the usage of the deck is fairly simple.

12 water towers  :          QI 5.3  (64/12)
6 abbyss crawlers :         your main source of damage
4 artic octopus                 this is a small source of damage but it's main goal is CC and stalling monsters by congealing them
2 shards of readiness :   use this on the artic octopus to get a costless instant freeze
3 congeal :                      sometimes you need this if you don't draw an artic squid right away or it gets destroyer
4 ice lances :                   can be used for CC but also for a big hit further to the end of a game
2 permafrost shields :     reducing damage while freezing creatures
2 poseidons :                  every 2 turns you can destroy your opponents quanta intake a bit giving him less chance in the long run

overall strategy :  play your towers (obviously) and get out an artic squid as soon as possible for early CC, don't play them out all at the same time if the opponent has CC (max 2 at the same time) play a shard of readiness on an octopus when possible. Then when you can, play your abyss crawler , shield and poseidon. once again when possible destroy your opponents pillars/towers/pendulum with your weapon to keep his quantum reserve as low as possible. freeze all your opponents creatures . usage of the ice lances can vary. It can be used to kill annoying enemy creatures (like scarab , otuygh, etc) or they can be saved to deal a massive punch further in the game. if you don't have an artic octupus in place you might want to use a congeal instead.

i tested this in the trainer and since this is a fully upgraded deck it never failed against AI3.  i also tested against T50 and won a fair amount of games. just don't expect EM

nice deck but i'd remove trident/mark of earth.
you have a mark of earth and only 2 poseidons...
if you draw one fast you won't have enough quanta and late you'll have to many earth quanta.

Also, it's a mono.

Just to clarify if you havent seen this before, the reason its a mono is because every card is a water card. The mark doesn't change whether a deck is a mono/duo/trio/quatro/rainbow. All that matters is the cards. So even though this deck uses water and earth its still technically a mono.

yeah i know the mark doesn't count for an extra element. but it tought that maybe the shards did guess they don't.
And i don't really see the harm in having some extra earth quanta... drawing a poseidon on the first turn doensn't happen often so you got almost always enough earth quanta to use the poseidons ability and destory some pillars/pendulums which can be quite annoying (unless they can draw three of their mark like FG's )

[TheIdioticIdiot]

shards are in the "other" section
so they can be counted as any element

[Tempic]

yeah i figured something like that, but it seems they don't do that
