Everyone plays the same old same old when it comes to  :earth, so I changed it up. Plus everything been buffed due to new patch but the quicksand have been nerf up to 2  :earth. This deck is fun, no really problems to the deck next to phase shield stop and not the fastes in quanta stop by quicksand but you can kill pretty fast with a good hand. Most people will say why granite skins and not just sod, I like them cause most people don't expect them when your about to die and you hit 2 and your back to 100hp  if you have the 50  :earth. The golems can be good for a good hand rush due to the fact that there only 4  :earth 6/9 very good for the quanta you spend on them plus they are hard to kill and do good damage and the basalt there to add to the pain of taking 6 damage aswell as the basalt are very hard to kill due to 10/12. Enjoy ( This deck is subject to change at your well)(Outcome of deck my very when non upgraded)


(p.s. The art on te steel golems is sweet. This why I made it)


12x  :earth pillars
6x steel golems
4x basalt dragons
4x earth quakes
4x granite skin

Looks very effective to me. The only problem i dont like is 4 granite skins. They are good but dont you want the 50 hp gain? No more no less. I would take one out and add another tower. I have not tested this deck it just looks like it might have an occasional quanta problem.
I decided to "drop" back in

Quicksand nerfed? Wha?

Anyway, looks like a solid mono earth.

Like I said this is subject to change at your well, this is the way I like it. Really I don't understand why you would think it would have a quanta problem when the steel golem only cost 4  :earth this is no more different then a graboid which is 3  :earth plus 1  :time = 4 thats not including 1  :earth for burrow. I've only had to granite a few times only due to the fact of trying to out last bunch of phase sheilds they help in the long run vs something like that. Plus you can push yourself pass 100hp with them if you didn't know that already = if you can hit 4 at the same time at  50  :earth even from 10hp you will push pass 210 hp, if thats not worth it then I don't know what is. The point of this deck is not about the basalt it's about the steel golem and basalt are for more overall damage, cause the only way you can really stop golem is to rewind/phase/bone. 

And this was a bad creature hand as you can see.

Yes puppy quicksand is now 2  :earth but not really a nerf when you think about it.

I just figured with 4 dragons and only 12 pillars quanta would be a little strained. Ah well i see your points.

LOL Didn't know that about quicksand. But I'm glad you see my point odstrookie. A good way to make granite work for you is to hold dragons if you need to, all of them screenshot are me holding dragons tell I had to hit graintes 1  :earth for 50 hp if you have the 50  :earth really helps vs creature control decks to top it off if you hold dragons like I did then hit granites and then pull dragons out (at 50 plus  :earth you will be able to pull all the dragons out after granite) and you will have put yourself on top unless the person you are facing just has to much damage to out last.

Seems pretty solid, extra points for not making a deck revolving around Graboids. The amount of times I've seen that on PVP with some n00b going "Look at this strategy I made. It's well good" Only problem is, I doubt it would work too well unupgraded.
