Hi

here's the deck I've been running lately, the basic strategy is to use a bunch of cheap creatures that either help with quanta generation or creature control. Then you mutate them for the kill.

The ??? is a mindgate

What I like about it:
It's a good, solid deck for grinding T50 and AI5 with a high % EM, and it frequently EMs with 120 hp. The randomness of it keeps grinding from getting dull and I avoided being a copy of most of the grinders seen in the T50. There's nothing the deck is unable to deal with-it's possible to beat just about any sort of deck out there with this (although odds of success are obviously better in some cases than others)

It can beat some FGs, but I haven't tested it thoroughly yet.

What I would like to fix:
It can run a bit short on :death and :aether quanta at times. It can be a little too luck dependent at times. It has trouble with the classic FG killer rainbow which is encountered quite often in T50. It's also vulnerable to permanent control and mass CC, especially steal & RoF.

What I've experimented with so far:
Aflatoxin/grey nymph instead of boneyards- it was too slow.
Another bloodsucker instead of toadfish- this was actually the original design. I made the switch to use less :death quanta
Eternity- doesn't play well with this deck. The damage potential is so high decking out isn't really a concern, and it just slowed things down and I ran short on :time quanta.
Pharoh- to much demand for :time and :gravity quanta, and pharoh plays best in groups.
SoG instead of bonds- less risk of being rushed, but much less EMs
Arctic Squid: non-lethal CC doesn't play well with boneyards
