[jmdt]

So why haven't I tried a mark PSN EM deck yet?  Here is yet another deck in my EM series.  Enjoy.

All comments and suggestions welcome.

if you dont have supernovas then you would have to go with a regular life deck with maybe regular novas and control splashed in. so yeah you have to up supernovas first.

Already met it in T50 twice before you posted this (both you, Jmdt, and Luis-something).
It was quite fierce, but could beat it with ease with your own Healbow T50 version.

The heals certainly make it hard to beat, and those come out consistently. I don't think the Chaos Powers are the best choice without an Entropy mark however.

My suggestion would be:
- 3 Chaos Power
+ 2 Explosion (for both AI3 and T50 this seems vital to me, those shields....)
+ ehm.... wings/fog/charger/wyrm/precog?

Chaos Powers are used in a lot of PSN decks because of the entropy quanta they can get with pendulums. You only need a small amount to set the deck off.

[Jappert]

Agreed, but I still think explosion would be a key card for both AI3 and T50.

Well, if the 4 Heals are still causing issues then I suppose it would be fine to do -1 Improved Heal, -1 Chaos Power, +2 Explosion.  But I can't say how beneficial that will be to the deck's speed/EMing ability.

[jmdt]

Will 2 daggers, I'm debating on that 4th heal.  I always seem to have a heal when I don't need one, but has a small sample still.  I may try 5 frogs and 3 heals just to see what happens.

I tested 50 games posted for the purposes of my efficiency study and it looks pretty great early on.  Its definitely towards the top tier in efficiency.

50 games is a little early to tell for sure, but I'll keep you updated as I work my way through more games with all the decks.

Very nice.  Did it seem like too many heals, or about the right balance.  It has a good EM rate, but I'd like it to be a bit faster.  Can't have everything, lol.

Seems a little short on healing as a result of being short on damage.  I think dropping a heal would really dip its EM rate low though.  I'm sure if anyone can fix it you're the man for the job!

How would -1 SN +1 large cock work?

[jmdt]

I tried it with 5 frogs and 3 heals.  It was definately faster, but not sure if its more efficient though.  Frogs die much easier, but launch better on the 1st turn as well.

[Ekki]

Well, you want to make it more EM-ish. I think that if you drop one heal and add more attack power, you'll be able to win quicker, thus higher EM chance. Maybe you could even add a Haxx Fog Shield, it could help.
