Rainbow Control PVP1 - Hourglass I just love you

[AchDeToni]

Hey,

wanted to share my fairly successful PVP1 Deck with you and am asking for suggestions to improve it:

It's a very versatile Deck with responses to nearly any kind of Deck, still it's relatively fast and challenging to play.
Like the title says it's a control Deck, that's why it's core is build by hourglasses. try to outdraw the enemy, so you always have more cards than him. That way it's able to control the field and win easily. Quantum usage is distributed to all elements, so no quantum is unused .
Once an hourglass is out and you're opp hasn't got a rush on his hand neither an hourglass himself it's pretty game.
You draw twice as much as him, +heal a lot due to sanctuaries and stiletto, grow creatures and  disrupt his strategies.
Because of novas you aren't even that dependent on quantum luck from pillars:
everytime you lack 1 quantum to play a card you just use a nova or two, that's another reason you can come into play fast, even if pillars aren't liking you in that match at all.

Most cards explain themselves, so I think I don't have to explain them. Current Rating is 2100+ (still skyrocketing) and several wins against 7000+ opps weren't that hard
Win Rate PVP: 85-90%
Win Rate half-bloods: ~60% (estimated, played only 3 times so far)

Some Suggestions? I'm not that satisfied with the skull shield, so which death card would you pick for it ? Played with arsenic earlier, but 2 shields are minimum IMO due to rush decks. Overall only fast Rushes/ Decks with Hourglass stand a chance if you're not drawing really bad. Some ideas against that decks would be good.

I lost to this just before I went on the forums.... curses.... =(

edit: wait no it was 50 cards and had 16 pillars according to my opponent. Not 12. Other than that exactly the same deck(I saw novas and the cards in this deck were the only ones played in the one I faced).

edit2: possibly put in a reflective shield just to counter any stall-> OTSpell kill decks?

Imo 16 Pillars are too much (when it really was same deck), the amount of pillars is kinda good, so far didnt lose any game due to shortness of pillars, nor do i draw too many of them.

I never encountered an stall->OTSpell deck so far in PVP1, but you should use PC to counter it. An early Fire shield can be devastating if you're lacking the PC indeed. And it needs very careful decisions (which and when creatures put to play etc.) to win this matchup, so yeah it's hard I can imagine.
Nevertheless, reflective shields are too situational (reflective shield) or too expensive (emerald shield). But if the rate of stall->OTSPell decks increases OR you're so lucky to encounter them often switching a forest sprite with an emerald shield could work for you. That's the nice thing about this deck - you can nearly always fit it to current metagame.

No that is the nice thing about most quantum pillar decks
