this is a brilliantly versatile deck. i won in 6 turns when the enemy did 2 consecutive armagios and on another occasion i started out with only 2 towers. of course tis needs the pendulum split but otherwise this is pretty refined. have fun

Would it not be more consistant to drop the dragons and a pillar, and replace with 2 TUs and an immortal? That way you can't get stuck with a 14 cost card in your hand, that takes a few turns to play.

[killybob]

good thought. the dragon can be a problem but usually when i use it, it turns out to be a real asset. i might also consider putting a phase shield in there to spice things up a bit

also about the dragon, if i don't have enough to use it immediately then i just use the other cards in my hand.

Take out the immortals and dragons, add a TU, a pillar, and two fractals. In the midgame you'll have the quanta to get a few out of fractal.

Also, similar decks have been done several times. That's why you never see it around, because it's generally well known.

[killybob]

1 problem with fractal. drains your whole supply of quanta. besides the game is over so fast it's really quite useless doing that. try it out, it really works well!

surely the rush decks would at least be on this section. iv'e never seen another mono aether rush and have heard many people griping about how aether is too slow and expensive.

[ddevans96]

I did try it. Three months ago, and several times before. Fractals are a good finishing move if you're against a stall, and by that point you don't need the quanta.

And I'm talking about fractalling when your opponent has a stall up, and playing them when the stall lets up.

[killybob]

aah i see. well still this deck is purely what it is - a simple rush. fire can't stop a strong stall just as earth or any other element rush can't.

[killybob]

woah woah no need to get heated all of a sudden. i never implied that you were a noob. you'r a legendary member veteran after all. and i have in no way blown your idea off at all. im sure it works brilliantly but this is my own design and if i were to change it too much it would cease to be my own. besides i created this on the trainer and it's not a deck i use for my account. it's merely here to help other,less experienced members. also i seem to have read the title of this zone as mono decks not deck help. sorry if i ever caused any offence.

[ddevans96]

No, I should be apologizing for being so grumpy lately. I need to learn to take it on on a pillow instead of the internet

You're right, it's your deck and you don't have to change it at all.

[killybob]

it's ok.

thanks for all the suggestions though, they will definitely help me on future deck building. + karma for being really good natured
