I'm surprised no one has put this up yet, but here it is, my version of a very speedy AI3 grinder. There are of course various modifications you can make, such as Wyrms, or EEs. However, this is my favorite version as the Dragons come out fast and hit very hard, and with just 2 out Sky Blitz will deal over 50 damage!

I suppose I'll give it a 50-games preliminary ttw test, and post the results here in a few days.

needs wryms, perhaps add in 2 or 3 of them. Also 1 shortbow should do just fine, two will just clog your hand. So my take on this is -1 shortbow -2 towers, +3 wryms since your relying just on dragons since flies don't help much a second attacker will defenitly help. Or maybe replace the flies with wryms since the new AI with dispose of them quickly.
Whenever you feel alone and nobody is there, you can't feel more alive.

It's rare that you draw both Bows in one game, and 7 damage for 2 quanta in insane to have, very much worth the extra card slot in my opinion. The Damselflies are actually just meant as CC-absorbers that also function as Pillars and do a very light amount of damage.

I've tried using Wyrm's and I honestly believe Dragons are better: You get some more damage, no additional quanta drain, as well as 7 hp, which is more than enough to ensure it doesn't die easily to the new elder's CC, compared to the Wyrm's lesser damage, upkeep cost to retain that lesser damage, tiny 3 hp that gets wiped out by pretty much anything, and what, 8 less static cost? maybe 4 tops, assuming you only Dive twice, and getting it out first turn (Not unlikely considering you have 16 Towers with my version) means you're probably going to have to Dive it 4-6 times, causing it to be more expensive than the Dragon, for zero benefit.

Just my take. You are of course free to experiment with Wyrms, it'll be interesting to see how the ttws compare.

I never said remove the dragons, i'm talking about exchanging the flies while keeping the dragons. Say 3 wryms and 6 dragons instead of 3 flies and 6 dragons, never dive the wryms, just put them on the field fast for 5 damage while stockpiling for dragons.

By the time you get both dragons and wryms out you'll have done enough damage for a sky blitz, i've found usually takes 1 dragon and 1 wrym + blitz = dead AI. I also run 17 towers tho just to get more towers out faster. Last thing do a pend/tower split to avoid EQ :) I like it tho.

I like it, I was thinking of something like that but with light too.  This my be the wrong thread, but it seems like pegasus and blessing could be good with it.  For an AI3 grinder anyway...

I've seen a similar deck in Top50, by essence. He plays wyrms instead of dragons. But its faster this way.

Ah... that make sense.

See Zanz? Wyrms are so UP that people are not using their abilities because they're too expensive in a mono-air.

Exchange the damsels for wings, you got more than enough towers as is, the tiny bit of damage the flies bring to the table is not worth losing because you were out rushed.  I only use 15 towers/pillars and never have issues.
