Alpha Otyugh[Gravity/Light]

I'm going to add 1x Gravity shield, 3x Blessing, and more pillars depending on feedback. My basic strategy is to try to get out an Otyugh as early as I can, then bless and use momentum on it. This first Otyugh is known as my 'Alpha'. It's the one that will get most of the blessings and momentum. If I can get a good hand, the Otyugh will be mostly invincible. If I get more Otyughs, and if there are no other creatures, I use them as sacrifices for the Alpha. The momentums really help if the opponent has Wings, Bone Walls, etc.

The things I really have problems with are with Aether elementals with immaterial creatures, Parallel universe to copy my Alpha, or Lobotomize to completely destroy the whole deck. There are also the burrowers, Mutations, Reverse time, and the CC spells like Lightning and ice bolt which damage my Alpha, making it less effective to devour with or kill it entirely. Though the  gravity shields are there to remove any massive threats like dragons.

If none of the above happens, I basically devour their deck, though I would like some help to take out some of the many flaws listed above.

1.) you should try to get the deck closer to 30 cards.
2.) you would be well served to use gravity pends here and scrap the light pillars and a few gravity pillars.
3.) 6 momentum is prolly overkill,  I'd run 6 blessing and maybe 2-3 momentum.
4.) I'd try to work in a second reliable damage source (titan would be ideal, but a sword would work as well)

Okay, some changes here and there (that Jmdt already said)

I'm still doing a little tweaking, but the version itself should do just fine.

Edit : I'm low on gravity quanta.. Maybe exchanging the pillars for light pillars and making the mark gravity would be the best. I'll do that in a while, if it works.

Edit 2 : I might be wrong, but this version now should be better, as it'll never lack quantum to eat. Also, I just recently noticed you had a shield in your first version - you can input that instead of one of the pendulums in any of the versions.

Thanks for the help. I'm not quite finished with the new version but so far it's working very well, though that might be because I haven't run into any major problems like Immortals or phase dragons, though I have run into quite a few Entropy elementals that love Chaos Seeding my Alpha, usually making it lose HP so that it can't devour much of anything any more until I can bless or momentum it or killing it, making me start over on another Alpha, with less Blessings and momentums. So I'd really like some help with the CC spells and the immaterial creatures.

holy light will restore the hp of your alpha if that is an issue.  An oty deck will not beat an immortal deck, it just won't.  Your best hope would be to add more normal damage and maybe gravity shield to help deal with this situation.  That would however also eat into the otyugh strategy, but its always good to have a backup plan.

Since it's a stall, Guardian Angels > Holy Light. You have tons of left over, so you can even add offence from that Element.

i've tryed some decks and i've liked a lot this:

I've finished making it go up to 30 cards. So far, it's working really well and I haven't run into any Aether or mass CC elementals.

[Dm]

Yay, I'm glad to see my ideas being used (light pendulums xD).


Also, you still have tons of light left out. Exchange 2 pillars for blessing, as without blessing the deck fails. A back up plan for mono aether is one of the two :

A major change to the deck in which we would add sapphire chargers, or

Photons + grav shield so you can grow your oty's even more and kill faster.

In either of the two, a change of 6 card - 6 card in the deck would be needed, so I wouldn't recommend it. Otherwise, aether is just kill.

So far I'm doing really well, though I just got destroyed by fractal devourers.  Well now have about 1400 Electrum and some money to spend so is there any way to improve, should I save it to upgrade cards, get started on another deck, or something I can do? If not, here's my next question, which rare weapon best complements this deck?

If you can get one, a miracle may work in this deck.

As for upgrades, I would usually go pendulums to make the deck run faster. However, you could also go one Oty to get him out as 0/5 instead of 0/3 and eat bigger creatures faster. But that would take some luck in drawing that one Oty. As for the weapon, probably Titan. Very strong and packed with momentum. Always fun.
