Worked swell when I drew my Fahren. My main concern is how often you're going to draw one in time. I drew it through half the deck, and I wasn't far from decking out. I guess I'd do -1 Rewind, +1 Fahren. Didn't seem to need Rewinds at all, but I see the emergency value in them.

i wouldnt advise using mono aether vs any other FGs

I'm guessing you mean monoaether isn't a generally advisable FG deck? Because it slaughters many other FG's when you know they're coming, such as Destiny and Neptune. With Lobo, you can add Osiris and Fire Queen to that list.

I agree Monoaether doesn't win enough to be advisable as your go-to FG deck (unupped), but it does work for raking in cash. As long as you're fine with skipping some, relatively slow games and a winrate of around 25-30%. Upped, it's one of the best.

Because it slaughters many other FG's when you know they're coming, such as Destiny and Neptune.

Well Neptune has permafrost to counter all your immortal creatures... and usually against FG mono aether usually needs another element to support it, (Protect Artifacts, Deflags, etc.)

[Higurashi]

Nope. Monoaether without Deflags is better for consistency, imo. You just need to pack enough damage and you'll never deck out unless he gets it out second turn. Even then he can lose. It really wins the majority of games if it's not poorly built, and even then it's fine if it's upped.

'when you know they're coming' is completely offbase when what i had mentioned is meant to be regarded as a general statement
similarly,

i wouldnt advise using vulture+bonewall+thunderstorm vs any other FGs

when you know EP is coming, by all mean, please use vulture+bonewall+thunderstorm

just because you're currently representing the element Aether doesnt mean you have to be gung-ho about a statement i made 3 months ago? come on now

also, mono aether used to be the premier anti-FG deck in the early days when there was only a handful of them (i wasnt around back then but i read a lot that mention them) so mono aether USED to be good but with a lot of newer FGs having PC, their winrate drop
not to say they're bad but why  would you use a deck with 30%~35% winrate when you can use something that has 50%+ or in case of specific anti-FG like vulture+bonewall+thunderstorm with higher winrate

also, next time, please quote everything that are related and in this case my whole post on the matter to see the big picture

your tricked up mono aether is a fine example of the power of mono aether vs false gods with no PCs
i wouldnt advise using mono aether vs any other FGs (although there are some variation, some of those can be found in other anti-FG decks) but paradox is truly a cakewalk with this deck

'when you know they're coming' is completely offbase when what i had mentioned is meant to be regarded as a general statement

That's literally why I asked if it's what you meant. I don't see any room for misunderstanding there. x)

just because you're currently representing the element Aether doesnt mean you have to be gung-ho about a statement i made 3 months ago? come on now

I have no idea what to say to this. I even list the reasons why it sucks, so I have absolutely no idea how you can think I'm doing anything but saying it works, but it's not good. How you can interpret that as being gung-ho is just baffling.

You said any other and meant generally. That's the only clarification that was relevant, and thus the only thing I quoted. The rest of the post doesn't affect that, but the reason I suspected you meant generally is because of the rest of the post. I read the mood of it. Quoting it is pointless for that.

Not everyone's out to get you, kobis. You'll feel better if you don't turn flowers into thorns.

This is funnier, and should hold the same %

Upgraded everything except some pillars and the flayers. I won, but it was close.

First of all, Paradox will get some damage going before you get your hope shield up. Then he can buff a creature to hit through your Hope shield, so you'll still take soem damage. (I had to get 14 RoL's on the field to be safe).
Secondly Mindgate will fill your hand with hourglasses and deja-vu's. This resulted in almost decking out. He used 3 Miracles and a lucky mindgated TU won me the game in the end.

Get a crimson dragon as a pet awesome right? wrong TU plus blessing = your downfall

Fat upped deck with plenty of rare but work great and grant huge EM reward.

Bad draw happens as there is a lot of cards but not so often.
Shields are upped because you want his RoL to stay alive in order for him to play cards and deck him out.

Waah, no hope in the deck. 4 hopes were not enough to avoid death by a thousand cuts.

Very close to decking out... luckily my pet was a dragonfly, and rewinds kept me in it... probably would've helped if I had more then 2 towers until 12 cards left in the deck

[TheForbiddenOracle]

Feel sad today... got crushed in 4 turns with the same deck

[Zee_n1]

Jesus! Paradox has been killing me. That's the second game in a row where I went 9 turns without him drawing a single RoL. Doesn't help that I was using two different versions of the fractal/hope deck.
