Yeah. Bone wall really isn't needed. You already have 6 phase shields. You also don't need pendulums. Your mark can power all the poisons and arsenics. You might want more TUs, and replace teh animate weapons with TUs or towers. Flying arsenics aren't really that useful, and you can TU much stronger creatures.

Eh it seems like theres not enough time to collect enough death quanta and I do prefer to keep the poison stacking for its subject matter however to speed up the proccess I edited out Bone Wall for another TU. Also the pends do help get poison out much more quickly which helps a lot. Aether quanta still collects very consistently (usually end up with quite a bit).

Arsenics do 4 damage (increase by one per turn). It's way more likely your opponent would place down creatures with more than 5-6 attack (it would take a flying arsenic 2-3 turns to outdamage that). Additionally, if you're going flying arsenics, you're putting all your eggs in one basket. What if your opponent goes purify? Poof. All your poison counters gone. You could also try unupped poisons. They only cost 1 , so they're quite easy to get out, and they also have a higher damage/cost ratio than deadly poison.

"your putting all your eggs in one basket" Haha, if anythings gonna get me it'll be a classic idiom. Fair enough and you are right about more damage per quanta output and it would be easier to poison with just mark. However I think 3 arsenics would be too much, even if it is just for consistency. I'll throw in a revision, Thank You for your input.

[furballdn]

lol. Glad to help

EDIT: also wondering about your title. Why contagion? If I saw this, my idea for a title would be something like "A poisonous twin universe".

[strswords]

Lol, "Contagion" because I thought that the shields would keep the poison contained without affecting the user. However I haven't thought of a clever name for the revision  .

This deck looks quite balanced with a mix of offense and defense.  The only trouble I see is against PC of course, and deckout decks.  Is this deck made for AI3, Arena, or PVP?

It's probably more all-purpose. The poisons get past shields, while the user hides behinds phase shields and copies the opponent's powerful creatures for offense.

[strswords]

I've done a few spins in bronze arena, beat a good amount of half bloods, too slow(and costly) for AI3, this was a quick deck put together for simplistic fun but it has its effectivenessism. I often face mono-aether decks and see poison stall decks and see they have pretty good synergy.

[furballdn]

Yeah. Looks too slow and inefficient for AI3. Up against arena and H-Bs, you also get more powerful creatures to copy.

[burpcow]

Yea, it shouldn't be too bad against halfbloods.  Almost none of them have purifies, except for the water ones.
