What are your preferred decks?

[$$$man]

Just list 2-3 decks that you like here. Rules are
-must have 50% earth cards.
-must be good and somewhat tested (don't just throw something together.
-These will be used in final determination of the vault.

Please use the following format to prevent clutter

[Dreggs]

In all honesty I dont have any preferred decks tho the above decks all seem nice and from what I understand of the last war are pretty tested.

Only issue for me is I only have 3 Discords - will get grinding on T50 to try get another asap.

[Demagog]

$$$, we can improve on the discord deck. Remove the trident and a flying weapon and add a pillar and a BB. I've used this deck a lot unupgraded and that trident is hard to get out early enough to matter.

Other decks we should have are the flying glory deck, a golem rush, the earth/gravity deck, and the earth/scarab deck. I'll post them in a bit.

Fixed the discord deck. I will take your word for it since I inly play with the upped version.

And about the other decks I'm sure they would be great to include.

[Skydaemon]

Ok, this will be my placeholder post for my decks.

I'll post my first deck to get it started and see if I've got these spoiler/forum options figured out.

Deck 1:Deck 1
An improved version of deck 1.  Graboids work better than the shriekers for this deck due to lower cost, and the is basically free.

concept and swaps:
It has both offensive and defensive deck (including some quanta defense).

There is a lot of responsiveness in the deck surrounding the choices you make with immolation targets and rage potions.  If an enemy poisons or lobotomizes something or messes up a creature, it becomes a good immolation target.  If you get stuck needing to kill a maxwell demon or something to get shriekers out, you can sacrifice whatever is on the board to get a fire shield up.  You can also let the preferred target (lycanthrope) do some damage while you wait for the need for a shield.  The rage potions also get around gravity shields, as most people know everything outside of shriekers is going to have high hp, so they might plan for it.  Lycanthropes, stone dragons, hematite golems all go well with rage boosts for offense.

The novas and immolations aren't just there for producing quanta, they're also counter-discord/pest quanta defense too, as well as confusing opponents a bit.

There's a core of this deck, which is the novas, and the earth cards pretty much.

Swap options for particular situations:
-The fire shields can be swapped for titanium shields.  Fire is better against fire, or entropy type rushes, titanium better against life. 
-The lycanthropes can be swapped for pretty much any low quanta immolation target.  Main reason to do that really is if you need the entropy or dark quanta for something else.  My second choice woulda been mind flayers.
-The rage potions are swappable for basilisk blood, but that removes the offensive potential.
-The rage potions are swappable for other cards.  Options include: adrenaline (works as a nice killshot, shriekers and stone dragons are both 8atk, which is the optimal atk for adrenaline which hits for 17 total dmg (8,6,3); you can swap for Rewind, Momentum, an improved poison, or really, any two other special cards you think you need to handle something.  Deflagrations are excellent choices as well, as it's very likely to run into fire or thorn bucklers playing as earth, as it's a standard counter to burrowed creatures which everyone will expect from earth.
-The fire pendulum could be swapped for a stone pillar, but it's slightly better with it as a pendulum.
-Stoneskins could be added if are going to need healing, but it slows it down slightly.
-Hammers or pulverizers can be swapped in as well, but barring a special need I found they got in the way more often than they helped.  Opponents expect weapons, so they get destroyed or stolen and  they end up hurting as well as wasting your slot.

[Demagog]

I don't think that deck will work too well, Sky. Way too many quanta producing cards, hardly any creatures, and I just don't know if the idea of it is reliable enough to be a consistent deck. Have you tested it?

@ DEMA

Deck one:
Nothing much to say here, good deck.

Deck two:
I say keep 2 of each pillar (to be EQ resistant) and swap the rest for grav. Pendulums.

Deck three:
Increase deck size, that could easily deck someone out, add a few (2) titanium shields and more light pillars. If most people on our team have enough glories, then add more o' those and animates.

Deck four:
I say minus 3 aether pillar +3 earth pendulums.

Deck five:
This deck need work, we could go with an un-upped version of my stop right there deck.

Good deck.
-1 pillar +1 pendulum

Deck seven:
I really don't remember the point of taking this deck. other then to run down bonewalls it's completely use-less.

[Demagog]

The second deck would need to have earth pendulums, actually.

For deck three, we need to decide the optimum amount of cards. 34 or 35 probably. And are pendulums or pillars better?

Yes, for number 2, I must have gone brain dead or something.

For deck three, i think 40-ish would be the better idea, but 34-36 sounds good. I don't know about pendulums I will go do some testing.

[Demagog]

I tried a forty card version once and it didn't seem to do so well. 36 would be the maximum, in my opinion.

[Korugar]

I don't have a specific deck in mind, but as another gravity/earth duo, I imagine there are some pretty good quanta denial decks with black hole and earthquake.

In a game where you can't have over 50% of cards from a diff. element. expect almost 0 rainbows unless your facing entropy/fire. In which case, EQ would not help much anyway (Well maybe against entropy)
