Help with my Mono-Gravity Stall Deck? https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=55.msg612#msg612
« on: December 15, 2009, 10:09:29 pm »

The list is as follows:

11x Gravity Pillar Not sure if I need this many, but I always have enough quanta.
6x Armagio My deck's survival method, great against weenie.
2x Colossal Dragon Gives the deck more speed in the late-game.
3x Gravity Shield The solution for dragons, which are deadly otherwise. Also stops FFQ.
4x Otyugh Creature Control.
1x Hammer He wishes he were my second Titan.
1x Titan Often my main source of damage.
2x Gravity Pull This card is usually dead in my hand, but is occasionally useful for activating Armagio a turn early.

 On Level 3, this deck eats Pegasus, FFQ, and Boneyard decks for breakfast, and can generally scrape a close win against Time/Aether, but it dies against Light, Life, and other fattie/heal based decks.

Now, a few questions:
1. For a while, I included 6x Photons for cheap damage and in some cases Otyugh fodder, but took them out for the pulls, shields, and a second Colossal Dragon. Was that the better move?
2. Would it be better to add a second element? Right now, I'm considering Time (for Reverse Time and Golden Hourglass) or Death (for Plague effects and Vulture).
3. Is it worth upgrading this deck or an optimized version of it? If so, in what order?

 What your version of this deck would look like would be a big help, as well as any suggestions or comments. Thanks!

Going gravity/light would allow you to bless your armagio, doing more damage and giving him more shields, and using a guardian angel to heal him. momentum + blessed armagios can be annoying.

If I were you, I'd take out 1-2 Armagios and maybe an Oty too, and replace them with 1-2 chargers and a momentum for added ooomph.  A stall deck of only 30 cards can't really outwait most other decks.

You deck is really weak to momentum, ironically. Also, gravity shield doesn't stop half the dragons. Mono-time would have a field day with this, now that I think about it, since Devonian Dragons and Eternity are exactly the two things this deck does not want to see together.

Get used to using Gravity Pull for offense; if Dragons appear on the field, they'll wipe everything using Gravity Pull quickly and then half of them can get past your shield; even if they can't you're out of defense for weaker creatures. It would be very helpful if you added Momentums at the least to get your Otys to higher HP; they need to be able to cover the 5 HP dragons.

Dunno what you mean by "Gravity Shield stops FFQ" as credit for that goes to Otys; Fireflies only have 2 HP, and Otys eat Rustlers if it's that version of FFQ.

You should really add Chargers, as mentioned, because otherwise total defense shields will outlast you every time.

This deck is also really weak to the Procrastination and Ice shields, though they aren't particularly common.

I think he means that it'll stop the Firefly Queens from attacking, since they have 7 hp.

Well I would suggest adding Earth.  Armor and the Pulverizer have been trustworthy to me.  Here's a control deck series I made with Gravity/Earth: Heavy Metal (Gravity/Earth Control Deck Series) (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,15792.0.html).  They're upgraded but I may try finding unupgradeable versions for those that can be.

You necroposted a deck from the old forums. I don't even have a name for that in my language :o.

Please don't post on a post that's almost a year old. It was a thread that supposed to die anyway since this is not deck help section. Hopefully someone will lock this.
