Phoenix Lockdown (Fire/Aether) https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=56056.msg1160043#msg1160043

Fractal phoenix is not exactly a new strategy.  But... I have not seen that many decks that incorporate silence and bravery into it...apologies if I accidentally copied anyone.

7dg 7dm 7ds 7ds 7ds 7ds 7ds 7ds 7ee 7ee 7ee 7ee 7ee 7ee 7f2 80i 80i 80i 80k 80k 80k 81q 81q 81q 81q 81q 81q 81q 81q 81q 8po

You can also go -1 aether pendulum plus 1 silence, depending on if you want more lockdown or quanta.  Adding plus 1 silence gives you better odds against rush.

Pros: Faster than it looks (fractal phoenix usually around turn 5, win by 7-8)
Basically immune to CC cause minor phoenixes are awesome.
Lockdown element: If you can silence them after using fractal ( as in use silence, then fractal, then usually silence again) you auto win (not kidding):  In essence, the opponent dosent see it coming and you virtually cant lose if you get a good hand (unless they play a boring 4 turn rush, but even then an early silence slows down considerably and THOSE rushes usually involve bravery too (giving you an advantage).
Insanely fun!
Can be used a a TTK or whatever it's called a lot of the time.
Easy to use.
That 1 explosion may not seem like a lot, but with 6 braveries....so it can actually defeat wings/phase shields decks as you can use it then silence them afterwards.

Cons: As mentioned before, rush can beat this.
If the opponent get's enough creatures out against you before you can lockdown, you can lose.
It's annoying to have braveries in hand when they have a full hand and are silenced.

Needs tweaking!  Suggestions, if you can, please!  Thank you!

edit: can go -1 bravery for plus 1 explosion or possibly even silence too.

I'd rather just have six silences.
With silences, I really feel it's all 6 or nothing.
Although, what could one remove to get those six silences?

A deck I can't really comment on is probably a good one.

Bravery and Silence have a double edged sword aspect to them. Using bravery speeds your opponent up, but if you silence after bravery it speeds them up by barely any and not at all if they have to discard in terms of raw draw power. But use too many silences, and you cant draw from bravery. Use too many bravery, and not be able to silence afterwards, means the opponent gets out a decent amount of damage and silence then becomes ineffective. Thus, I usually run 4 bravery 3 silence max in 30 card decks. My suggestion: -2 bravery +2 lightning bolts. -9 aether pends +3 aether towers +6 fire pends. -1 burning tower -1 fire pendalum +2 cremations.

EDIT: Also change mark to aether.

Thanks to skotadi for saying this in chat. Made me laugh pretty hard, and fits with me not getting drafted. :silly:

Thanks for advice everyone, but it seems MasN has already created deck!  Haha, and here I was thinking I had created one of my two only successful decks!   Ugg.

This is why I made this thread: How to Search for Decks or see if your idea has already been made
It's OK, everyone did it at least once  :P

I find that searching for decks either works far too well or not at all.
