multi-purpose

[ishner]

this is my deck:
the un-upped cards (other than the firefly queens) will be upped as soon as i get enough 
the general philosophy of this deck is that if you have enough different win conditions you are sure to achieve one of them.

in testing against half-bloods i got:
1 loss
2 regular victories
12 EMs

it has multiple stratagems running at once:

• mindgates + quantum towers = ability to play several copies of each card your opponent draws
• fire shield = dead enemy creatures
• shard of focus = PC + dead creatures + black holes
• black holes = healing + quanta deprivation
• dead creatures + graveyards = lots of upped skeletons on your side
• upped skeletons + eternity = random upped creatures (some weak some strong)
• un-upped firefly queen = lost of weak creatures + lots of light quanta
• lots of light quanta + miracles = EPIC healing
• weak creatures + fallen druid = mutants
• mutants/random upped creatures + quantum towers = ability to use any abilities the creatures may have
• lots of creatures + empathic bond = EPIC healing (upward of 80/turn in late game)
• steal + quantum towers = PC + ability to use what ever permanents the enemy has
• heal = early game healing
• eternity = no deck-out + draw lock
• fallen druid + eternity = hard CC vs mono decks or soft CC vs rainbow decks
• many electrum hourglasses + time mark = plat 60 card deck faster than others play 30 card deck (on average)
• miracle + any other heal in last turn = EM

in an average game about 2/3 of there stratagems come into play.
if more than 1/3 of them come into play you will almost certainly win.
quanta is a bit tight in early game but i think this will be fixed when i finish upgrading.

a few tips on how to play:

• don't risk getting your fallen druids killed unless you have stuff for them to mutate or NEED healing via empathic bond
• the MOST important thing is drawing cards.
• don't have more than 4 hourglasses out. (the deck has 6 to increase draw chance)
• activate one mind gate and decide if you like the card before activating the others
• once you have less than 10 cards in your deck stop using hourglasses and rely on mindgates

i am interested in any suggestions that people may have.
