It works very well against the top50 decks (even with the quantum tower bug) because it controls the whole field from the minute you get an otyugh on the table (which is why they're non-upgraded. You want one of them out on the first or second turn). You can't be stopped by any shields and they can't play any creatures you cannot eat (2 armors on an otyugh are enough to eat anything in the game, except for a collosal dragon or an armaggio).

The only two difficult matches are against aether and against fire. It's always close but you'll lose slightly more than you'll win.

I think you may have a slight weakness to RT as well, though Eternity should only present too much of a problem in a Rainbow deck where they can take out your Pulverizer first or Enchant their Eternity. RT cards won't be enough though because of the chargers.

You might be able to go either way with adding 1-2 protect artifacts. They would shut down earthquake against you and keep your Pulverizer safe to destroy weapons, but they also aren't needed for the majority of your deck's matchups. Your call.

Reverse time isn't as much of a problem as you'd think. At a cost of 5 quantums the chargers can be replaced endlessly, and I tend to have my otyugh defense up from the second turn onwards.

The pulverizer is only meant as an anti-weapon device. If they bring out a weapon that is dangerous to me, I'll bring it out. Three things can happen:
1. Their weapon gets destroyed in the next turn
2. They steal it, and their dangerous weapon gets replaced with one which is fairly useless against me (since I don't use any permanents)
3. They deflag it. Still 5 extra damage for that one turn, and it only cost me some earth quanta (which are abundant)

Most of the time I keep it in my deck, unplayed until the final turn.

That deck you posted is 28 cards...

(Em... count again, jmizzle7 ... )

That deck you posted is 28 cards...

6 + 12 = 18 + 5 = 23 + 6 = 29 + 1 = 30

I count 30. o-o

[jmizzle7]

Forgive me then. I have no idea why I counted 28 cards! I read it twice and could swear it was only 28 cards... I must have already taken my NyQuil when I made that post!

[Scaredgirl]

Yeah, that might work.

Have you tired with 5 Otyughs and one extra Pillar? I don't think you need 6. Then again if you HAVE TO have one in your starting hand then yeah, maybe 6 is better..

Bad equation
I know what you're doing, but if you have multiple equal signs, the first part should equal every other part.
6 + 12 isn't 30

Lol, I saw that one too. I had to resist the urge to tell about it My old math teacher would have gone crazy if he saw that.

Ditto, my old math teacher beat it into the class so hard, I couldn't resist the fear

Writing it like that was easier than doing it like this:

6 + 12 = 18
18 + 5 = 23
23 + 6 = 29
29 + 1 = 30
