I'm on board.  Not a lot of cards to choose from, this feels as good as any.  Thanks to everyone for the last minute discussions and Kuro for some quick test games.

K I'll lock this one in soon.


Kobisjeruk, did you want to change to EQ? there is enough sitting there for you to do so without issue.

Do we want to change 9270984 to fractal runners again, because the fractals are there and it worked vs wisel last time?

[Kael Hate]

927 you're likely to have an opening hand with 1 pillar, and could easily go 3-4 turns without drawing your 2nd.  That is way too slow.  Devourer ≠ pillar.

that is true but i tweaked it a bit.

5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5ul 5ul 5ul 5ul 5ul 5um 5um 5um 5um 5um 5um 5uo 5uo 5uo 5up 5up 5up 5uq 5uq 5us 5us 5us

Tweaked deck locked in

Kuroaitou, Lokiburn4, 3D House of Beef to go.

Ok, due to a shortage of Drain Life, you now get -1 Drain life +1 Obsidian Pillar. Updated in decks.

[kobisjeruk]

upon further testing, i've decided to go with -1 drain life
so my deck now is this :-

Code: [Select]

4vh 4vh 4vh 4vh 4vh 4vh 4vl 4vl 4vl 5uk 5um 5um 5um 5um 5um 5um 5uo 5up 5up 5us 606 606 606 606 606 606 606 606 606 606

whatever the finalized decks will be, i'll be copying decklist from the deck thread and not this one so even if this last minute edit wasnt updated, it will be fine
and i suggest everyone to do the same to avoid any faulty deck penalty

The variables in this matchup are giving me a headache.

Lol scratch my above, Locking this one in

This deck eats Earth quanta like cookies, sure you don't want any pendulums in this? It'll take forever before your mark fuels these cards.

[kobisjeruk]

agreed^
since we havent finalized everything yet, it would be best to go -5 obsidian pillars, +5 dark pendulums
and have everything converted into 12 dark pendulums (to offset the changes here)

well thats it folks, good luck and have fun

I'm going to say nay.
thats 23 turns of game for the required 18 quanta it seems ok for me unless he needs to up his gargoyles

The dark quanta is needed to snipe dragons, photons or player to stay in the game or get those gargoyles moving.

sorry for the uberquote but when i was duelling it did feel a little pillar heavy...

[kobisjeruk]

pillar heavy is better than pillar light especially when you're using bolt-like spells (drain life)
kuro can attest to that *wink*wink*

[TheCrazyMango]

pillar heavy is better than pillar light especially when you're using bolt-like spells (drain life)
kuro can attest to that *wink*wink*

true but if you have 2 drains and intended them as cc, they arent quite as helpful, but they still are good

You won, stop bitching.

I had to drop a drain life at the time to even make decks from salvage/stock, your's seemed to take the least loss from it, so it was dropped from your deck.
