I'm trying to build a deck that counters the most used plat decks.

Poison dials: purify+sanctuary healing
Swallow: quint+owl's eye or otyugh
Rush: bonewall+oty or owl's eye
DBH: sanctuary
Stall: quint+steam machine
Mono darkness+SoV: bonewall+oty or owl's eye (they can't kill you if they can't hit you, unless drain life)
Mono aether+SoW or psions: jade shield (plus, the 2 DR is quite nice)
Mono Air+SoFre: Rain of Fire

The counter to all: SoSe.

Animate weapon is there just because SoSe often gives weapons, plus, I already have 2 owl's eye.

Any suggestions?

Edit: latest version

I think an hourglass may be better than AW,
given how you try to counter most strategies with a single copy.

also, unstoppable/SoW/explosion/... seems necessary,
as quite a few shields can stop you to the point of deckout.

I didn't try, but is a 6th SN worse than a QT?

[Higurashi]

With SoSe's I tend to prefer another QT over a 6th Snova too.

Like tom in drag said, you'd really want draw power if you plan on countering everything with one copy. Unfortunately this means cutting out the SoSe's ('cause you'll want 2 HG's in Plat for -sure-), but it also means you can do -1 QT +1 Snova, which is beneficial. With the third card space left over you should probably pack Imp. Miracle. By removing the Graboid (since it's rarely ever going to do more than 12 damage), you can pack a SoSe, although a Pande would be smarter x)

Up to you if you want fun or reliable, as always.

Ok, thank you for the suggestions, I'll update in a few minutes.

SoSe is simply card advantage, plus it can give pandemonium as well.

[iancudorinmarian]

Yep, miracle saved me and I made a comeback with quint+SoW.

[iancudorinmarian]

Latest version has +1 eternity and +1 gnome raider, because I often deck-out or buttom deck the steam machine. Also changed the SoSe to a pandemonium.

[CrockettRocket]

with Eternity, the time quanta is too strained -1 hourglass

I never even play a second HG, that's mostly for draw chance.

Its just to prevent deckout; by the time you use eternity your hourglasses have long become useless (chances are you will prefer eagles eye for CC though eternity is excellent CC, but to expensive) Quanta index is not apllicable here

Edit:
Btw is preventing deckout so important that it justifies needing on average of 1 extra draw to draw your rather specific answers? My guess is, that in order to be worth it youd have to get at least 10% of your wins in a situation where eternity saves you, because otherwise drawing that answer that you need right now might be more important.

I was thinking of something like this before I ran upon a thread. My deck is shaped more like a traditional SNBow, though. Is this another case of great minds thinking alike?

[TribalTrouble]

Hey, is this thread still up to date on your latest version? Also, why don't you have any PC to deal with SoP decks or Pulvy?

also, just beat inthisroom's arena deck with this. His own Psion dealt the final blow.

Yep, this is still up to date, I've been using it up to today. And no PC because I usually don't need it.
