Never thought a a Pharao deck would do so good

[rickerd]

I run ^^ same version, only the other Chimera is upped thanks to Akebono.

It has decent rates against Platinum and Gold both. Never thought to try the lower leagues to see if it dominates them or not.

pretty much exactly what i am running against Platinum:

2nd chimera only unupped cos i havnt got round to it yet and it doesnt need to be upped.

Throw this at silver and bronze and win. I would use a version like this rather than with the gravity constructs, because with this version 2nd turn readied pharaoh is fairly likely. (1-2 pharoahs 5-6 constructs 1-2 readies)

The reason its great against AI is because the only CC that targets pharaoh above scarabs is lobo. most of the time if you get a readied pharaoh out by turn 3 u win. Against anything with liklihood of CC save throwing the pharaoh until you can also ready it if you are nervous.

V fun deck too.

I'm starting to think 2 chimera's is better cos my deck has trouble with getting the chimera when it's needed.
I'm going to look or there are diferences.

I ran one Chimera with an extra tower for the longest time, the second one really really improves the deck versing anything with shields or high damage in slower games.

When I first started perusing the forums, which was a bit ago, I stumbled on this deck. It was the first one I made to actively go after the arena. An' it still works really well. I've made a handful of the other decks suggested throughout the forums (Xeno's monodark, that monogravy, and a liquid antimatter, 'fer a few) but I jus' keep comin' back to this. 'Cus it's fun and relevant. May actually be my favourite deck right now.

that is a vision i use
SoR cost 3,if only time tower, will cost such more.so i think nova is very suit

2 Chimera's really helps! I use the same deck to beat decks from bronze to platinum when I don't feel like using more usual grinding decks

Considering the bulk of the final Chimera, perhaps if a Catapult were added somewhere...

Well, the Catapult adds a lot of instability to the deck, and is almost useless. The only case it see it useful is when facing a lobotomizer and a phase shield:
-the lobotomizer lobotomize your Chimera.
-you cannot deal damage through the Phase Shield.

for the rest of the cases, a simple Chimera will do the trick.
I also found useful the addition of a SoPatience. You can delay your scarabs until you can produce a OTK (your chimera can always use a turn of momentum).
It also helps against SoSe or Phase Shields (if you don't want to merge all your scarabs into a Chimera).

I should upgrade my Pharaohs for the extra damage.

I'm considering adding 2x turtle shield, to help win the damage race against mono-aether.

I would add another 2-3 SoFocus if I had them.  SoFocus removes the main flaw in mono-time, no permanent control.

I've also considered a 2nd flying weapon, more eternities, and more hourglasses.

Ive been using this to grind plat/gold for special spins, biggest counter still poison, although you could expand the deck by adding a few purifys with the nova quantum. Does pretty well, and fast wins. It helps ALOT to play first though.

I tried to use the Shard of Patience, against Shards of Sacrifice or Phase Shields (when it's not Chimera time!), and i found that gaining +1|+0 * 15-20 creatures per turn is a nice damage increase.
It really counters many decks, even Miracles, because you can just wait when you're ready for an OTK (so they cannot heal).

[Poker Alho]

the chimeras could be powered off of the mark alone, unless you think you will play it in the first 6 turns of the match...

Not really, SoRs tends to drain your quanta, and many times i've had to devour 15+ opponent's creatures... gravity quanta is definitely needed!
