Today I was thinking about why my air decks do so bad, I need more sofree's. So this is a quickly thrown together rather effective bronze killer. It has fast games, due to small size and simple cheap and fast firepower. I have not done stats on this, but it is a fast deck for fast rares in bronze. My games tended to be around 1 minute. It can be very customized as you wish, but the needed cards are certainly deja vu, they can be un-upped, but if most of the other cards are unupped it may be ineffective.

3 Deja Vu's in 40 cards? I'd remove precogs for 2 more deja Vu.

I know that congeal + Shockwave is a nice combo but replacing Congeal with Basilisk Blood stops the enemey creature for 6 turns, which is a lot if your deck is fast. This allows you to replace Shockwaves with Lightning or Fog Shield.

Also, you might consider to splash in there a TU and and certainly 2 Epinephrines (nice combo with Unstoppable).
Maybe remove a Blessing and a Chaos Power for Epinephrines? Or the Gravity Forces could be replaced since they tend to get in the way of unstoppables.

Thanks for the feedback, as far as 3 deja's if you get too many you spread out all your power and leave it a little less quick. The congeal+shock wave combo is for one hitting bothersome creatures, or can be used in any number of ways. The gravity forces can also be used in many ways, but the is a deck that you can customise. Eph's wont really help a deja with 19 attack power, but a tu would. Thanks!

I'd personally replace arsenic for vampire dagger;
it takes 5 turns for arsenic to catch up in damage,
and dagger also heals.
Of course, with the higher HP in arena, an arsenic may deal more damage,
and part of the damage continues working if the weapon doesn't.

also, if you have them, you might add SoW, and even SoFr
(although you intend to farm them with this, but it can be used later if you still need a few shards).

If you tune tune down the deck size, you may make the following changes:
-give up :fire mark for :time mark
-add more deja vu's
-remove quantum towers
-reduce the number of buffs so that you use no more than ~4 quanta per element.
be quick- time is quanta.

I like some of the components of this non-standard build...  the one hit shockwave+congeal combo is very effective against specific creatures, you can even stage it...  I personally would say keep it atleast, one set simply because it's a useful counter to some cards that the standard counters don't do well with.   The use of grav force is odd though to me, with momentums make it not that great of a creature counter, and although it represents the only defense you have, I wouldn't grav force yourself too much either, except in a clutch pull.

In this regard though, I would add an AoE, so +1 Thunderstorm +1 Rewind - 1 Shockwave - 1 Congeal - 1 grav force.

Instead of going for the much faster epivu, you're going for bigger creatures, sure it may be a bit slower, but hit harder and are harder for AoE to take out, definitely an advantage in that regard.  However, on pure draw odds, you will want a fourth deja vu.

+1 deja vu.

Now you have some nice CC going, a counter to almost any beginning start present, a good chance to draw your base card, some nice speed.  Your missing some defense though.  - 1 blessing + 1 fog shield

Finally, you have two critical weaknesses left, sanctuary and weapons.  you might want to think about a deflag...  but that's more of a side board, we already took out one of your buffs, and for speed purposes you probably don't want to lose another or a qt.

empowered vu decks as has already been said is amongst the most customisable but personally i would use entro pends and SNs for faster buffed vus what you do after that is entirely up to you but yes as deja vu is key you need minimum of 4
love makin my decks unusual if able. Chaos and luck are widely regarded as different i beg to differ just refer to :entropy but for those in the know also refer to :time and :death.
