Earth/Water: Tsunami deck

[turin]

This is a concept deck, made to have fun and even some winning chance, similar to a new false god idea i've posted somewhere around.

Play style:
Just rely on your strong permanents, having care in playing them only if safe (no steal/destroy possibility). While waiting for shields/weapons slowen the enemy with squids and save their lives with heavy armor. Dragons will do the damage to kill.
In few words: "congeal" enemy tactic!

Strenghts:
- great deck against creature based ones
- enhanched artifacts with greatly annoying abilities
- good resistance gainst bolts

Weaknesses:
- no permanent control
- slow kill
- no healing

Improvements:
- shard of gratitude (which earth deck doesnt like this add?)
- squids or congeals?

Reason to play this deck:
- show you have 4 octopus
- like congealing

Why it's not all upgraded?
- not enough money :|

Enjoy

Do you find yourself short on earth quanta when playing this deck? Poseidon requires 2 earth quanta to use its ability, so you could only use it every other turn at best without being able to use your other earth requiring cards.

What she said. Also, Ice Dragons have one of the largests power boosts of all the dragons upon being upgraded.

Yep. You're both right: poseidon cant be used so often, but his ability being so strong (we're talking about 3 pillars per use) this isnt so bad: and earth cards are few and cheap.
I found more problem with water quantum because of the expensivenesses of squids' congeals.
About dragons: as I sayd, I had no money to upgrade everything. Found better to upgrade pillars first, then i had octopus and poseidon already upgraded and decided to improve earth cards to make them cheaper and shields to make them useful.

I'm glad to see a deck finally utilizing the hugely overpowered and highly underused Permafrost Shield, and it's Protected, no less! How does this deck work in PvP? I've been looking for a new non-Rainbow PvP deck since Speed Poison is no longer unique...-_-" I've actually been using a half upgraded Speed Rainbow in PvP simply because I've been seeing more and more Poison and Darkness decks...>.<"

What other sorts of changes would you make to the deck, say, if you didn't have that many Arctic Octopi?

Well, i must say that in pvp the expensiveness of Octopi and the fragility against strong permanents gave me troubles: a simple emphatic bond is a killing threat, since you cant kill creatures!
Water is really the most diffucult element to exploit, and i also think his stronger card is the shield, but how? Your fire and ice deck seems good, and i must say that probably best decks are variation of it.
Choosing Earth as mark let you rely heavily on permanents, and probably with all the cards i want i'll choose something like this:

Mark of earth:
14 x water tower
2 x poseidon
2 x permafrost shield
4 x protect artifact
2 x shard of gratitude
5 x ice bolt
5 x ice dragon

total:36 cards

But with an effort of great rares (gratitude and poseidon) you dont have even an all-rounded deck...It's destiny is to be only a "just for fun" deck...

Right yes,i tried this out and..its pretty fun actually,out of 20 random pvp matches,i wont at least 19 (well that 1 match was way to fast),but overall its a fun deck to play with,though i don't have that many octopus to freeze enough.
