Countering a modified Aether Mono

Man, all three of those are brutal. The quanta denial trick is amazing, and I have to say if I was playing against it, it would be difficult not to leave early if I couldn't get enough on the board before it spammed devourers.

I love the chimera deck! I like chimera already as a card. There's something cool about getting to the end of the game when suddenly a bizarre monstrosity comes out of nowhere and you can't stop him. Psion deck is great because it's fun listening to two dozen or so lightning sounds go off on your turn.

Glad you liked them And good job on all the work you put in, you were definitely on the right tracks. Forgot to say this in my first post.

Managed to turn 2 close games into wins for a perfect set of 10-0, but also managed to get 3 EMs thanks to those bonewalls and heals ^_^ (replacements for arsenic could be SoG, or SoSac) The arsenics really help though because they force the opponent to play their dim shields. You can outplay your opponent here and there by holding onto the first scorp and arsenic if your opponent went first and isn't playing many creatures (so you know they're holding onto them dims for when you play something) then play 2-3 scorps and arsenic.

Only played 1 game, but the level of success was just so great and already showed poison can be huge against mono aether. If you don't have eternity then you can use precog. Eternity+Procrastination+Sundials can be so devastating.
