Versatile fractal-pesty deck https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=13759.msg173679#msg173679

I'm new in the forum, but I already have a couple of decks, so I decided to post my favourite. now I'm only n00b, and I decided to pump this thread with the God-by-God breakdown (thx new trainer) to see if it gets to the archive somehow.

Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
7t6 7t6 7t6 7t6 7t6 7t6 7t8 7t8 7t9 7t9 7ta 7ta 7tc 7tc 7td 7td 7um 7um 7um 7um 7um 7um 7um 7um 7um 7um 7um 7um 808 808 80i 80i 80i 80i 80i 8pu

This is my own version of the well-known pesty deck... This little dudes (pests) made me love Darkness, and, as you can see, I managed to add Vampires, Siphons, Steals, Eclipses and Dusk, without major quanta issues.

The deck:
- 6 Pests: The spine of the deck. Play them quick, since they will be your main quanta source. Fractal them 2 times ASAP.
- 2 Vampires: They are both healing and attack, but don't fractal them (nor play, if unneccessary) until you have enough Pests out (14-15 at least).
- 5 Fractals: You will anyways use 4 max most of the time, but you'll need them in your first 10 cards. First 2 are for Pests, then you will have to choose between Vamps and moar Pests (no PC/low shield gods/no healing).
- 2 Eclipses: The "punch" of the deck. Without them, your creatures won't deal enough damage to kill your enemy/heal you.
- 2 Improved Steal: PC is never enough when talking about FG's. Every god has its priority when talking about Stealing.
- 2 Syphon Life: Both good to finish-off* and heal most gods.
- 2 Dusk Mantle: Good shield when it comes to block damage. Anyways, you can always steal a shield ;)
*You'll need at least 491 :darkness to OTK a god with 2 bolts. It's possible, so don't laugh.


Chaos Lord: 1 | 9 | 0 (10% win) Supernovas+Quantum Towers+Fancy mutants' powers... I had to steal his dissipation field to beat him. Once you get to >50  :darkness (if you manage to) you can do this to prevent some damage. Hard.
Dark Matter: 2 | 8 | 1 (20% win, 50% EM) Black Holes and Gravity Pulls mess up the beggining. He will probably GP your first pest before you fractal it, and then drain your remaining  :darkness. Fortunately it can be easily denied... if you manage to do it.
Decay: 5 | 5 | 1 (50% win, 20% EM, could have been 60%) Some even matches against Daddy Decay. He will Syphon your first pests, but luckily you can fractal his devourers. You can make him waste his quanta by letting him lobo your devourers and kill them in the beggining of the match. In the end, it's about who can deny his opponent first.
Work in progress.

Take out the siphon lifes, I think your eclipse will be enough for damage and healing. Do you find that you're a bit low on aether? 5 pillars for 5 fractals?

Actually, is for CC, and helps as a final shot also...
Apart from that, sometimes the vampires aren't enough, they occupy space that can be used by pests or you just don't draw them...

About the quanta, I have the 6 pendulums and the mark apart from the pillars

You forgot that the pendulums generate 1 mark quantum. And, about some more after a few turns, the Aether towers generate 1 Aether quantum whe played, upgraded fractal costs 8, lower then unupgraded.
Very nice Deck, might try to build it one day.  :))

I would do it, but I don't have even one *facepalm*
Anyway, it would be a great addition to the deck :D

It seems to have a lot of obsidian towers/pendulums, shouldn't your :darkness quanta come from pests....? It would make the deck less bulky, and more reliable as well. Maybe 10-14 pendulums and no towers? Just a possible suggestion.

Oh yeah, whoops.

I agree, your pests will be producing plenty quanta for the dark cards, pendulums would help more.

I played one of these for a while and I loved it. I really want to go back.

What level can this deck compete at?

Its designed for fake gods, but you may want to try this in PvP, just for fun (make it 30 cards in that case)
