Id say - 1 Blessing, +1 beacon.

Try to incorporate Rescue Cat in there

rescue cat on 2nd turn can get you 2 amethyst cats in your spell/trap + deal 1200 lifepoint damage to your opponent.

2 amethyst cats, get off a crystal beacon, bring out pegasus, you got 3 CB's in 1 turn :P

Id also say run 1 more eagle. Using the Cobalt Eagle+Pegasus loop is amazingly effective.

I never found Tree to be all that useful - always just clogged space for me. I'd use a third Release; that card is amazing.

Nice, but I just don't like Rainbow Dragon in a CB deck.
I've tried him and it didn't work too well.

[PsiShade]

Try the Monkey Immortal? My friend used it and it was supper effective (no pokemon pun intended).

it all depends on how fast you can get himout.

I've won local games by summoning rainbow dragon with Rainbow gravity and having all 7CB in GY / field.

[Aarikku]

My Crystal Beast deck's a Rainbow Dragon variation too. To the point where I'm running three (and have summoned all three in one turn; that was fun).

well it would be 2 turns lol, but i do side this incase rainbow dragon is acting up and being laggy i just side into cat rush/ abundance otk

i thought the same till i tried it. the whole point is to never play it unless you can get something off it. play tree summon pegasus pop tree play beacon sp ruby.

now the field is 1 ruby and 3 sapphire with 2 backrow cb's. and if you can set up field presents with cb's the game is pretty much done

im sorry to hear that. i like it because it adds more win conditions. normally cb's have abundance or some random syncro out but once those go its game over. i just see rainbow dragon as my jd and as long as the ruins are behind him and you have enough to negate spells and traps youre set.

i am playing around with ebi because rainbow ruins is the best field card to do so with period




thanks everyone more feed back please

[SubtleShadows]

Add a 3rd rare value, it's an amazing card.

[GGGRRRRRR]

im siding it because sometimes it's meh at best you know

[Umbra_Nex]

lol crystal beasts are always fun!!! but yea the tree never seemed to work when i used it...(more often than not that is)... i would take it out... gravi crush dragon and magna crush dragon are always fun! :D

[GGGRRRRRR]

never EVER mention those cards in this thread EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad:

[SubtleShadows]

Errrr, no I dont know. I've always found it to be useful. It has a cost that is very simple for a well run CB deck and gives much needed draw power. The only annoying thing is having 2-3 in your hand at once, and with the other support cards you cna easily restock your ST zones with CB's.

[GGGRRRRRR]

you just said why it sucks sometimes. 3 in hand hurts

[SubtleShadows]

That's like saying run 2 DD because sometimes you'll have three in your hand.
Except in a CB deck its ridiculously easy to get 2 CBs in the ST zones so its even easier to use....

[GGGRRRRRR]

sort of but not really. 5 draw cards in this deck is something to keep in mind. and lets keep in mind ddraw has a much easier cost. i could have 3 in hand with one d hero and i'd be fine. rather than 3 rare value and one or less cb's in back field
