should we use the event card?
I don't think my deck needs any

einjarhar, TStar, and male seem to be the ones with decks that would benefit the most with upgrades
einjarhar gets upped AM
TStar with upped shields and possibly quints
male with upped chargers

There have been some initial changes to the deck choices so please review your matchup to see if there are any changes.

Also, please recommend any cards you feel should be upgraded based on your testing.  If upping a couple cards makes a significant difference we should consider doing it.

Title: Re: Round 1 Deckbuilding Thread

My first suggestions for upping cards.....

GG: With the 6 General ups Momentum to Overdrive is the logical choice.  After that I don't think upping anything else will make much of a difference for how that deck performs.  I don't think we need to spend any cards here to up anything.
jmdt: He can up 3 Chargers as the Lieutenant and I'd recommend spending the 2 cards to up the final charger and all the graboids.  The only other cards that might be worth upping are the Pillars/Pends but I will let jmdt test this upped and unupped to see if the difference is worth the extra cards.
TStar: Upping Discord could help the damage but it isn't vital to the deck.  Upping the Amethyst Pillars/Entropy Pendulums should help to get Discord played sooner but again is probably not vital.  We might consider grabbing 3 Flying Weapons and upping them to replace the Gravity Pulls in this deck as it may make it faster and up the punch of the deck, especially if we opt to up the Discords.
Malebolgia: Spend the 3 cards to up all the chargers and graboids.  After that it'll will depend on how the testing by jmdt and Malebolgia go to see if upping the pillars/pends is worthwhile.
TNG: Spending 2 cards to up the Flying Weapons will let us switch the mark to :gravity and theoretically should increase the speed of the deck overall.  I don't think upping Titans or Catapults won't do much, although the Pillars might make a difference if we want to spend the cards on them.
einherjar: This is still not a great deck choice and I'm not sure yet what ups you'd need to make it work better.  Considering you are starting with a 6-0 hole in ups against Higurashi unless we can get a clear advantage from upgrades I'd consider using none at all to minimize the damage if we lose.
KDZ: Upping the Gravity Shields should let us play them sooner but I don't see it as vitally important.  However, upping the dragons I think would be huge.  You an extra 1 :gravity playing cost we would would the amount of HP they have and since there is a big catapult damage metric here that could be a huge edge.  By my match unupped slinging a dragon does 12.5 damage (not sure how it rounds) but an upped dragon would do 21.4 damage.  The biggest benefit here is that we would be able to kill players just by slinging upped dragons whereas unupped we'd need to do at least a little damage first or rely on them freezing up to get to the 100HP mark.
TII: Obviously upping the chargers is vital.  After that we can choose between the Fractals and the Pillars/Pends to up.  The fast we generate quanta the quicker we can get a field of chargers out there, so upping a handful of pillars/pends might be worth it if we feel we'll need the extra speed.

Another consideration for mine could be the Black Holes, I don't find them entirely necessary, but it could be a potential counter to their Novagrabby, but utterly useless if they don't use that.  What I had in mind was more pillars or pendulums, perhaps try adding them instead of upping the ones already in there.

So every deck we've tried on :aether seems to be hopeful at best so far against most every deck they roll.  That said I just threw this one together from parts of other decks we aren't using this round and it seems to be working against fractal Giant Frogs, PU LS Dragons, and pretty much every PU deck.  It'll be vulnerable against decks that pack plenty of PC (fractix could potentially) or devtals and poison might be an issue but with the catapults it'll help us in the race, but I'm not sure if there is anything better we can try to use at this point.  Give me your thoughts.  I'm thinking up the dragons (upped they do 21 damage instead of 12) that way we can bypass phase shields plus at 30 life Higs will have a hand full of worthless Lightning cards if she uses them.  If we really want to get aggressive we can up the dim shield and even the pillars/pends too just to roll the deck faster.  Look forward to hearing your thoughts.

EDIT: After a lot more testing and discussion with jmdt we're going to go with this one.  It has the best chance out of anything of winning since it's a great PU counter and we're guessing Higs won't roll a deck using Dim Shields on us.

Just a reminder to everyone make sure you copy/paste these exact deck codes for your matchups.  And don't forget to double and triple check your mark!
