So this is the basic version of my Dive deck, my first deck made.  Obviously I don't have all of these upgraded yet, but this is the goal I'm working towards.  Does anyone have any critiques?  Its pretty smooth and streamlined; the goal is to get a Wyrm or Pegasus out, massively blessed, and then hit for direct damage.  Gravity Shield and Eagle Eye hold the enemy's creatures at bay.  Sundials for stall/buildup time.  Pretty simple concept, I think.

Mark of Gravity, I assume?

Looks decent, but I think you might have more luck with a Fog Shield. Just a thought.

Whoops, sorry, yes.  Mark of Gravity.

You think taking a Gravity Shield out and putting in a Fog Shield will help?  If there's anything I can't block with the Gravity shield, and I'm desparate, I'll bless it, then block it.  Use Eagle Eye to pick off the smaller stuff.

If something is small enough to fit under Gravity Shield, EE should be able to pick it off. Using Blessing on your opponent's creatures is not a good strategy, ever.

I never said it was a good idea, just a desperate idea. :p

Namely if I don't have an Owl/Eagle Eye out.  ATM, I only have one Owl Eye.

assuming at the deck at 30 cards mean that ur a speed deck, so what are the sundials doing here?
dive+parrallel is still a better option, but thats a good try to make a good deck

At the moment, they are primarily for draw power early game; and occasionally for stall.  If I can use them to get a few extra quanta in the first two/three turns,  I can have something well setup by turn 4.

If Im not mistaken, u only have 3 of those  which is pretty unstable. Most would prefer more reliability for more card draws

How exactly is it unstable?  I usually draw at least 1 in my opening hand (there's a 1 in 3 chance when you draw your first card).  The only issue I have is the timer shield, but thats not usually an issue.

You're confusing 1 in 3 with 1 in 10. On your first card, you have a 10% chance of drawing it. Overall, you have *about* (I don't feel like going through the math) a 7/30 chance of drawing a single sundial in your hand, which is about 23.33%. Since you have 3 chances at this percent, you *should* draw a sundial in your hand about 70% of the time.

(Correct me if my math is wrong ).

Overall, I like the deck.

I don't feel like going through the math

So let the calculator do the work for you: http://stattrek.com/Tables/Hypergeometric.aspx
There's actually a 56% chance of getting at least one dial in the opening hand, with 3 dials in a 30 card deck.
