Yeah, all of them besides Rustler (Which doesn't work due to needing either life pillars and a light mark of RoL/Light pillars) and Cremate are much too slow, it's like playing with 6 towers in your deck.

To people, I did have an unfair advantage. The simple fact that other people were resticted to mono made shrieker rush the fastest deck, QS sent everything sprawling due to no PAs allowed for anyone else, and I can make shields obsolete. Although, I'm not sure how it would have turned out if Blood/Kami had made it past the first round. Devourers=Death. Cremates=Too fast (Although you can't use rays, so you get a 1 turn delay with your brimstones.

Also, the fact that I could burrow creatures makes control less effective, up to the point when Puppy didn't even use any.

Face it, Earth has the protection monopoly, as well as the offensive monopoly. Now all we need is a spell to burrow things...
I ask nothing of humanity but fairness in all things, but I do not expect even that.

Devourers = death? I'm not sure about that... It depends on who could deny the fastest. Quicksand wipes out 3 pillars in a single turn, and I can't use upgraded Towers, so I think Terro could probably deny me before I can deny him.

Rustler could work without Mark of Light: unupped FFQ...
Doh. Mono decks only.
To be or not to be, I can do both at once. Go learn quantum mechanics, n00b.

Yup. The biggest reason devs would kill me is that I need the Time/Gravity quanta from my mark, which devs will deny me. I can't really stop them from getting out, and I can't get rid on them without the quanta they take away...

Seeding the next one of these randomly will also make it better.

Well, the only creature control Earth has is Basilisk Blood... Hmm, I guess it's luck dependent. I can't control what elemental quanta my Devourers deny, so it's all a matter of luck.

Yeah, choosing matchups randomly would be MUCH better. With the new Holy Flash dealing 10 (!) damage for FREE (!!!), I've got NO CHANCE against Xdude. However, against some other elements like Aether, I can just steal his shields...

You may not be able to choose, but devourers always seem to devour my one time quanta in my shrieker rush when i have a grabiod out.

Unless I missed something xdude and PuppyChow never fought that last match which means 6 points for both of them.
