Wise Vu PU [Un-upgraded] [Time] [Aether]

[Afdarenty]

Didn't make these as serious decks - more just for fun - but I feel like the idea has some potential. Pretty sure this hasn't been done before.

Basic strategy is to wait until you have a deja vu and a few PU and SoW in hand, then play the deja vu, all SoW, and all PU on that one deja vu. Dim shields are to help stalling until you draw the required cards.

The idea with this version is to draw through the deck until you have a silence, deja vu, three PU and two SoW in hand. Third SoW is only needed against damage reduction shields. This version is a lot stronger against cc.

Play deja vu, use SoW twice (or three times against damage reduction shield), PU three times, and use silence, for a total of 36 damage.
Next turn split all the deja vu, for another 72 damage. 36 + 72 = 108

Feel free to discard hourglasses if you already have one out, and discard / play dim shield earlier than needed, as long as you will have enough quanta to pull the combo off. 33 aether 5 time with three SoW, 30 aether 5 time with two SoW.

Dim shields, bone walls, otyugh, owls eye, fire buckler and probably some other stuff will completely ruin this. You'll lose one in fifteen games from drawing deja vu or silence last. Oh well.

don't think that particular strategy has been used before but empowering deja vu have definately been dne i personally am running a rainbow deck fueled basically on sn alone it's always fun when you get a wtf reaction from your opponent as you suddenly get a high powered creature from one that starts from 2/2 the silence is a nice touch though as it stops your decks only weakness the turn before the finish namely mass cc but still a suspicious opponent could drop a complete block shield just before you play the combo

Yeah, there is an annoyingly long list of counters (I missed fog and dusk shield above, probably more still), but I still think it's worth it for the odd time or two that it works
