Technically a quartet because of the one Photon, otherwise a trio in any sane person's mind. I have been using this deck for quite some time now (owing to my inability to amass enough money to upgrade it) and I think I had a thread for it years ago, but since my account was deleted for inactivity, I can't find it.

Anyway, the basic idea is to rush all the 1/1 creatures out as fast as possible, and start mutating them with the Elves. The Novas are there to provide both a possible early boost and a pool of random quanta for the mutated creatures to use. It might not be a particularly competitive deck, but I've had success against even upgraded decks with it. Its greatest enemy seems to be Aether so far, especially lobotomy decks that can make my Elves useless. It's also vulnerable to horrible draws, I've had games where I didn't manage to draw a single Time Factory or Fallen Elf until the very end. Still, it's a fun deck and I enjoy playing it.

I've been polishing on my PvP1 Mutation decks for fun, and this is the most consistent rush I've been able to make so far.

Out of the two matches I've played today so far it's won in 5 turns both times (mm.. Bone Dragon with Deja Vu and then Dive). Last week I outrushed a Grabby rush in 5 turns and lost a grand total of 12 HP in the process x)

After running a lot of 4 Photons/4 Mitosis, 5 Elves, 1 Purple Nymph, Entropy pillars and pends, Life mark Mutation decks, I've found this is less vulnerable to CC due to Mutation coming out instantly and has a bit of CC of its own. It starts off fast (usually) and later on the QP's provide both (usually) and quanta for abilities.

Spoiler for Upped version, fun when 7 ttw'ing HB's:

@ Higurashi

Because of your 6 novas, you can "splash" other cards as well. I think, I would do something like taking out the reverse times for either a fog shield, a lightning or a basilsk blood, or maybe a gravity pull. But I honestly can't tell if this would be a better option than reverse time or not.

@ Solarn

Maybe you want to switch some time factories for time pendulums, to get more entropy quanta. To buy some time, one or two discords may be a good option.

[Higurashi]

Yup, it's customizable. It benefits from CC and PC, so sometimes I run it with less Mutations and some support control. But here's the issue: in fast games you need the Nova quanta to pay for abilities like Deja Vu and Dive, and there's no telling what these will cost. That is why I have RT as CC, plus the fact that it always gets surplus . It's primarily a rush. As for control and Elves, I also have a more standard 4 QP+6 Nova Entropy Mark rainbow that has more defence, control and Mitosis Photons AND a different version with Dejas.

This is the only version I can get to win in 5 turns as often as it does though x)

[Rutarete]

5 turn wins with that? I want to try it.

[Drake_XIV]

5 TTW you say?  Hm...

5 TTW you say?  Hm...

Her opponents tend to play multiple SoSas with low HP

This is a work of art :O

Cheers, it's very polished and all.

...so when finally connecting to PvP1 I ran into an Aetherbow. I got a nice 7/6 Cockatrice mutant with Growth for 1, so I was happy with that start. Then... he PU's it. Okay, that hurts. But it gets worse. His copy has Deja Vu. So I'm like, okay, that was lucky. I draw a Nova and am able to play my Elf and Mutation a third time. On his turn he uses the Deja Vu ability and gets... ANOTHER DEJA VU ABILITY COCKATRICE. I lost in 6 turns :L

On the plus side I got a Phase Dragon with Deja Vu into one with Steal for 1 next game. Poor NT rush had no chance when turned into Aboms over and over.
