Fractal + RV + Bone (Soul Catcher duo) - FG-grinder with Retrovirus !!!

[zse]

Good old Fractal+RoL+Hope in new version.
Deck is bit too fat, but likely there isn't really need for 5 finishing cards to fractal.

  = Soul Catcher

Testing still in process, duh...

6 wins in 13 games => 46% win rate (Paradox beaten twice)

FGs beaten

Original version used.V 1.01
I would have won sooner, but I played all Dragons while thinkin EP can't have 2 FireStorms in hand. Well I was wrong, it did have those... But then all I had to do was to wait until I drew the 2nd Dragon, Fractaling it ftw.V 1.01
This time I made sure that I didn't use any of the extra quanta multiple Soul Catchers now produces.V 1.01V 1.01
FGs lost to, even this can't win every time
Chaos Lord, Decay, Dream Catcher, Graviton, Fire Queen, Incarnate, Osiris

I think a bit too little Aether Quanta generation, I would take out Ivory drags, SoGs, Thunderbolts (Maybe) and +1 Condor +1 Bone wall +5 pends (around 5-8). Soul Catcher could work well with pandemoniums .

Moar awesomeness:

Also, I've been trying a Death Mark, Aether Tower version. Working great so far. Got down Paradox and Fire Queen.
And Neptune.

My idea of using mark with Pendulums was to reduce the number of Tower/Pendulum to minimum. Getting steady supply of usually gives first Retro-Fractal on turn 5, when you'll have enough to actually play many of them.

In case someone is thinking "Why Thunderbolt?" It's there in case of not getting Pendulums, but only Soul Catcher. Then you can burn one of your opponents creatures to gain . I could have used BallL, but that being 0-cost, can mess the initial hand 4% more often:
p(mulligan, 35 cards with 11 0-costs) = 5,15%
p(mulligan, 35 cards with 15 0-costs) = 1,15%

[xdude]

My version can usually pull it out on turn 3 or 4. What now?

[LongDono]

This is the greatest idea since sliced bread!
So now light and death can use the same idea sortof.... never thought I would say that!

[timtwins]

Without testing, I think the aether mark would be more effective because less prone to bad draws.  But I could obviously be wrong.

Even the mighty divine glory falls to this deck..... though I am not sure how often it will happen.

Even the mighty divine glory falls to this deck..... though I am not sure how often it will happen. 

It might be surprisingly easy match-up. At least as long as those Soul Catchers are in lower priority for Explosion than SoG and Pendulum. Maybe that part of AI-stupidity gets fixed before this card is in real game though.

[Nume]

Heh even though its counterintuitive since you cant kill his glories, i'm not too surprised it would be effective against DG since he often has 1-2 DGs and only generally gets 5-6 at most so your bone walls can be very effective combined with all the deaths you can generate yourself. Also, as of now pendulums are higher target priority than soul catchers and bone wall is higher than either so he isnt likely to destroy your quanta sources .
Edit: Ninja'd!

[LongDono]

I thought that too but sometimes things dont play out the way you thought they would. DG was a fairly tough match up.... though we each had insanely bad starts.
