HBs, 50% Win rate, 9 TTW
It's terrible against FGs, lol.
This is a pretty unique deck concept, I think. I overdrive the Titans and then use the crusaders to copy their ability and damage, effectively PUing your overdrived titan. It's insanely fast. When it works. The problem is I don't know how to balance the pillars or pendulums and get my draws better, sicne this deck is pretty prone to bad draws. Try it out against an HB in trainer though, it got a 7 turn win on my second try, but the try before it I got a crap hand and pretty much lost from the start.



It's a lot of fun but I really need help touching it up.

First of all I would reduce the size of the deck. You don't really need that many Titans, Crusaders, and Overdrives to achieve the desired effect. Also, smaller decks tend to have more stable draws (if the Quanta Index is balanced of course). A Pendulum counts as a half-tower, so, with 8 Pendulums in the deck (2 are unupped, as I am too frugal to spend my hard earned Electrum on more quanta sources just yet, and I did not want to boot up the Trainer), you basically have 4 Light Towers in the deck. A Mark counts as 2 Towers, so that's 6. Then the 4 Gravity Towers to back up the heavy  :gravity use.

EDIT: Lol just noticed you also have a 30 card version. Using Towers or Pendulums don't matter that much, but I prefer Pendulums because with Towers it is possible to have really weird draws where you get Towers of one element and not the other. Good quanta balancing there. We have the exact amount of  :light quanta (6) because of the Towers and the Mark.

Thanks for the quick reply. Also thanks for the QI example, as I was always wondering what a mark counted as.

I'm currently testing in trainer the TTW and win% of AI3, HB, and FG. It'll be a small example (10 games of each) but will show its current state.

I never knew that endowing an overdriven titan copies overdrive too. I like the innovative idea and the deck works pretty well

Well we learn something new everyday don't we? X)

I know Crusaders can Endow the Vampire Dagger, but what about other weapons that has Vampire as an ability (obviously you need to cast Liquid Shadow on it). I just want to confirm this, because I've tried the Overdrive ability (yes it works) but not Vampire ability.

This is a really cool deck + idea. For the 30 card one, i'd change 4 gravity towers to pendulums. That's all.
It is the greatest mystery of all...
