Ballsy Fractix

[Laxadarap]

Didn't really have any fire cards upgraded, but I really feel I oughta have cremation upped.  Upped it and didn't know what I wanted to put in it, so off to trainer!
Thinking that this may work decently in PvP2, its about the speed of a speedbow.

Only played 20 games, because I don't like wasting time in trainer.  Ended up with a 6.2 turn win rate (granted, only 20 games), with half of those 6 turn wins.  This proves to me that it is actually fairly consistent.  One of the games the ai played a procrastination on turn 3, and I still ended up with a 7 turn win.  I had 1 10 turn win due to RNG, and me messing up horribly.  Opening hand had 2 ball lightnings, 2 cremations, 2 fractals, and 2 aether towers (I lost coin toss).  Instead of fractalling BL's, I went ahead and cremated them, ended up drawing another 2 cremations, and would have had enough quanta to fractal 2 more BL's before I drew my first pheonix. 

Tips: Never cremate/play a ball lightning unless your about to clear your hand for a fractal
Fractal either balls or pheonixes whenever you have the quanta.
All fractals should be done with essentially a clear hand, nothing you really have to save.  If you can fractal Pheonixes, but you don't have enough quanta to play them, just go ahead and fractal the balls. 
Other than^ always fractal pheonixes over balls, unless you'll get a ko next turn.

Also, I really want to try and work silences in.  Experimented with a combo of only 4 pheonixes/BL, as well as 3 fractals.  Worked decently.  May have been a bit worse because at that point I was running an aether mark, for speedier fractals.  However, I didn't have enough fire quanta to effectively play all of the phoenixes.

Try less balls. Phoenixes make good immo fodder. Just revive them to do it again.

I have been cremating the MP's, however, with more balls, there is a much greater chance of pheonixes on first turn, also, multiple times I have had just a single phoenix on the field, with 8 aether quanta.  If you cremate a ball, you can fractal that turn.  However, I don't thinnk taking out 2 balls would hurt it too badly.  Not sure what to put in its place though.  PC would help, but it would slow it down.

Looks like a pretty solid duo. Do you ever feel the need for CC/PC or a shield at all with this deck?

Lost once to a dimm shield deck, but I also had a very slow start.  Does fine against procrastination, fog and dusk, just because of massive number. Fire shield would be a pain, but you could probably just fractal balls.  Skull shield might be pain, but havn't faced it yet.  CC wise, ai occasionally gets out a maxwell or scarab or two, but by then I have already fractaled, and it doesn't really help.  Ideally, and commonly, you get a fractal on turn 3.

You could probably fit an explosion or two in their pretty easily to counter dim shields, but it looks like its a really solid deck.
