Dear Elementalists,

Let's match wits in a Deck Building Contest!
The objective is to build the most efficient quanta denial deck.
Some details on what I mean by efficiency for the deck:

  • Resilience to bad draws
  • Speed of setup -- how many turns it takes to setup full quanta denial
  • How hard it is to counter - best if there are no possible counters at all

WARNING! DO not peek into the spoiler below if you want to submit your deck, the spoiler contains my submission...

Spoiler for for my solution:
Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 6rp 6rp 6rp 6rp 6rp 6rp 7ee 7ee 7ee 7ee 7ee 7ee 7q9 7q9 7q9 7q9 7q9 7q9 7qb 7qb 7qb 7qb 7qb 7qb 8po

Strategy: Pull hard until you get a Relic in hand -- then you can burn all your quanta every turn by repeated use of it! Perfect quanta denial -- you deny your own ;D

Haha, got you! I never said you need to deny the opponent's quanta  :P

Efficiency:
  • All cards apart from Relic can be safely discarded -- complete bad draw resistence
  • 6/30 gives maximum chance to start with Relic in hand, if not there is plenty of fast-draw power to get it quick
  • There is no counter -- the opponent cannot prevent you from using a Relic in your hand  ;)
Roses aren't red, Violets aren't blue.
They are just a simulation, and so are you!

Well, I build this, then looked at spoiler, felt silly, but with my deck you won't have quanta to burn :P.  I deny you faster than you deny yourself XD.
My signature is too messy to read >.<
