Pure insanity from Team Death here; I totally didn't see this deck coming o:
Game 1
I see a Fire mark and suppose that it's a Death rush with Phoenixes and Deflags for support. But then comes an Aether Pillar and I go "waitwhat?" O_o
I had a good quanta start, but my first Devourer came nervously late. Luckily, Marv only had 1 Aether Pillar out for a while, so their Fractix didn't manage to go off. I Fractalled my Devourer, reached semi-lockdown (drained all his :aether quanta), and eventually followed it up with a Fractal of Vampires just in the nick of time. Marv did cast Plague once, but I was in control by that time.
Game 2
Marv goes after my Aether quanta with Pillar destruction in an attempt to slow down my first Fractal. Ultimately, the Fractal of Devourers pre-empted the Fractal of Minor Phoenixes, and I achieved lockdown. It was as good as won for me when I got in a Fractal of Vampires.
GG, Marv. Compliments to the deckbuilders at Team Death for making something so unexpected ;)

There was nothing, absolutely nothing to do. As you see, my deck hadnt even a proper number of aether pillars to fractal fast, and vs a quanta denial deck, nothing I could do.
Game 1: no aether pillars in hand, oh, great. I started to attack with 3MP, and arsenic (soon stolen). When he had like 35 HP and had already quanta locked me, he fractaled vampires. Goodbye.
Game 2: I even tried to destroy his aether pillars to delay his fractal, but not enough, he also put some Pests in play and delayed my fractal, too. In my last turn with quanta I miraculously played the fractal, but had no quanta to play any more MPs (had 2 pillars and 1 pendulum from start, so got little fire quanta all the game).
Thanks to team aether for providing me this frustrating games. Too easy beat in rags decks from almost eliminated teams, huh?
