Chaos... Control!

[Captain Scibra]

This deck has control of all 3 areas, and denies the opponent completely when it gets going.  Heres the deck:

First of all, yes, I am aware that this is going to be a rare deck build with 4 Gravity Nymphs... this is just its most effective form.  You could probably get away with Black Holes for them and adding a few Elite Chargers.  Also it does lack attack power, but so far I have yet to deck out (only one incident have I had no left cards in my deck, but i still won).  I'm probably going to trade the Microabominations for Amethyst Dragons, and just use otyughs for both control skill hosts.  Tested it as an AI5 farmer, and so far its about 66% win rate, with an almost absolute guarantee of an EM if you win. (Poison may become a hassel, but the only time I didn't get an EM I didnt leave any pillars to use Black Holes to heal myself enough.)

The strategy is basically get a Discord out and a Gravity Nymph at the same time or in the next few turns while the discord still stops him from meddling with it, then follow up with a Black Hole.  Use Otyugh to clean up monsters and BE one of them to start on the perms when you can spare one.  also make sure to leave a few pillars/towers up as to heal you for what is necessary.  The idea for the shields was to stop some damage that might be troublesome like massive or venomous creatures.

EDIT: fixed the deck, had an earlier version up, must have messed up with wordpad.

Notable weakness:
CC spell spamming
Bad draws (working on a pendulum variant so quantum gain is smoother between elements)

Feedback would be very appreciated.

Just started using this deck. Its very slow but the guaranteed EMs on a win make it well worth playing vs gold decks in the arena. for the record I put together the following version, using a mix of pi8llars and pendulums is ideal for the arena where quicksand is super-common. And of course I have only two grav nymphs (unupgraded for use in tourneys)

Nice deck, but wouldn't Dissipation Field be better? (the upped version of Diss. Shield)

[willng3]

I'd say no.  Dissipation Field would run the risk of draining all of your quanta, leaving you with little to none to power your Nymphs and Otys.

Plus, diss fields are 1/3 as effective  per quanta as diss shields, so diss shield is usually more efficient if you're using pillars/pends and half the quanta you generate is entropy. Assuming you have 50 entropy and 50 gravity, you would deter 150 damage with shield and 100 damage with field, with shield using half as much quanta.

The deck I posted is VERY VERY effective cash earner in the gold arena. Slow games but almost every win is an EM. I'm considering including purple nymphs for bigger creatures, but what to remove hmmmm
