Powerful Wyrms (Air Rush) https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=12895.msg163800#msg163800
« on: September 24, 2010, 12:23:10 am »
When looking at the turns to win study I noticed no especially fast mostly air based decks.  This was the fastest deck I was able to come up with.

Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
6rk 6rk 6u2 6u2 6u2 6u2 6u2 6u2 7ms 7ms 7ms 7ms 7ms 7ms 7ms 7ms 7ms 7ms 7mt 7mt 7mt 7mt 7mt 7mt 7mu 7mu 7mu 7mu 7mu 7mu 8pj


Weaknesses: Reverse time and maxwells demon can do a lot of harm

Air pillars- you need a lot of  :air quickly
Dragonflies- Even more  :air plus some early attackers that can build up some damage, pay for themselves the turn they are played
Chaos Power- Now that it guarantees a boost to attack it can really build up the wyrms.  On average it should give the same boost as a blessing
Wyrms-  The main attacker,  with all the air quanta generated by turn 3 or so you should be able to dive multiple wyrms
Long Swords- Cheap attack from weapon slot

I did a preliminary test of 20 games in the trainer and it had a ttw of 6.1, putting it pretty close mono life rush and just a bit behind graboid rush.  Fastest turns was 4(twice), slowest was 9(once).

Any suggestions to make it faster or work better are appreciated.

Looks interesting. I may try it later. I'll tell jmdt (you know, that one dude that made the ttw study) about this deck if I see him in Kong chat.

That would be great.  I would do the full testing myself but I don't have all these cards in the real game.

Yeah, a Dragon would help out vs CC.

I tried it at first with a few dragons, but the 2 :air cost of dive on the wyrms just eats up so much quanta that I usually wasn't able to get them out.

you might have edit the deck alot to change the mark since 1/6 is completely reliant on it. if so it may not be much different speed wise

Longbow probably isn't worth dealing with the unreliability of Entropy Pendulums.

This is one of my favorite decks and its crazy fast to boot.  With a 5.888 ttw, its one of the fastest in thhe game.

Doesn't Blessed Pegasi have a supposed TTW of around 5.4-ish? Aside from that, this deck DOES look very fun to play, and actually effectively makes use of Damselfly.

Damselfly is definitely underrated.  An army of 2 atkers on the first turn is worth more than it is given credit for.  Plus it generates  :air for your other cards.  Plus it draws early CC.  I am happy to see that a wyrm rush can be on par with a lava golem rush.  I also thought about trying to work in some sky blitzs but after playing with the card for a while, it just costs too much quanta to play wyrms, dive them, and save up for sky blitz.  Most of the time, the match is finished by the time you would like to use a sky blitz.
