I'm obsessed with trying to make a deck that utilizes iridium warden as some offensive creature control. I've tried fire (rage potions + plate armor) and light (blessings), none of the combinations actually are offensive enough to be competitive. I enjoyed this one the most cause the CC of gradually lowering the health with iridium warden combined with Otyughs seemed kind of fun. I threw in the shreikers to buff up the attack power a little more in the late game, but games are still tortuously long, and always close. Help please! Suggestions anything. Hey, even try an entirely different element with the wardens if you like. I just wanna use the wardens some how.

Shard of Patience works quite well with them if you have the shards.  The Harsh Land http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,38635.0.html deck by freez is quite good.  I think it would work fine unupped, although it helps to at least have the pendulums upgraded so you can get those first turn devourer/pests out.  Shard of Patience is nice because you can still use the wardens ability while the shard is upping their power.

Yeah, I've seen that deck before. No I don't have the shards unfortunately. The rage potions were interesting as they essentially gave me a spammable rage for 1 earth quanta, as compared to the 3 fire that were required, but it makes much more sense with the upped wardens, as the plate armor adds an extra step that can't be afforded.

On the OP deck I think it have too many pillars and too less  pillars inside.

-2 gravity pillars and if available: +2 Gnome Gemfinder (upped Gnome Riders) else use 2 Earth pillar

Second issue: too few damage dealers and no shield. Therefore in addition of the above:

-1 Warden and +1 Titanium Shield
-2 Othys and +2 Hematite Golems (a cheap 4/6 earth creature which is upped a 6/9 with only 4 cost.)
Switch mark to earth

The problem with wardens is that upgrades and rares give them so many more options and possibilities (i.e. chaos power, ragepots without buffs, SoP).

If you can afford upgrades, I've been using this deck pretty successfully as a pvp rush killer:

However, the problem with this (besides reverse time) is that you need the snovas, CPs and pendulums upped (and ideally the wardens and blessings as well) for it to be effective.

Anyhow, upgrades aside, if you do manage to get some shards of patience, they work very well in a life duo with mitosis and empathetic bonds.

Rares aside, you might want to try this:

It's been working pretty well for me, and it's remarkably stable for a trio. Use all your buffs on one warden (unless you suspect reverse time), killing all ground-dwellers with it, and use all extra wardens to delay enemy flyers. This means you can damage the enemy while you have the field locked down. Angels are for healing up your wardens and ragepots are some good extra CC if there are too many enemy flyers.

Those decks look VERY interesting. I intend to try it out, if not today, soon.

I think I once tried to make a deck with wardens too, but kinda failed. Anw since you posted, I decided to try again and came up with this.

Dont have much time now, so only tried a couple of games against AI3, and won them. Basically just try to bless the wardens and adrenaline them, web those airborne peeps. Pretty much damage in this deck, with adrena-wardens dealing 9 after guarding, shriekers etc.

This either needs more damage or more stalling potential. What's the point of a 30-card stall?
Making it a rainbow seems to be the right way to go. It gives a lot more CC options as well as damage potential.
