Towerless... Damselfly?

[Dragoon1140]

A quote from the Master himself about Damselfly:

i never realy did like this card. its one of those cards that most wouldnt put in their deck. honestly, i dont see why zanz even made it. all it does is weaken air decks with a card that has almost no use

Well I am here to prove him wrong.

Hopefully you will get to go first, if not then you should discard an Explosion first or Cremation otherwise.  Once you play a Damselfly or two, wait a turn before you Cremate ONE!  Play a Minor Phoenix and Cremate them from then on.  The Gases are for the finishing blow, but they aren't needed to kill the opponent.

It's by no means fast, or perfect for that matter, but it does shine some hope on the poor bug.  I do have a winning % grinding AI3, roughly 75-85%.

I wanted to make an original deck that uses, as Unit said, "a card that weakens Air decks," or more often referred to as the worst card in the game.  The Towerless part is just there because they ended up being in the way.

I like the deck. It seems to be pretty solid, but lacking in CC (bar the 1 damage UGs)

I use Damselflies fairly frequently infact, in my Firefly Queen deck, with Adrenaline, it works a dream. 4 air quanta for the price of 1

Better idea for a damselfly deck:

Fractal + Damselfly + Dragons + Air Nymph + Unstable Gas + Mark of Fire (Last 3 is optional)

+ The cost of Adrenaline. 

In regards to CC you don't need any.  In fact, only Otyugh will really kill this deck.  I've beaten every AI3 at this point, and only lose to a fast Otyugh, I've even beat the Shrieker and Poison rushes.  Quite interesting, actually.

Well you need Towers for that, which I am pushing away from, and that deck would actually be optimized by adding towers instead of Fractal + Damselfly, this deck wouldn't.

EDIT:  Only double post I will make.  I promise.

That's a great idea! A life/air that utilizes the power of adrenalined damselflies (possibly a life nymph) and flying eagle's eye! That will solve CC

I guess your right, but I love fractal + creature generators.

I should have put this in the OP, but you barely have enough quanta to cast a few UG's, let alone a flying EE fueling Snipe.

This is a whole different deck, not to be included with this one.
Adrenalined damselflies give 4 quanta a turn, 6 of these give x24, 6 EEs would cost 12 to run per turn.

Oh, sorry about that!
