Please post discussions on what to include in this topic.
While we need to have an understanding of what decks we want to use and what decks/cards we need to counter the possibilities of the other elements in depth discussions should be left to the separate elemental topics that I will create.

[Jumbalumba]

Since we need to use decks with more than half of the cards from Gravity, we should look to have a Vault with more than half from Gravity. This includes Pillars so we can't just take 18 of every other Gravity card.

I would say 2 cards we definitely need to take 18 of are Sapphire Charger and Otyugh. Sapphire Charger is Gravity's best attacker and Otyugh plays a large part too.

I also really like Black Hole and think we should take 18 of that. It would come in handy because I doubt many of our opponents will go mono on us.
Similarly I really like Gravity Pull especially in this unupgraded format because it costs 2 quanta unlike almost all the other one creature killing spells which cost 3 {Lightning only costs 2 as well} (instead of all costing 1 in the upgraded format). So I think we should take 18 of Gravity Pull.

All the other cards are situational or we don't need many. Probably having 12 Titans would be more than enough and I think 6 Gravity Shield should be more than enough as well.
Out of the rest Graviton Fire Eater is the best card. I don't know how many to take but it would depend on what decks we think up.

[Baily18]

I'm not THAT sure we should take 18 blackholes. After all,  most of their decks will be either duo/mono, and i dont think 18 black holes is required.

[xKelevra]

I think the black holes could work. It would provide great protection against decks with 3+ elements and if they decks have less, we can always pair it up with discords. Might I also suggest fire eaters and grav guards for cheap damage. Also, we can't forget the unstoppables :3 Those are life savers.

How would you guys feel with fractal charger? I think we should put in a few fractals, aether towers, and dim shields there.

[jmdt]

As for as black hole, we should add several discord and amethyst towers to get the most use from them.  Maybe a few Maxwell's or some other entropy card to use up the extra entropy quanta since we can't easily fly them.  We could also also go for the synergy with pulveriver and use earth card such as earthquake along with black hole.

Since we will use fire eaters, deflagration and fire bolt are great additions maybe even a fire shield or two, as momentum for the fire eaters

[PhantomFox]

Obviously, we should hold lots of our 'key' cards, namely otyughs and chargers.  Most gravity based offense centers around that.  As for other elements, we should especially consider the synergies.  Fire is a natural synergy, and Death works as well as Gravity has supreme creature control. 

[Jumbalumba]

I have made a preliminary list.

Perhaps there are too many Novas but I like them because they provide the ability to use a variety of effective cheap cards. Perhaps Novas are just bad and too random of a strategy.

I also would like more Gravity cards but I also don't want to limit our options.... I should add some Momentum. Perhaps some Discord....

Note that we do have a little bit more time to make our ideas and preferably we should test some out.


I do think I should look at it more from a mono-gravity point of view firstly and then try to add cards from other elements if the other elements can easily deal with mono-gravity one way or another. We need to concentrate on flexible cards that can work in a variety of situations to get the maximum use out of our Vault. I think the optimal Vault would be consisting of cards that can counter as best as possible anything the other elements can dish out + some other Gravity cards.

As an example, the deck Smokefree has shown is basically the best deck against Aether. Perhaps some tweaks may be necessary like more Gravity Pull and less Shockwave because I don't think we need 3. Also Maybe 1 more shield. This deck could also work against Air and Light.


I just saw that it is now max 6 of a card from another element....

[xKelevra]

I don't think novas would be such a great idea. Grav's already got cheap critter control and we could always pack a pulv if the other team is perm heavy. I think the best way to go with entropy is discord as it's cheap and has great synergy with grav. In Earth, we could throw in a few PA's, armors, and titanium shields for good measure. Maybe a few EQ's too.

[Jumbalumba]

I've made a more final list for the vault. I've tried to incorporate a number of different strategies so we can get something more across the board.

[PhantomFox]

I should like to see a couple vultures to work the grav/death synergy of killing things and getting bonuses.  I'd also like to see some Rain of Fires for any grav/fire deck that people use.  AOE is not to be sneezed at.

[jmdt]

Looking at the list, we could use: about 3-4 fractals, 3 vultures and maybe 2 plague instead of 2 poison, remove the 6 nova and add several amethyst pillar and maybe another few chaos seed, remove 6 immolation and add 2 fire shield and 4 RoF, not sure how the phoenix will work either, add 2 miracle and remove the 2 reverse time.
