While I harbour no delusions that I'm the first to build a deck on this premise, I've not yet found a post similar enough to stop me.

The deck gives reliable draws, usually able to play Nymph Tears on the 3rd turn.

I'm still deciding the way I best like this deck, so criticism will be appreciated!

Spoiler for Use of Some of the Odder Card Choices:

Purify – The small life gain becomes significant if your CC is effective. Playing Arsenic, there is also a chance it will be stolen so you may get poisoned. Versus AI, it can also be used to heal an injured Nymph.
Dry Spell – This card gains value when you have already made a lot of your pillars into Nymphs so you aren't producing much any more. When the opponent has Cells on their field it can be used to give you a nice boost in quanta (just don't allow the cells to beat you too much)*. It may also make the difference of another turn for an Afla'd creature.
*If you're worried Cells will run rampant, you can use Afla on a new Cell to kill it.
Arsenic – I originally played 2 but found they put too much strain on quanta. If the deck was upped, I might add a 2nd one again.

In other news join the tournament this week :-) Just sayin'.

I'm always a fan of tons of CC over Shields, but if you want an alternative to 2-3 Freezes, I quite like the idea of Skull Shields in this. It's not only a strong shield in its own right, but it also synergizes perfectly with the Afla ability of Greys and Dry Spell as well.

Purify is situational and I would pack more CC or quanta most of the time, but it's up to the situation.

I may be a little bias towards Purify. When I first tried this in PvP1 the first three decks I fought used Poison against me :-p
