Heres my take on a mono aether FG deck, it beats alot of gods even octane

Its weak against ferox due to just too much healing

-4 Towers, and +4 Recluses. This would help you with the low damage and quanta cost absorption.

^please don't follow this guy's horrible advice. phase recluses are absolutely useless vs fake gods and you are already quanta strained as it is so don't remove any of your towers

I've never tested this deck, but I have to agree with darkfrogger. Pure damage cards usually don't work against False Gods; in this case, Phase Recluses would be pretty useless. Quanta-wise, I think you're fine.

I don't know how this will do against False Gods. I imagine that it wouldn't be too great against those with permanent destruction, but it seems pretty decent against some other gods. Maybe I'll test it later; very nicely done regardless for making a solid mono- .

I do recommend a Electrocuter in the deck, making momentumed creatures easier to deal with, i also recommend it for the physalia vs Scorpio, or even vs DM's gravity nymph's, also good vs Destroying creatures of CL, and list goes on, id recommend getting rid of one dragon and one tower to make room for 2 electrocutor

It's not horrible, I tested it myself and it worked.

^^This. Electrocutor is key against many gods.

It looks like there's too much SoG in this deck for my opnion. A few SoGs are useful for EM and stuff like that, but six looks like a little bit overkill. I thinks it's much better off with some explosions or electrocutors.

Besides, if you are going to upgrade that whole deck, why not take a better FG-grinder? Mono-aether works relatively well against FGs for an unupgraded deck, but upgrading it won't improve it that much. It loses agains pernament control, upgraded or not.

Most of the cards in deck are staples, so if you've built certain other FG decks earlier, you've basically got everything but dragons and the last couple of towers for free. When I started collecting anti-FG lists for oracle spins I had a list with 20 or so cards upgraded that I'd use for a few of them, and lately I've been playing the deck just for the hell of it. It's actually quite pleasant after all the rainbows and Dune Scorps and weird combos, and the upgrades make a huge difference in the deck's consistency.

Here's what I'm running currently:

Obviously it should be fully upped if I ever decide to put that little bit of extra money into it (or need those cards for something else or win them from FG spins).

@Polari

I like your deck, very good in-fact, but maybe adding a reluce or 2 and then adding a fractal or 2 would be very effective in using all the un-needed quanta into good use and u would have like 10 reluce's and ur common 2 or 3 dragons down, its just a thought...

I know its suppose to be a 30 card deck but why not 35? xD

[Masterfurry]

Ok, just add 1 fractal and 2 Spider's, so you still get the same effect with the mono    but also you get the spiders to be used around LAST since you have a 2 out of 32 chance of getting it and 1 out of 30 chance of getting, then, a Fractal.
