I like Aether a lot.

The deck's quite simple; the normally stupid AI plays spells before abilities, which helps a lot in this deck. The AI might play Quintessence before Epinephrine, of course, but I find that the possibility of a Nymph with Immortality on the turn it's played is worth the possible waste of Epinephrine. I've been playing around with the possibility of Mitosis, but the Nymph then can't become a immortal immortalizer. It's unsettlingly likely for the draws to go wrong if the AI draws too many buff cards like Quintessence, Mitosis and Epinephrine without a Nymph to put them on. I've also played with Phase Recluses, which are good targets for Adrenaline, with a Life Nymph; however, the AI wastes its Quintessence spells in that case, since the Recluse comes out before either of the Nymphs.

Hmm. Quite interesting. Are teh two quints really necessary though? I mean, you have twelve nymphs that can protect each other. 12 thunderbolts? Isn't that a bit too much? 6 should be enough... Also, this deck, like any mono or , lacks PC. Hard countered by MA.

The quints are because the Nymphs can ordinarily be CC'ed off the turn they come into play. Still, you make a good point about there already being twelve nymphs.

MA isn't the only thing that counters this deck; if you exercise due diligence, RoL/Hope beats this deck down easily. Also, this deck (like so many others) dies to Instosis. Yeah, this deck is pretty weak currently.

Maybe make this a trio deck with water. Nymphs tears to get the nymphs up, ulithards to lobo, puffer fish to poison and damage, and epinephrine to pull it all together.

Hmm... It could work, but I'm concerned with the AI choosing the wrong stack of pillars to Nymph's Tears.

If I use the epinephrine spell, since my mark can't be Life (I need it for water, for NT) I need to put in pillars to support it. (Pillars, because Pendulums will be targeted by NT every time and I don't want to have no Aether Nymphs.) However, if I use enough pillars to have a good chance of drawing one in the opening hand I'll end up having a massive influx of life quanta if I use it only to pay for Epi, and I don't want to put in Forest Specters as that makes it too similar to Elidnis. It's already a life/water/aether trio with emphasis on quinting.
