Oracle : Rainbow

[Lecusto]

A voodoo doll deck (like the one of Shak'ars (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,14435.0.html)) seems to be a good choice since it rely on no permanents and protect the player.

i got completely owned using the second deck (fire/aether/earth), and yes i used the gravity shield, but then rainbow uses deflag on it, and my fire pillar, so i lose.note: i used a modified version of the deck replacing deflageration with explosion, and replacing every single earth pillar with a earth tower. where did i do wrong?

try using the enchant artifacts?
on like everything?

oh my gosh there were enchant artifacts? wow, sorry for the previous post then, i guess i just had a super terrible first draw, and the draws after that.

[funplay]

Just read through all Rainbow Strategy as im going to face him next...it seems to me that certain FGs like rainbow are always hard to beat, even with upped decks...this brought me to an idea: right now the oracle section only has unupped decks, that might work, which is a very good idea...but wouldnt it be good to have upped versions, too?

Especially for those hard to beat ones...?

Edit:
Tried LS/AM deck...and failed. I probably need some more training with that deck^^

But as I had pretty decent draws, i want to share what happend:
I drew 4x AM and 3x LS with enoug quanta to play them till defeat.

He played 2nd turn EE, early spectre and early graboid. Played 1st combo on shrieker to soften early game damage.

Waited for spectre to hit 10 att, played 2nd combo on him.

Meanwhile, i used extra AM on werewolf. Ignored the 2nd werewolf and 2nd shrieker, as 3 more spectres appeared.

Tried to wait for 2nd spectre to hit another 10 att, but miscalculated his damage potential and died when spectre was at 8 att (the other 2 at 6)

Surviving the early attacks is really tricky^^  i am not sure if even with my third LS/AM combo it would have been enough healing to actually survive if i played it in time...but if i had saved that early shrieker combo i would have died earlier...what did i do wrong?

Going against Rainbow without any Quints, PA, or a card that can't be destroyed such as Morningstar,etc, is like going against Dark Matter with an fully unupgraded Rainbow deck.

Not if you use Shak'ars.

Or RoL/Hope...

I made a 6 upped card version of RoL Hope some time ago, and it has a pretty decent win rate against it (even better if fully upped).

Use CCYB. Smash his Hourglasses, and Fractal HIS Lycanthropes

Use CCYB. Smash his Hourglasses, and Fractal HIS Lycanthropes

I have both CCYB and RoL Hope, and every variation I used was lame against him, since you have to survive until you can fractal his lycans, and even then you have to kill him (miracles FTW), not to mention his huge stall power...

EDIT: BTW, here is the deck...

Code: [Select]

Pulverizer shuts down his drawing power, and that makes him ridiculously easy. At most he can play 2 Miracles without using his Hourglasses (Estimate). Hopefully Permafrost gets lucky and freezes his spirits. If he steals your Pulverizer near the beginning, you should just quit though.

You forgot his explosions... And steals. That's what makes him/her nasty
