Seems to do fine in Plat.

Had a good run today with 12 Wins and 2 Losses.
I'm not encountering lots of PC. But early Steals or SoFo which destroy all towers can mean a loss. I try to let them target sundials in case I don't have many towers.
Discord can be very troublesome especially because of SoSac.

I like the increased amount of SoD, saved me 2 or 3 times.

Oh, btw, I'm playing -1 Deadly Poison +1 Arsenic. I wanted to try this mod against FG's because I have the feeling they're using more PC atm than Plat. So for Plat the original build should work equally well. However, my luck with FG's wasn't that good so far :P I often encountered Jezebel with Gravity Nymph, Black Nymph, Light Nymph, Air Nymph. So lots of healing on his side and instant damage with Unstable Gases.

Short remark on the Bonewall issue of Morte:

It has been compared to Mono-Aether but Phase Shields last only 3 turns and not all decks in Plat start with 200 HP.
I don't know how many BoneWalls Morte has but personally, I'd say that Morte is much harder than a Mono-Aether (?) because 7x Blocks is more than twice of a Phase Shields and it sometimes
sacrifices Retroviruses to generate skeletons.

Spoiler for Hidden:

Most mono Aether decks have constant shielding anyway, though they don't have Miracle. :)

Going away from the comparison, there are a number of ways to prevent Morte using Miracle:
  • A long SoSac chain that clogs his hand with creatures will likely make him discard it
  • He may not even draw it
  • Using SoSac you can control the number of RoL on the field (AI won't play them when SoSac is up), leaving Morte with low/no light quanta production
  • Dropping the SoSac chain two turns before a possible miracle means Morte will play all his Archangels, which could leave him without the light quanta to Miracle the turn after. Admittedly this is pretty risky as Morte might play a bunch of RoL instead of angels, but it's okay as a last resort.

Depending on draws some strategies work better than others (e.g. the last two points won't work if Morte starts with many RoL, but can win the game if he starts with one/none), but more often than not I find that Morte is beatable somehow or other.

Isn't this deck an "autoquit" against Scorpio because of his 'Purifies'?

He only has two, and often smart playing can still fight through one.

A love this deck, but I has only 4 SoSac :/

Some more news about it.

Dark Matter -> First time I wanted to skip because of this, but actually I won. If it gets Gravity nymph late, you can stack the poison and defend yourself with the Sundials (they are free so he can't stop you for plaing then in), If there's Arsenic for the early game and you can store 2 pillars/pend for SoSac (play the pillars only when you want to play SoSac).

Serket -> Cruel, but you can win. I only had 4 SoSac and I died by the lack of it, but with 124 poison counter... So it's faster than you, but SD-s and SoSac can compensate easily (in that case you can be sure about EM ).

Rainbow-> That guy once stolen my first 2 pillar and used Explosion 3 of my Sundial. In every other match I could beat it, but that was dirty.

Paradox can play the second Miracle :/ I know for my own bad luck.

My poison dials surprisingly has an 11-0 record against dark matter, so I believe you, Zergva.  It seems really weird that it works, but it does.
