Here's the first deck I made with the trainer.
Basic Fractal Pest but with added shield support.
Your pests gain lots of quantum per turn, how do you spend it? With Dissipation shields!
Protect Artifact keeps the shield alive.
Butterfly Effect can help with annoying shields, weapons, or shards.
Eclipse can also be protected, as it is the only way to attack (other than two dragons and the dagger)

Deck's known weaknesses:
Titanium or Diamond Shield - Even with BE, because those shields are earth, the can be protected.
Jade Shield


I don't have any upped cards, so I can't really test this.
And I don't even know what ttw and all those short terms mean.
So I do not have any statistics about the deck, but I think it would work good.

Feedback?

nice idea if your engine start to work.

It has some difficult opponents: cremas fire deck with firestorm will destroy your deck. One protected shield (reflect shield) can finish this.

Anyway less fractal and more aether tower to speed up your engine. I know you need earth mark because PA, but it is wasting

[Jappert]

Scottish is right. Using earth mark for 2 PA's in a 40 card deck is just a waste of quanta. Drop the PA's and get some more aether towers in.

Maybe also try adding in a few pendulums. You'd have to test it to see how the balance should be (with the pests also creating ). But I am pretty sure you will get weird draws like this, like 2 Diss. Shields and no Entropy Towers or the other way around. Same goes for Aether Towers + Fractal.

Also, you can test it in the trainer. Good work on your first trainer-deck btw!

burrowing pests... all earth quanta will be used, none are "wasted"

You're wasting Earth quanta Burrowing your Pests.

[scottish]

yep, i forget about burrowing. BTW the shield problem is still here.

You're wasting Earth quanta Burrowing your Pests.

Burrowing some can save them from CC, it is not a waste
I thought I could use up my earth quanta both using PA and burrowing.
Also the shield can take any kind of quanta, so it can take some earth too.
I was going to use pendulums originally, but I wasn't sure...
I'll think about it some more.

Also, you can test it in the trainer. Good work on your first trainer-deck btw!

Thanks!

To be quite honest, I would take out all fractals in favour of Twin Universe, and Momentum. Maybe some chargers too,and some Supernovas, since you have  towers. Just the thing about shields being the problem makes me think this deck could use Momentum, but I am not too sure how it would work out.

[Tea is good]

fewer fractals tends to work better. i find 4 to be an optimal amount.
