  Miracle saves you
  Sundial - saves you + 1 card
  squid because of freeze nice cc
  SoSe it's always fun to use

[furballdn]

Woo! How fun!
  Probably phase recluse or dim shield. Strong damage, and protection.
  Wings, shockwave, or improved fog. Good protection.
  Vampire stiletto, steal. Powerful weapon and good PC.
  Arsenic and phase recluse. Extremely cost effective and powerful.
  Graboid. No doubt about that.
  Supernova. Definitely.
  Probably lava golem.
  Elite charger. 7 momentum'd attack for only 5 quanta? Excellent.
  Upgraded frogs deal 5 damage for 2 quanta. Fantastic.
  Morning glory, archangel, and miracle.
  Electrum hourglass.
  Don't really use water that much, but I suppose mind flayer or abyss crawler.
  Longsword. 6 damage for 1 random quanta is one of the most efficient cards in the game.

[omegareaper7]

  Lightning, one of the strongest single target spells in the game.
  Toss up between fog and owls eye, i'll give it to fog.
  Wanna say nightmare, but i'm going to have to go with steal.
  bonewall, only other real contest is arsenic.
  Graboid, is there any other real contest?
  discord
  This is the first hard choice, but i'm going to have to go phoenix, every ones favorite birdy.
  momentum, can't get much better then ignoring shields.
  Frog probably, good attack unupped, great attack upped.
  Sanctuary
  This is my hardest choice, it would either go to sundial or reverse time, i'll have to give it to reverse time because of the uses of it.
  squid, 3 creature lock down for one card? Awesome.

[Aves]

  Dim shield- Admittedly not as powerful as it was due to relatively new counters, it remains one of the strongest cards in the game.
  Eagle's Eye- Reuseable CC is more effective than Air's other cards.
  Steal- your permanents are my permanents. Forever.
  Bonewall- Given the right combo, an unblockable defense.
  - Diamond Shield- PA it, and suddenly threats become minor annoyances.
  - Antimatter- You swing damage by 2 X Atk.
  Phoenix- immortal fire creature.
  Acceleration - Giving high HP a use.
  Mitosis - Creature Spam.
  Miracle - Save yourself from the brink of death.
  Electrum Hourglass- setting up your combo quickly
  Arctic Octopus - More reuseable CC

Hooray!  More of this stuff!  Lets get too it. 8)

I've already explained my favorite Aether card a bunch of times, so I'll keep it short and to-the-point:

PARALLEL UNIVERSE

It's a spell card that's also a creature card; can anyone say, 'free mutant!' (Honorable mention:  Dimensional Shield)

FIREFLY QUEEN/ELITE QUEEN

A card to be respected, and the basis of some of my first Rainbow decks; even before Hope was around.  Slow to play, but once she gets going, start singing the Doom song. Give her a little Life, and she'll share some Light (or Fire, if it's an Elite Queen) for you; extra quanta is always handy.  (Honorable mention:  Unstable Gas)

STEAL

No explanation necessary for this card... well, I'd hope not.   Deny an opponent their permanents, and send them crying home to their Mommy!  (Honorable mention:  Drain Life/Syphon Life)

ARSENIC

Share a little love by giving your opponent something to keep... whether they want it or not.  A fair-damaging card that tastes like Buckley's Cough Syrup, leave an impression that will not likely be removed until it's too late.  Now if only Death wasn't my least used Element... (same goes for Air... sorry. )  (Honorable Mention:  Plague)

PULVERIZER

Having permanent troubles?  I'm sorry, I couldn't hiryuu over the sound of my smashing your weapons and shields and YOUR LITTLE DOG TOO all of your other precious trinkets.  I loved this card the moment I got it, and I still love it to this day.  (Honorable mention:  Iridium Warden)

MUTATION/IMPROVED MUTATION

So I'm vouching for a card I hardly use (namely because I don't have any improved mutations right now), but I also can't argue it's versatility.  It's the 'Oh look, my photon is now a lycanthrope'd dragon!' while being a 'OH GOD WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY SUPER-POWERFUL CARD!?!?!!?'  It's a bag of goodies, and fun all-around.   (Honorable mention: Maxwell's Demon)

RAIN OF FIRE/FIRE STORM

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned; and Elements hath no fury like a Fire Storm.  You had creatures?  Funny, I don't remember you having creatures.  Anyone up for some Scorched Earth?  (Honorable mention: None.  They're all too awesome. )

OTYUGH/ELITE OTYUGH

As if the last card wasn't annoying enough, here's a card that grows stronger as it destroys!  It's happy hour, every hour, when this guys arrives at the party.  If only someone taught him some table manners....  (Honorable mention:  Momentum/Unstoppable)

