A lot of these decks seem to overlap... I'd be willing to drop the earth/life deck so we can use the shrieker rush deck... I'm kinda fond of the creatureless poison deck... I have a feeling people will take lots of creature control against earth decks, so creatureless seems like a good strategy. If I were to use that though, we'd have too many basilisk bloods, so Terro would have to use EQ's instead of BB's in his first deck (which I doubt he has a problem with). I'd also be willing to take the fractal shrieker deck... Anyway, it doesn't really matter what decks I say I'm personally going to take, because we will probably do a little switching once we know who our opponents are.

First off, I want to mention that I really would suggest trying to use elements with strong synergies. Earth/Life may be interesting, but it probably just isn't good enough to do well in the war and I don't think of life as a good choice for one of our elements.
Same goes for aether and light.

Code: [Select]
58o 58o 58o 58o 58u 58u 58u 58u 58u 58u 595 595 595 595 595 5f6 5f6 5f6 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5fa 5fa 5fa 5fc 5fc 5fc
Mark of this deck is to be decided :). That's one of my desirables.


I also think Shrieker Rush should be a constant option for anybody too.
6x graboid, 6x earthquake, 3x shrieker, 15x stone pillar. Mark of time, of course.
Remember Dema, we can have 12 Shriekers, and by Darkness one combined with your adren one leaves 2, which figures prefectly into the Fractal.

Puppy, That deck is going to need Earth mark, otherwise you'll be screwed completely if you don't draw any Earth Pillars, and even then 1 will not be very much.

Think of that Fractal/Phase Shield deck as your Aether deck with :earth splash for PAs, just more Earth-centered, and using Fractal'd Shriekers to attack instead of Phase Dragons, all in a rush.

That deck looks... Really low on offense. Strange for a fire rush deck. It's got 6 hitters total, and while the Phoenixes are effectively immortal, that's really not enough. It's hard to think of another cheap damage source, but subbing out the gemfinders for 4 Antlions and 2 more Earth Pillars may help. Not all that much I guess, but enough to matter.
I ask nothing of humanity but fairness in all things, but I do not expect even that.

Yeah, and I'm also probably going to end up putting 2 Steals in there. Though they may be pretty useless in some matches... I'm liking this sideboard idea more now, so if we chose decks to go with I'd pick that Earth/Darkness one, secondarily the Scarabs, although I'm liking the Fractal one quite a bit after testing. Matches are slow, but it's pretty much immune to any damage besides Poison, Unstable Gas/Bolts, and momentum. All of which are easily avoided by not playing it against someone liable to take those.

Ya Terro, I was just saying if yall would rather use some shriekers in a shrieker rush deck, I could give up the adrenaline deck because it's almost the same thing. They are both pretty fast... I'm toying with a new deck right now that's based on deckouts... Earth/water/air, uses shockwaves and freezes, stoneskins and titanium shields to keep yourself alive...it's a 36 card deck. I can only test it against AI, and most of them have decks larger than 36 cards, so I kinda just have to pretend that if I deck out it means I'd win in PvP lol...

If anyone wants to look at it, it's 8 stone towers, 2 titanium shields, 2 EA's, 3 earthquakes (BB's may be better), 4 stoneskins, 6 freeze, 5 wind pillars, 6 shockwaves, and a water mark, of course.

I'm just toying around with stuff right now, unless I come across something unbelivably good, most of these decks are just possible counter/unexpected decks I guess. I don't think I've ever seen an earth based creatureless deck, so I doubt anyone would expect them.

The new patch is out, so it looks like we could use a gargoyle deck somehow... Not too sure about that just yet.

It'd be best for use in that Devourer deck, maybe in a more Darkness-heavy version with LS or just added on in place of control.

Here is a "for fun" deck.

Code: [Select]
4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 52q 52q 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 595 595 595 595 595 595 5c5 5c5 5oi 5oi 5oi 5oi 5ur 5ur
I call it "Crazy Weapons." The name needs a little work.

I never said that :P

Besides, we need all the Basilisk Bloods for other decks, although it doesn't actually look too terrible.

plus my own deck would preferably be
Code: [Select]
58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58q 58q 58r 58r 58r 591 591 591 5um 5um 5um 5um 5um 5um 5uv 5uv 5uv 5uv any comments are welcome
