Team Rainbow

[ZephyrPhantom]

I get the feeling that Team Rainbow is meant to be Team Underworld's opposite.  As stated by  9270984, it seem like  would encourage elements to work together.  In a sense, creating a totally new neutral party that I think fills in a gap in the Elements world - the ordinary guys, the people/elementals that weren't affected by the elemental strife, and unlike  didn't volunteer to join at all or have some crazy revenge story, they're just oridinary people who want peace... but sometimes you must fight to gain peace.  As a result, I vote yes.  Rainbow could become a different team altogether, and I like the sound of that.

I understand how team rainbow is supposed to work, but considering the strong disagreement regarding it's use, I feel like they shouldn't be added.  The idea isn't a bad one, because half of the community likes it, but without community consensus, the idea shouldn't be added.

For starters, specific differences between team underworld and team rainbow should be mentioned.

For instance, team underworld is all about the segregation of elements, and has to play a mono (but can play any mono), while team rainbow cannot take more than 10 cards from an element in their deck.

i think we should not allow a rainbow team, cos it is very very easy to counter any rainbow deck when you know what whey will use only QUantum Pillars. Black Holing them or destroing their pillars it's pure death for any rainbow deck  + that it's a slow deck and any rush deck is just killing them easily. My opinion it's to weak to be added

I know I'm new around here but I wanted to say that I like the idea of team rainbow. I think something would have to be done about black hole if it were included, though, and it's not clear to me how to do that. Maybe they have a card penalty, but the option to choose to be mono as well? Because if you know rainbow is coming and you have black hole, it won't work at all.

The entire concept of War is to pit the elements against each other. Underworld is a team of underdogs ... and that's fine, but by definition they should have major disadvantages. Having a Rainbow team makes no sense in the overall concept of elements battling against each other -- fighting amongst themselves for supremacy.

I'm new to War but have just become interested in it

It is indeed an interesting debate on whether Rainbows should be allowed in War. I think that War is a great idea for pitting element vs element... but Rainbow decks are a large part of Elements.

I do think Rainbow decks can be too strong vs many elements (if well built), but can be extremely weak against others... see gravity. However, this may be the inherit reason to ALLOW Rainbows: They will not blow away all competition by default and shouldn't get beat by every other element.

IMHO I'd say try it in the next war. If Rainbow overly dominates, or vice versa, then remove Rainbows.

Maybe also take a vote again after it is tried. You'll get a much better view of the communities opinion when the idea is tested.

Perhaps some way to allow rainbow decent odds against BH decks. The current rules state that quantum pillars are the only ones allowed. Maybe any pillar could be allowed? You would still have to use cards from 5 elements; it would still be a rainbow. Now you just have a better chance against counterdecks.
