Water-Air

A completely new idea I got after I was thinking how to abuse the shockwave + freeze combo.

The deck:

It is a really slow starting deck, but because of all the creature control it doesn't really matter.

It works extremely well, you can use shockwave to kill creatures, no matter their strength when you have a squid or freeze, or when the have frozen themselves against your shield.
If you don't have shockwaves you can freeze them and wait until the toadfishes have killed it slowly.

Make sure to get a shield as early as possible, so you buy time to set up. When you have a squid out, hold the other in your hand, in case he gets killed by rain of fire or other area effect spells.

When you have 2 or 3 toadfishes out, get some ice dragons to speed it all up, because you don't have that much air to run more than 3 toadfishes together.

Next things to upgrade are pillars, the dragons and the shockwaves, the other things are not necessary (and the toadfishes shouldn't be upgraded at all).

The main downside of this deck are immaterial creatures, because it relies highly on creature control, and some permanents because it lacks of permanent control (like steal, pulverizer, eternity and owls eye).

Have fun with it while you simply make all your opponent creatures useless and kill him off slowly.

Only 1 wind pillar? (Yes there is one, look close)

Add atleast 4-5, IMO.

[Glitch]

Why?  Your mark takes card of any air quanta needed.

[the dictator]

Yes, one wind pillar is enough, so you have more wind when you come to the end of the battle, when you have more toadfishes out.

[Tea is good]

What I hate about these Water-air decks is the fact that shockwave can only be used on six creatures. Wish Zanz made a creature that could spam shockwaves (like a squid perhaps? for 3 air quanta). *hint, hint hint hint*

[the dictator]

Yes, that would be nice, but I think it would be to OP, because shockwave can kill instantly, which is really easy with my deck, because of all the ways to freeze creatures, so a shockwave creature would be OP, imagine a combo between that creature and an arctic squid.

And, with water air you can also use toadfishes, so you can freeze creatures and poison them, and watch how they slowly die.

Wish Zanz made a creature that could spam shockwaves (like a squid perhaps? for 3 air quanta). *hint, hint hint hint*

Then you'd be able to make a really cheap anti FG by just quinting pairs of that creature and octopi 
Have even crazier ideas though how about a shield that has a 20% chance of sending out a shockwave to any creature attacking it?

[00MaYk00]

Why did you put 1 wind pilar? Upped shockwaves cost just 1 air quanta, so I think there are no pilars required

[the dictator]

For 2 reasons, I have no upgraded shockwaves  and the air also runs the toadfishes, and with the windpillar out you can run 2 toadfishes. I almost always get it, because this deck comes always close to decking out.
