I have vs computer.  It doesn't really have consistency issues, in the sense that it does what it does reliably.

If you like, I'll try it as is, and with one extra creature swapped in and see the difference in speed.  I'll do another set of tests of each and post the stats so you can see.  This is manual for me tho, so it'll be a bit.  I'll see what I can get done tonight.

I tried a forty card version once and it didn't seem to do so well. 36 would be the maximum, in my opinion.
Lol I just realised that the deck is supposed to have mark of :air so now Pendulums are out of the way :P

I just tried this, and it worked pretty well. it is basically a more offensive version of that deck you posted.

Not sure if my nymphs would work out, earth/entropy duo doesn't have much strategy.

Here's my attempt at a deck. Needs tweaking. There are 2 problems:
1. The nymphs die too easily, even with plate armor. I tried to work in some quintessence, but it didn't work out at all.

2. Maybe too many pendulums. Suggestions on other cards to add would be helpful.

$$$, I think there should only be 4 glories and 3 animates in that deck. That way we can start with two of those and two of the scrambled shrieker decks.

That would work fine as well, minus those 2
+ 1 SS
+ 1 Mircale

Or we could keep it 34 cards?

I think just one more miracle would suffice.

I have been using a version of the first Scramble deck $$ posted.  As I am a Discord short I added another BB and I replaced Trident with Vamp Stiletto (worked surprisingly well).

I originally done this just to see how it played in PvP.  So far my beginners league record using this deck is 6 wins, zero losses.

Will try out some more of the other decks in the next few days.

Note that this has 15 earth cards and 21 non-earth, I think it needs 50% earth to be a legal deck.

Playing around with that morningstar deck I had better luck with:

Code: [Select]
58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 594 594 594 594 594 5aa 5aa 5aa 5aa 5lh 5lh 5lh 5lh 5lh 5oi 5oi 5oi 5oi 5pu 5pu 5pu 5pu
I found the stoneskins seemed to be enough healing for the most part without the miracles.  I think I favor $$$man's tilt towards more dmg output.  This deck is not easy to win with even with decent draws if you only have 3 weapons around.  The miracles didn't really help, because by the time those were needed, I was near decking out in the 3 weap version.  You're only really going to be able to deck out someone with 30 cards and no eternity with this.

Even if you don't like this version, the air pendulums are a better way to handle flying weapons, and flip the mark to something more useful like light in this case.  The air pendulums will be potentially useful in any deck with flying weapons (there's a few of those), whereas light pillars are only useful here.  Plus a few pendulums can more than handle the really low cost of flying weapons, so it's a good usage.

I've tried making a vault sample (made my own tab on your SS) and covering these decks viably.  It's going to be tight.  Covering these decks here in my first shot put me 150 cards over limit.  Being able to keep deck options like this is going to be easier if we can ditch things like the stack of light pillars no other deck uses.  That's the other, bigger reason to switch to air pendulums.
