So, ak65 won his battle, and this is our salvage from his match:

If ji412jo win's his match (maybe even if he loses). I can see a fractal phoenix deck of ourselves. 3x Immolation, 2x Phoenix, 1x Fractal mark of aether and we have one fractal & 2xdeflag of our own. If ji wins and we get some fire cards and get phoenix / fire pendulums etc. , we definetly can make it.

Some deck like below is already possible.

- Immolate a devourer or phoenix.
- More leaning towards fire.
- Heavy permanent control. Mark of aether to speed fractal. Cool immolates are also counted as an extra nova as they give all other quantas too.
- More of a speedbow compared to our current control based rainbow. But it still has good chunk of control cards.
- Fractal a devourer or a phoenix depending on the situation, devourer if you believe you can deny quanta, phoenix if you believe you can rush.
- I tested this deck against ai3 for half an hour. Working like a charm.
- If ji412jo wins against fire and gets some fire quanta source, we can get the 3rd fractal instead of an immolation from this deck.
- Please tell your thoughts about this, and say if we should switch any more cards.


@ak65ala: I just wanted to give you an option, you will decide in the end.

Edit: Changed the deck a little. Wings instead of antimatter.
Edit 2: Added a flying weapon & reverse time. Found out steal is slightly better than deflag, quantawise. Devourers giving darkness anyway, fire quanta is better used on phoenix & golem.
Edit3: Getting 2nd deflag, presence of arsenic, choosing between 3rd immolation vs 3rd phoenix, presence of flying weapon and amount of quantum pillars are all optional. We can also go 30+ cards which is an advantage against decking out but also a risky disadvantage as it reduce the chances to draw key cards.

[jippy99]

Remember, we can build a deck of more than 30 cards.  I would say add 1 flying weapon and maybe a forest spirit.

Yeah right, flying weapon makes sense. And reverse time is golden too. We can just throw away Steal to get a flying weapon & reverse time.

Edit: I would like to add that this deck requires less quanta source compared to control rainbow. We can even think of replacing a quantum pillar. Needs testing tho.

ji412jo is against entopy, not fire.  We'll see if he wins or loses, and I want to see who we are up against the next round and what the other matcups are before I look too deeply at this all.  Good work.

Edit:  Looking at it, it looks solid.  If entropy still has a heavy anti rainbow deck (the one I think ji will hit this round) and I go against them next round... we need to make the best deck to resist that.  This one looks to have a better shot then our disrupt-bow.  Reserving judgement till round 9 starts.

[hainkarga]

Oh my, such confusion. Me and jijo even tested againt entropy's BH deck earlier lol. I think i wanted his opponent to be fire so much to use their cards
