Blanks are SoF.

Man. This deck is fun. Gravy pull a SoF and you have a growing titanic shield. Eat away your opponent's permanents to gain 15hp each turn, and you can even cancel the ability to still get the hp boost. Cut away your opponent's pillars for denial, then drop a BH if you want. Chargers and guards whittle away your enemies health while they are denied.

Main problems I can see with this is bad draws, not enough quanta, and being susceptible to CC. There's only 9 creatures and one weapon to deal out damage.

Feel free to play around with the number of SoFs and gravy pulls.

Any comments? At all?

You can juggle around gravy pulls on the shards so that one shard can recover from the damage done while still keeping multiple healthy huge meat shields up. This can take down 100hp opponents pretty easily, but sometimes loses to within a turn of 200hp half bloods.

You get +15 HP once you use the skill, so you don't need to destroy your own permanents for the extra hp.
(You can cancel it and still get the hp bonus)

Yes. Yes. I forgot canceling still have you the hp boost.

Any other comments/critiques on my deck?

Hmm....Overdrive?  Turn a high-HP SoF into another attacker?  Other than that one thought, looks deadly solid to me.

Thanks for comment!

Anyways, Overdrive is surely a viable option, but I'm not that much of a fan of it since I prefer chargers. It'd take an overdriven shard four turns to outdamage a charger, and an overdriven shard is only a giant healthbag. It loses it's ability to destroy permanents or gain more health. Generally, 6 chargers and 3 guards should be sufficient offense for 100hp opponents, and alright for 200hp opponents.

Gravy pull can also be used as extremely situational CC since chargers have momentum.

I don't find any point of gravity force, at least not four. All good attackers have momentum and there are no high hp creatures.

Edit: my mistake, forgot about sof.

Nerf to SoF hurts this pretty badly. Perhaps add in some novas? A nova can usually result in a first turn focus shield, but it also means you'll need to take some precious cards out.
