This will be my final post like this in this thread. I believe that I have fully documented the proof that this deck is a GREAT deck for newbies to use to earn funds for upgrading cards. I, as a newbie, took this deck with zero upgraded cards and farmed FGs, upgrading cards as I was able. All I did was listen to the advice on this thread and it worked.
Hey jallenw thanks for showing us some new variations but I just want to stress to everyone that your documentation has only proved that your scarred girl variation is as good if not a little worse than the original with as many cards as you have upgraded.
I noticed in your post a lot of losses against incarnate, morte, paradox, a few against fire queen, miracle, and no extra wins vs gods that the original scarred girl had trouble with.
A lot of people like myself have been working with scarred girls for months now and the most common problem I see with new people is they don't really understand how to play the scarred girl. I recommend reading her strategy posts several times and even having them up while you play vs the gods as well as the wiki page like you recommended.
Of course variations like this that suit your play style better are always fun but adding a fractal just makes you rely way too much on aether and this deck already relies on aether with quintessence and phase shield. I would say your variation actually hurts the steadiness of this deck a little.
I'm not trying to be rude I just wanted to post that this deck has been proved to already have a 50ish % winning ratio so making a deck that started with a 30% winning ration and then went up to barely 50% is not an improvement but you need to stick with whatever your play style can win with.
