what do you take out for sog's when you do get them.

Thanks for this deck. I play it and upgrade the cards one by one. I have added one more quint and the three SOGs I have, plus an Electrocutor. A really fun thing is to PU then kill the enemy's Anubis and be able to quint more creatures.

I mostly use it against AI5 though to gain some money to take on FGs. Against FG I seem to be really out of luck (many ditches in row, and bad draws if not). Against AI5, I win 8-9 of 10 matches. The success and EM rate is similar to SG's almost unupped rainbow, but with this deck, it's much faster to find out if I will have to admit defeat and I can have another go. Also, the matches that I end up by winning are quicker. This is probably related to the fact that SG's deck usually ends with a ton of creatures which slows down the game, while this one is slimmer.

to add shards do I take out the lightnings?

Absolutely not, at least I didn't.

- One of them can kill a small critter you can't or don't want to devour with an oty (don't have it yet or would get poisoned). Think butterfly'ed micro abomination, puffer fish, crimson dragon, or just a pest when you're low on pillars.
- One of them can damage a larger creature into devouring range.
- Two of them can kill practically everything that annoys you.
- Finally, you can use them to bring down the enemy's health if you couldn't last for one more round yourself

This also allows you to play shields more effectively, because if you eliminate some threat for just 2 quanta, you can spare them for later. Especially if you can heal at the same time due to shards.

And if you have 4 titans? With 2, take ligntnings out for shards. They could help vs growth cretures but shards help you last longer. hmmmmm

Well honestly: This Deck (ran it for about 40 games vs. FG) even when beeing 2/3 upgraded still is not really good by any means. You need that early quinted Otyugh for most gods, if you dont get it you are a goner allready. You also need a Titan with animate Weapon, if they show up late in your Deck you are screwed anyway. Decking out is a problem too (happend 4 times to me in 40 games) cause when you cant deal any dmg with your otyughs due to enemies boneshield and got no titans until the final 3 cards you are screwed again.

I guess for a nearly unupped mono it gives a solid shot at the easier gods at a low price but thats it. Thats a big advantage here. So it really is a good FG-beginners deck. Two thumps up for that. But it cant compete in any way to a standard rainbow with sume upped cards. So I guess it would be cool to start with your deck and use the money/cards won to build a solid rainbow. If you dont like rainbow I would go with a fractal devoiurer vampire deck like this one here for example: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,6020.0.html (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,6020.0.html)

But I give you credit for coming up with it, though I dont like it very much

I don't know if it's mentioned, but it's no longer possible to control scorpio's puffers and chrysoria with oty since they poisons if ingested.

Yeah, and I would move Osiris into Widely Variable or Very Hard because he no longer decks out.

Tested the initial deck today, around 2-3% win rate, thus my score is plumeting towards zero, but still was able to get 5000 in around six hours of playing.

Even for the so-called "easy" FG decks, if you have a bad hand, which happens more usual than not, you are screwed....

[Gyrodiot]

I can't believe it... I won for the first time against a False God thanks to this deck !

It was Neptune ! (the combo Titan - Animate Weapon - Quintessence saved me)

So, Essential thanks to Essence ^^

[frlaa]

Is it better than sg unupped fg rainbow??? i am not rich and i would like to know which card to upgrade

[Kometh]

Works fine, almost killed Decay (8hp, only because he had a life siphon ><) But I still can't upgrade the flying weapon, so i have to put 2 air pendulum in my deck. I also added an Electrocuter and a SoG, helps a lot. Miracle killed me twice, no aether pillar until the 5/6th turn; morte also killed me, 3 deadly poison, even if i had 3 oty and 2 titans.

P.S: Sorry if my english is bad, I'm french ^^"
