Phoenix

045lg015sf056qr0478104785057la017js017kf047kk017k2018pq

Notable Issues: Relies on a very specific set of combos, as a result, consistency is impacted, but works more often than not. Would appreciate help tuning to be more consistent. Has trouble dealing with dragon rushes from Phoenix.

Dispersion + Metamorphosis to fast charge Earth Quanta. Unless you're desperate, before playing Stonewall, make sure you also have an Imbue + Mirror Shield (this is to give Stonewall immaterial + Reflective). Final Shield combo needs to be Stonewall x2 + Mirror Shield + Appreciation in order to get 500 HP EM. Save 1 Dispersion for Disp+Reinforce to prevent deckout. Use Miracle + Holy Light at the last turn before Phoenix deckouts to get EM.

If desperate when setting up, can use Dispersion + Holy Light in order to heal 10 HP without consuming the Holy Light (using Dispersion + [Spell] does not consume [Spell]).

Protect Artifact is not run because it's redundant for the Stonewall when Imbued Mirror Shield. With Disp+Meta, your mark gets so strong that you eventually don't really need the quanta from pendulums, so they're really only there to help set up your shield. Once your shield combo is set up, redundant/extra copies (Mirror Shield or Stonewall) can be discarded, they're only found in such high quantities in order to be more likely to draw them.

I got Nosferatu today for Colosseum, came up with this.

Nosferatu

066qr0677k0377i04785067la017kf047kk018pq

Notable issues: sometimes Nosferatu gets lucky and manages to steal some Stone Skin, or uses Nightmare after I've used all my Stone Skin, so I lose out on either EM or 500 HP. I'd like to splash in a few Sanctuary, but I don't know what to cut out, and if I make the deck thiccer, I notice it impacts consistency, so this is the best I was able to come up with on my own. Would greatly appreciate feedback and/or optimisation/tuning.

Hi sorry, first time posting, and I'm not sure how to get the formatting done like everyone else, but I got bored and tried making some 500 HP decks to various levels of success. I'd appreciate any feedback/optimisation/tuning, since I have no idea what I'm doing (both in terms of how to post on the forum, and in terms of deckbuilding)!

Thetis

097780677k0577c027gq027h3047qt027qb018ps

Should be pretty self-explanatory: play Diamond Shield, and wait until deckout. Use Hand Drill to replenish deck. As needed, either use Precog to dig for Diamond Shield, or ideally use it to ensure Waiter bonus at the end. Play Dry Spell to get the Water Quanta for Purify, and if you're lucky, get enough kills for Murderer bonus. (Since the intent is to win by deckout, you don't need to play the creatures from Hand Drill - in fact, it's better if you don't since you get Creatureless bonus.)

Perses

036qr04749067780677k0677i057n2047qt027qb018pl

The idea is similar to the deck for Thetis, except we need a bit of Gravity for Gravity Shield. Key idea is to get a turn 1 Protected/immaterial Gravity Shield. Metamorphosis is used similarly to Septima Rhay's usage in this deck, except switch first to Earth (for faster Stone Skin) then to Time (for Hand Drill). Gravity Shield doesn't seem to block weapons, so use Flying Weapon on Perses' Pulverizers. Hand Drill the Pulverizers, and play them to get Weapon Master and Equipped bonuses.

Swamp (edit: Version 1, Rareless)

066qr0a78q0677k0478504810018pu

If you open with 2 Metamorphosis, cast one on yourself so that you're more likely to be able to drop a turn 2 Dream Catcher. Once Dream Catcher is out, Metamorphosis mark to Earth to fast charge Stonewall. Once you have 63 Earth quanta, Metamorphosis back to Aether, and start milling. Depending on game state (cards discarded by Swamp), it may be possible to Metamorphosis to Darkness later on so that you can play weapons/permanents (Shank of Void, Eclipse) for Equipped/Weapon Master/Grounds Keeper bonuses. If you do, be careful to not self-deckout due to lack of Aether quanta. Remember you can mill yourself for Waiter bonus.

Needs time to set up though - prone to losing if Swamp gets an early Eclipse/Shark.

Swamp (edit: Version 2)

066qr0577k04785017js047kk0681q04810018pq

Stumbled upon this idea from Septima Rhay/serprex using Dispersion + Metamorphosis to generate fast Earth Quanta to fast charge Stonewall. Much faster at generating Earth Quanta to deal with the early Eclipse/Shark than version 1, but requires 4 rares. Also weaker to Pest-heavy starts (has issues getting Dream Catchers out earlier, but faster Stonewall charging provides more breathing room).

After first Disp+Meta, charge Stonewall (mark = Earth), then Metamorphosis to Aether for Dream Catcher mill. As possible, switch to mark = Light to charge for another Dispersion, or mark = Darkness to generate quanta for Eclipse/Shank of Void for bonuses (Grounds Keeper, Weapon Master, Equipped). Holy Light + Dispersion at the end for Murderer bonus. Once you're set up behind a Dream Catcher + charged Stonewall, you're basically just playing solitaire at that point.

St. Invictus

025sf025s20177i06781077ac047bu037al027b3037bf018pm

I stumbled upon this concept from serprex (specifically the deck from Schwa at this link), and fell in love with the idea. I tried doing a few tweaks to optimise it against some Demigods, specifically St. Invictus. Definitely needs optimisation, the least polished of these decks. Can fail if St. Invictus gets lucky with the random creatures via rewind (e.g. Shard of Focus, Lifesmith, Ironclad Blacksmith, Null Mantis). Not sure if it'd be a good idea to use Equalise to reduce the Life Quanta cost of shield/weapon (i.e. use both Earth & Life Quanta for equalised equipment), or if the concept is doomed from the start?
