This deck works great. The only upgraded cards I used were ones I already had, and there was no problem.
61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61t 61t 61u 61v 61v 61v 61v 61v 6rn 6rn 6rn 6rn 80d 80d 80d 80d 80e 80e
(Yes, I did forget to switch to aether mark.)

Even if I hadn't already been at full health (if he played momentum on the last turn or had Titan), I would've EM'ed anyway, as the Electrocuter landed the killing blow. That was just luck though, and isn't of real importance.
This would probably be fine with only shards upgraded. Dark Matter has no healing or shields (Armagios can be lobo'ed or damaged through) and doesn't have massive damage in early game, so it doesn't matter if your deck is a bit slow. He should die before you deck out anyway.
