Animation Fixation

[Solaris]

Fun topic. Here's my build + topic for a Animated Gavel deck, perhaps others looking to build one can draw some inspiration/ideas from it

[CactusKing]

Edit: Added two of ValFlames decks to the original post. Stats would be appreciated.

I like a lot of the decks posted in this thread to some extend, especially the cremation fahrenheit by ValerianFlame.
I used to play with a very similar deck for a while a few years ago, before I took my really long break.
I had to do some searching, but I found my variant of it, which is pretty much the same with only 30 cards.

I never quite got it to work the way I wanted it to...

Anyway, I think I want to play around with animate weapon decks again now....

Exarp that deck has 6 cremations and only 5 fodders, that might be the problem

Actually, I originally made that deck with only 5 cremations, and I felt like I just didn't draw them when I needed them.
They're for consistency more than to make it look nice.
If I weren't so against decks that aren't 30 cards, I'd add that 6th damselfly.
I also used phoenixes instead of the damselflies, but that was too unreliable.
So I kinda just... left it as it was.

EDIT:
I found another one I used to use. It's probably posted on the forum somewhere, but I can't find it.
Basically it's a animated weapon rainbow with bravery and freedom.

I like the Brave Free Weapons, but I'd suggest replacing the Electrocutor with a Pulvy. Just my opinion.

Yeah, that works fine too. The choice is pretty much CC vs PC. Pulvy does cost 1 more though, so that could slow you down a little.
Actually... why not just use both and take out one of the freedoms? 6 animates supports 7 weapons.
Anyway, none of the weapons in this deck are fixed, and it's all preference. Just have fun with it and use it the way you want.

EDIT: I just tested it, and now I realize why I wasnt using a pulvy. You might want to use poseidon, and that uses earth quanta too

[CactusKing]

Thank you @Exarp. Added to original post, +Rep

My bad, though you could use pulvy if you're going against a deck with less pillars and more actual permanents.

Here's another combo I always liked: vampiric daggers and druidic staves with epinaphrine, with some steals for PC.
As long as your opponent doesn't go nuts on CC, you'll probably win with EM.

I also tried to pair druidic staff with eternity/readiness for unlimited CC, but it feels a bit sluggish.
A gravity shield can stop this deck in it's tracks, and I had some pretty bad luck encountering these against AI4. It's a shame that time/life doesn't have PC.
I still want to share it with the community though.