ADRENALINE/EPINEPHRINE

If you're not counting my lack of an honorable mention for Fire, then this was the first difficult choice.  But, I had to agree with turning low-attacking creatures into dragon-like powerhouses.  Not to mention it comes with the glory of doubling any special effects, like adding an extra poison counter!  (Honorable mention:  Cockatrice/Elite Cockatrice)

MIRACLE/IMPROVED MIRACLE

Oh look, more difficulty in choosing a card.  But I can't argue against going from zero to hero in a split second.  I'll gladly give all of my light quanta to stay alive.  (Honorable mention:  Guardian Angel/Archangel)

GOLDEN HOURGLASS/ELECTRUM HOURGLASS

The staple in any Rainbow/large-sized deck.  Satisfy your need for speed while kicking butt at the same time!  As time passes, watch the roll in.  (Honorable mention:  Reverse Time/Rewind)

CHRYSAORA/PHYSALIA

A very versatile card; inflicts damage now (granted that's only the Physalia) AND stacks poison counters on your enemy.  Plus, it's anti-Otyugh; because if an Otyugh eats it, it gets poisoned and will eventually pass away.  Don't you just love being out of your opponent's reach?  (Honorable mention:  Ice Bolt/Ice Lance)

Now it's time to be silly:

QUANTUM PILLAR/QUANTUM TOWER

Because Shards are OP, and Novas are overrated.  Use these lovely things to play every card I've mentioned, and anything else your heart desires.  The game is called Elements; so, lets play with some elements! ^_^   (Honorable mention:  Short Sword/Long Sword)

[furballdn]

Love how most of the "strongest" cards are the ones easy to put into rainbows

[ddevans96]

Nightmare
Bonewall
Chrysaora
Owl's Eye
Dim Shield
Adrenaline
Reverse Time
Black Hole
Pulverizer
Phoenix
Nova
Miracle

Pretty standard with the exception of Nightmare. I have it just above Steal.

[Mortisgrey]

  Dimensional shield. 3 turns of pure frustration for your opponent.
  Owl's Eye. Best CC in the game.
  Steal. Best Pc in the game.
  Poison. This can only be countered by Purify.
  Earthquake. Best quantum denial in the game.
  Discord. This totally wrecks mono decks.
  Phoenix. This creature requires at least 2 cards to truly kill it.
  Momentum. This totally wrecks any deck that relies on shields.
  Heal. This can sometimes be the difference between victory and defeat.
  Miracle. Elemental mastery? Yes please.
  Eternity. Best stall card in the game.
  Nymph's tears. I think this is pretty much speaks for it's self.

This is just my 2 eps worth.
 

[RootRanger]

(unupped)

  Dimensional Shield. 6 of these with a decent source of damage is enough to win against many decks. Support from Fractal covers Dimshield's weakness against stalls.
  Wings. A few copies can be game-changing against many decks.
  Steal. It's the main reason to use Darkness, and no PC can match it.
  Poison. It deals 2 damage per turn that is almost never removed for a cost of only 1 quanta and 1 card. Unlike most sources of damage, Poison is immune to shields and CC. It's a key card in many stalls and a decent choice in rushes as well.
  Graboid. There's really not any question here. Graboid is the best creature in the game, and it's highly overpowered. 8 damage for 4 quanta with only a 1 turn delay is overpowered by itself, and Graboid enters play untargetable and can also burrow after evolving. When I say it's the best creature in the game, I'm not kidding. Earthquake isn't nearly as strong, and Pulverizer is outclassed by Deflag and Steal. Pulverizer also needs Gravity, which doesn't have many strong cards.
  Nova. Discord is OP, but Nova is even stronger. The versatility, speed, and deck space efficiency of a Nova rainbow is ridiculous. Upgraded, it single-handedly turns a bad metagame into an unplayable "metagame".
  FIRE BOLT!!! Firestall has an advantage against pretty much any deck that isn't a stallbreaker, and really, those aren't very common. Since 80% of the forum has the mindset of "zOMG nuuu I will never play Firestall," using specific Firestall counters usually isn't the best idea. This means that Firestall becomes even more powerful due to the distorted metagame, and the players that actually try to win have a ridiculous advantage just by using Firestall. An already overpowered deck becomes even stronger because not that many people play it. Firestall is built out of highly powerful cards, and there are many cards that cause it to become overpowered, but Fire Bolt is the strongest one.
  Titan. Yes, Titan. Flying Titans is easily Gravity's best deck, and it's only possible with Titan.
  Adrenaline/Druidic Staff. Adrenastaves is Life's only deck that could actually ever be a viable choice. A mediocre creature or a fail version of Fractal isn't going to cut it.
  Miracle. Just a few of these, or even sometimes one, can swing a loss into a win.
  Reverse Time. It counters most Nova rainbows as well as most stat-boosting decks. It can hold its weight against many decks with creatures as well.
  Arctic Squid. But none of Water's cards are actually strong, of course.
