Mindgate 500EM

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 is designed to give you 500 health EM victories over half-bloods in the least amount of time possible.  It is also a fun deck to play, because it changes each game given that all your creatures come from your mindgates.  The goal is build up your earth to above 75 and then us the stone skin to build your health to around 425.  Save the last stone skin for the kill shot to ensure an EM victory (If you get your health over 500 it counts as an EM even if isn't full b/c it will automatically drop down to 500).  The black Hole is there just for healing if needed (unlike Miracle, BH will take you to 100% full health).  Given the earth mark, the diamond shields are there if you need protection early in the game.  To build a huge army at the end, just us your eternity to rewind one of the HB's creatures and make copies with your mindgates. 

A 500 EM victory over a half-blood will give you 280 electrum and increase your score by 165.  This is the best way I've found to increase your score.

Is this true? I would have though it'd give the normal 80 elec. If this is true however it seems like an entertaining and good way to make some elec.

I would like confirmation by others ^^

Effectively, if you have more than 100 hp when you win, you get more electrum (dunno if score), and if you EM, well, you get double electrum (as usual). The cap is at 500 hp, to avoid crazy electrum/score gain.

Regarding the deck, I dunno about 500 hp EM's, but seems like it needs some tweaking (and BH is a good idea, since every AI5 I know has a quantum tower, but I don't think only 1 is practical)...

With the recent StoneSkin buff you don't need SoD's at all. I know 6 SS can fill hour hand sometimes, but if you have more than 30 play one SS and you'll get the 500HP. That means you can free 5 valuable slots (-6 SoD +1 SS) in your deck to put in some steals, afla's... or just leave it 55 cards.

It's a fun one, but really slow.

Yeah it does seem a bit slow.. I guess it's a good deck to use if you know that you're going to invest a lot of time on Elements.

I've tried that but found the SoDs are better b/c you can play them early in the game when you are most vulnerable and it reduces the odds of getting a hand full of SS that can't be played for many turns.  Speed isn't really an issue b/c late in the game you have 4 hourglasses running, which will allow you to rip through your remaining cards (but that is only if you need to find that last SS or Miracle in order to get the EM).

D= This is not a deck for most score in the fastest time possible. It's OK, there's better, but AI3 is arguably best for score.

1. No Darkness quanta is used. have you considered Improved Steal? The higher cost compared to Explosion is negligible considering the high number of Pillars.

2. Your only permanent control is two Explosions. Adding a Pulverizer, Quintessence, and Crusader (or two) would make this deck work a lot smoother in my opinion.

3. It's been said already, but 5 Divinities is sort of overkill. I'm having more success with 6 Gratitudes and one Purify.
