First recreational post! This is not my primary, but something I thought up and put together. A Fire Queen-ish strategy, hence the name.

Strategy: Fractal pests to lock down, then KO with either mass-eclipsed onslaught, or stall for insane dark quanta and drain-kill. Shards and phaseshields to stall at least until lockdown . I tried mindgates and protect artifacts, but the former slowed it too much, and the latter can't hold up on so few pillars (which, by the way, are pretty much a plague/rain of fire counters). Electrocutors to counter primarily momentum and creature control creatures, and the over-30 size to help stalling (decking out with this one is indeed an issue).

Strangely, I have yet to lose with this to lv.5, but only won once to FG. So, I suppose, esp. since perfects are pretty easy with this one, it's at least a decent farmer. Either way, a very fun deck to play. Thoughts/comments/suggestions?

Looks like a jade shield would completely shut down this deck.

Decay...
Nuff said.

You could take out the stone towers and replace them with gargoyles and use a mark of earth.

Well, elecs would still do 3, so if you lock down completely (creatures do less than 10 damage w/2 shards; you'll need to creature-waste drains, but that's not an issue if jade shield's down ), you just need to sit there and deck them, or slowly kill, if you can. But yes, I also saw the general reflect weakness also; nothing I could think of that could counter them.

And, indeed, decay. Actually, I didn't realize until after I built. Still, this is a bit more fun. And, in terms of gargoyles, I could see them failing due to draw-clutter. That, and if I got rid of dark mark, I'd need to put in dark towers... Besides, this deck could be thought of as a usable player version of Decay... T-T

Whoops. I thought you had dark towers. >.<

But in theory, dark towers should be better so your SLs can be more effective.
