Effective enough to farm AI3, or even bronze league.
Chain Dim. Shields when only got about 55 HP.
Facing AI is alright because if they deflag, they go for the hourglasses.

Please suggest if you have any further improvements.

So... MonoAether with Hourglass?  Okay...

[Gandora]

To me it seems as if you don't have enough quanta, especially those hourglasses are pretty much useless for the first few turns and even more if you don't draw those pendulums.
Also, it seems as if it's nearly impossible to sustain more than one at once. So as you stated they more serve as PC decoy with some occasional extra draw. If so, you'd be better off using enchant artifact.

But I haven't tested it, so I might be wrong. But it looks starving for more quanta to me.

yeah it is certainly hungry for time quanta four pends and a mark are not enough to fuel upped hourglasses nevermind unupped either drop the hourglasses or play more pends than pillars this link can help with quanta balance: elements.alanbeam.net/qi.php?deckCode=, but the best method is to just try adjusting the pillars yourself through trial and error

Thanks all!  I surely love my Mono-Aether deck in the past, but the AIs always just deflag the heck outta me.
Maybe I'll have to adjust quantas for it.
Thanks a lot!

If you just use the the HG's for PC distraction of the AI, why not un-upped Sundial and no pend's with Time mark?

Withdrawn.  A quick draw deck should keep Hourglasses... just a matter of finding a way to do it while being able to draw with them.

Because then he has no chance of extra drawing.

It seemed to me that Phantastic was insinuating he uses the HG's in his deck despite rarely drawing with them and that it has helped him keep the AI from Deflag'ing his Dim Shields.  If this is the case, the Sundial is cheaper and allows less effort towards generating Time quanta while still having a permanent the AI targets ahead of Dim Shield (at least last I checked it usually does).

Withdrawn.  "Quick Draw Aether" certainly means it must retain the Hourglasses.

The Topic is named "Quick Draw Aether"

Also, he was just mentioning how it would be easier to use this against AI in terms of defense due to AI priority

Changed it up a little... it can now deal with Dim Shields. (?s are Psions)
