Hm , i see no one mentioned antimatter but it can be usefull.
I just tested it and it works pretty good :
Code: [Select]
4vc 4vc 4vl 4vn 4vn 4vn 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61q 61q 61q 61t 61t 61v 61v 61v 61v 61v 63a 63a 63a
I think this is a perfect deck for countering decks with heavy hitters ( like shriekers etc) . So I tested it, and I think it is pretty good, maybe with some minor tweaking would be even better.
I forgot about making some decks to counter heavy hitters!

Just an Antimatter idea.

Since I am the second-in-command, I am now able to use three upgraded cards, so we'll adjust accordingly.  I have no problem getting the cards I need, so don't worry about that.   :)

Purple nymphs are a gamble vs antimatters--you have to play the nymph and the next turn you get to use her.  That leaves her exposed to CC, fireshield and thorn carapace.  If you can antimatter and/or quint her to avoid those things, but that's 2-3 cards to get the ability to antimatter when the spell card is just 1.  She can be a real life saver, for sure, but you have to make sure you want her.

Add gravity pull to  :gravity if we're going with the voodoo doll deck.  It is VERY risky deck.  Requires 2 novas, 1 voodoo, 1 gravity pull, 1 basilisk blood in the first 7-8 turns.  But if the opponent doesn't have rewind or momentum, it's doable.

If anyone wants to help optimize it, please do (more dim shields for stall while setting up the dolls?)

Another deck consideration:  :aether/ :time with scarab swarm.  Please let me know any important tweaks ASAP.

Organizational thoughts:

1. Give the decks names--that way you can say "Dragoon1140 will take x" and "artagas will use y but -1 rewind +1 fractal"
2. We'll have to list the decks in one posting in this thread, so probably best to have this in the first one on this thread (that's you icb)--makes for easy reference.  As the War goes along, the cards we have will change but we can still refer to that same post for the original decks or you can alter it as we come up with new decks.  We will post the actual decks for each round in the "Round 1 decks" or "Round 2 decks", etc.  threads.

I'm torn on this one.  On the one hand, your version offers much more vault flexibility as we can get away with only pillars/pendula from :aether .  However, using novas to power devour means we have to be very selective about our appetite--and usually get 3 or less devours by game's end (if the AI3 offers any resemblance of PvP.)  That means most of our hitters are doing 2 damage, less if there's a shield up.  So we suffer with smaller hitters and less CC.  Also, I had problems getting out the scarab spam due to low :time stores.  This may not be a deck for the War given the vault constraints, but :time and  :aether do seem to have pretty good synergy.
