Time is one of those elements that is never run by itself, and for a good reason too. It has the draw power, and some good cards. But it doesnt all work together to form a solid deck. But here I am, so this is what I think is the best Mono-Time deck you can make.


Pillars: 15
15 Time Factory

Creatures: 6
6 Devonian Dragon

Spells:9
3 Reverse Time
3 Golden Hourglass
3 Precognition

Weapons/Shields: 3
2 Procrastination
1 Eternity

Okay this deck is rather controversial. A lot of this is my personal opinions and stuff but stay with me here. First I would like to say that I am a believer in keeping decks at 30 cards, but in this case I had to make an exception. Because of the draw power I brought it up to 36 cards. Alrigh tnow for the section by section review.

The main idea of this is simple stall and draw your way to the big monsters and just simply beat them by attacking more since your opponent will be stalled by Procrastion, Reverse Time, etc.


Pillars:
I put in 15 time pillars, obvious, some people dont put in this many but, since the draw power requires a lot of Quantums you need it.

Creatures:
You may say wait a minute hes only running 6 creatures in a 36 card mono deck. Well yes I am. But with the draw power of time and cards like Procrastination, and Reverse Time I dont need to rush. I like Devion dragon because it has the 10 ATK and is really the main threat this deck has. Well, its the ONLY threat this deck has.

Spells:
Reverse time pretty much speaks for itself, it is so nice to clear a threat and clog up their next draw, while it only delays things a bit sometimes that turn is just enough for you to pull off the win, and whihc cards like shreiker which you likely got from a gabroid it forces them to use precious Quantum to play it again.

Some people play 6 Golden Hourglasses, I personally dont like this. While they can get you some nice draws, precognition, works instantly and viewing your opponents hand is just an added bonus. This is the deck right here in those two cards.


Finally on to the Weapons and SHields:
Procrastination is a shield that I have always believed to be one of the best in the game. Not only does it block every other attack, it puts them in a time bubble, which stopped effects and more. I had to stop my self from running 3. I just like it so much.

Eternity is just a solid 5 a turn and a nice effect you might use every once in a while.




What do you guys think?

-You can't use anubis's ability so it's pointless. Replace them with more dragons.
-You can't draw using sundial, and since you're trying to beat them down with dragons, it's also pointless.

For your 9 spells, I would lean more towards Reverse Time.  Unupgraded Hourglasses are very expensive, and I personally don't really like Precognition.  I like to think that I can usually guess what the other player has (if they're holding cards in their hand) and even if I knew exactly what they had it wouldn't make much difference.

yes but the reason i use precognition is this, hourglasses are the same cost per draw. And with 3 I think 6 is a bit overkill. Like I said seeing the hand is only a bonus. As for the cost thats why I run 15 time pillars.

Thing about reverse time is it only delays. Its not like your going to constantly use them. You pick your spots to use them to help get you an advantage.

If you don't want to see their hand, Precog in a deck over 30 cards is useless.  You could have just drawn the card you were going to away instead of Precognition and not had to pay for it at all.
