Simple strategy here, build up some  :earth while tanking first damage coming your way. Maybe play an early SS while you collect  :aether to start a Gnome rush, building massive  :earth in the process, fueling your SS protection and when needed the Fractal on a SD should be enough punsh to knock your opponent out. Obvious weaknesses are obvious (Mass CC, Dim Stal, Devour...) but I tried it and imo it is fun to play.

Suggestions always welcome.  ;)


Edit: Taken suggestions to modify it a bit regarding the quanta. This is by no means meant to be a deck for competitive surroundings, but it works a little too good (at least for me) to label it [Fun]. Thanks for the feedback so far!

what a crazy pillar/pend split

Exact the same deck, with Damsdels and Sky dragons, would be faster because of Blitz and safer because of Wings or Fog

But he wants to use SS, and I feel like changing to air would change this deck too much.

Split the aether pillars.

It's so long I've seen a deck like this...or even cards for that matter. I hope you'll pardon the dust from my keyboard and the dust from my brain as I offer some advice.

First off, you don't have enough :aether generators to reliably power the fractals. In fact, I doubt you can get off more than two in a standard quick paced (6-7 turns) game. Secondly, you lack control. I know it's a stall deck, but you should still have a little bit of control. A dimensional shield can stop all your creatures cold, and you cannot get rid of any annoying creatures of your opponents. Finally, slim down that deck; 30 or 31 cards. The smaller your deck size is, the better chances of drawing the cards you need.

Your main strategy works much better upgraded, since the gnome riders would be free to play instead of costing quanta. It is a fun and interesting deck, but it wouldn't do too well in competitive battling since it's too slow, not focused enough, and doesn't have enough to take a large beating. The quanta balance is also a bit off, and if you can't get a fractal off, you have dead cards and a dead deck.

Update edited into OP. Now on a personal note...

Exact the same deck, with Damsdels and Sky dragons, would be faster because of Blitz and safer because of Wings or Fog

..I have to admit I was disappointed when I saw this response. You know my thoughts about your awesome work on guides and deckbuilding, always helpful to get new players on the right track. But then commenting that the pillar/pend split was crazy in your opinion without any advice how to make it better was a little shock to me and it did not stop there. Damsels and Dragons? Really? Yeah, it works. Just like the same deck with Fractal|Devourer|Black Dragon|Dusk does. Why should we always just post decks that are the most effective? It just popped up in my head that fractaled Gnomes would provide a lot of  :earth to build a strong synergy with SS and offered an idea to the community. If someone can take anything away from this and build something really strong with it I would consider it a success. If not, I still think I am not to blame to spam uncreative decks since I rarely post decks at all. To be real honest, I hope you just had a bad day to explain this "flame" on my deck submission because that was not the way I thought I knew you!

heh sorry, I was really hurried when I saw it and felt the need of commenting something

The idea for the SS is nice, totally. I said the pillar/pend split was crazy because you had  :earth pends and pillars and  :aether pillars, but you didn't split the  :aether generation into pillars and pends for more EQ protection, what many people do.

Yeah, I forgot them even on editing the deck again, fixed. Will test the new one tomorrow a little to see how your feedback helped so far. Thanks for clearing things up Chapuz.  ;) It just came from out of nowhere and I was like  :o.
