Deck Helper comment: 
This deck was posted before the 1.32 game update and as a result may work very differently now.  Use at your own risk.

The blank cards are SoFs. Deck does pretty well in trainer and even beats a few FGs. Note that the best time to Cata SoFs is when they're at 45 HP, though if you're playing a rainbow deck you might as well get the BH.

It's frequently useful (as in, when your opponent has no perms left to destroy) to activate the SoFs' skills anyway and then cancel, so they gain 15 HP.

Note: Upped SoF seems to generate an unupped BH. Is this intended?

EDIT: Screenies!

Divine Glory can't stop the SoF.

Lionheart, your perms seem to have all disappeared.

You'd think tons and tons of BHs would be enough to stop a rainbow, right? Not this time.

Yes, the generated BH is an intended effect.

Yes, I am also wondering if it is a mistake for upped SoF to generate a unupped BH. It dosen't seem to fir for some reason.

About your deck - you only ever use 2 elements, :gravity and  :aether. What's the point of supernovas? Why not just use gravity towers or pends and change mark to gravity/aether?

Interesting question, but this may be the answer.
Unupped SoF cost 6 random quanta ( 4 upped), that could be too many, when you use fractal. with 6 Supernovas, you can pay these 6 random quanta much better.

Wowow that means with 1 supernova, you can summon 7 SoF's from fractal. That is such a lot of PC.

Yeah, that had me stumped for a bit, too, but it's to pay for the colourless shard costs more easily.  I had been about to suggest unupped novas so he didn't need entropy mark, but after thinking about it, I think it is probably better the way he did it, since supernova gives 10 more quanta.

I'm still trying to decide whether this or majofa's discord/black hole/SoF deck showcases most appropriately the broken uberness of shard of focus :p  Majofa's was more my play style, but they're both really, really, really mean.

plenty of room for alterations, i like gravity pull on a creature that can heal itself for 15 hp each turn.  the titan may be out of place but it was just a first go at the deck.  it worked well, didnt even need the black holes. at some point i had to switch to destroying my own pends because i didnt need them anymore and the opponent wasnt putting more perms out.

Yo dawg, we heard you like shards, so we let you mitosis your shard of focus so you can put shard of readiness on your shard of focus and let you use more shards with your other shards.
