An interesting EM concept for use against AI3. Inspired by the Disc/BH EM deck series (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,23293.0.html) created by kirchj33 and jmdt.

Play Discords and creatures (prioritize Vampires before other creatures) to rush, BH to deny quanta for the opponent's important cards (Dim Shield, etc.) and increase Discord's quanta-shuffling efficiency for further quanta denial, and Heals for a final EM.

Pros
+ Lots of EMs because of BH, Heals, and Vamps
+ Disc/BH base allows for faster opponent turns (by preventing them from wasting time on playing cards)

Cons
- Unstable PSN base creates situations in which you have lots of creatures and no Supernovas, or lots of Supernovas and no creatures
- Faildraws are especially bad because of the PSN mechanic
- Shields and reusable CC are huge amounts of trouble because Vampires are fragile

A Disc Em focused on tons of EMs. Cool!

With 4 Vampires, I doubt you still need 3 heals. Have you tried 2 heals + another creature, utility spell, or shield?

The PSN mechanic actually makes faildraws even worse, so there is a need for extra healing to make up for it. Also, facing lots of CC is bad news for the Vampires.

If you really wanted to take something else instead of that third Heal, then Wings, Fog Shield, Giant Frog, Minor Phoenix, or Precog are all potentially viable choices.
