This deck is a hundred times better than Shakars. I gain in score with it. The winrate is insane. Whereas Shakars is haphazard in what you draw this deck just burns through the deck until you get what you need and you win without luck.
Morte Incarnate and Dark Matter is hard due to bonesheild and BH. (but ive killed morte once)
akebono and gravitron and gemini are hard but not with god starts or their slow opening after all you can win in only 9 turns.

All the rest is quite simple really. The abuse of Cloak have to be rectified soon, its basically a fulltime CC and PC that is indestructible since the Ai wont touch it. This deck beats all the cashcow FGs (dg decay octane osiris lionheart paradox etc) with EASE and Eternal often.

I just beat rainbow, I think thats the first time I've ever beaten it.

Okay, Rasta's version looks boss. Better than when I tried this idea. Definitely gonna try this out.

i prefer a sundial instead of the 3rd hourglass but everything is the same as rasta (and noobiecakes)
and 3shield/4cloak combo is imba when you're burning through your deck like a madmen
i doubt cloak will get nerfed after just getting a facelift that made this possible but no doubt zanz will tweak the AI to prioritize cloak in future patch if this kind of deck is going to be popular and believe me, it will
this is the new face of rush style anti-FG deck

In fact this deck worked in 1.26 already. In my opinion Cloak is imba now - against the AI at least. Which is part of the reason why I posted this deck (idea).

this deck is the best

the ?? is nothing

[collimatrix]

Yikes.  This definitely does work.

Once the AI is tweaked to target cloaks it'll still work beautifully against seism and any of the no-PC gods.  Dunno if the win rate will be better than Shakars or a top-notch ROL/fractal by that point.

I think when cloak gets balanced the deck will still be a favorite. It's not so much that the AI neglects cloak, but the feeling of having dragons with 20+ damage delivering a finishing blow in 10 turns.

im gonna try this.
but i'd take a mark (i dont see much problems with getting these 2 entropy for the snovas).
and i think i check out, if a chimera is possible in here.

Using almost the exact same deck (+1HG, -1 Miracle, +1 Snova, -1 QT, +1 Ivory, -1 Amethyst, fully upped) I just defeated, in a row: Paradox, Lionheart and Ferox. I know 3 games is not much, but this deck has the strengths of mono-Aether and half it's weaknesses. I LOVE it.

And this proves picture bias (correlated with Art bias in card ideas)

[Higurashi]

Nope, it proves I don't give a damn about who did what. Never have, never will.

[teffy]

I like the deck idea. Great work.
I would add some sundials.
