Aether/Time Silurian Fractal

This is my first time ever creating a thread, seeing that all I've done in the past is... respond to them. ^^;

Okay, I know what you're thinking - fractal a dragon? It's expensive to do, but the emphasis on building up enough Time quanta is important (hence the Mark is still Time), as once you get enough aether quanta to fractal a Dragon, you're going to want to send them out all on the field at once. Obviously, this isn't very good against denial decks or ones with offensive shields, but against certain opponents (especially AI3 or Top Tier 50 AI), it can build up just as much damage. Phase Shield assists with stalling, while hourglasses help you draw faster. Use Quintessence on Anubis ONLY.

Decking out is a probable circumstance, but if you pull it off right (and the opponent doesn't have an arsenal of anti-permanents in his system), you should be able to have Anubis immortalizing the dragons that you play (after a fractal), thus making fire/carapace shield the only way to stop them (rather than being eaten up by Elite Otyughs).

Again, a Duo-deck for fun purposes only.

If you can play 5 or so dragons at once, fire buckler and carapace shield are not a problem. Phase shields and dissipation shields could be worse... hope also.

Now... as far as gathering quanta is concerned, I think having more aether towers and more phase shields gives you more time to gather quanta, so you might be able to fractal 8 silurians at once!

Though it may fail against momentum (try to counter with eternity), quantum denial and permanent destruction, so it's a trade off.

Anyway I'd go either for turtle shield + SoGs or phase shields, but not both. Silurians + Anubises is nice, because sometimes you don't want your army of silurians to die because of 2 RoF or something similar, but I'd rather go for 2 silurians + 1 anubis.

Unless you don't plan to fractal anubises, then 2 anubis + 2 quints, or more, if you plan to play these as fast as possible.

I see. I suppose I could tweak my deck a little bit more to give more personality to the Aether-side of the deck. I was worried that if I put too many Aether Towers vs Time Towers, I wouldn't have enough  (figuratively and quanta-wise), to set up the combo correctly. I'll redo the deck immediately then. =P
