where it lost, 3 - 2, although I'm pretty sure that one win would be ours if the AI would hold rewinds for shriekers and string spirits rather than lycans which the AI can replay every turn. (depends on the hands draws and ect I guess, but yeah). Also, it plays novas without needing to, just baiting the BHs. (Their deck is very luck dependant too - 3 copies of cards won't always show up - and chaos seeds can be very meh.
The sanctuary deck would beat it with more ease I think, but auto win vs stalls without PC (has generally been their strategy so far - at least with their stalls that won) is awesome, and it stands a better chance against decks with PC - I think that this is the deck to run.
(If we win, make sure to thank team Time and 10 men)
OK, 1 damselfly. The problem is, we have just 2 OEs. 3 wont be enough to fly them, but might be enough for Crusader duoing.
is also difficult. I think the only other deck they might take (out of the ones we see) might be the bonewall/mummy/fractal/lightning. And I guess between antimatters, maxwells, pandemoniums and shockwaves we might be able to pull through. BE is an allright lobo, and we can antimatter maxwells to use BE on, despite the fact that that is completely ridiculous.
Unfortunately, due to vault issues, we only have 6 Wyrms, and 8 Dragons.
I've gone through and done a basic S/D to give us an idea (salvaging all cards needed for the rainbow/rt deck, 2 Novas, Blue Nymph, 1 Dragonfly and 2 OEs), and we are low on most things, such as Deflags (we have just two).
I dunno if its worth keeping the blue nymph again. Its a crowd pleaser, and we can put it with a mono air fire mark 2 deflags - but we might be better off even with a damsel (that way we have 2)
The deck I currently have vs
is just this-

32 cards might be too much, so I trimmed one antimatter, figuring it might be a dead card in some situations. Almost all the creatures used in their winning decks can be shockwaved to death
With the AI playing our deck, it beat aethers grabbow 3 - 2 , and as we all know after I've said it to death, AI sucks. Thats good news, the bad thing is that Higs most likely knows that, I'm pretty sure that Team Aether and co test a shitload more than we do ;P . The only thing in this deck that they might not know we have will be the BE, so we are definitely taking it.
Early discord beats devtal, and probably most of aethers decks though, which is why I do like this deck against them.
It lost 0 - 3 vs the mummy deck, even with 3 upgrades. The most entertaining thing that happened was pandemonium rewinding a mummy, and being discorded enough to make 2 scarabs (one of which was antimattered) and using a lighning on a dragon to weaken him for the kill right before the final blow.
But yeah, that was bad, and that makes me think that aether might use it. Wings might make a difference in making this game contestable, maybe. Early arsenics are a huge pain too :/
Against time, Blooms deck is looking pretty good to me - the only problem is that if we use the entropy deck, we won't have the 3 shockwaves to spare there. The only other option I can see would be the mono air (deflags w/ nymph). We have cards that would fit in this deck (1 fog, 1 pend, 1 vamp is my initial thought, but maybe even FW) so that shouldn't be a huge issue. I used the logic for aether, but many time creatures too are killed by shockwave, I dunno..
I guess this one needs testing too.
Even my pictures, as with my text, must be deciphered. Sorry about that.
We're low on pillars/pends, I just converted all the gravity cards (BH/Chargers) - we won't be matched up against UW again, and even then, theyll have Sanctuaries. Just say if this was a problem
