So for the first time today I felt like trying SoI. And I put this together in about five minutes, and the closest I could find to a build related to this was pre-1.32 and still used Quanta Generation.
Sure, it's not the best build. But I often win in 6-7 turns, which is quite of a "What?" for me. The best part is you can tweak around with the shards you don't like and add ones you like, such as SoW, or SoBra, or anything.
Shard yourself out.

As for the other cards, no idea if there are some less useful than SoG xP

Cool deck idea. Not a fan of the shard choices, but drawing a shard guaranteed every turn is very tempting.
To be honest, I just picked out what shards I felt like. This would be way better with SoW's, SoBra's, and possibly SoFo's. I would definitely NOT drop the SoFree's/SoV's though. Vampires are fun.
I'm trying out with divinity shards instead of SoG, not much difference so far.

...and this deck is destroyed.
And so does reverse time wreck this deck.
And so does several other cards wreck several other decks.
Sanctuary.
DBH is now useless.
Blackhole.
GG Instosis.
Discord.
GG, fractal decks.
Explosion.
GG, Dim Shields.
Rain of Fire.
GG, Fractal/Queen Spam.
And several other stuff.
I don't see how that post really is relevant, but well, to each his own. While I understand why you posted it I think it's quite obvious and need not be said.

[..] SoP because they give freez and steam ability.
Because it gets enough quanta to fuel it for proper use.

Because it's viable?
Yeah, a fully upped shard deck to grind ai3...

Wins in PVP2. I have never stated this was to grind AI3. This is a purely fun deck and you may or may not use it for anything you so desire, including AI0.

Sometimes it actually does get quanta for some uses. Including Deja-Vu, Stone Form, Scarab, Queen... Sure, only once or twice a game. =P

And why it shouldn't be posted then?It's a new and cool idea, Ai3 are still good to be grinded actually.

Imma try this out with random shards nao :P
Post by: Dm on March 18, 2013, 12:22:59 pm
just curious, why bring SoSac? what ability are you expecting to get from those? i think SoFs would be useful for momentum, and/or SoWs for immortality, but that's just me..

Well.. y'see..
...
..
.
Not going to lie. I just clicked the first shards that popped into my head and made the deck, tested it out, figured it worked, and posted it.
Entropy is the first element, death is the next element; I don't really like SoFo, so I skipped all the way to SoP. Figured SoFree would be nice, filled with Gratitude, Readiness, and Void.
It's not optimal, but it's the deck that started it all, so I posted it first. I think the optimal version would be 4 SoFree's, 4 SoBra's, 4 SoFo's, 4 SoV's, 4 SoW's, 4.. Something?
But that's the beauty of this deck (for me); you can use whatever shards you like (In whatever quantity you like). So every match is a different match, even with the same
deck; And if you were to make up a bit more of randomness, it's all good too. For example, 2 or 3 of every element, and then filling with SoI's, that's alright too. It's just to have fun.
(And even with lesser or more defensive Shards, such as SoD, SoG and SoSac, it's actually manageable to get a over 20 attack creature on the second turn. It surprised me. =P)
Anyway, try it and tell us what you found! A funnier version, or a faster one... (Or a lolzy match.)

This is what ive been using. ends up going slightly bellow 20 atk sometimes, but its pretty cool to have a huge momentumed immortal vampire on the second turn.

since I never have used SoI and rarely have encountered it, I'm interested in how this works. Do you just play SoI on turn 1?
Turn 2 since you need the :earth generated by your Mark to play it.
