Play pillars/towers immediately. Play a Firefly first turn if possible. Play a Rustler/Leaf Dragon the next turn. Play more Fireflies and Firefly Queens. Until you have a Hope up, only photosynthesise enough to generate more Fireflies and perhaps a Feral Bond. Once you have a Hope up, spam photosynthesise and play more Leaf Dragons and Feral Bonds. Keep generating Fireflies.

The strategy can take some getting used to, but it works fairly well for me and gets quite a few EMs against Half-Bloods. It would probably work fully upgraded, although may need more pillars.

Strengths:
All of its creatures pass through Wings, and all but the queens pass through Gravity Shield. Half Bloods that rely on small-attack creatures can be easily blocked by Hope.

Weaknesses:
Renewable creature control, in particular, Otyughs, Maxwell's Demon, and abundant Scarabs. Fire Shield, Thorn Carapace, Rain of Fire, Pandemonium, Plague and Retrovirus are deadly against it.

Recommended upgrading path:

Pillars --> Towers
Rustlers --> Leaf Dragons
Empathic Bonds --> Feral Bonds

NEVER upgrade Fireflies, Firefly Queen or Hope. Elite Fireflies generate , Elite Queens generate Elite Fireflies, and upgraded Hope costs one more .

Please try it in the trainer before buying/using it, I haven't used it that much.

This looks like a decent deck. What kind of opponents have you played against with it?

[Xenocidius]

Well, I tried it against AI3, but it seems very impractical against it. Mostly I've been playing Half Bloods, of which I've won about 60-75% of games. It could have some success against certain False Gods, but I'm not sure.

ever think about sky blitz as a finisher im using 2 and its nice for diamond and other annoying shields

Ahhh. remove the Fireflies since you have Queens. Add some  Dragons for some real damage since you'll have too much  from photosynthesizing. Make a space for some upped Hope to replace unupped. Maybe add some Miracles for some healing to increase money/score gain from kills, since Bonds only heal once at the turn's end.

Amd you should add Fire Storm and Pandemonium to weakness part, it's pretty deadly too, your Hope counter could be depleted in 1 turn
