Dark/Aether AI3 grinder, looking for guidance.

[VayeDarkfire]

So I found this idea floating around the Wiki, and since I am an absolute fan of both the feature cards of the deck, decided to put a version together.  Now I only have non-upped cards for it atm, and I am using it to farm AI3 with much success.  My questions I throw at the mercy of the forums are, are there any glaring weaknesses I should shore up, and what cards should i upgrade first to make this deck more efficient?

Code: [Select]

5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5up 5up 5uq 5uq 5ut 5ut 5ut 5ut 5ut 5ut 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 622 622 622 622 622 622
This deck wins probably 90-95% of my AI3 games, I just wish for more SPEED, lol

Help me out if you can...

Just FYI, if you Adrenaline an Eclipsed Vampire (3/3) it attacks 4 times. Might be a little faster, since you have to accumulate the quanta for Adrenalines instead of Fractals, and you won't need so much Darkness quanta. You could incorporate things like Heals to increase EMs, or add Devourers to slow AI3s down. Dusk Mantle is one of the best shields in the game, and although you don't really need it in most AI3 matches, that too would help you on a good draw from the AI, and you'd have the quanta for it if you weren't spending it all on Minor Vamps.

Generally fractal/darkness decks start by fractaling Devourers for control and so you don't need to save up so many turns to play vampires. Upgraded, I think fractaling Devourers then Vampires is the way to go. But for unupgraded, I prefer Adrenaline in a Life/Darkness duo, myself.

The tradeoff is that killing one Andrenalined Vampire is like killing 4 played from a Fractal, so you will be more susceptible to CC. I personally think Adrenaline is the way to go, though, if you want lots of Vampirism.

You are a bit low on  quanta. Try adding more pillars or maybe add pendulums

Add devourers so that they can get you extra quanta while they shut down your opponent.

This looks a lot like one of my favorite decks:

Code: [Select]

5um 5um 5um 5um 5um 5um 5uo 5uq 5uq 5ur 5us 5us 5us 5ut 5ut 606 606 606 606 606 606 606 606 606 606 622 622 622 622 622Recommendations to this specific deck of yours would be to remove 1 Fractal (you don't need 6), change mark to Aether, remove 6 Aether Pillars and 2 Obsidian Pillars, and add 8 Darkness Pendulums and a Dusk Mantle. This to keep the deck intact, but still tweak it to higher consistency.
So something like this:

Code: [Select]

5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5uk 5uo 5up 5up 5uq 5uq 5ut 5ut 5ut 5ut 5ut 5ut 606 606 606 606 606 606 606 606 622 622 622 622 622Note that if you want speed than upgrading the deck will help, but Darkness is one of the slowest elements in the game. My recommendation on upgrading Nightfall => Pillars/Pendulums => Vampires => Rest

Main weakness is probably massive creature control, one Fire Storm and they will all be dead by one single card, again upgrading helps, since upgraded Vampires that benifit from Nightfall/Eclipse have 4 HP, enough to survive one Rain of Fire.

If you ever use this deck in pvp 1 u may getting completely screwed if some of your vamps get antimattered.
