The Condor 5 removes many of the previous weaknesses of The Condor 4 and increases the overall effectiveness of the deck. Some False Gods that are easy with the previous version are slightly harder, however the more difficult gods can now be defeated more often. This deck is more versatile, but plays similar to a standard mutation swarm bow. Often you will find yourself fractaling a Malignant Cell or Alphatoxining your own creatures in order to get fuel for mutants. Sometimes it is smart to quint a cell or hold extras in your hand after a fractal. The basic concept of filling your opponent's field with cells followed by a condor/fractal/firestorm is still the primary win condition, however many games will be won with mutants.

Primary Combo cards: Condor, Fractal, Alphatoxin x2, Firestorm
Secondary Combo cards: Boneyard, Unstable Gas
Creature Control: Elite Otyugh x2, Eagle's Eye, Improved Antimatter
Permanent Control: Butterfly Effect
Defense: Bonewall, Jade Shield, Permafrost Shield, Miracle x2, Protect Artifact
Quanta: Supernova x6, Quantum Tower x10
Acceleration: Electrum Hourglass x3
Wild Card: Improved Antimatter
Since Feral Bond activates after attack now, this deck no longer gets EM as often. Since Feral Bond was not integral to the deck design, it has been removed and I am testing other cards to see what might improve the deck. This 'wild card' can greatly change the play of the deck depending upon what you decide to use. I appreciate advice on what card would best increase the win percentage.
Currently, I am using a 2nd Antimatter as the wild card.

http://meowsquish.webs.com/junk/TheCondorSeism.GIF Play Strategy:
Step 1: Stay Alive
Do this by dropping an Oty with Quint and eating creatures. Use the eagle's eye to drop big creatures into his range.
Hide behind your shields. Miracle is your primary healing, but a boneyard and feral bond are available for a little extra, and antimatter can nullify a creature and give you more healing. Save it for something big if you can. If permanents are a problem, butterfly effect an oty and quint it.
Step 2: Fill up your opponents screen with Malignant cells.
You can use Alphatoxin early, but make sure that you'll have a shield out soon enough, or the cells will eat you. Let the cells fill up while you take out other creatures with your oty and eagle's eye.
Step 3: Prepare to Win
When you have about 10 cards left in your deck, you'll need to stop using the hourglasses. You want to give yourself time to save up 24 death quantum. It's a good idea to choose not to play some cards late game(such as the second alphatoxin and bonewall) if you don't need them, instead, let your hand fill up and discard them, so that when you empty your hand, you still have at least 24 death quanta.
Step 3.5: Don't forget to miracle right before you win so that your bond will heal you for 1 and get the EM for extra cash! (Update: This doesn't work, the Condor doesn't get EM in the newest version of Elements unless you work the math to do exactly enough damage so that your weapon kills your opponent.)
Step 4: Deal 350 damage in 1 turn.
Okay, right now your enemy has 23 malignant cells on his board. You have 2 quint/otys and the eagle's eye and at least 3 skeletons in play. 1 skeleton has butterfly effect.
You have 24 Death quanta.
The only cards in your hand are Firestorm, Fractal, and Condor
Drop the Condor and Fractal it, then drop all 7 so that you have 8 condors in play. Use the B/E skeleton to kill any shield the enemy might have.
Use the 2 otys and the eagles eye to kill your own 3 skeletons. The condors are 4/5 now.
Firestorm. The condors are 27/28 and your field is full of 13 skeletons, 8 condors, and 2 Oty's.
Activate the Unstable Gas, killing your own 13 skeletons and dealing 20 damage to your enemy. The condors are now 40/40.
8 Condors deal 40 damage each, for a total of 320 damage. Added to the 20 from the gas is 340.
Your Eagle's Eye deals 7 damage, and each Oty will do at least 1, since they both ate a creature this turn.
That is 349 damage. Assuming that the Oty's have eaten at least 1 other creature at any point in the game, you just did 350+ damage in 1 turn.
Enjoy!
Against Decks with Bonewall: Use 1 Alphatoxin on your own creature and attack with cell-swarm, or fractal early to eat the walls, or bust through them with skeletons.
Against Rainbow: You probably won't be able to get the combo out before you die, instead, hide behind the bonewall and 2 quinted oty's as soon as possible. If you can get the condor out with a firestorm that will kill any decent amount of creatures, do so. Use Fractal on his Forest Spirits and pump them. If you are lucky, and I mean really lucky, then you can kill him. I've gotten close several times. Edit: I got very lucky with an early Quit/Oty and Quint/BE/Oty. The standard strategy worked fine after that. See screenshot above.
Against Divine Glory: This is really hard. You have to get 2 Otys out, drop the condor and alphatoxin the condor. If you can fractal the condor or an oty(even with an almost full hand, do so) The goal is to hide behind your bonewall eating your own malignent cells to keep it alive while the oty's and cells kill him. It's hard, but possible.
Against Eternal Phoenix: DO NOT alphatoxin phoenix, save it for a dragon, because on the phoenix it won't make a cell. Save antimatter for a dragon.
Against FireQueen: Feel free to use Fire Storm early if you need it to survive. Fractal a fire queen. Butterfly effect the condor, use it to destroy the bonds. Kill with fireflies.
Against Octane: Hide behind the Jade Shield, Antimatter 1 eagle eye, alphatoxin/eat the others. Standard Condor beats. (Alternate: Butterfly effect/quint/oty early to kill gas)
Against Decay: Play quint/oty and quint/condor early. Eat his pests and watch the condor destroy him while you hide behind your Jade Shield.
Against Hermes/Obliterator/Graviton: Play a quint/oty and eagle's eye/protect artifact and a bonewall in the first 2 or 3 turns and you might win. If you don't get the eye, protect artifact the feral bond and alphatoxin your own creature.

This deck beat Decay!http://meowsquish.webs.com/junk/TheCondorNonUpgradedDecay.GIF
I have been working on this deck for the past few days. I believe that 4.0 is the most effective that I have made so far, and I will start tracking stats for it.
This is the rainbow version of my VultureFlood deck idea.
