Oracle : Rainbow

That's what your Hourglasses are for, or if you have a PA in your deck and put it on the Pulverizer it's GG.

That's what your Hourglasses are for, or if you have a PA in your deck and put it on the Pulverizer it's GG.

Still bad draws screw it up, since you need the shield or you're dead, hourglasses or your perms are dead (and even then he can smash all of them and keep having explosions), a pulvy to slow him down, SoG's to stop from dying (because you still take damage)... CCYB has a hard time against Rainbow, take a look at the god-by-god breakdown.

On the other hand, RoL Hope can deal with the CC and has little problem with PC. I've won against him lots of times with it, at least more than 50%

[Higurashi]

Myes, if you play a bunch of games against Rainbow with CCYB, you will lose most of them.
+30-card Rolhope decks on the other hand can actually win all of them provided even mediocre draws. How? Deckout. Winning by stalling enough to Fractal Archangels (the fastest option) past the Miracles is your second best bet, but won't happen very often. Since deckout is the easiest method, many still opt to skip her as it takes ages. Also, most run 30-card rolhope decks, which makes the decking much harder. You have to get lucky with how early Rainbow gets her Hourglasses out.

Try to hold on long enough for a Forest Spectre to get big and then Antimatter/Liquid Shadow it.

failed using the first deck. sorry.
it could've been my fault, I'm a tactical moron when it comes to antimatter.

No, it's not your fault... Rainbow is just hard, plain and simple.. :/

[TheForbiddenOracle]

I don't think that second deck can win at all. His miracles will leave you decked out, or his burrowed shriekers will get to you eventually. His drawing power will bring them all out insanely fast

[kitty45]

The first deck has a chance

 it is good

[Stickmasterluke]

Second deck does not work. I got a good hand, got a shield out early, and everything, but he got three shriekers out and I BB'd one of them, but he still got me. Shriekers were the main problem.

[Essence]

Rainbow just got a lot tougher; with the the 1.27 AI, he doesn't burrow his Shriekers anymore.

Does Rainbow ever get rid of the cloak? That is the deciding factor between life and death against him Nevermind, just read it. Though I would save up all the PU/TU until your last Cloak runs out, as if you get a cloak every 3 turns it would be 40/41

[TheIdioticIdiot]

in the thread, it describes a general strategy against gods with miracle
in rainbow's case, yeah, u would save them all until the end
