The 2 ??.?'s are Chimera's.
Well! Vampire Chimera, as you can see.
This deck is meant to be FUN. It works surprisingly well against AI3 and T50. The TTW is: 7.42 after 250 (that took a while :P) games. The EM rate? High. About 90%

What the cards are for:
3 Quantum pillars: Extra quantum. The auto-mulligan feature pretty much insures you get 1-2 of these. If you get lucky, you can have snova's (supernovas) out on your first turn, along with damaging creatures.

Snovas: These are your main quanta income. Play as fast as possible.

Flesh Spiders: Cheap damage. hold these back if your opponent can eat them, or play them and basilisk blood them.

Chimera's: These will combine all your creatures. Try not to use it unless you have 5 creatures out, and make sure to have 1-2 basilisk blooded for health.

Basilisk blood: This will add 0|20 to a creature but delay it. But wait! If you have the creatures out, basilisk blood them, then use Chimera, the basilisk blood's (from now on, BB) side effect, the delay for 6 turns, is gone, and you get 20 more hp :D

Giant Frogs: Damage. Try not to play if your opponent has something to eat/destroy them.

2 Rage Elixirs: Play these onto your Chimera or creatures with BB for extra damage.

Abyss Crawler: Damage. Play whenever.

Archangel: There are 2 possibilities with this. You can hold it and not play it until you have your chimera, and then use it to heal the Chimera, or just throw it in for more damage/health. I usually put it in with the chimera.

Elite Worm: Damage. Don't bother diving it, just have it out there.

Precognitions: These effectively make this deck 27 cards instead of 30.

Liquid Shadow: Play these *only 1 tho* on your Chimera for healing. This is how I guarantee the high EM rate.

Quintessences: Play these onto the Chimera for avoidance of annoying spells. (Congeal, congeal+shockwave combo, reverse time)

So that's the deck!

STRATEGY:

Almost all of my starting hands had 1-2 supernovas and 1-2 quantum pillars, and maybe a precog.
So play the quantum pillars, play the snovas, play the precogs as you get them. If you can, play creatures, but if they are weak health, hold them back or use BB on them.
Creatures you can play without worry: Archangel, Abyss Crawler.
Once you have the quantum for Chimera, play all your creatures. Hold these cards, don't play till you can Chimera: Rage Elixir, Quintessence, Liquid Shadow. USE BASILISK BLOOD ON CREATURES BEFORE PLAYING CHIMERA. If you don't, your Chimera will be stuck, unable to attack. :(
So now that you have several creatures out, BB'd, play Chimera. You should have a creature with at least +20 dmg, +40 hp. Now, Use these on it: Rage Elixir, Liquid Shadow. Once you've done that, Quintessence it.
Now, you should be healing quite well (My Chimera's are usually about 50|30 after rage potions) and just sit back and watch your opponent die.

NOTE: This is an AI3 / T50 deck. Playing against Half Bloods and False Gods is not recommended. PvP is risky. (so is t50)

well i tried it in the trainer on a top 50 and got spanked twice by the same hope deck. the chimera is nice with all the boosts etc. but it seems too slow? i was given 1 quantum tower 1 time.. and once i had to wait 3 turns to play anything and only because i had supernova finally.maybe up the quantum towers to 5? i like the idea though.
i just did 2 AI 3 in a row with now towers and 1 time no supernovas the other 2 but cant do anything but discard..

To be honest, that just sounds like bad draws, which happens every now and then, but I've never had it that bad :/ I did consider throwing in another quantum pillar and dropping a BB but couldn't decide, and it didn't seem to really affect it when I tried it (only tested a couple games tho.)

after adding 2 more QT to deck i beat the AI 3 pretty fast. :) i only used chimera with 2 creatures. the frog which was BB'd 2 times and a spider. i used rage potion, liquid shadow and quint on chimera. luckily he didnt freeze on an ice shield.

also, eternity really screws this over. i was stuck on AI3 drawing same stupid creature over and over because i had a couple out there. :\ maybe just a bad day for me .. i lost to bunch of FG today that yesterday i was destroying O_o

well a few more AI3 later.. ive lost all of them.. so.. 1/5? and 0/2 on top 50.. either u get really lucky or the deck hates me. either i have no quantum to play what i need or the opponents deck just kills me. eternity alone ruins everything. ive been forced to use BB on the opp. creatures just to stay alive.  idk  man . like the idea but getting everything consistently was not working for me.

The chimera has momentum, so it wont freeze from shields. However this deck does require quite a few specific cards so I could defniitely understand getting bad draws with it sometimes.

wow.. duh.. yea..  momentum. forgot for w/e reason.. the main problem i had testing this in trainer is bad draws over and over.. and not getting enough to play chimera when i had creatures out.. if i got them out they were killed or returned to deck. when i did get what i needed it did win.. but like i said that was 1 in 5..

i just see 1 problem, you said you can keep an archangel out to heal the chimera (but you put it in the chimera instead) then you say quint the chimera, so how can you heal it?  :o so I would say use something like lycantrope  ( 2 or 3 quanta instead of 7 for only a -1l-1 difference) or a steel golemn (-1l+2 dif for 2 less), or if you want just power you could do a graboid in there. you could also replace the elite wyrm instead, pretty much replace the high costing creatures for faster and similar stat creatures, it might take away the EM % a hair, but the turns to win will definitely increase

both of you seem to be on what i was thinking at one point b4 i was distracted. the angels were useless id have to say since as soon as i played chimera it was quinted.
i would def. go with the lower cost creatures with more of them .
