UPDATE:
Well, ****. You guys didn't take any gravity shields -__-
Five of those would have made my game against aether as easy as taking candy from divine glory with a ray of light/fractal/hope deck.
I think this is my best bet: 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5oc 5of 5of 5of 5of 5of 5of 5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5up 5up 5up 5up 5up 5up
thoughts/suggestions?
@Valuka: I think I'd personally go with a firefly queen+hope deck, focused on getting the hop up with 4 damage protection as soon as possible, since he's most likely going to go for adrenaline+frogs/cockratices, which all have <5 attack. Outdamaging life is not only risky, but highly unlikely, since he'll have access to heals, staffs (one adrenalined flying staff and you're pretty much toast), and empathetic bonds. I wouldn't try to outdamage him. A spine carapace would work beautifully, since his creatures would all die in 1-2 turns. Add in some empathetic bonds and the rest as firefly queens/shockwaves and you should be good. Heal up any damage he gets in with bonds, kill his creatures with the shield and shockwaves, and firefly queen swarm for the kill. Sounds solid to me :\
