DoSA - Fractal Retrovirus (FG grinder 1.26)

[zse]

When Soul Catcher was introduced to trainer I made the first version of this deck (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,16696.0.html). Then Fractal got minor nerf, and to compensate it I tweaked the deck a little bit. If you want to be one of the first using the next BIG game-breaking deck, here is the thing you've been waiting for:
DoSA v 1.1

I had time to test this for only 5 games so far: 2 wins, Graviton & Neptune, 3 losses, Divine Glory, Osiris & Scorpio. Looks promising, but much more testing is needed. Do note that this isn't probably the best build for this deck concept, but feel free to try it and tweak it fitting for your style.

More stats and better improved deck builds coming soon.
Stay tuned!
*edit*
It seems Towers and Mark is better than Pendulums with Mark. Having Lobo is also good for Pharaoh, Egg, Octopus, etc.

Really really funny deck 

Just its a little phat. Anyway, since you have that much death quanta, you should definitely add  +1-2 Ivory Dragon

[nhan1st]

Maybe -2 fractal. Aether quanta seems a bit too heavy. Other than that, seems like this deck has the potential to be the next RoL deck. Change 2 ivory dragon for a 2 condors. Fractal+ Retrovirus = Huge @ss bonewall + birds on steroid. I'm thinking of two 15/16 condors. Maybe also -2 lightnings and +2 boneyard.

Wanna test this out.

[twinsbuster]

the size may be a bit too big
-2 SoG
-2 Lighting
-1 Fractal


and aether quantum is too heavy to power fractal

[nhan1st]

This is my semi unuped version. works well on AI 3. Not sure if I'm willing to sell my RoL deck to make this yet.

The difference in an upped retro virus + soul catcher is huge. So I might think about it.

This deck easily gets triple-digits on quanta, so there is no reason on using Condor/Boneyard instead of Fractaled Dragons.

I thought that 7 Pendulums would be enough for Fractals, but I'm having problems getting that 9th soon enough. That Fractal nerf hit really bad for this quanta base: getting 2 pendulums start, as you often do, gives you slope of 1|4|5|8|9 . That is simply too slow, and because of it I might change to Mark with Towers. I was originally against that strategy, but maybe I just have to go for it.

Is it just me or it looks like a death version of rol/hope ? Looks nice to me though. Good job

WAY
WAAAAAAAAAAY too much death quanta
4 soul catchers is more than enough

you also need them from the beginning otherwise you won't generate the death quanta needed.

Not sure whether the first version had too much , but it didn't get enough . What do you think of the second version I just added?

[Nadrin]

me liek

[Rainmaker]

I like the concept BUT:

slim the deck down.
3~4 soul catcher are WAY enough.
Remove 2 pillars
Replace death pillars with pendulumbs
add 1 weapon
