Wow, really creative and fun idea! But isn't it a bit too overkill on the Skull Shields? Maybe -1 Skull +1 Tower?

Depends on the version you're referring to. While I agree that it could need an extra tower, I think that 4 Skulls aren't overkill. 4 gives decent draw chance and if you're facing PC, you really want some backup. But yeah, maybe it comes down to preference.

Thunderstorm in the first version would fit so well

Indeed, or Plague (when playing upped at least). Thanks for the input! I probably will change the OP later. :)

By adding the most OP combo in the game, I somehow managed to take it a completely different way. Now, where did I put that explosion?

Very different way indeed xD I started off with Bone Yards and SoP but didn't really want to go the upped and rainbow way. If you think your deck is worth posting, I consider it different enough for its own thread. :)

This is an innovative, and very fun deck.  However, AI3 is a bit frustrating right now because it seems EVERY deck has a counter in just a few turns!
I know what you mean with immediate counters. Yesterday I had a winning streak of 15 Wins on AI4, today I probably won a bit less than half the matches. So it also seems quite luck dependant. Didn't test AI3 extensively, but there also should be some fairly easy wins among them.

Here's the version I'm playing:

Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
52k 52k 52k 52k 52l 5v1 5v1 5v1 710 710 710 710 710 710 710 714 715 715 719 719 7mt 7mt 7mt 7mt 7mt 7nq 7nq 7nq 7th 7th 8pt

Obviously, I'm missing some upped cards.  The plagues are amazing because they kill all the damselflys the opponent has and then they all turn into poisoned skellies!!  The Shard of Freedoms offer a counter to some shields and a PC target that isn't a skull shield.  I considered using a cloak but the cards most troubling to the deck aren't countered by it.
Glad you made a variation with SoFr. How is it going? I wanted to try them but didn't have the time yet. As for plagues, they're cool indeed. Thunderstorm would also be an option - as has been mentioned - in case you want to kill immediately.

Nightmare is interesting because 9 out of 10 times the AI won't play the damselfly's on it's next turn EVEN WHEN PLAYING AN AIR DECK! Therefore, it's a fantastic stall card in addition to being a key piece of the strategy.  If you're digging for Condors or shields and have a few Nightmare's in hand - it's possible the ai won't play a card for several turns ... just keep giving it bad dreams.

To Gandora: Thanks for this deck -  I needed some fun!  :D
Haha, you're welcome :) I was bored too, so I came up with this ;)

The SoFr's are ok ... but they don't draw ANY heat from the shields.  So far in AI3 there are 3 near auto scoops that occur.  Secord turn Electrocuter, an early Eagle's Eye or the rainbow // either darkness deck stealing the shield.  That's like 5 out of how many decks that will make me rage quit.  Which is why I considered cloak ... with so many ways of breaking the cloak I think it should not be a timed spell.  I'd actually use the one I have upped (I haven't used it in the 3+ months I've had it lol)

I guess I'll tool around with it and play AI4 ... I didn't feel it was strong enough but apparently you've had luck there ... maybe I will too!

EDIT: I'm about 1 in 10 ... and my win/loss matters to me!  I'll have to come back to this lol
