I have only played 40 games with it but out of 40 it has won 33 which is an 82.5% win rate. 7.5% of that being EM's.
Basic tactics are just stalling with shield and copying what the opponent has or stealing it.
Disadvantages are other stall decks with immortals, etc.
Sometimes I dont get enough pillars, but it usally works out. Ill post updated stats when I play more games.
Thoughts?

Also: Im not sure if something similar has been posted before as I am relatively new. So if it has sorry!

I'd drop the mind flayers who are eating up your precious, precious aether and swap them out for a chrysora and an arsenic. Also, -2 PU, I dont think that many are needed and your deck needs some speed. Maybe add an electrum hourglass.

Why not 30 cards mono aether dim shields and PU? Your version has a bit more control and damage, but if the whole strategy is just "hide behind shields and copy stuff" I feel this would work better:

Swap pillar for lobo if you have one.

It seems like it would make your deck pretty vulnerable if it didn't have something of its own to copy. What if you go against a poison stall or an immortal mono aether?

I was kind of expecting Mindgate from the title, though.

Every deck has its counters. I think more stability and speed in exchange that risk is worth it. (Although this is bronze, so who knows. I have been seeing more psions in play instead of immortals even in those mono aethers)

I thought about dropping them but i dont always have to use the ability and I have come across some decks with Destroy which totally negates all of my shields.

Lobo might work in exchange for the mind flayers, except when fire decks destroy my weapons. I keep the steals for taking their permanents. I have come across other mono aether decks and stolen their DS's and maintained my shield for longer.

I also have come across 5 games with mono aether immortals. Steal helps a bit. One game the opponent carded out as I stole two of his shields, delayed with mine, and healed a couple times. I have won 3/5 games against them. They seem to be one of the toughest as they just lightning my only golems and leave me nothing to copy.



Thank you guys for the input I really appreciate it. I have been toying with reducing quantums and adding more aether pillars as it is sometimes tough to keep up the shields and deploy PU's. Thoughts?

So was I, and I saw Eternity and thought, what?...

I had thought about that and decided against it as it would take 5 aether, one turn, then another 2 just to get a random card from their deck. It would take up space and soak up a lot of aether that is needed for other cards. It wouldnt guarantee me any good card. This way its more reliable and i can choose what to copy or steal for 2 darkness. Eternity is just to throw back creatures and I also have no other time using cards so it is easier to get out.
