Life / Aether decks

[wizelsnarf]

Just an idea - its a slow start but very good at stalling. Maybe with +4 cards it could stall some decks out.

Very nice.
Maybe adding 1 card to prevent deckout against 30-card decks?

[wavedash]

Definitely want 31 cards, a shield can easily shut this deck down in terms of damage.

With dragons and no mitosis, I can see it having quite some success against team Time (ie perfect counter to many of their strategies).

Yes a dragon quint dimensional shield deck is an excellent idea.

I opted to go for Cockatrices instead of Horned Frogs. This deck reminds me of chemical reactions; you need a certain amount of activation energy to get started, but after that, the reaction just keeps going and going. Here, the start-up energy is the 5 Life required to play Mitosis. Once you get the 8 Life and 4 Aether to play your combo, you're set. Because of this, I added a ton of Life Pillars so you can get that 8 Life faster. By getting Life much faster, you also have a lot more quanta mid- to late-game, so you can afford Cockatrices.I haven't done much testing with Life Pendulum numbers. Two or three, not entirely sure.Six base creatures and five of each buff card is pretty standard in these kind of decks, so I just went with it.Not sure if Empathic Bond is worth it

Looks good.

Bonds will allow you to deck out the opponent +46 healing per turn +5 from staff... Not necessary if the plan is to rush but if you hit a permafrost shield or something they would be nice to have.

[edunavas]

nice decks.
Mitosis quintessence creatures are a great idea.
Maybe always putting at least one dragon, in case of big shields.
I think 20 pillars on vault are too low.

[Falcon4415]

A good counter to neurotoxin, but what about scarabs? (Pharaoh/Scarabs, Scarabtal or even Scarabtosis). Sorry for being an ass about this, it's still a great deck.
Fun fact: edunavas won against hrmmm with a scarabtal past war, but I haven't found hrmmm's deck.

[wizelsnarf]

the problem with scarabs is that it is really hard to pull off a trio.

I thought about them but the trio is hard. If you can make it work someone let me know - maybe even just 6 novas would give you 6 eats with the scarabs - that could work but...

[Falcon4415]

Sorry for the misunderstanding, I meant that the version wavedash posted was perfect vs neurotoxin but not very good against scarabs.
PS: Scarabtosis? I'm on it!
