Yeah, Phase Recluses rock.  I actually thought about making an Arachnid theme deck at one point, and these guys were the centerpieces.  I imagine you're probably considering adding them in your speed blitzing Rainbow deck.  Just a thought, why not even out the number of dragons and recluses?  They're more vulnerable, but you can get them on the table twice as fast.

Ahhh... oops that's the wrong picture.  I'll fix it now.  That was another variant .  The actual one isn't like that.

Edit:  Fixed now.  That was the first variant I tried... I accidentally posted that picture.  This is the final variant I came up with.

Okay, this isn't the common Aether deck... you know the ones people hate?  This one actually works VERY well WITHOUT a phase shield.



Mark:


Okay, the strategy is simple and effective.  The Phase Recluse is such a wonderful little card.  It's a whopping 7 damage for only 4 Aether quantams.  Your dragons aren't even really necessary with these out, but the whole immortality thing does has its benefits.  Okay, now the Thunderbolts aren't for using on creatures unless you have to.  You can use them DIRECTLY on your opponent.  Now realize that even bone walls or phase shields don't block this.  So that's up to 30 damage that can't be blocked except by two shields that are RARELY ever used.  Even if they are used against you, you can still pound on your opponent's creatures.  Frankly, this deck would be my favorite if I didn't still have that nagging dislike of Aether.  It's VERY good.


Disclaimer:  Everyone's going to have a slightly different win %.  Don't bother coming to me after 1 game and saying you have a win % of 0.  Skillgannon is not responsible for your bad playing.  If you don't know how to think a little before you click a mouse, then just leave.

Nice deck! Removing the shields does seem to help with the strength of the deck. IMO, maybe -2 Thunderbolt and +2 Fractal? yeah fractal in mono-aether's a bit dumb but with that many towers, recluse could own the field XD

Note: if opponent plays Dimension Shield, it's an auto-quit? ><

I just dont seem to like lightning, but very nice deck, assuming it can kill ai3 and t50?
