time 2-0
air 3-2
entropy 1-1
3-1 fire
0-1 life
1-0 dark
2-1 aether

Either going to take an air, darkness, or aether mark for this one.  I already have two time and fire ones, and entropy and life were losses, so that leaves those three, since I didn't use any of the other elements that I need a 2nd mark in.  Couldn't decide, so I rolled 1d3 in chat and got 3, so from air/darkness/aether I'll take an aether one :p

For the meta, the biggest thing for me was the lack of PC other than butterfly effect, so all permanents were very strong.  The lack of quantum pillar, nova, and virtually all healing cards meant stalls were almost impossible, and the large amount of CC still left meant the best strategy in my mind was what I suppose the forum calls a 'domin' deck, so most of my strategies were based around that concept.

[Fippe94]

Built 3 decks, but only one of them actually won a game, so I'll post that

[deuce22]

odii's 2 main decks were almost identical to mine (but mine were built better ). RNG had other plans for me. I lost with pharaohs to dragons because i drew pharoahs/precogs slow and he topdecked like a boss.

Also used this gem:

Worked perfect in round 1. Unfortunately, I quantafailed hard vs dragon's pharaoh wings, which this should have countered pretty easily.

[dragonsdemesne]

Yeah, I got pretty lucky against deuce.  I think you'd have had slightly more consistency had you used either a light or time mark (I'd have picked time, since precogs are active, rather than reactive, like sundial, so are usually played earlier and need the quanta first) instead of fire, and then adjusted the quanta base accordingly.  I thought about copying his deck and using it, but in the end I just went with the ones I'd already built last night.  I am surprised you had enough fire quanta with that, though; it seems like you'd take too long getting enough to OTK.  I'm just basing this off of the results of a CL deck I tried earlier this season that is very similar. (6 bolt 6 dial, 3 fahrens, 1 mirror shield, 14 towers, light mark)

yeah, using a time mark may have been better, but the issue comes with the light quanta. Light pends/pills can't boost your fire, which as you pointed out is vital to be able to OTK. Only 7 fire towers could make RNG worse.  I calc'ed 53 fire needed to bolt x6 against 100 HP. Obviously less needed if fahr is up and hitting. In testing, i never had an issue reaching enough to beat wings stalls. Although, I always had reasonable quanta draws in testing.
