If you have trouble with quanta, just do -2 Immortals, +2 Aether Pillars.
if you want a cheaper deck the standard mono aether is cheaper and works wonders too Code: [Select]61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61t 61t 61t 61t 61t 61t 61v 61v 61v 61v 61v 61v
61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61o 61t 61t 61t 61t 61t 61t 61v 61v 61v 61v 61v 61v
Yes, it's either that or inability to keep cards in hand (hence the "keep shields on hand" comment), which comes from quanta issues. Since you can't power HG's off mark and you're likely to deck out if you do use them because Permafrosts are the bigger issue, I did not provide a solution for draw power. It's good for an unupped deck and will win most of the time. In fact, it's not that it's a bad counter, just RNG with Dims as happens with all Dim decks.
