Maxwell's Silver...Buckler

[jmdt]

Deck Helper comment: 
This deck was posted before the 1.32 game update and as a result may work very differently now.  Use at your own risk.
This deck started as an attempt at an anti-rush PvP deck featuring Maxwell's demon.  After some experimentation, I found that bloodsuckers are good compliments to maxwell's to whittle hp down.  The carapace was also added for the same reason.  I had eagle eye's at first, but switched to pulverizers to add perm control in as there is plenty of CC already.  I had a few more cards, but slimmed down the deck and got better results.  I stopped frogtal and a shrieker rush in their tracks with this deck.  I realized this deck had fg potential after a bit and started modifying.

After sitting a while, I decided to finally work on a propper fg killer with lots of help for Sal.  The carapaces, once the centerpiece of the deck gave way to bucklers.  With life and water quanta open spectres are added as damage.  A few amethyst towers are added to speed up the maxwells.

The deck is a propped fg killer with about a 45% win rate.  Not as high as decks such as CCYB or as fast as RoL/hope, but much more fun to play.  Its still a work in progress, so let me know any suggestions for improvement.

Here is the first stab at a fg deck.  It wasn't great, but was proof the concpt could work.

This is the first version of the deck I through together for PvP.  It lacked lacks huge damage potential, but it has enough CC to make the opponent cry.  I will come up with an updated PvP verson one of these days

what does it kill exactly?

what does it kill exactly?

I made it as an annoying PvP deck.  As a secondary motive, I was looking for an annoying deck I could put up in t50 to kill off most decks when I was feeling  .

It's basically a bunch of CC with pulvy for some added PC.

Nice deck, tried in two games againt t-50 I won both but it is very slow.

Possible FG killing deck if you add an Eternity?

Yeah I've been working on some more revisions to make it faster.  The most recent version I have tested removed a quantum pillar for an arctic dragon with lots of success.  The dragon gives the deck much more damage/speed.

The bloodsucker/maxwell's/carapace combo could rip through a number of fg's critters.  A quinted maxwell's could single handedly take down all of graviton and hermes nasty critters that are normally certain death.  With the aid of bloodsucker and carapace, hard hitters such as miracle's blessed dragons would fall to a single paradox.  I may have to try this versus some fg and see how it works.

It could probably defeat several fg without eternity with some tweaking for more damage.  I have put in an arctic dragon for damage, but if I removed 1 or both fire storm and added a destroyer it would definately add a larger damage potential.  I'll have to explore this a bit more.

I edited this deck with some more damage.  This deck is shown in the 1st post.  First game out I dominated Gemini and all he had to TU was my maxwell's and their 3 attack.  I'll have to test some more to see how this works against more fg's.  On a side note, Steam Machine is much better than I though after testing.

If you are going to quint Steam Machine, unuped version cost 1 less for the same effect (well, upped resist more time against Fire Shield)

I am trying the second deck. I'll tell you what I think after a few games.

So far I'm batting about 50% with the second deck, but that's only 6 games in.  Yeah, the unupped steam machine may be better.  However with 15 hp the upped version doesn't immediately need a quint.

First game against Morte I've won with 5 cards left, I thought I was going to deck out due to bonewall.

Second game easy win versus Destiny.EM

Third game, easy win against Neptune.EM

Im going to try this deck, and thanks for modifying it
Edit: Another possible way to add more damage is add a Graveyard and a Fallen Druid.
Edit: Shouldnt Thorn Carpace be unupgraded so they can kill the little 1/1 guys?
