Swallowed Whole -- Dark/Grav deck https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=159.msg1392#msg1392

I'm using a fun darkness/gravity deck and so far it beats AI 3 most of the time. I need to upgrade a bunch before I try it on the false gods though. Anyone who wants to play around with some tweaks I'd appreciate any input.

The main reason for having so many darkness pillars is to build up loads of darkness quantums before the final round. Then I can outright kill the opponent with drain life. It also helps to get a vampire on the board by round 2 or 3 at the latest.

Obvious strategy:
Drop the devourers and oty's as quickly as possible. Eat up any critters the opponent plays while sucking the quantum out of them. Hold back on the Nightfall for a few rounds ... a freshly played Oty can eat a 0/2 devourer if it needs to. Save the steals for shields so you don't get slowed to a halt.
If the opponent gets a lot of heavy creatures out (dragons, anything with 7+ HP) use drain life to reduce the HP to a level where Oty can eat it. If they stick to little stuff save drain life until the end and use it to refill your HP for the elemental master.
There are only 40 cards in this deck. Although it's all low cost stuff that can be played in the first couple rounds it really shines around turn 10 when you have several vamps on the board and the oty's are eating dragons.
Oh and don't waste a steal on Boneyard. As long as you have 2 Otyugh and 6 quantums, devour the death creature with the first oty and the resulting skeleton with the second. Great way to improve an Otyugh you just played last round.

Nice idea of a deck, but I don't think this is fake god beating material. You may beat Miracle, Chaos Lord, and Fire Queen, but I don't think you'd have a chance with th others. They all have cards that can destroy your creatures.

this deck is okay, but if it is for AI3, just use a shrieker deck.

6 graboids
6 shriekers
18 earth pillars
mark of time

sorry i didnt feel like making a screenshot
