This is a very simple deck that uses the old..
Leaf Dragon + light quantum = bunch of life quantum.

I took a mark of fire so that I can get crowd control and permanent removal.

I know you've most likely already considered this, but if you don't draw one of the yhree Emerald Towers, you're sort of screwed. >.<

Yeah, that could be a problem. It all depends on what the opponent has. If he has a speed deck and all your Towers are at the bottom, you are done.

I had one match where I didn't draw a Tower until the 15th card or something. It really sucked but hopefully the opponent had a slow deck. When I finally was able to play a Leaf Dragon, I got 100+ life quantum and pushed out 4 Jade Dragons on the same turn.

Now that I think about it, 4 Emerald Towers would probably be a better choice. Yeah, definitely. I wouldn't take 5 though.

7 cards only to get quanta wont work. Not telling that you need one of those 3 pillar FIRST, then you need a leaf dragon, and need it alive!
A simple mono-light with red mark will go faster, work better and have more creatures to rely on, even a light pillar only with life mark and leaf dragons+jade dragons.
Not speaking about those useless fire lances: a simple otyugh will need 2 of them, unless waiting until turn 11...:S

What about life mark and 3-4 red towers?

That's what will often happen: and a good opponent will have all his defences up

PS: why in rainbow section? Imo i'll put here decks with quantum pillars/towers, while using only element towers is a logic closer to duo-decks

Hmm.. I think I understood about half of what you said.

7 cards only to get quanta? Um.. this deck has 9 Light Towers and Leaf Dragons will double the quantum. I don't understand what you are saying.
EDIT: Ok I get it now.. kind of.

Otyughs are not as big problems as you'd think. He can only eat your Leaf Dragons, not Jade Dragons. If the opponent has an Otyugh on the table you can..

1. Kill it with 2 Fire Lances
2. Play 2+ Leaf Dragons at the same time (remember the Leaf Dragon only needs to survive for ONE turn)

Now if your opponent a lot of crowd control cards and creatures.. then you are pretty much done.

Fire Lances are not useless. There are many annoying 3HP or less creatures (Like Fire Dragon) that you can get rid of. I would much rather take something better but this isn't a rainbow deck and there are no better options. I did play with 6 x Explosion first but I like this version better.

I suggest you try this deck in trainer. It's not the best deck ever but it's not as weak as you think. It actually quite well-rounded and with good or average luck, can take out most opponents.

Life mark and 3-4 red towers?
Yeah I had that at first but I changed it. Probably because this way you might be able to play Leaf Dragon during your first turn. Also this version produces more Life quantum. But it would work other way as well and you could even take 1-2 Firestorms.


EDIT: I put this in rainbow section because there is no trio-deck section on this forum (there should be!!!).

I think it was Jellyfish who said that it clogs up the front page if we add more things to it. But is deck building really the area where we should try to limit the space? It's the most important part of this forum and if we need to free up some space, there are many useless topics on front page that could easily be removed, merged or hidden somewhere.

Good argumentations, but this deck will wait for life quanta OR creatures most of matches, "and this is fact" (a sentence you like a lot ;P): i've played lots of decks with 3-4 key cards, and i can ensure you that they need some alternative strategy.
This slowness will make the deck lose most of times against fast decks, and lose most of times against control decks. So it will lose against most of decks most of time

You are assuming this deck is based on getting those Leaf Dragons out as fast as possible. Well, it's not. You don't have to slowly build up your damage. You can wait and then play 4-5 Jade Dragons at the same time dealing 50+ damage.

No it's not a fact actually. With 4 Towers, on average you should have 1 Tower and 1 Leaf Dragon in your starting hand. Sometimes you don't get both of them but it's not a big deal. You can use Fire cards to slow the opponent down and collect that Light quantum while you wait.

yep: 4-5 dragons means you have them in the hand, + 1 leaf dragon (otherwise they'll be killed in the way) is 6, 7 if you want to play 2 of them to be sure 1 survives:
that means no other cards in your hand! So no explosions: some good permanent and you're done.
Adding that the opponent will have ALL his defences ready in hand, because you played nothing for all the game...unplayable against humans, maybe ai will spoil sundials when you put up the morning glory...

Again I have really hard time understanding what you are saying, but you seem to base the effectiveness of this deck on some random situation and have forgotten the fact that we draw one card each turn.

Protected Grav shield in a Earth-Grav deck? Come to think of it, its not a bad idea...
