As unupped decks go, that actually looks like it might have a reasonable chance vs rainbow, certainly better than many other unupped decks, and better than any I can think of.  I've been keeping track of my oracle games for awhile, and I have a 1-2 record with voodoo universe and a 1-0 with splat.  I've also used RoL/hope but for some reason I don't have my stats for that; I think it's in the same neighbourhood, though, pretty sure 1-1.

I'd say the best counter against Rainbow would have to be Gravy shield+PA with some healing, such as antimatter or sancts/SoGs. It could be done unupped, and all you have to do would be to outstall him while he draws himself to death. Something like this upped deck, only unupped.

It's obviously prone to bad draws, but if you get a grav shield out, it gets much easier to win.

[The Chosen One]

to kill this FG I used this:

55p 55p 55p 55p 592 592 592 595 595 595 595 5ia 5ia 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6rn 6rn 6rn 6rn 6rn 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u7 6u7 6u7 6u7 6u7 6u7 749 749 74f 77i 77i 77i 7gq 7gq 7gq 7k2 8pj

all up will be better 

miracle and black hole have to be used only at the end of the match,when FG have 0 cards, in this way you can do EM easily

*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 think you forgot he has god of cc bow upped Owl's eye

Used this (in its upped form) and it worked, but it was touch and go there for two reasons. One is that I was super low on health early in the game (<15). The other is that his hand starts to clutter. On the latter, make sure you don't PA your towers so that he has something to steal/explode and use an antimatter or two on a huge spectre (or two). Although you won't get the healing (grav shield blocks it) rainbow will have something to congeal/gravity force.

Thanks, furball

I never expected the deck in the OP to be so effective.



Heck, Rainbow barely had any quanta for an Eagle's Eye, let alone a Miracle.

This was also probably my fastest win against any FG. Ever.

[Edit] The following day, I got Rainbow again:

[Trylor]

Slight modification of Burnes' deck:

Spoiler for Hidden:

There is no deck that can take Rainbow down 95% of the time.

Not 95% but not far away too. and with EM please.

BB and antimatter are only for shrieker. You can leave you tower unprottected, it'll make it draw its steal and explosion.

When i first tested it i had problems with health falling dangerously low.
So i switched to Mark of Life, -5QT -2AM +5AT +1SoG +2BB +1Heal

How to play:

Spoiler for Hidden:

- Win by deckout
- Never protect a tower, Rainbow has no Quanta control so let him clear out his hand by wasting PC on towers (14 PC cards vs 10 towers)
- Never use your CC on Werewolfs or Spectres, GS will take care of them after a couple of turns
- Rainbow has 8 Graboids, You have 10 CC cards for them. Prioritize using AM if you will have enough quanta for a SN next turn, Rainbow will waste his GF, Congeal and TB on antimattered Shriekers. One SoG counters a burrowed Shrieker, two SoGs counters the EE. Your goal is to CC as many Shriekers as possible, if Rainbow gets to burrow more than 3 you risk losing the EM or even the match
- Your goals early is to get a protected shield, then a protected SoG out
- Use purify on yourself for added healing, the Heal can be used for a clutch save early, or if Rainbow gets a lot of Spectres out in the last turns, to get the EM

So far iv'e won 3/4 matches the last 2 months. The one loss i didn't get a single PA in ~15 turns. This is the main problem with the deck: at 50 cards it's inconsistent.

[ddevans96]

Used the OP deck, with some unupped cards. Was one fractal away from EMing her for several turns, didn't draw my third fractal until I had 9 cards left, lost to damage. Serious waste of time D:

[Jonny]

I just lost to rainbow with my half-upped Rol/Hope.
The upped fractals and the towers seem very important to make this deck work. The half-upped variant simply lacks the quanta.
