*Note: Credit for the addition of novas goes to rainingblood. Though he was using supernovas.

Anyway, first, the deck:
Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 7ap 7ap 7ap 7ba 7ba 7ba 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q5 7q5 7q6 7q6 7q9 7q9 7q9 7qu 7qu 7qu 7qu 7qu 7qu 8pn


Basically, stall until you can Dragon + Mitosis + SoR spam. Each SoR will then grant an additional two dragons. Ideally, this is an OtK deck but it doesn't have to be. The novas are for shard quanta and sundial quanta (don't play a SoG until after you've dial drawn, if possible). You can tweak with the deck's exact contents, and even make it a duo without novas. Additionally, I'm using novas instead of entropy mark and super novas because of life mark = +2 healing each SoG.

So yeah. It's kinda fun.

Super novas allow you to use sky blitz and chimera for the guaranteed OTK for fewer cards (dragon + mitosis + 2 SOR + skyblitz vs dragon+mitosis+4 sor). There are several decks floating around rainbow and duo based on this idea :)

Yes, but that also makes it more OtK oriented. The idea with this deck is to not necessarily NEED an OtK. And since it has fewer cards in the combo, it's much less draw intensive.

That said, rainbow is still viable if you want an entirely OtK approach.

Yeah the less forced dragons trio is nice and can be quite speedy, I was getting 7-8 turn kills on AI3 without any SoGs and precogs. Not quite sure what is best in PvP as I don't have the shards to experiment with it. It will be interesting to see how this idea evolves.

O' Hai, PuppyChow

Happy to see you liked the deck -- My in-game account is 'philogos.' 

I've been tweaking the following deck for Platinum. It's not entirely flawless, but there's definitely a lot of potential in this strategy. Hopefully others can expand on it more.

This is what I use right now: 

Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
6rq 6rq 6rq 6rq 6rq 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u7 6u7 6u7 6u7 7ap 7ap 7q5 7q5 7q6 7q6 7ri 7ri 7ri 7ri 7ri 7ri 7ri 7ri 7ri 80k 8pj


I tried going all 5 sundials and precogs at first, but found it :time intensive + the dials kept getting destroyed. That's the reason for the antimatter. I'm still not sure, but it might be better to go 2 antimatter and 2 unupped pandemonium against rush decks. The silence can help lock-in a two turn kill if needed.
