That first card is an un-upgraded Shard of Readiness. Not sure why the whole thing doesn't show up.

I have this deck-in-progress that I'm working on trying to upgrade. I may change it a bit by the time I'm done with it, but overall, I'm pretty content. My main problem, however, seems to be those crazy decks with marks that acctually USE cards (unbelievable, I know). Momentum is a huge problem for me -- and I don't just mean the card. I'm mainly concerned with cards that have Momentum ability; specifically Titan. Sure, other weapons can be scary but none quite so much as this.

Is there any EASY way to counter this? I'm most concerned about a way that doesn't require me adding another element. I'm already using 3. That's plenty. Can anyone think of a a solution?

Well you have lots of control already; you should be able to omnom momentum creatures or stall with RT until you can. But if that's not enough you could use Gravity Pull.

Plague could also help make them small enough to eat.

Gravity pull doesn't do anything against momentum
I my take out chimera and add a few heavy armor to make the scarabs go nom nom asap.

You can put Gravity pull on creatures with Momentum. I guess that's what he meant.

[Contrary]

Yeah that's what I meant. Lobotomy is the only thing that specifically will counter momentum. But other CC will stop he whole creature, which is just as good. Between Death, Time, and Gravity, Plague and Gravity Pull are your best options.

I don't think Plate Armour will work considering that its Earth.

You can put Gravity pull on creatures with Momentum. I guess that's what he meant.

Creatures with Momentum deal damage directly to a player and bypass Gravity Pull itself in addition to shields.

If you gravity pull the monster WITH momentum, your creatures can kill it.

Sapphire Chargers only have an attack of 4, and can at least eventually be nomnomed. They can also be controlled with RT to an extent. Other creatures with Momentum are easily canceled by RT. I'm mainly concerned about Titan, but I guess every deck has a weakness?

[Manipul8r]

There are only 4 hard counters to Titan - Deflagration, Steal, Butterfly Effect, and Pulverizer.  You'll just have to win before the Titan kills you I guess.

If you gravity pull the monster WITH momentum, your creatures can kill it.

Yeah I totally misunderstood.
