Fractal Catapult Fodder [Gravity/Aether]

[ocelot]

Advice for this, it is pretty focused but i know it has hidden potential somewhere, it is alot like Air/Fire unstable gas decks.
This is how i like to play it:
  -Play all pillars, make sure i only play Armagios and wait for a fractal.
  -When you get fractal use it on Armagio and spam them.
  -Only use the gravity pull effect to protect yourself when you would die from damage next turn or reach near critical health.
  -Place catapults when you hit at least 8 gravity pillars or run out of Armagios to play.
  -start sacrificing Armagios in large numbers, i usually sacrifice low hp Amargios from almost dying with gravity pull or from heavy creature control first.

I like it.  A lot.

I don't have much in the way of constructive criticism.  I might be tempted to go +1 armagio, -1 catapult, which would help stall a little if you're not finding what you need.  Also I could see momentum being a problem; you could take a couple lobos to counter if you have them.

I didn't test it at all, but I'd imagine you could ease up on the rules of play a bit.  If I had a great draw against a weak opponent I might be tempted to gravpull my first armagio and see if I could EM.

Overall nice deck.

I tried it with +1 armagio beforehand but it didn't work well so i took it out to add an extra  pillar and fractal. I usually end up with 2/3 catapults by the time i start spiking so if i took one of them away i would not deal damage fast enough.

i am sure a lobo would help, there is sometimes extra  quanta before or after fractal that would make a lobo easy to play and use.

Maybe switch some of your pillars (both types) to grav pendulums?

It'd make it more earthquake resistant and less prone to only drawing one type of quanta.

[Higurashi]

Seeing as you're using more than , you could switch to Aether pendulums and Grav mark. You may also be able to put in 2-3 Dimensional Shields when you have a better quanta balance that way.

i like the sound of this, will post results as apposed to prior results.

okay i did a little tweaking and here is what i made.
i found that after i made higurashi's changed i was strangely drawing many less armagios than usual so i did the -1 catapult/+1 armagio thing mentioned earlier.
Dimentional shields became a useful stalling device to block large forces ammassed that could overcome 25 damage by a large margin, giving me more protection than just clicking gravity pull.
originally i was having  quanta problems when i made the changes higurashi detailed so i changed out about three additional  pillars and  pendulums into  pillars.
here are the stats i got;
Before
about 45% win rate against level 3 and 30% win rate against level 5
after 60% against level 3 and around 40% win against level 5
i reckon that this is the limit of making this deck better unless anybody else has additional input.

I took out a cata as I'd recommended and also swapped a couple pillars for pendulums for EQ protection and ended up with this:

This deck looks really nice, i like the idea alot.

Unfortunately im tired and i have to sleep, else i would try to tweak this deck.

I shall try tomorrow, my idea is to add some basalisk blood for additional dmg/stall depending on what you need.

Im still new... but that sounds pretty epic.

[WhiplashNinja]

So i ended up staying up just to try it out.

My stats were 5-2 against AI3, not the greatest i know and probably not something your going to do. But i enjoyed it, and i can picture myself using this PvP just for shits n giggles.  Someone could proly tweak my version into something better.
I never liked using more than two elements but this isnt too bad. And 36 cards are a bit much, but never the less thank you for inspiring me into this deck build. Good work on the original idea.

5-2 and 4-1 sound like much better results, maybe i am just unlucky with my hands, will try out your versions to see whether i can do better with one of them.

[killybob]

just a thought but what happens when you enemy has deflagrations at the
time that your catapults are out?
