Sorry, mate.

But there is no deck that can beat rainbow without rares or upped cards. He is simply too strong.

But let me know if you do find a deck like that, because if you do, pigs will fly.
(and dont try to use the swine flu joke, lol)

Well, it doesn't have to be an elite deck that can win 80-90% of the time. A deck that could at least give someone a fighting chance would suffice.

thats just it. rainbow is far too strong too be beaten with a unupped deck. You wouldn't even stand a chance against him unupped because he has too explosions and steals.

EDIT: The only deck that i can think of is SG's False God Rainbow:

updated with a decent unupped deck vs. Rainbow.

needs some decks that work well specifcally against Rainbow

first of all, take out two gravity shields and add in a few more deflags. or take out three and add an oty and firestorm or something similar.

or start over and go mono Aether. it has the best chance against rainbow.

Actually, I could see that working fairly well. Most of Rainbow's dangerous creatures have more than 5 hp, so a protected gravty shield would be very useful. Having just 1 or 2 growing golems quinted would be able to kill him since he has no shields, and the basilisk bloods would let you take care of low hp creatures.

*facepalm*

Rainbow can be easily beaten if you know he's coming.  Go gravity+earth, use otyugh to control and heavy armor to get him big enough, and use black holes and earthquakes to put rainbow in it's place.

i would advise you to ignore anything this poster has to say because most of the comments i've seen him post on anti-FG strategies is either trolling/misleading/false

on-topic:
that unupped seems fine on defense (grav.shield is the best against her) but unfortunately you're relying on just 2 golems to do your bidding which in this case is not enough. you will probably decked out before you can finish her off due to half a dozens Miracle shes packing

[Nume]

It could lose if the golems were late, however if they got even one fairly early it would be winnable, as their damage is growing and can get very high. Rainbow doesnt have light towers so if you can kill it in ~3 turns you can generally power through the miracles even if she does draw them.

[Baldylocks]

I'll admit that I am fairly new here, but since Rainbow plays a CRAPLOAD of cards and doesn't have a purify, wouldn't a flock of quinted dune scorpions solve the problem?

[kobisjeruk]

you dont even need quint for the dune scorpions
just one hit is all it takes...but rainbow does have 6 miracles so they might be able to outrace your damage unless you have something to counter their damage potential, say a protected gravity shield
i'd go with something tricolor like dune scorpion, momentum, grav.shield, basilisk blood, enchant artifact, eternity (to avoid deckout)

i'll post a test decklist later (i dont like using trainer and i only test oracle-fg deck when facing them for real)
