I think this deck lacks supernovas and electrum hourglass.

Nice philosophy, i would put some sanctuaries ass well to prevent black holes and quantum stolen.

I like rainbows, they are fun and fast.

I think that there are more annoying decks like SoSa abuse, ghostmares, dim locks etc.

I think your desire to encourage of using creative decks should be an encourage to using creative and competitive decks.

Creativity if the deck cannot compete in the actual metagame is not good.

Anyways, Arena will boost new deck ideas, time and metagame will show wich ones are good and preserve in time.

I think to play this shard you need supernovas.

EQ and shard are the late game winning conditions. Shard is a bit random but normally gives you one creature.

Wyrm is good, i like it a lot. I was testing and tried EQ, i never came back

Hi i would like to share my deck. I think it's an excellent pick to farm, as there are more and more Dim shields and ghostmares in the metagame,

The basis is a tipical raimbow Discord Black hole rusher.

3 Discords 3 blackholes: To draw one almost every initial hand

The idea is simple.

Turn
1.- Pilar if any
2.- discard a card or pilar if lucky
3.- Novas and rush

Keep a black hole for last turn for EM
Steal and explode shields at mid-late game
No CC. You hit faster.

Missing card is a shard of serendipity.



As a grinder: Bronze i did 6 streaks before loosing

This deck + 5 Arena Chaos seed: 2 days nº1

Nice deck. I love mitosis card, it gives so many possibilities 

I think your card proportion is weak. Your only defence is slow to deploy, and you don't have many probabilities to topdeck them.

Focus more on your combo.

Been using Angels since June 2010. Bit tired of having to go for the deck code when posting it to people that ask for my version. Also noticed there's no Hope version with Archangels in the FG deck archive, so I've submitted this solely for the purpose of showing people it's just as awesome. Also, the name is based on the concept of Aether being unchangeable, and it's also a reference to Perpetual by VNV Nation. (<3)

I bet for dragons, they are slow but a good average winning condition. If game goes to late and opponent has to be killed in just 1 turn, dragons are the match.

I think metagame of Arena makes sanctuary a must, 2 of them. For FG i think 1 sanctuary and 1 miracle is good.

I only use 2 lobotomizers, they usually come at last.

5 towers 3 pendulums. If stolen, pendulums give opponent advantage while pilars are more or less 1 over 12 chances to be helpful

Annyoing game, he drawed mindgate first, so he raped me so I became a Shit Elemental 

Anyways Mindgate is a top card, slow but awesome. Maybe new defenses as shard of sacrifice help to sustain, with sundials it's 18 turns of almost peace except for those 6 turns of sundial where weapons or steals/destroys can denial sundial.
