Rock, Paper, Scissors
A lot of people have deemed that war is like a game of "Rock Paper Scissors"; for this competition, create 3 decks that act in that same manner (each one beats another but loses to the third). The most reliable 'RPS decks' will be chosen by the public and used in a pvp tournament.

Rules!
-You must build three decks, Each countering one, and being countered by the other.
-You may only submit one set of decks, If you submit more then one you are disqualified.
-Provide explanation to how one deck counters the other deck within your submission entry. (in spoilers)
-Don't take screenshots of the deck! Please use the deck import code tool to show your decks.

Couple questions.

First, should the decks be competitive?

Second, are you allowed to edit your single entry after submission?

K edit:

These matchups will be 100% rock, paper, scissors. You could stack the decks however you like and the outcome won't change.

PSN bow (rock) crushes discord decks (scissors) with it's speed but gets wrapped up by the stall power of phase shield stalls (paper).  Phase shield stall (paper) surrounds and overwhelms PSN bows (rock) with their stall power but get cut up by discord (scissors).  Discord rush (scissors) gets crushed by the speed of PSN bow (rock) but cuts up the quanta phase shield stall (paper).

Would have loved to work in fire stall, but in a battle between Rainbow rush and fire stall, I don't know who'd win.  It's too up in the air.

This trio isn't perfect either.  Discord rush /can/ outspeed PSNbow on a bad hand, and PSNbow can beat down phase shield stalls if they don't draw shields, but I feel like all three of these decks are pretty common in the war.

Hope I got the formatting right... =/

Pretty simply R/P/S set up.

Rock relies on untargetable creatures for attack and Phase Shields for defense.
Scissors relies on mostly fast and strong damage while ignoring shields.
Paper deals with healing and medium speed damage.

Paper trumps Rock since Rock can't pull off any antimatter since Paper's creatures can't be targeted. But paper loses to Scissors since Paper's shields are useless against all the of Scissors' momentum creatures.

Scissors blows through Paper's Phase Shields. But loses bad to Rock since Rock will turn all of Scissors' damage into healing.

Rock scores against Scissors by antimattering all of his creatures while powering up Rock's own creatures with Chaos Power. But fails against Paper since Rock can't antimatter any creatures.

if you want, however keep in mind only the most effective will win the vote
2nd, yes, but after the times up and edits will mean disqualification.

After testing numerous combination, I have decided to showcase the best example of RPS meta-game in Elements using these 3 decks. First you have a typical fast Mono Earth rush as 'Rock', an orthodox Mono Air stall as 'Paper' and the deck that coined the term 'Charger' decks, Fractal-Charger as 'Scissors'.

Fast rush usually neglect defensive cards with zero or just a little bit of permanent/creature control thrown in to gain the upper hand in the short term. Stall on the other hand will do anything to stop this early rush while pecking away at the opponent little by little thus achieving total domination. Charger deck starts slow but once they get to a point or milestone, they will knock out the opponent before they can react.

Using the examples; Rock, as fast as it may be are unable to get past Wings in the Paper deck and thus rendering their tactic completely useless. Even though they manage to destroy some towers/pendulums, the cheap cost of Wings ensure that Rock wont be able to squeeze through for the kill. With all the might of Wings, unfortunately for the Paper deck, it does nothing to stop the power of momentumed creatures in Scissors. Furthermore, it takes 2 activation from Eagle's Eyes to take down 1 Elite Charger (or 1 activation of Unstable Gasses and 1 activation of Eagle's Eyes for each chargers on the field at the time). Scissors can cut through Paper because the inherent advantage of its creature and also the power of Fractal to create more copies of those creatures. But in order to take full advantage, it needs to build up enough quanta to do so and this is where Rock shine with its Quicksands and creatures with better damage output.
edit: changes to make it more PvP-friendly with War-like atmosphere (only using 6 upgraded cards in each deck)

Rock beats scissors because the 12 damage from an adrenaline momentum scorpion + the poison over time is most likely enough to kill scissors before it can get its real damage out and the heals will help it stall until that point is reached. Paper beats rock because purify, + lobo and ice shield will shut it down before it can make a big impact. And Scissors beats paper due to insane amounts of control and high damage.

Zomg... I just wet myself laughing at QuantumT's submisions. Simply hilarious. Although you would NEVER catch me playing one of those, he will get my vote for sure. That's the most simplistically creative answer you're gonna get.

Looks fine, except that traditionally, rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, and paper beats rock. You should probably switch those to the right places because otherwise it looks very confusing .

Counter setup: 
Rock focuses almost completely on creature spam; no permanents aside from towers are capable of being destroyed. 
Paper focuses on CC and relies heavily on Non-pillar permanents for support/dealing damage; killing off Fireflies in rock shuts it down completely.
Scissors focuses on permanent control while using Jade Shield for damage reduction while also blocking Fire Lance kills.
Rock beats scissors by deck-out if Fireflies don't kill scissors first.
Paper beats rock by damage spam + killing off Fireflies which power Hope
Scissors beats paper by destroying permanents and inflicting damage faster while also being able to survive longer than paper.
