Doubletime! Stalling Up To Speed! https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=22621.msg286744#msg286744

Just an idea that spawned when I faced the AI5 Masonos (:gravity d, :time r).

Using :gravity's stalling capabilities and :time's neurotoxin and Eternity for more stalling, I came up with this deck idea:

Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
744 744 744 744 744 746 746 746 746 749 749 74a 74a 74a 74b 74b 74i 74i 74i 75m 75m 75m 75m 75m 75m 7q8 7q8 7qd 7qd 7qd 8ps


Trying to make it a little more balanced between the roles of both elements, I added Overdrive (currently shown as ??? in the image) to put the extra Armagios to use when you have enough direct creature control on the board, of which any combination the 3 theoretically should work (untampered).  It could use some form of healing (probably Shards of Gratitude, but Black Holes might work), but as this deck is only about 15 minutes old I haven't gotten to the point of testing other possible additions, and I kinda was anxious to get some feedback on the general idea.  It may or may not work, but it was just stretching a similar mono :gravity deck to properties of that of :time that match the playstyle, stalling and damage accumulation.

As mentioned above the 4 cominations of CC on the board should work, where Otyugh and Gravity shield cover each end of the hp spectrum and the Eternity like a wild card covering either uncovered end.  Without healing it would probably fit the 100hp environment.  Half-Bloods even might be a challenge since this seems to be a little slow to get going, and Half-Bloods tend to have some good speed in dishing out their cards.

Some Tips:
Reverse time Armagios so that they are refreshed and can stall more.

Some Options:
Overdrives for Armagios to improve stalling.  QI might need a small adjustment.

Eternity eats lots of quanta, and armagios and oty arent very cheap at 5  :gravity each, so you could need more quanta generation. Also if your scorps end in the bottom of your deck you could deckout(although overdrives might help).
I would add more pillars and pends, and make it bigger and more stally to avoid deckout. Maybe then you could add some heal and get a tremendous stall deck.
