Mindgate Rainbow

[Hodari]

I put this deck together just after the new cards were released and been getting probably 80-90% win rate in pvp2 with it since then:

? ? ?'s are 4 time pendulums and 6 mindgates.

Basically the idea is just to stall and use your opponent's deck against them with mindgates, steals, and twin universe.  Mono dark decks seem to do well against this for some reason and fire rush can be a problem as well but otherwise it's been very strong so far.  This deck has almost no offense of its own so a lot of wins have come by decking my opponent out(considering adding a few more cards to bring it up to 60 and/or adding at least one creature of my own to use eternity on to prevent running out of cards myself but so far this hasn't been a problem and the deck overall works so well, I'm not sure I want to mess that up).  Mastery wins are also very common due to the strong shields(between my own quantum towers and all the ones I steal from opponents, dissipation shield is particularly strong by the later stages of the game) and combination of miracle/heals just before the last turn(of course if your opponent has shards in their deck, grabbing as many copies of those as possible never hurts either  )

I use shards and more phase shields. I've seen mindgate decks that look like mono aether with mindgate instead of creatures in the top 50. 30-35 cards. Is A large stall deck more effective? Or Something like this?

This can work too. THe mindgate rainbow can also work. Would have ot test it and see whether more stalling (yours) would be as or more effective than a mono aether one.

I was just trying you deck out. It's great!!! I ran into some problems with a poison deck. I would recommend adding a purify or two in the deck. Even if you don't need it against other decks, it's still +2 health every turn you stall with the shields. What do you think?
