Nova Gate {Upped | Duo | Fun | Stall}

Okay, fail topic name is fail. But it does kind of fit, and I couldn't think of anything better.

First of all, here's the deck:

Okay, here's the strategy:

1. Play novas and aether pillars, and Mind Gates and use ability.
2. Play shields to stall for time and lobo to get rid of momentum.
3. Use pillars gained from Mind Gate to get more quanta.
4. Play attacking creatures to get some decent damage.
5. Play a creature gained from Mind Gate with the pillars you got.
6. Repeat this until you have a decent amount of damage.
7. Win the match (usually), and gain your rewards.

Some tips:
1. If you have more than one Mind Gate on the field, you should only use one per turn unless the card is a quanta producer or a card you have quanta to play mutiple of and it will be useful.

2. You could use aether Nymphs, Immortals, Dragons, or Recluses. I recommend using recluses upped and dragons unupped but this comes down to preference.

3. This works pretty well unupped as well, although it's slower. If you use it unupped, switch the mark to aether. Using unupped aether cards with upped supernovas is not something I recommend.

4. I tried variants with quantum towers, fractals, twin universe, and silence, but this was the deck with a highest win ratio I could find. If you have a better variant, please tell me below. I would love to hear other ideas.

Haha, so much fun to play.

My lucky punch on gravitron with a ver very similar deck to yours

[ddevans96]

Glad you like it. I think it's very fun to play, even if it's not the most effective deck ever.

Also, I'm adding some more stuff to the notes.

Thanks for the deck info.  You have more aether towers and aether nymphs.  I have no aether nymphs. 

I'm trying to build a mindgate deck that works on L5.  I'm opting for quantum towers instead of supernovas.  I also find eternity is great with mindgate.

I actually made this in trainer, which is why I mentioned the unupped version.

Quantum towers are another good option, but I find you need more than 6 to be as fast.

I'm working with 4 quantum towers and it seems to do alright.  With mindgate you are going to steal alot of pillars anyway.  I am thinking about 1 more upped aether pillar and maybe change an unupped aether to a time pendulm for 2 of those.  Not sure though.

Ahh, but your deck is upped and very expensive.

Works completely unupped too.

There's notes listed below, BTW.
