PCless decks can't really survive VS dimsields anyways... It's more efficient to forfeit the match and win a new one for the sake of AI3 grind.I beg to differ on this point. Aether is one the easier builds to beat with this deck, I find - as long as I'm not hosed for quanta early.
^^^ This. I'm still a newb, and am getting fed up with restarting. This deck is a lot more fun to play than monoblack or monoaether, which is good when grinding away. The EBs just seem to add versatility, especially when up against Dark/Entropy, and Dark/Fire. They provide PC baiting, to keep my Fog Shields and Owl's Eyes viable.
he was probably trying to make a EM rush build wich can be viable agaisnt AI3 to gainand score
But, I do trust to the wisdom of those who have been playing for longer than I, and will probably end up swapping out a few things down the line. Is there any way, in your opinion(s), to make this a usuable AI5 grinder? I'm nearly at the point of my first upgrade, and would like to know whether to work this deck further, or start on a new build.
Yours is good, don't get me wrong - I just found that my Dragonflies were far too vulnerable, especially to Otys. Also, I kept drawing starting hands full of Mitosis and Adrenaline, leaving me with a slowish start. All it seemed to take was one stolen Emerald Pillar, or one Earthquake, and my Life quanta generation was nixed, leaving me with a full hand of unplayable cards. Also, the Bonds have been saving my butt against Dim Shields.Your air generation depends on 2 adrenalined dragonflies. If you are not lucky with this build, you are screwed. My idea was to make a fast mito Azure ^^
Main problems with your deck: It'll take at least two turns to get out the first devourer. You might want to use darkness pendulums instead, so you can get out devourers faster. Mitosis devourer is generally pretty slow, since you need a devourer, and mitosis for it to start splitting. Thirdly, your deck seems to lack offense. Perhaps add some dragons for more damage. Also, take out the staff. The vampire stiletto is way better.So, you'd suggest switching marks to Life, then?
Thanks for the tips, guys!A lot of time with these types of decks devtal and devtosis, the win condition is a larger darkness creature. So you mitosis a black dragon after lock down to win. So -3 frogs -staff, 2 mitosis and 2 black dragons.This.
Also nightfall+minor vampire+adrenaline might work too, as mitosis vampire with nightfall is quite brutal.
Change the staff for a dusk shield and you are done. It looks good.Thanks, I'll try that. I was using Thorn Carapace at first, but it wrecked the Quantum curve. Dusk Mantle makes more sense to use, since I'm rolling in Darkness Quanta once the combo starts working.
Skull shield maybe? Spammers start off with low hp. It can be a situational replacement of bone wall, if aflatoxin is applied on opponent's fieldWell, the Aflatoxin is ONLY for use on my own Voodoo Dolls - it's not really good for much else. I think I'm gonna take it out ASAP; it seems to belong more in a monodark rush-type build. Maybe I'll just chuck in another Poison, for now, until I get my hands on another Arsenic or a Vampiric Dagger.
I have my doubts on whether Nightfall is all that good, as compared to, say, Arsenic or even Nightmare.Unfortunately, before hitting on this build, I had already taken Farenheit as my weapon. I have two of those, now, but still no Arsenic. If I had one, I'd totally make that switch. Nightmare, though it can do some quick damage, isn't controlling enough IMHO for this build.
Pendulums are quite nice; they help with draw consistencyI was using Pendulums (Pendula? How Latin are we here?) before in this build; they don't provide the steady stream of quanta I need for the Parasites to continually infect everything, while still providing enough left over to keep a healthy Shield up at all times. You're right - there's still a little more quanta production than I need, especially Darkness, but I found myself getting hosed far too often when I was using less.
On one hand, you need Voodoo Doll to win, so three isn't enough; on the other hand, you'll rarely need more than one, so four copies is overkill.Good point. I find that it takes at least three, to be able to apply enough poison while still dealing with creature threats from across the board. If I had a couple Arsenics, I'd surely replace both the Nightfall, and one of the Voodoo Dolls.
