The main sense is to trample the opponent down with Overdrived  Elite Charger while deny him with the shards and the Elite Otyughs.

Supplement are the Steel Golems in combination with Overdrive as well. The heavy armor is to beef the Elite Otyughs  to feed more healty creatures of the opponent or the overcharged Elite Chargers for additional rounds.
The Overdrive can also be used an a pumped Shard.

One interesting aspect is if the shards are gravity pulled they can destroy more cards. The Gnome Gemfinders are small additional damage and  quanta generator for the Golems and the Heavy armor.

Before I had 2 earthquake instead of 2 Shards of Focus but the shards are more flexible.

If necessary I can add 2 furher Shards of Focus to the deck.

The deck needs more quanta. 10 sources excluding mark are not enough for a gravity deck to stand a chance against other upped decks. You are prone to being rushed like that, seeing as you won't be getting anything out until turn 2 at least, probably 3 a good amount of the time.

Overdrive doesn't really fit in the deck, you aren't rushing, and none of your creatures are big enough. Upped otys don't need heavy armor to eat the majority of creatures. And the single shard of integrity isn't going to be doing much, remove it.

It is planned to upgrade the 2 earth penduli.

I'd remove all cards, Titan and one SoFo. In total - 8 cards.
Then + 3 towers, + 3 Gravity Pull, + 1 Overdrive/Acceleration.

Shield + Otyugh more or less give a mutual exclusion of what can attack you, so isn't needed.

I did modified my deck:

55k 55p 55t 55t 576 576 744 744 744 744 745 745 745 745 745 745 749 74b 74b 74i 74i 752 752 752 752 752 75m 75m 75m 75m 8pl

There are still some cards in need of being upgraded. The accelerate/overdrives are not so much in use. Therefore I replaced one with with a second gravity shield. I'm thinking around to add a third (Elite) Otyugh.

Still needs more pillars. 10 isn't enough for a gravity deck to get out fast enough. Anything below 12 is to little by a long shot. I wouldn't go less then 14 unless it was a merc rush specifically.

Currently I have 11 quanta generators in the deck.  Two of them still not upped.

Another question is if 30 cards is enough for a half stall/attack deck. Against opponents with near to 200 HPs the attack potential can still be too low. Therefore stalling is required to bring the opponent down.

One test run showed that one gravity shield is clearly too less.

The mercs are in comparison to the earth golems too weak. OK 2 quanta for an upped 4/7 creature seems good for rushing.

Edit: Deck have now 12 upped quanta generators.  Currently testing a version with upped mercs

Newest version of the deck:

A lot more wins than with the accelerate/overdrive theme. I thought first the graviton guards are crap but 4/7 with just 2 they are great indeed. Won several games with them. Now I'm still thinking what to upgrade next.

Won even several time in gold league.

Edit: In Platinum league the deck loses by 75% of all games. Is there a mono gravity which is able to take down plats as well?
