Nymph's Tears/Purify Trio

[blueberrymania]

Surprisingly enough, this deck hasn't been posted (that I could find). Its a simple enough deck that it should have been. But here's the deck:

In what environment have you tested it and what are your conclusions? Seems relatively unfocused.

Don't forget that even with quick access to NT activated abilities of nymphs are only usable once each turn.

What I am trying to say is that you might not live long enough to get the Nymphs online (or they get frozen or otherwisely killed before you can stabilize).

AND a full set of dragons shouldn't be necessary if you get the NT up and running.

I suggest tuning down to 40 cards, remove some dragons (you neither want them early nor you gonna need all of them) and some pillars (perhaps some QP?) and add some removal to make sure you make it until the late-game.

I'd be interested to see with what build you eventually end up 

Good luck

Thank you so much for reminding me to take out four of the dragons. I had already figured out that my dragons are rarely useful, but kept forgetting to take them out of my deck.

Btw, just so you know, this started out as chrysaoras, death pendulums, NTs, ice dragons, and water pillars, so this deck might evolve quite a bit more.

Okay modified deck is:

Oh, and I have tested it in AIs 1-3, and PVP1.

Deck strategy:

Use nymph tears to summon a nymph queen. Use this to create other nymphs. Use purple nymph to invert opponent's attack power. Use red nymph mainly to increase the attack power of your creatures and to get around gravity shield. Purple nymph should be first summon after nymph queen in most cases.

Just found something out: this deck relies on the nymphs attacking. If your opponent, say, has a toadfish and several squid, you'll probably lose.

This deck is now being tested in the bronze arena. So far its won 6 games and lost 2.
It is also being tested as a silver deck.

Here is a similar deck that uses the same strategy, but unlikely it's not consistent because it's pretty slow to build.

[blueberrymania]

Hmm... It looks similar, but the two decks have some differences in overall strategy. My deck uses liberal usage of purifies, creating the possibility of a single water nymph getting +5 attack per turn; and the purifies also serve the purpose of stopping poison decks in their tracks. The other deck is aimed more at quanta denial, and looks like it might have problems with getting off the ground in terms of quanta. It is true that the two decks were both created with the same idea of abusing Nymph's Tears, but the strategies are different. If I had found that deck when I was doing the search, I might have posted this deck there, but I can't change the past.

Okay, it's played five games in the arena and lost every one of them. Please do not use this as your arena deck, as its a horrible arena deck.

Arena testing complete! Out of twenty games, it won 15 of them, but didn't get one special spin. You might be better off with Chapuz's frOTKkal found at http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,42698.msg537514.html#msg537514

Did you try the frOTKal in bronze?? how does it make it? 

[blueberrymania]

Are you kidding? It totally pwns everything. It also wins a vast majority of games in silver. However, it doesn't work very well in gold.

Why am I skeptical about that?

Froktal? I wouldn't, it's a solid deck.

Ah Froktal. I thought he was referring to this deck.

[UndeadSpider1990]

I'm not sure what you want all that purify for. Hmm... try an iceshield?

It sure is a fun idea though. I started messing around now look what I ended up with!
