General Discussion / dark/aether, kinda broken, or totally broken?
« on: May 18, 2010, 01:28:05 am »
I've been playing a few games, and have been beaten by the dark/aether combo modeled after the false god (the one that uses fractal/devourers/vampires), and I usually wind up flailing to get my deck started. On thinking of a counter, the only counter I can think of is a fire deck which is the only mark with multiple creature control (yeah, lightning storm DOES NOT count as it sucks). Every other rush deck can be beaten by a non rush deck, some more successfully than others depending on the match up and draw. But this particular build seems to have everything: permanent control (steal), anti-pillar control (devourers), creature control (drain life), and can easily be adjusted using fractal as all the cards involved are low cost...
Is there some secret to this deck? I feel that any strategy I ask for will come with a 'what are you playing' which tells me that each (some) deck(s) can only beat this combo with a specialized strategy.
Apologies if this is an old topic as I just joined (match means number placement and not shade???), and the search feature is too easy to use that I could find exactly what I was looking.
