Dark/Aether Fratcal deck

[Terroking]

Deck that abuses Fractal+Pests, it works incredibly well, althought Zanz said he'd nerf fractal in the future, it's much to powerful with pests.

My version of the same concept. Long story short: Siphon big creatures if you need to, and then siphon them to death. It is completely possible to get 300+ dark quanta with it.


Mark is AETHER (or Dark. Not sure which is better atm)

Yep. I tried this. This deck is literally the best deck you can possibly make in the trainer. Fractal rocks.

I tried a siphon life version but found that I missed to many possible pests holding them in hand.

Yeah. In that screeny, I had discarded about 4 pests.

Hey zanz, to make fractal even more OP, can you extend the number of creature slots to 30? kthx .

Also, you'd never get that much darkness unless it was vs. a rainbow deck, which this was

In that case you'd have them locked down and not playing anything, and you still save up more than enough since every pillar they've played is basically yours. (ie, they have 10 aether pillars, you're getting 10 dark/turn).

Against mono-decks this deck is much stronger. Rainbow can actually outrace your quanta denial even if you have up 10-12 pests up.

[icybraker]

Which is why you fill your deck up to 23 Devourers, which you can do pretty quickly. Nothing under 7 Quantum Towers is going to mess with that. Combine with Drain Lifes, and you win forev.

WTF?! I just noticed about the new cards... XD

OK, Fractal is way overpowered. This deck exactly demonstrates why. It's basically infinite PU.

Add one or two eclipses into puppy's deck on above to make pests move evil =]

I had this idea right from the start
I have a devourer deck that works very well but it only did well early on.
It had 6 steals and 6 devourers to immediately control the opponent's quantum input.
Late game was different because the opponent usually had time to build their supply up and i was limited to stealing the max 6 pillars/towers and at max 6 devourers sucking up 6 quantum, not much.  Fractal changes all that by giving you a VERY strong mid to late game quantum control.

here is the deck mark is aether

  This deck is about TIMING and manipulating the odds so you can predict and will get certain cards at certain times.
I think it can be agreed upon that even without fractal, the early game can be VERY annoying for opponents and very successful for you.  So getting and casting fractal early should not be the goal.  The goal is to use a combination of steals and devourers to control the game early.  Any threats that arise will then be dispatched with thunderbolt.
6 pest
3 steals
4 thunderbolt
thats 13 cheap cards that can be used early to control.
I would have added more steals but i wanted to keep deck at 30.
there are 7 obsidian towers so getting one in your first hand is HIGHLY likely.
4 aether towers means you will get one by at least card 12/13 (thats 5 turns after opening hand) which is the perfect time to use fractal when you have stored enough dark quantum to drop a bunch of pest.  It is pointless to get fractal early when you cant use it, it is a wasted draw then. 

Using my titan deck as reference, i find that in a deck of 30 cards, if you have four of a card, the odds are VERY high that you will draw at least 1 by turn 5 (12/13 cards in which translates to 18 cards left in deck)  I find that to be the perfect time to use fractal.

This deck is currently 9-0 vs lvl 5s (even though they get X3 quantum).  thats 100% so far.  I dont try or care about lvl 3s  8)
I cant wait to try this pvp.  It will be evil.

Notice what turn it is and how COMPLETE deck control is already established.  Game over.  Even if i didnt get eclipse early, it is still game.
