Title: Lightning Storm (new card)
Post by: PuppyChow on March 13, 2010, 11:22:15 pm
NEW CARD (in trainer): Fractal (8 aether upped, drains all aether): Fill your hand with a copy of the target creature.

 But Right now it may be OP and Zanz is considering making the unupped version cost less (or 6) and only give X amount of copies with the upgraded version costing more than it does now.this deck will still probably work as long as fractal is upped. Just maybe not as fast.

:O When did this card get here?

At any rate, I APPROVE. :) This deck seems epic powerful, giving Aether a little more awesomeness to its already burgeoning epicness. :) Time to go test this deck.

Fractal + devourers, could work, and be incredibly unfair, be impossible to play unless it is later at the game.

Holy... crap... This card is way OP in its original form. The deck PuppyChow setup burns through T50's like butter. Once you get the hang of this deck (and it's not hard) you pretty much crush. Might work against FG's too if you add some shields.

(EDIT: While still viable, this deck doesn't have the surprise factor anymore since you can only do one batch of lightnings per turn)


By taking out the phase recluses, you can get this kind of screeny :D.

Real fun stuff, which brings us to yet another version (haven't screenied yet):

12x Aether Tower
6x Fractal
6x Ball Lightning
6x Phase Shield

Stall with shields until you can fill your side up with ball lightnings in a single turn. Then unleash hell.

"Oh, hey, awesomegamer9."

"Hey."

"I put a farm deck just for you."

"Gee, thanks." (Sees Aether Pillars, plays Crimson Drags and whatnot)

"Take it a little slower." (Plays Phase Shields)

"Meh, fine. What do you have for me, anyways?"

"Shards and stuff."

"Cool. I got to afk for 30 seconds, be back."

(Opponent plays Fractals and Ball Lightnings. Guy comes back. Sees that he lost.)

"WHAT THE F***"


You gotta love this deck. :) If the Fractal comes into the game in this form, this is the new deck for EVERYTHING.

Further balancing: Drains all aether quanta. Seems fine to me, now.

I laughed at that. It made my day.

Back on topic. My opinion of the Fractal is that it will become used in all aether decks because this card is just tooo good.

Not all Aether decks. Phase Shield + Phase Dragon will never die, and decks with totally untargetable creatures would not carry Fractals. Spark and maybe Phase Recluse decks would greatly benefit from Fractal, though.

well, it would kinda suck having to discard 1  recluse and than wait 1 turn for the full effect.

Why not try this with Upped Horned Toads. It doesn't matter if Fractal drains all aether quanta, because Toads are life, and they only cost  :life :life for 5/3. Wait a sec, they are like Ball lightnings, they just cost more and have hp.

The idea has already been developed: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,3949.0.html

It's an awesome deck.
