I made this deck accidentally while grinding AI3 with frog rush. Did some research and testing and it seems that this deck's performance is quite imressive, I get around 90% winning ratio against AI3 (usually getting pwned by mono  deck), and something like 60-80% wins in pvp1. This deck is great against rushes, since they don't usually have both PC & CC, so goodbye graboids, spirits, frogs and fire eaters. However, as it doesn't have any PC itself, it gets crippled by most shields, especially  one. Also reverse time is really hard to deal with.

My strategy is to use fog shields and wyrms as lures for early control, and, when i'm sure the opponents hand's clear of any nasty steals, deflags or reverses, I start throwing Owls in the air. It's important to leave one owl in weapon slot (to get past some shields), unless fighting fire/dark elementals. I use Sky Blitzes as finishers, putting every possible bow on the table and buffing them.

I've been thinking about adding one or two wings, but i'm not sure what should I exchange them for. I'd be grateful for any suggestions on improvements, especially if there was a way to make it a little faster, cuz all depends on Flying weapon/Owl's Eye in starting hand

Thunderstorm?

Wings is best in duos (Flesh, Phase spiders); you could replace the Fog Shields but it probably isn't the best idea. Thunderstorms aren't very useful unless you have a few of them - replace either it or the Shockwave.

Less interestingly, you could split the 12 pillars into 6 pillars and 6 air pendulums, for protection against Earthquake. The deck does work pretty well though, especially upgraded. Sky Blitz in mono works like a charm.

Yea, that makes sense. I used thunderstorm mostly against annoying x*3+1hp swarm creatures, like Cockatrices, blessed Scorpions & Dejavus or Scarabs, to make them easily snipable, and shockwave as emergency exit, to quickly deal with FFQ, Pharaohs or growing creatures. But again, one of each is clearly not enough, while two of each would leave me with insufficient pillars...

I think i'll just take two thunderstorms, with Owls acting as mini-shockwaves. Thanks

With flying owls eyes, creatures with 4 health shouldn't be even  a minor problem, swap the thunderstorm for something else.

Yup, that's right, but problem is when in early game I'm stuck with just one Owl and enemy tries to outnumber me. This is where Thunderstorm comes in, cutting this annoying 1hp so I can take down almost everything with one shot. Not to mention Stone Dragons with 10hp...

The point is, I don't want to waste any shot if it isn't necessary, so I can take down anything as soon as it comes out on the field
