Why pair Time with Water? Healing. Also, I need a Water deck I can use for PvP.
Wouldn't Life be better? Heals are temporary, do not eliminate poison, and bonds require mass creatures.

Strengths:
Poison decks - If you play PvP, it won't take long for your opponent to rage quit once he/she figures out you have a bunch of Purifies.
Rush decks - Epic stall is nice against these. Ice Lances can kill little critters in a pinch, too.
Other Stall decks - you can use Ice Lance to kill creatures so that opponent can't rewind them. (depends on the difficulty of the opponent, though) They can't rewind their quinted otyughs or such, either.
Mind Gate decks - oh boy, enjoy that photon. I mean, seriously, all they can get from this deck are hourglasses and such. Using Hourglass means you get to fly through your deck without your opponent getting your stuff - even if they get Eternity, they probably won't be able to pay for Eternity's Rewind upkeep. Then you laugh as you ice bolt the other player to death, as his water production is far inferior to yours.
A bunch of other decks that I can't lump in a group.
Only creature in this deck is Photon. The poor little guy - he'll suffer from Loneliness after the 5th game or so.

Weaknesses:
Bad hands. Seriously.
Early EQ's before you can PA.

I may or may not write a strategy guide. If you don't get how this deck works, perhaps this deck isn't for you yet.

You might want to change the title from [Deck out/RAEG QUIT deck] to [Deck out/Rage Quit deck] other than that, looks good.

Decks that make you think ftw.  If I wasn't so obsessed with speed I might give this deck a try, but sitting still for too long might cause hazardous effects on my body.

Hence the warning.

Well, the deck works as advertised.  And I've never killed someone with a series of icebolts before, so that part was fun.  But the fact that I wet my pants and bit my tongue from the seizures means I'll probably not play this deck again.    Nice idea.

A) Who did you use it against?
B) Ice Bolts are there for CC + last resort in the case of PA'd Eternity vs. PA'd Eternity matchups, you know. I have a Mono-Water Ice-Lancer which is more efficient at Ice Lancing than this deck, imo.

I tried it AI3 in the trainer (don't have upped pendula) and the first match was the perfect storm:    deck and the bastard drew an early anubis.  After that, every creature was quinted, so no opportunity to CC anything with ice lances.  Then, with 4-5 cards left, it started it's photon/Eternity rewind gig leaving me no choice but to wait for the quanta to ice lance it to death.

Hah, nice. This is like the worse AI3 grinder, though.

Yes, killing with Ice Lances is always fun. I remember experimenting in on Death members last War... 3 times on a row

+2 Lance, +1 Turtle Shield, +2 Time Pendulum. I'm not sure if this bulkier deck will be better in the long run. Since I have most of these cards upgraded (except for Purifies, Time Pendulums, PA, Ice Lances), I'm going to try this in PvP with a few extra Time Pendulums (since they aren't upped).

Screenshot of turn before opponent decks out (of course, beef had to be a spoil sport and save up some siphon lifes, but this is a good screenshot nonetheless):



Hmm...would a Mirror Shield help in this deck?

Hehe

Well Mirror Shield might be good, but only if you expect to be targeted by spells somewhere near the end: you don't want to get beaten by mere creatures because you just switched to a weaker shield.

Poor speedbow:



He blamed my Perma for his loss. (I Ice bolted his Charger in the beginning, then ice bolted other things just for the sake of it. That was fun)

Deck title changed!
