Inception.

Not the act of stealing a thought, but literally inserting the thought into someones mind.  But inception can't just be thrust into someones brain, it has to look like it was it's own drawn cards, like you weren't controlling the game at all.  And, when the game ends, it has to give you exactly what you wanted not knowing it's deck was tampered with.  But it's a beautiful thing.

With a seven card combo, I can give you infinite quanta of every element.  More, really.  I can give you infinite health, infinite creatures, infinite life, I can give you anything you want more than you can get it for yourself.

Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
7q0 7q0 7q0 7q4 7q4 7q4 7q4 7q4 7q4 7q8 7q8 808 808 808 808 808 808 808 808 808 808 80j 80j 80j 80j 80j 80j 81q 81q 81q 81q 81q 8ps


Ever since playing a control PVP game, I've discovered that control, thought, and variance in gameplay are the three aspects of CCGs that elements is direly missing, and, perhaps one of my favorite strategies.  Try to pretend like you understand what's important.

Sometimes you mindgate before the draw, sometimes after, either way you hold their deck exactly where you need it.  While they're desperately topdecking, you're grabbing four, five, six cards of the card they need.  They steal one of your permanents?  You steal /all/ of theirs.  They get a nova?  All the quanta you could ever need.  No game is the same, no game is easy, but no game is impossible.

And damn, it's been a long time since playing AI3 has been fun.

Heh this style has been done before, but I like how yours looks balanced and the name/explanation are awesome :P. Also, this is one of my favorite styles of decks. Just to clarify for people who dont understand how you can get inf steals/novas/etc that are not creature cards using this, the idea is to wait till you get whatever card you need from mindgate, use them all, then rewind a creature. Your next turn that card will still be their top card so you can keep drawing it, as long as they have/play creatures. To draw inf creatures, do the same thing except use the rewind before the mindgates.

Looks sweet, but 2 eternities in a deck that is like 90% reliant on drawing one early seems kinda risky.  I'd probably add a third to be safe.

Not necessarily. You can use rewinds to get you by til you draw an eternity. Yes, you could run into the issue of having a card you really need to get many of drawn early and not be able to keep it there, but generally thats not too much of an issue.

I'm saying you're going to want to start copying stuff that you want (creatures) as soon as possible.  I can see the deck working fine with just two, I'd personally add a third.

I've found that eternities ability cost and card cost are too expensive to be of value early game, especially when compared to the cost of a normal reverse time.

Also:  While I don't always win, I've found playing T50 an equally enjoyable sport.

First, I copied 13 life pillars.
Then I started copying that life dragon of his.  Heh heh.  Eat it Cisco.

Lol I just faced some type of stall deck in t50... here is the result :P :

Edit:
And this is what happens when I face a farm deck in t50... the photon was from the oracle and I rewound it once to free hand space, which is why its in the middle rather than in pet spot :P.

Notice 47 earth towers, with 444 earth quanta... with no rewinding to give extras :P. Where's some stone skins when I need em?

Lol this was one of the most entertaining games I've had. My opponent had a massive stall type deck with mindgates included, so for most of the game we each had 4 or 5 mindgates, a fire buckler, and an eternity :P. Finally one of the last turns of the game, he had a steal at topdeck so I stole all his perms except the pillars/pendelums :P, and finally won the game.

Sorry to ask, but can you make an un-upped version for people who just want to play around a little? (mindgates don't get much better when upped same with eternity.)
