"Nobody expected Spanish Inquisition" deck for EM or bust. https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=35312.msg444848#msg444848

This is the deck my semi-sober mind piled together for Silver League farming (unable to get reliable and not extra-time-consuming wins on Gold and Platinum, shame on me! Definitely not bothering it with 15-mins-to-play-anti-FG-style-decks).
After fourth consecutive spin (yep, that's 20 wins in row) decided to share it. It's in no way "good" as in well-tested/polished, but it attacks them guys from an angle few Silver deckbuilders care to cover - good old Discord/Hole.
Not even sure Chargers are good finishers, something else in colors might do better. Ah, nymphs unupped on purpose, in case I ever decide to run'em in unupped tourneys ;)

Plan A is good old quanta lock. Plan B is just dumb shield-ignoring rush backed with healing/denial (in the form of holes and AMs). If you win, it's almost guaranteed Mastery.

I'm 100% sure it could be made better simply by tweaking numbers, but it does OK for the start.

That looks almost exactly like the arena deck I have up in platinum right now; I got gravity nymph last week :)  It doesn't have antimatters, but it does have an amethyst dragon or two to burn excess entropy quanta (triple mark); either way seems like it would work fairly well.  Of course, as an arena deck there are different considerations, but it's something like 53-5 and rank#6 right now, so the basic idea is pretty solid.  I just wish I actually had five gravity nymphs like my arena deck and not just one... :)

Nothing really much to say. That's a pretty good deck. Black holes and nymphs with discord almost guarantee denial and the elite chargers pack a punch. Have you tried this with a :gravity mark and entropy pendulums? You can get discord out faster that way.

Tried, but it creates a problem: we need LOTS of gravity and very little, but reliable, Entropy. Right now it's some grav pendulums and some grav towers, and I know I will have my 3 Entropy by t2-t3 no matter what, and will have tons of grav quanta off my towers. In grav mark/entropy pendulums configuration, I'm basically forced to play many pendulums (else they won't come), which leaves me with much Entropy quanta lying around after Discord (at the cost of much-needed Grav one).
Try it out anyways, might work better for you.

P.S. Obviously in "false god configuration" this deck gets pretty sick - basically a Dark Matter without half deck wasted on useless Light. In normal mode it's a bit prone to having fast enemy "slip under", hence the formidable Chargers and AM - it actually gives a chance to outrush some fast creatures if you can Hole yoruself a little life.
