This deck is fairly simple, get out a Mindgate quickly to start copying your opponent's deck, beating them down while stalling with Dimensional Shield, or use Parallel Universe or Fractal. Stall with shields until you can get the deck rolling. If you need some creature removal, drop the Scarab and fractal it, in case of Hope, Bone Wall, Dimensional / Dissipation Shield, Diamond Shield, etc., later in the game you can Chimera everything you have out for the win. This works especially great against QuantumT's hope deck, Chimera all the Ray of Light you collect and momentum straight past his shield. Poison? No problem! Just wait until it stacks up and drop a Purify.

It takes a while to kill most of the decks in T50, but it practically eliminates annoying losses.

Upgrade Aether Pillars / Pendulums first, then do the Quantums, speed is of the essence. After that it really doesn't matter.

Alternate build for some RNG fun: Replace Antimatter with Pandemonium!


This is a fun deck I built this morning messing around on the trainer, it seemed to do pretty well against top 50 (reverses their strategies while offering more defense) so I decided to build it on my account and try it out in pvp. So far I've won 17/19 games with it, the 2 losses resulting from steal and deflagration, and about 7 of those games the opponent decided to leave part of the way through.

The basic strategy is to stall with Dimensional and Dissipation Shields, and Antimatter, while building up your opponent's strategy with mindgate.

It has a severe weakness to permanent control and momentum, and poison-heavy decks cause some problems unless you can get multiple mindgates out to out-poison them.

Other than that it's a fun deck to play, you get to see a lot of different strategies and you'll never play the same deck twice... unless you play AGAINST the same deck twice that is.

I suppose it could work against false gods if you got a really good hand and they weren't too happy with the perm control, but don't get your hopes up, this is mostly a Top 50 / PvP deck.

Hey, my name is Jeremy. I've been playing TCGs since Magic 5th edition came out, and I just recently found elements through a friend of mine who plays it while waiting to get into his realm on WoW. I think it's an awesome game, the strategy is deep enough to keep me interested while not being so complex that it's impossible to know what cards you'll face. It reminds me a bit of block constructed play in MTG where you only have a pool of 5-6 sets to choose from at any given time.

I hope that I can bring some fresh ideas to the game, as well as make myself into a respected member of the community.
