T50 Drain Grinder!

[Squanke]

Ive played with the fireball grinder for a while now but getting realy bored of it so it came to my mind, Could this work with another Color? answer is YES!

I found this deck being almost to be even more fun and _ALMOST_ better (just almost)
i appologize if this deck already is posted somewhere. (could not find it tho) and its not my intention to claim this deck as my own or steal anyones deck ideas

Here it is

Hover over cards for details, click for permalink

7q9 7q9 7q9 7q9 7q9 7q9 7t4 7t4 7t4 7t4 7t4 7t4 7t4 7t4 7t4 7t4 7t6 7t6 7t6 7t6 7t6 7t6 7t9 7t9 7tc 7tc 7tc 7tc 7tc 7tc 8pt

-Mark of Darkness

-Light could also work.

This deck basicly works the same as the fireball grinder about the same speed what this deck can provide is Elemental Mastery compared to FB grinder and you dont really need to draw any cards with the Sundials just to stay alive another turn

Over and out

I like this, lol. Because Syphons drain 2 HP instead of 3 HP, like the Fire Lances, you'll have to wait longer, so I guess drawing with Sundial's isn't necessarily a great idea, but this is definately viable. I would probably use Mark of Darkness with this, just to get more Darkness Quantum sooner.

But you can't burrow your pests without an earth mark.
With all those otys out there, isn't it a bit dangerous?

Its defenatly viable the pests comes in handy to slow down your opponents to get their Creature destroyers out.
i found that Otyughs are kinda mean if they get one out early but its okay to waste a Drain life or 2 on them just to get rid of them.

I was thinking of Mark of Earth to be able to burry them i that will make the deck a lil bit slower since you only need like 6 quantums to burry all of them.  but i think its more worth to go Mark of Darkness in the longrun.

I tried the same concept with Water deck but it does not really adds up like FB and drain grinder since its only 2 dmg and Freeze effect. and no steal or destroy. tried this concept

12 Water Pillars
6 Ice lance
4 upgraded Photons (for sundial mana and getting rid of Bonewall charges)
2 Poseidons
6 Sundials

Mark of Earth (just for destroying pillars with poseidons but kinda pointless)

[Tonberry]

I'm thinking mark of earth would slow you down but it would slow the opponent down more just because you might really cripple the decks that that rely on 1 to 3 quantums and even the odd times the rainbow decks.

[Scaredgirl]

Looks pretty good. Only question I have is that if you use a couple of Siphon Lives of creature control, can you collect enough quantum to actually kill the opponent?

2HP vs. 3HP is a big deal.

[Daxx]

I agree. It seems like it would be useful to have some alternate win condition. Even something as simple as a single Eclipse could work.

[Squanke]

Yes killing the opponent is pretty easy since your Pests drain the quantum from the opponent and hoppefully slows him down and speeds up your process.

you need about 120 Darkness Quanta to kill your opponent with 4 Siphon Lifes. so its not devestating to use one or 2 siphons to lower the otyughs but if u have eclipse they could not eat them anyway so eclipse is prolly a good suggestion to this deck.

Eclipse could work and removing like 1 Pest for 1 eclipse

[Scaredgirl]

What if you took mark of Earth for Pests and also a 2-3 Earthquake? That should slow the opponent down even more.

[Terroking]

i tried testing this with eclipse and found it useful, though i didn't get to play many games, (i won 2 pulvys in one -_-). it seemed to me the best option would be to replace a steal, as you won't be able to use the quanta, and if they can block you drains then you can't steal it anyway. eclipse is very useful when you want to speed up the game, usually a solid 6-10 DPT if you have managed to keep your pests safe.
