How about the first of 3 triggers must be a  spell, and subsequently both spells and  abilities count towards the wind chime? I think that's a suitable boost, only thing is you probably wouldn't be able to explain the whole thing on the card--would have to be one of those things that people know at the back of their heads.

...gargoyles lurked amidst the fog, the sporadic flashes of lightning baring their hideous form.

This deck is pretty fun to play. Of course you'd lose to denial strategies with that many  cards and only a mark to support them, but otherwise it's actually decent for T50/AI3. Did it mainly for aesthetic reasons though

Voted Hope, Gravity Shield and Bone Wall. I suppose hope and bone wall are pretty favoured. I picked gravity shield because it is a conditional shield--I mean it blocks 100% of damage originating from creatures over 5hp. I hope some new card(s) will be introduced that makes something like Yaladilae's heavy quintet a viable anti FG deck concept.

You have serious quanta issues in this deck. You definitely would have to remove the fireflies--they may produce  but they're easily wiped out by creature control, and not worth the card slots. I'd suggest you modify it this way:

-6 firefly
+4  pillar, +2 fog shield

Card Ideas and Art / Re: Bird Series: Other Iittala and Toikka

« on: July 05, 2010, 12:06:27 am »

You know...the birds are a little pricey considering the sheer cheapness of flying gavels  I mean, what're you gonna do with the quanta which are firstly random, and secondly come back in a trickle? Maybe fractal as suggested but even that wouldn't be OP because you'd need  towers and playing something for 7 or 9 random may consume too much  for you to fractal the same turn, and perhaps die to creature control compelling you to pull out another one. They're very nice though Scyther, art/names have a good mystic feel to them [+Karma]

Deck Help / Re: Mono-time scarab spam w/ fate eggs

ok
EDIT: should i choose eternity when i can choose a weapon?

If you're talking about choosing a weapon for the 500 score reward, then either that or lobotomizer. Don't put it into this deck though you can't afford to clog up your hand as it will make the fractals ineffective. At first I put one in, then I removed it in favour of a few precognitions--you can choose to draw card or not, so at least you have some countermeasure for deckout.

No not like that. Try something like this:

4x Fractal
8x  Tower
10x  Tower
4x Elite Scarab
2x Elite Fate Egg
1x Turtle Shield
3x Precognition

Still mark of  of course

Since you're using 6 sundials, you don't need that many lands because while stalling you generate quanta as well. Lemme try to calibrate your deck offhand:

-1 Deflagration, -1 Dimensional Shield, -3 Quantum Pillar, -1 Eternity, -1 Elite Anubis, -1 Steal [-8]
+1 Elite Otyugh, +1 Quint, +1 Bone Wall, +1 Ice Shield, +1 Butterfly Effect [+5]

Admittedly it would be nicer to slim it further, but you ought to get the fourth hourglass and a few more towers upgraded before looking into that.
