Mono Rush Decks

[Tavarich]

All decks bellow are unupped and have no rare cards.

They are all fast and work good to great against AI3, although it's almost impossible to get Elemental Master.

In most cases the 15 pillars can be divided into 7 pillars, 7 pendulums and a weapon.

Hope it helps some new players.

Sorry to say this, but these are not really the best decks for AI3, I would suggest decks from this topic

I never claimed they were the best, they are just mono rush decks without rares or upped cards.

By the way your link doesn't work.

[Chapuz]

  no shields? mindgate?
  you have quanta for dragons instead of fireflies. Even more shockwaves are better than those.
  Early devourers can be devastating.
  only 1 shield? Get at least 2 to have higher chance of getting them early.
  6 Adrenalines are a must for a life rush. Get frogs and scorps for the highest damage.
  fate eggs are wonky in a mono.
  Toadfish are expensive to use them without the skill, and a better mono water rush is Nympf Queen rush with 5/6 Tears.

  do you win consistently with those decks? Every single synergy can be used to grind well AI3, even in arround 7 TTW decks, and in this deck list there are almost none.
You know, most strategies combine different elements.

[Vangelios]

Not to make you sad, but      are reasonably playable
  think of putting 1 more titanium and gnomes. maybe hammer also.

[omegareaper7]

there is problems with all of these, they could all be faster.
  could use fractals if you wanted more speed.
  as chapuz said, dragons, you want dragons!
  dark could use gargoyles instead of vampires. stronger and doesn't cost much more.
  could drop a pillar for another poison.
  sword instead of the shield.
  abomination in place of the shield.
  could drop the shield for a fire lance, but this one is mostly okay as is.
  If memory servers, armagio+accel is the fastest unupped gravity can go.
  Only two adrenaline? Please, the basic adrena rush is faster.
  dragons > holy light, no contest.
  drop fate eggs for precogs. And as much as i like reverse times, can be dropped for more precogs.
  As chapuz said, use nymphs if your not going to use fishy's ability.

  mindgate was the only thing consistant, but they can be dropped for more attackers and shields
  I'v got nothing against the dragons.
  6 creature limit makes them secondary in mono darkness (at least in my opinion). I do use them in a darkness aether duo with fractals.
  can be done, but they are secondary. Also an entropy shield isn't much use if you aren't generating the quanta to fuel it and
get creatures out.
  almost any shield automaticly neutralizes the scorpions. Usually I use adrenaline on the frogs and mitosis on the cockatrices.
  I like Fate Egg, it can help a lot if it hatches into a powerful creature, it can also be useless if it doesn't, so yeah it's wonky but i like it.
  can change the mark to use the ability. Nymph Queen is rare, and I wanted to do it without any rares, I know Nymph's Tears would be the same but they're expensive.

I know most strategies combine elements and I do use those, but I wanted to do a mono deck compilation. And yes they do all work against AI3

Never said these were the best possible, they are just options.

  fractal drains your  quanta, so even if you fractal an entire hand u have to discard and wait a turn to put anything out.
  Vamps = healing (however little)
  I like shields (saved me more than once), but almost any card in any of these decks can be dropped and subtituted.
  Maybe it's faster, but Otyugh+Momentum+Gravity Shield is also quite effective.
  Dragons are stronger no question there, but Holy Light = healing
  already answered to Chapuz's post.
  How is Precognition better than reverse time? (nothing against it, I'm just curious). Fate Eggs can be quite useful, but can also be dropped.

Believe me when i say fractal doesn't bother aether rushes much. Blowing all quanta on one turn then dropping 3 creatures for the next two turns is hardly a bad thing.
2 healing doesn't matter to much, damage is preferred for rushes.
The gravity rush i had in mind also has otys, so not much loss there.
Holy light is a bad card to have in almost any decks, drawing ten more health is not as good as drawing a creature that will do double that damage in two turns.
life my comment is the same, needs more adrenaline still.
As for water, nymphs tears is a toss up. You could use it. Its really not much more expensive then toad fish. Not to mention, as long as you have the quanta and pillars, you pretty much double there damage each turn.
Precog is more for speed then reverse time. Either will work fine in the deck, but precog just has more to do with rushing.

I think almost any 6 dragons + 24 pillars outrushes your deck.
Are these rushes or just decks to grind AI3?

[ARTHANASIOS]

Just a note; guys, please stop saying the "What?! You play rush without Adrenaline?! Wtf?!" thing. Life doesn't need Adrenaline to rush hard. Adrenafrogs are as fragile as they are powerful and easily blockable by DR shields. There are other types of rush which are overall more reliable in PvP, though somewhat slower.

You know, mitofrogs are also easily blocked by DR shields.
