Shards of Control (requires purple nymph) https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=7442.msg81612#msg81612

Inspired by MrSexington's "Broken Shards (Entropy)" Deck.

So while looking at the before mentioned deck, I realized that the main benefits of SoR are:
-Paying for abilities for which you have no quanta
-Making expensive abilities much cheaper

So I decided to make a deck that uses both of those :D . I realized that you don't need supernovas to pay for mutant abilities. You just need a SoR. So without further ado...

Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
6rq 6rq 6rq 6rq 6ts 6ts 6ts 6ts 6ts 6ts 6ts 6ts 6ts 6ts 6ts 6tu 6tu 6tu 6tu 6tv 6tv 6u6 6u6 6u6 6u7 6u7 6u7 6u8 6u8 6ug 8pj

Alternate Versions:
-You could replace one of the butterflies with another tower.
-You could replace one antimatter with a discord.


No two games are alike, and I really like that about it. Usually, you get one of these:

Nymph -> (SoR)
Minor Abomination -> Butterfly -> (SoR)
Minor Abomination + Fallen Druid -> Mutant -> (SoR)
(Mutate Enemy to higher attack -> Antimatter)

Keep in mind that mutation is very good creature control when you're faced with nasty abilities ala otyugh. Another trick against something like a lobo is to play a micro abomination but don't butterfly it immediately; butterfly it the turn after so you can use the ability and destroy the lobo right away.

In all cases, the SoR is optional but very helpful. The damage output of the deck relies on mostly mutants and dragons. Ideally, if you were to play a match with this deck until deckout, you would have:
1: SoRd Nymph
1-2: SoRd Butterfly Abomination
1-2: SoRd Mutant

Also note that if you have all four abominations out, you can mutate all but one of your own druids. You should keep one for things like otys with nasty abilities.

From the T50 or by donating to the game.

As for the deck, it's pretty epic. Tons of control of all kinds. But it seemed pretty draw-oriented and inconsistent when I tried it in the trainer. I guess that's part of the appeal. ;)

It is a very fun deck to play, do very well against level 3 and against some of the decks of T-50. It can win against speeds rainbows. It weak point are Otys, if one oty early before you have in play a fallen druid is a automatic loss.

I can't wait for more SoR farms to pop up.
