| Mark : 3x Light |
| Creature Control : 4x Elite Otyugh, 8x Gravity Force |
| Permanent Control : None |
| Quanta control: 12x Black Hole, 4x Gravity Nymph |
This god uses black holes right from the start to drain his opponent’s quanta, and literally leaves him/her doing nothing for the first few turns. When Dark Matter finally refrains from sucking up all the quanta, he already has chargers and archangels for damage and Elite Otyugh for major creature control.
Strategy:
Though he is one of the hardest gods to beat, certain decks have some chance.
Mono-aether : his chargers go right through the shields. And so do his titans, which you can’t lobotomize. And the controls will keep you from getting the quanta needed to play the phase shields.
Rainbow : the god heals himself for even more HP using black holes. Blocking momentum is a tall order for quanta-deprived decks.
Hope : It could work, but a lobotomizer is essential, since otyughs can eat up Ray of Light easily and chargers have momentum.
Poison stall: If you use quanta as you generate it, DM can't sap off much quanta for healing. He can't do much about your SoSac's either.
Another FG where having three Electrocutors in your Hope deck pays off. Your main problem will be setting up quickly enough due to his Black Holes and surviving his momentum until you can lobotomise it away, so more towers, sancts, and sundials help a lot. Don’t play your last RoL/Archangel/Light Dragon unless you can Fractal it. You’ll likely need to spend another Fractal or two on the RoL’s to speed the quanta gain up and compensate for his Gravity Forces. Without enough healing, this FG will rush Hope fairly often, but at least he’s no Gemini.
Oracle Counter
The best known counter to Dark Matter is Mono Aether. Being a mono deck, Black Holes have minimal effect, and Dark Matter has no permanent control to get rid of Phase Shields.

Non-upgraded and rareless is trickier, because of Blessings (on Elite Chargers) and Momentum (on anything else). He only has 2 of each, so try to use Lightning on all the Chargers.
