Best deck for grinding t50?

[Retribution]

There might be slightly more of a problem now.
It appears that the T50 is jammed with RoL + Hope decks as well, but what if wings + web becomes a godkiller? The T50 could fill up with them. So I think all T50 decks should either pack permanent control or creature control. Straight on shrieker or mono life rushes might not work so well anymore.

there is only a few RoL/Hope decks, I've only seen 3 so far, not like all 50 are  ^^

RoF is essential to fighting t50.  RoL+Hope decks. Phase Recluse Rush decks.  Scarabs.  RoF can destroy them.  I'm using guy_fawkes deck on pg.14 with some slight mods.  Is there a way I can add 1or 2 fire storms without destroying the stategy? (The strategy is to Immolate photons to play Lava destroyers and various cheap damage dealers) I'm not opposed to adding more cards, just so long as it doesn't upset the balance of quanta gain and quanta drain.

Nice deck crimsonflippa.  I face you in t50 a lot and the deck is really hard to beat.  I'm not sure if I've ever won against it.

Can a typical mono aether defeat T50?

Depends. In general, it has too much shielding to be a good t50 deck, as most t50 decks rely on speed.
i.e. the rainbow decks, scarabs, RoL Hopes all need to 'start up'. If you get them beforehand, they're harmless.

RoL+Hope decks can get going in 3-5 turns. With an immortal shield that blocks all damage, and a few SoGs to circumvent any poison damage, all it takes is a light dragon to do you in.  Course, an RoF can send the whole thing to its knees.  Which bring me back to my first post today.

Thats part of the reason fractal charger is still my fav t50 deck . It has no issue at all with rol/hope, as chargers have momentum. Even if they get an early electrocutor, I just have to delay long enough to play about 4-6 chargers in a turn to bring them down quickly (I have 4 phase shields which rol/hope cant get through ).

The problem I didn't like with mono aether is that once the hope counter goes above 8...well, your hopeless.

Gaahhh!  My post keeps getting ignored!

How can I modify guy_fawkes deck on p.14 to add Fire Storms?  Should I swap out two Lava Destroyers or add 1 more pair of immolation/Photon and then put in 2 Fire Storms?  Or is there a better way?  I'd rather not switch to a different deck because I do not have the electrum to upgrade twenty more cards.

i'd play +2 Thunderstorm -1 nova -1 deja vu

if your main concern are rol hope decks, the Thunderstorm could do the trick, because air quanta is unused while the 5 fire quanta is crucial to cast destroyers

Well those days are going to be history, since I will become a farm for a long time.
