@Laxadarp, haven you thought in 6 virus + 6 ball o' light?

[Laxadarap]

Don't think their would be enough quanta, specifically aether quanta.  Are you saying take out Fractal? For the first deck, it has no defense, so I feel like the loss of damage from BL, as well as very effective death quanta, will hurt it as it slows down.

@Laxadarp

Here's one of the versions I was trying out:

BL for instant and damage. Virus for CC and more . I sometimes seem low on so maybe -1 Virus +1 Tower.

And here with SoFree:

I haven't tested this much yet, so I can't tell how it's doing. But so far it's similar to the one above (due to similarity? xP)

I never considered fractal. It seemed too expensive if also TU has to be played. In your first version, weren't you tight on ?
I also gotta try the second one. It seems hard to believe that with just 5 Lightnings you were able to afford all those cards ^^
Did you TU the dragons or enemy creatures as well? However, I'll edit this post after some testing

Thanks a lot for your ideas!

[Laxadarap]

First deck, it is pretty expensive, you usually get a fractal BL, play a dragon or 2, then get a PU in the turn you win, or the turn before. 

As for the second deck, thats why there are pends, no way to run it on only the soulcatchers.  Good thing about that, is that bonebolt is an extremely good defense, meaning its ok if it takes you 3 turns to set it up.  1 catcher, +1 bolt kill = a 3rd turn bonewall.  Then you just wait and kill stuff.  PU whatever you want, as long as your making good use out of it.  One of the games, I ended up PUing steamies.

guess who's also back 

was hoping for a new game patch when i got back, wich unfortunately did not happen, but hey let's see if we can still get some good ideas and post them here! 

@Gandora, can you post a prototype of the deck, just as a guideline for the rest of us? wanted to see how you balanced things out

Hi everyone.

Just wanted to tell you that I'm over with my exams and have three weeks of freedom now
So yeah, I'll have more time to spend in the forums from now on (as some may have noticed).

I hope you're all still doing well and that we can come up with some new cool decks from time to time

Oh, about new decks. I'm currently trying to build a deck with Soul Catchers, Ivory Dragons and Twin Universe.
If possible with SoFree. But up to now I wasn't satisfied with my results.
So if anyone of the engineers (or not) is interested to give it a try, I'd be pleased to see what you came up with

Sincerely, Gandora

OOOOOOHHH YEAH!!! Now I could give myself a reason to continue playing elements...
As for Gandora's deck, why would you split the quanta and TU instead of focusing on 's soul catcher combo?

[furballdn]

Wouldn't really recommend SoFre. SoFre is only really good for shield bypass or for mass spam of fliers. For just TU dragon (and not even a rainbow), I think SoFre wouldn't be as much benefit to you as using those 3 card slots for other cards.

No bone walls, Gandora?

As for the second deck, thats why there are pends, oops, I overlooked that. It was early in the morning :-P no way to run it on only the soulcatchers.  Good thing about that, is that bonebolt is an extremely good defense, meaning its ok if it takes you 3 turns to set it up.  1 catcher, +1 bolt kill = a 3rd turn bonewall.  Then you just wait and kill stuff.  PU whatever you want, as long as your making good use out of it.  One of the games, I ended up PUing steamies.

I tried tried your versions. I liked your second version better since it offers attack and defense. Thanks a lot for the deck!
My next project is a Flesh Recluse Fractal, also with SC ^^

Sounds reasonable. In fact they were meant for shield bypass. But they rarely were of use. What would you use instead?

No bone walls, Gandora?

Maybe I could use my second version and replace SoFree for Bonewalls and replace Virus with Lightning?

[Chapuz]

@Gandora
With 6 sparks ,6 virus and 6 unupped SC I could summon some dragons. You can tweak this with some  generation and PUs.

It has very poor quanta balance, but still, give it a try.
The idea is to generate just enough and play bone dragon, then TU.
Thunderbolt is the better CC here, but I couldn't properly balance it.

This thread is locked because of lack of activity. Apologize to all.

A bit info about Engineer's Workshop:
It was originally designed as a thread to quickfix any deck needs fixing, group-style, but apparently such thing is not needed. When the activity declined, we decided to make a challenge thread instead, known as The Weekly Challenge to stimulate creativity. It did influence the community, though small, as evidenced by the few challenge threads other than that one. When the activity there declined too, we decided to lock it and leave the challenge threads to the community.
