The only person I agree with is Bojengles because With  :time / :darkness / :earth you get the ultimate board control deck.  Oh you brought in a Golden Dragon, fine Reverse Time while I quicksand your pillars and steal your shield.  Not many decks can stand up to not being able to play anything when you nom nom their quantum with Devourers and send back their creature with no pillars.

I like Gravity. I get to rewind my Armagios while my pharaohs make fodder for catapults.
I like Aether for I've GotP Time.
I like Water for speed spamming nymphs, and rewinding creatures that are done freezing. Very nice lobotomizing and stalling at once.
I like Darkness for the rewind+nightmare and the GotP.
I like Earth for graboids and golems and BBs and rewinds and earthquakes. Any combination is nice.
I like Entropy for Eternal Chaos, my first FG deck.
Oh darn. Out f votes.

Id say Darkness simply because GotP/Nightmare/Precog has been destroying the Ai3 for me and its a fun deck to play in general.

If you are referring to those very old posts, then your best bet is to search the archive of the second war, where we used quite a lot of different devourer/time decks. I don't recall seeing those decks in any other part of the forum.

For your convenience, some links:

As you can see, we used a devourer/time deck every round we fought, which seems to prove how strong the general idea is. It worked best in unupped battles, because with unupped pillars and often more expensive cards, your opponent is easier to deny his quanta. Anyway, these decks are a bit old, and aren't optimal (because they were limited by war rules and vault), so you might consider simply designing a new deck based on this concept.

Source of quanta:
[Darkness Mark], 6 Devourers, ~10 Time Pendulums
OR
[Time Mark], 6 Devourers, ~10 Darkness Pendulums

1 to 3 weapons, Eternities and Vampire Stilettos are both great, you can add a single Animate Weapon if you like
1 to 2 shields, both Procrastinations and Dusk Mantles work
up to 6 spells, Steals and Rewinds are recommended (if you intend to steal shields/weapons, you might take less of these)
some Devonian Dragons (or GotP, which was added after the second war) and Black Dragons,

keep your quanta index slightly above 5 for both elements, you'll usually have more Time quanta in the beginning (because you can't play devourers for free like pillars), and more Darkness quanta in the end, which might affect your choice of cards (eg. many cheap time cards and few expensive darkness cards)

You might replace Devonian Dragons with Pharaohs for a tougher, growing source of damage (sadly no Devouring without :gravity), but usually dragons are better. You can also take an Electrum Hourglass if you have some spare Time quanta, but you probably don't if you intend to use Eternity. These appear in the war decks because of the limited number of cards in the war vault (especially dragons). Consider Nightfall/Eclipse, as it has both many advantages and disadvantages.
May the force of the D4HK side be with U ^_^

That was a beautiful reply. Thanks a lot! I've had a lot of fun with Earthquake/Devourer and Butterfly/Devourer decks, I will definitely try this out.
