only really need an oty, a safely played druid and a yard to produce skelies. A pulvy to control the permanents. You can get strong mutants to tank the spells and dish out damage in the same time. PUs are working good so far.

I only use upgraded sundials for my card drawing, though I might occasionally steal an hourglass from rainbow. The only other use I have for time is my Eternity.

With 8 strength, Anubis can usually tough out anything the FG can throw at him, though a mutation is annoying.

I also only use his ability on mutants with good abilities such as growth, scavenger, steal or destroy. Other than that my otyughs, druids and queens are first in line for making invincible.

After speaking about dim shields i decided to see if i got better chances with or withot them in a 50 card deck, only started and my results were these:

fg -   w -   l -   win %
morte   5   0   100,0%
miracle   8   0   100,0%
graviton   4   1   80,0%
fire queen   6   1   85,7%
seism   5   2   71,4%
chaos lord   5   0   100,0%
incarnate   5   0   100,0%
gemini   8   0   100,0%
rainbow   1   2   33,3%
hermes   6   2   75,0%
scorpio   5   1   83,3%
total   58   10   86,6%

Average win/loss: 84,4%

Obviously i was at the beginning of my test, having played only 58 games, and some of the 100% win gods will make me face a loss sooner or later, as rainbow will became quite higher (probably about 60-70%). The fact is that i was going truly good against scorpio and morte, while bad against rainbow.
I repeat that these stats are exxagerated by the small number of plays, but are demostrative that with dim shields and a slower and bigger deck you're more though against most of FG, exept rainbow because it will make you pay a lot for slowliness. All those FG without heavy anti permanent will be ridicolously easy.

Question is: why did i stop grinding with this deck? Answer: was too slow
If you're searching for fast money a max 45 card deck is what you need, but probably a little lower in winning %.
SO, in the end, i ended up in nothing, but wantet to write it anyway

My deck was this one, mark of time, fully upgraded (sold some cards so i dont have them upgraded now)
Edit: ops! sundials were NOT upgraded, mistake!

Vice, I think you can drop your 2 Steals and put in 3 Yards and Druids again (or 2 FFQ).  With 2 Pulverizers you should be able to control his permanents pretty well.  Sure Steals help, but I think you can get by without them.  I usually play a 37 card deck with 1 Pulverizer and 0 Steals and I have a win rate of 80-85%.

PS: Nice deck.  I like the FFQ-less strategy.  Hopefully those TUs should help provide the lightning rod you need to protect your other creatures.

Yeah, the more I play, the more I find myself discarding queen and Eternity early if I have to discard. What this really tells me is Eternity and queen are completely unnecessary to win. There are even some matches where queen is downright awful (Seism). I personally keep Eternity in because I enjoy digging like crazy through my deck knowing I can afford to do so, which definitely is necessary in some games against Rainbow, Morte, and Scorpio, and occasionally Gemini and Miracle.

Anubis is another luxury card that you really don't need. If you run hourglass and Eternity, you really can't afford him anyway (if you run Entropy mark), and he is just an expensive 5/9 in every matchup that doesn't have a plethora of creature control. Against Seism, he is a blessing and a curse, as if you get him going, the match is practically already won, but if Seism has a rewind in hand, he will target Anubis every time, which is really counter-productive, as you probably can't cast him again for a while, and you lose a turn of card drawing, putting you in a big hole. I win almost every time against Seism now because I make the most out of Oty/Druid/Graveyard with bonds. Those cards are far more useful than Anubis and fly under the radar much more effectively.

Wait a sec, is this before or after a sundial nerf? The first deck in this thread i mean.

[Delreich]

Look at the time stamps, in particular on the quotes. Mid September was indeed before the sundial nerf...
