She is Vivien. She has been called Evienne, Nimue and Viviane throughout the years. She was the enchantress who both gave King Arthur his sword and forever imprisoned his wisest advisor. She was one of the four queens who bore the injured Arthur to Avalon. She is... the Lady of the Lake.

She tricked Merlin into teaching her all of his magic... and then used it against him, sealing him away forever. She still lives, ashamed of what she has done, but too frightened to undo it. Now she has returned to the land of magic from which she came. Are you bold enough to challenge her? She is ready.

I think this needs more towers/pends (and pends are probably better for this deck).

I love love love love love this deck. The name and concept are awesome, the deck itself keeps killing me in trainer, and it uses Silence (a less used, unpopular card) to harass the heck outta me!  :)) Again, I love it.

I've used QI to try to optimize the quanta balance, and to me it seemed reasonable with what testing I've done. Since this is a trio, pends seemed a bit cumbersome to me.

I'm glad you're enjoying it!

I haven't played this deck, and maybe doing so will help me understand, but just looking at the deck doesn't help me understand how the deck should be played. My best guess would be 'Use Nightmare, Silence, and Octopi/Shield to stall the opponent while the high-damage Dagger and Recluses beat down the opponent', right?

The only good sources of damage are two Recluses, TU, and two Weapons (which you can't use at the same time without Animate Weapon), so I'm tempted to say the deck lacks damage. Due to lack of damage, this deck looks like it grinds your opponent into submission slowly; Silence is the kind of thing you put in rushes, since if you're slowly grinding down the opponent over many turns, their losing a turn to Silence doesn't hurt much.

What is the Nymph supposed to do, really? Recluses have too little HP, while Ulitharid and Arctic Octopi have too little attack, so there don't seem to actually be any good targets for Liquid Shadow outside of a good TU target (and the AI's horrible at deciding just what a "good TU target" is).

Massive quanta problems.
