Awful name for a deck I know, but can't think of anything better. If anyone has any ideas....

Name aside though. Made the deck a while back, and since I haven't posted a deck in a while, figured I could get a new one up.
Pretty standard control bow. You have your creatures for damage, and the nymph for extra draw speed. Can be switched for an hourglass if you lack the nymph.
Has the whole work for control, nightmare and eternity for draw control, basilisk blood, shockwave and lightning to take singular creatures out or stall them. it.Or if need be, lightning and shockwave can be used to score a final hit.  And then explosion and momentum to help with any shields that might pop up.

While the deck can work without the novas, not drawing them is a HUGE hindrance. Thinking about toying around with the idea more and maybe working in quantum towers somehow.

Haven't messed around a whole lot in pvp with it, but it does fairly well against ai4 assuming it draws novas. So I can imagine it would be fairly good in pvp as well.

-1 mirror shield -1 werewolf -1 rewind -1 unstoppable +3/4 QT's and +1/0 explosions. Also what about a 6th nova somewhere? Maybe get rid of the frog for it? Personally ultharid is better then purify, especially against AI4.

Doesn't need to drop creatures for quantum pillars, that would just flood the deck with quanta. 2 novas already powers everything in the deck that the pillars don't power.

Dropping a pillar for a nova is an idea. I may have messed around with it before, but honestly don't remember, so lets say I didn't. Guess I'll try -1 pillar and +1 nova sometime.

Ok, what about ultharid vs purify? Also the card "Shield/Tower Shield" over mirror. Or even improved fog.

[omegareaper7]

Ulthirid is harder to do.  I would only get 4 uses with the current version, and I would need to draw 3 novas. If I swapped some stuff out for quantum towers, it would be much more appealing.

tower shield on the other hand is something I had not considered. Mirror shields benefit isn't that large after all, was more there for cheap damage reduction and to help with any spells that might target.

You can use mindflayer over ulitharid if getting more novas is an issue. I agree it would be an improvement over purify if used against AI4.

Here's a more drastic modification idea:

Exchange Novas for Supernovas, and replace 2 Time Pendulums and 3 Time Towers with Entropy Pendulums. You'd be able to use multi-target CC like Pandemonium. Maybe replace Basilisk Blood with a Vanadium/Iridium Warden for pseudo-CC?

As for the name, how about Nostalgia? You do have Ghosts of the Past.

@valiance: Had not occurred to me. May give it a shot. purify is handier for pvp 2 though I would suspect, what with all the shard of sacrifice and poison decks. But regardless.

@ Terran 3: I think the idea is something, though I don't know if I will work it exactly like that, will try to fit supers in though. It sounds like a neat idea.

In case you put in a Mind Flyer, consider changing rewind for SoR. Could also helps with the Nymph.

I was wondering, in PvP 2, wouldn't it be faster to use unupped ghosts? Or is quanta production high enough to power the upped ones fast, too?

[CrockettRocket]

Well, I spent 6 hours in finding what nova:supernova ratio was best for when your not using QTs entropy pends or entropy towers. Solely based on mark. You can keep the quanta balence the same, and just do 2 novas 4 supernovas entropy mark. (The testing was just what felt right to me. Nothing official, and I didnt know what mulligan was at the time. But because I did it all myself and just played games and games and games, with various different decks, I really feel 2 novas 4 SN is the optimum ratio.Also only did the testing assuming there would be 6 novas.)

Also with rush decks against ai4 I find baslisk blood a life saver compared to warden. "stalling a creature for 6 turns in a rush deck is essentially killing it."-Omegareaper7 on Kongregate.
