That's right, I did it. I finally managed to get Light play one of the most important parts of the deck in a rainbow. A PSNbow, to be more exact.

I've been long tinkering with this idea, and I've finally decided to make (and post) this deck. It combines the fast attack of Rainbows with the durability of Light decks. It fares great in T50, as it is fast enough to outrush most stalls and resilient enough to withstand rushes.

The unkillable "creature" is supposed to be the player :)

Have you ever thought of replacing 1 of the three werewolfs with say a fog shield or a Sapphire charger? The 3 werewolfs and discord seem to strain your entropy even with pends.

I know it looks like it wouldn't work to well, but believe me, it does. The Charger would fail due to the fact that its hard to get 5 Gravity quanta, and the Fog... well, I have Ultimate SurvivalTM already. The WW's don't really interfere with SN's too often either, because you generally need just 1 SN to launch this deck.

What the reasoning behind Deadly Poison instead of Flesh Recluse?

Deadly Poison only costs 2, so it can be set off with only 1 SNova. Also, in case your rush get stopped using a shield or something, the poison can take the enemy down for the win.

Yeah, about that, I actually took out a WW and replaced it with another MP now. 3 of them were indeed kind of too many.

Could you maybe replace a miracle with a peggy to use up unused  :air?

I think I have to agree with this.  By the time you actually need to use Miracle you've gotten a fair amount of time to draw it from your deck, no?  2 would be pretty decent in this case.  If not the Flying Horse I would throw in Improved Fog or UG for added survivability outside of healing.  The deck looks great though; I never thought I would see an efficient PSNbow with Miracle as one of it's most important cards, but I've been proven wrong :)

Yes, I've been thinking about this too. Sometimes, I have 2 Miracles in hand, clogging my hand. Sometimes else, however, I draw one just in the last turn, and it gets me the win. Bleh, what the hell, I'll try doing this, especially considering more often than not I draw too many Miracles and I have 3 Precogs.

Also, thanks for the compliments willng3 ;).

Try adding a Quinstinence

Try adding a Quinstinence
Why would I? o.O

Also, the deck has been updated. -1 Miracle, -1 Discord, +1 Pegasus, +1 Morning Glory.
The 3rd Miracle was pretty redundant and the Discord was staying in my hand unused for far too much.

The title is Ultimate Survival. And quinstinence would give that to the creature 0.o

Well i have to say that this is a great deck and i'm playing it partially upped in pvp2 and it is dominating.

Thanks xdude! You're awesome.

Thanks. I have to say I didn't expect it to be good in PvP2 for the sole reason that around half of the decks there are Timebows, which might have the edge over this. Oh well, seems I was wrong, glad you liked it :)

As TNG said it wouldn't work without the Pends and Snovas upped. Also, Miracles, Pheonixes and some other cards in there are way better upped.

Though it did work partially upped for me.. just the SNovas and the Pendulums worked for me..

I've been trying to make this deck for a while, but i found that mostly you either don't need it or it clogs up your hand. Great job making it work though  :D

Yeah, Vampire Dagger would help greatly here... EM potential!

Will try something like this. :) see how it works.

-2 frogs, +2 heals (EM power!)
-3 MPs, +1 spectre (maybe? or would this not work...?)
-1 MG, +1 peggy, +2 vamp dagger (moar EM powah!)

or would this become way too slow?

You need the Frogs, and you already have enough healing. And I've already done the MG/Stilleto switch. as suggested by splash.

How about:
- 1 frog
- 1 chaos power
- 1 recluse
+ 3 holy light (not flash)
for... EM POWAH

Love the deck and the idea behind it, but bit worried about the new version, because too many cards require 2 snovas now. Graboids are worth the risk since they are just that good, but recluses and crawler.. I actually really liked precogs here since they helped with getting another snova or miracle in hand, and of course, a lone werewolf is always a good choice in psnbow if you run low on number of creatures.
