it's not a very fast deck but it's pretty solid cause of defence of armagio (if needed) and a very high damage potential trough your overdrives.
precog is a lovely card in this deck cause you can base your stragety on it, look what your opponent has and plan on that.
rewinds can help with it, use precog first and then decide to use rewind on his biggest threat (sometimes you gotta wait with using it).
the chimera is a nice addition, it saved my life a couple of times late game and can act as a great late game finisher.
i'll upload my screenshots of beating the arena once i have them all.

ive been experimenting with accel, and ive found its not fast enough for plat, and for most rushes, but the defense from armagios should help with that, i would have to try it to know for sure

oh the irony...

but for speed, how would dragons do?
Not replace all 6, but I think that replacing 1 or 2 armagios w/ dragons (yes the fail ones) would increase speed
in the later game, you will almost definitely have gravity quanta to spare

I have done this more with unupped cards, because while armagio is two turns away from a dragon w/ overdrive, it's almost 3 w/ acceleration

outrushed? no, rewinds are excelent for that. especialy when you can see your opponent's hand and you can decide your tactic on that.
precnogs speed it up, armagio can be used as meatshield and a fast overdrive will get your damage potential very high, so i prefered using armagios over dragons.

From the phase 1 topic I see you've finished with this deck. I'm surprised at how well it works, even partially unupped (though I've hesitated to try it in Gold or Plat so far), but just curious, how well does it do against decks with insane healing (12 SoGs/Feral Bonds)? Is it just an autoquit for you or does the Overdrived Armagio eventually outdamage that healing? I've been using BE'd Armagios and Otughs to deal with those decks but I'm not sure if by trying to make the deck end-all catch-all I'm in fact hurting my winrate. Are you just focusing on CC with this deck?
