Before anyone mentions it, the air quanta, believe it or not, is fine. Though if you think otherwise, swap two pillars for pendulums.
Purpose of everything:
Nymphs: extra damage + draw accel, can swap for ghosts if you have none.
Ghosts: again, just damage, didn't want to make it to slow.
Eternity + wings + shockwaves= stall, or in the case of shockwaves, a last ditch damage if you need it.
Fireflys provide the quanta for the explosions.
Anyways, to my point. This deck feels like its missing something. It functions decently, but i have a feeling it could be even better.
So, any ideas?

i dont get it whats the synergy hereFunny you mention the one thing i didn't think of. None really. But i wanted a good way for a mostly time based deck to have a little perm control. And i manage to succeed in some sense. And before anyone mentions it would be easier to use a fire mark, i don't wanna, to easy, and i wanted to try my hand at a trio.

I changed the pends with damsels for faster air access. Then I changed Shockwave for Eagles Eye and Animate Weapon. This way you can have two CC weapons at the same time.
Also you can so reverse creatures stopped by wings and kill the others with eagles eye. Though you may want to use Imp Fog because eagles eye costs a lot of air + skill.
Also procrastination may be an option as creatures do less damage while you can hit them with eagles eye. Not sure what's best here, also I don't know how my version does compared to yours :)
It's just a suggestion you may want to try :)

while the flies were a nice idea, the quanta from the pendulums allows for faster nymph/ghost/eternity.
And as much as i like the idea sev, I want to keep it a trio.

Slight thing i forgot to mention, the deck is rather heavy on time quanta despite only having 6 cards for time.What if you'd use unupped ghosts then? Or change one ghost for procastination (though 3 shields may be too many?).
while the flies were a nice idea, the quanta from the pendulums allows for faster nymph/ghost/eternity.
Imo, :air is used for starting damage (now you have damsels as additional damage) and cc decoy while collecting :time quanta to hit hard afterwards.
I like the idea by the way. I rarely see :air and :time (and :fire) in one deck ;)

maybe ten pillars, mark of time, 6 damsels? I'll toy with the idea a bit when i get time.

I could try with unupped ghosts, but most of the time usage comes from eternity's and nymphs, which i usually play first. I'll consider the idea though, but i still think 10 pillars is to few.what if you'd take your initial build and just change mark and pends (though that might be tight on :air)?

Possibly a little bit low on damage, but the quanta seems to be well distributed and it works pretty well in AI3- can't check anywhere else really in Trainer. The Mark means you're always sorted for the Explosions and probably have a little to spare.
Hope I haven't changed it too much- it is pretttty different, but I increased the Shockwave CC which you said you liked

I did make another build earlier,, took out the ghosts and pendulums for damsel flies and changed mark to time, it runs fine, still needs more testing.I could try with unupped ghosts, but most of the time usage comes from eternity's and nymphs, which i usually play first.

Edit: After some testing, it seems the deck is to high on time quanta and air is also really high to.
This is the version i have been testing, maybe removing a time tower or two for some air cards, but i'm not sure yet.

Probably less quanta balanced, but I found that eternity draw-lock is very nice.
Post by: omegareaper7 on February 13, 2012, 06:19:51 pm
I have however found a version i like and i think i might stick with.
I think i finally got the balance just right. A bit rough on a bad draw, but still recoverable.

Love it, needs SoRes. Playing for ele to test.You can use the Trainer to test out decks.
