Deck Compilations / Please criticize my aether deck.

« on: December 15, 2009, 10:09:29 pm »

Aye, that's where I became impressed by them.  I'm aware a good setup for Gemini doesn't mean the same for a player without the advantages, it's just I've had a lot of games lately come down to where if I had one more turn of damage, I would've won.  So maybe recluses can help with that, if they don't slow down the deck too much.

In-game Troubleshooting / Farming upgrades

Cow, that's pretty much my deck, except one less PU, 2 less pillars (half of mine are towers) and I added a purify.  Miracle can be finicky, generally you want to do 18-25 damage per turn (lower end is actually better in Miracle's case) and unload everything else only when playing everything you can will bring the game to an end your next attack.  If this is what you do and it hasn't worked out, keep at it, your luck will even out over time (I know, I get sick of hearing other people tell me that too  ).

Card Ideas and Art / Phase Dragons

« on: December 15, 2009, 10:09:28 pm »

The health of the phase dragons doesn't matter, since nothing can hurt it.  So lowering its health wouldn't warrant decreasing its quanta cost at all.  Putting its health at 6 though, makes it vulnerable to Gravity Shield, which can totally shut down a phase dragon only deck.

Issue Archive / Abyss Crawler bug

« on: December 15, 2009, 10:09:28 pm »

When you play Scorpio, he can play the Abyss Crawlers (5 water quanta cost) for only 3 water quanta.  Not a game changer really, and I've already emailed it in, but posted in case you wonder (like I did) how there was an Abyss Crawler in game the first turn when there was only 3 sapphire towers played.

I don't think you have enough pillars in your deck, though I do tend to run closer to 50% pillars than 33%, and with your deck (very few dragons) it's not as quanta intensive as mine.  I'd lose 2-3 Lightnings, the short sword (though it is a nice cheap source of damage) and one Immortal and replace them with pillars.  With 6 dimensional shields, you don't really have to worry so much about the opponents creatures, though Lightnings can be nice to get rid of troublesome creatures with annoying activated abilities.

Don't forget to do the quests, as there is one that once you reach 500 in score, you can select a rare weapon, which I suggest you choose the Lobotomizer, unless you plan to switch to another type of deck.
