i like it but i'm kinda scared that they'll use control on butterfly chrysaora and why no antimatter? time has some strong heavy hitters and i think they'll use them.

Antimatter can be easily be worn off with rewind.

- no UG defense
- not enough aether quanta to fractal when you're forced to chain shields. Or vice versa.

Against Life; fine-tuned, around average 8 ttw:

With defense:

More aggressive version - maybe not that good against Life, but can be useful:

A remake of the quinted crawler, with a possible double dragon suprise, or double anything. Don't know which team would suffer the most from it, yet:

Code: [Select]

[Tiko]

Ok, just some experimenting, but turned out it's the next best thing: Rush!

Code: [Select]

If  Fire can use it, why can't we? Reached the 6 ttw dreamborder several times, Steams pump up the damage really fast, and even the chrysaoras can help a bit. And it's even legal! The only bad thing is: deflag ruins the fluidness, but hey, something for something..

I doubt any would expect golems and phoenixes from us. It may worth a round.

[RavingRabbid]

Well... how would a Fog do in there?

[Tiko]

Huh, sorry for flooding the page..

A little trickster deck based on Raving's idea, posting it here, maybe it'll have it's use:

Code: [Select]

590 590 590 590 5ic 5ic 5ic 5ic 5id 5id 5ig 5ig 5jm 5jm 5jm 5jm 5jm 5jm 5jm 5jm 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rk 5rk 5rk 5rk 5t2 5t2 5t2

It isn't tweaked to it's full potential yet, but it already manages to slow a rush down from +/- 7 to +/- 12 turns on a crappy draw, and with a better draw I survived 17 turns. With a quite perfect draw, I even managed to deck the Ubah Stompy.

Cards:
EA: to keep trident and shield alive
Stone skin: to get some healing and make a OTK a lot harder
BB: control
Ice shield: control
Purify: to make a poison bolt useless
Trident: to set a bolt deck to nothing

lots of cards to counter fire stall

Tested this deck, and a variant for 10-10 games against Ubah Stompy (damn, I have to get to work..), and the results are 18-2 so far, for Stompy..
I thought first that maybe the pends are the problem, as if you don't draw enough at start, you're pretty much doomed, but after scattering the pillars, the result was the same, no matter how early I got the shield. There's just too much damage coming in early to effectively neutralize it all. And arsenic gets through the shield too, and the 2 purifies are hard to find in a deck so big. Also, you have rarely enough for stoneskin to make a big difference.

Though it destroys firestall almost completely (played only 2 games against it, won both).

We have to tweak it (speed it up) somehow. And put some damage in it.. Trident is a *must* in case of a stall.
