[Crowbarofjustice]

the ??? are all Psions
which are 4/4 aether creatures that deal spell damage.

mono aether psion deck
the idea was to get a deck that did not use Permanents but could still defend itself
i decided to depend on CC to defend and lighting was the best choice

the idea here was to create a lot of unblockable damage
of course, mirror shield and emerald shield completely kills this deck
those card are rarely played in pvp, i found it hard to put lightings in here so i just kept them out.

made an improvement in the 2nd deck
managed to put in some heavy CC wile still dealing a good amount of dmg
i also put in some dim shields
(even though i wanted to make a deck without permanents i realized i can't just go to pvp and not put this thing in here
it was desperately needed)

For the 2nd deck, you probably don't even need Pendulums, or maybe just 1 or 2. The Blessings don't need to be played quick, so you don't need the quanta fast. Also, if you have a Lobotomizer, I'd throw one of those in there to help get past reflective shields.

if i don't have pends then they will become worthless once the enemy plays discord or pests
two of the most popular cards in pvp1

Agreed on the pendulums.  Are you sure you can lobotomize psion's ability, though?  I've never tried it, so it might well work, but I wouldn't have expected it, since you can't lobo pest's devour, voodoo doll's damage sharing, airborne, and a few other things, and I thought this would've fit into the same category thematically.  Even if lobotomizer doesn't work that way, it's still handy for neutering nymphs, otyughs, and things like that.
