WHy use unupped sundials when I have upped?  I dont understand why the use of the quanta would benefit me.

The mulligan, with the sundials free, they can screw up your opening hand. With a mark of time, unupped sundials makes more sense.

170 hp, 10 upgraded cards, triple mark, and double draw. Platinum League. Oracle card was short bow.

Just felt like breaking up the monotony of decks I submit and go with a mono air deck just to see how it'd work.

The Animate and Sky Blitz were the only upgraded air cards I have. The deck surprisingly went 2-5 when I doubted it'd win at all. Just wonder if the two losers happened to rate it up or just raged rated like most seem to.

The Arena / Re: Never thought a a Pharao deck would do so good

I run ^^ same version, only the other Chimera is upped thanks to Akebono.

It has decent rates against Platinum and Gold both. Never thought to try the lower leagues to see if it dominates them or not.

pretty much exactly what i am running against Platinum:

2nd chimera only unupped cos i havnt got round to it yet and it doesnt need to be upped.

Throw this at silver and bronze and win. I would use a version like this rather than with the gravity constructs, because with this version 2nd turn readied pharaoh is fairly likely. (1-2 pharoahs 5-6 constructs 1-2 readies)

The reason its great against AI is because the only CC that targets pharaoh above scarabs is lobo. most of the time if you get a readied pharaoh out by turn 3 u win. Against anything with liklihood of CC save throwing the pharaoh until you can also ready it if you are nervous.

V fun deck too.

I'm starting to think 2 chimera's is better cos my deck has trouble with getting the chimera when it's needed.
I'm going to look or there are diferences.

I ran one Chimera with an extra tower for the longest time, the second one really really improves the deck versing anything with shields or high damage in slower games.

Great deck, first off.

Yet, I wonder how this would work with entropy mark and Gravity Pendulums. I often find myself having to discard too often, due not drawing a pendulum in time. (Or something like that, been a few weeks since I last played this deck. Just know I ran into dead draws often.)

Until it is made a Google Doc, check out Open Office (http://www.openoffice.org/). Much better than Microsoft Office, anyway.

Thank you UTAlan! I will most certainly enjoy using this now.

Since I was referred here (thanks Pika)

"Any chance someone has a Google Document update to this to include 1.29 with the new shards and everything?"

I can't use excel as I don't have it, so this would be really appreciated.

Worse game ever for Elidinis? Not a single water tower and only one Aether, ouch.

Using the original deck:

0/3 vs. FG's so far. (Yes I know how to work the deck)

Obliterator: Destroyed my Scarabs with G-pull + Dragons then bashed through the bone wall. Only one Mummy/RT/Pharoah/SOR that game.

Incarnate: Bloodsuckers infected and killed my Pharoah and Scarabs.

Dream Catcher: No Quantum due to EQ/Discord/Destroy.

(May update later, if things change for the better, but so far that 85% is way off basis)
