Here are some decks with experimental idea, though not quite reliable

Pegasus summoning
024vj055ok016rl016rr017k0027k6017kh037jr067mt067nq017n2017n1018pq

  • Pillarless
  • Lean strategy

Angel summoning
0156a045le055ok0475m017jt037ms027oe047nq057ni017n8018pr

  • Steep growth curve
  • Rely on generating :light to kick start the mechanism
  • No self-recovery capacity for hp, which is fatal when counter opponents with a rush deck

Dragon revive
0271i0571l0371b0a7f2017e7037dp037ee037di018pk

  • Vulnerable in early stage while accumulating :fire to summon a dragon
  • Rely on placing some tombs on the field before the sacrifice to function well

Overload
0a72i0371i0571l0271b027440175m0274q05748018pl

  • Massive explosion

That's my current pillarless-yet-all-the-pillars deck.

It might be stronger starting out with a Life Mark and then Metamorph-ing to Chroma after getting some Geos out.

Airborne sqiritual mix
035ut086rv016rr03714037ah017h4017h3027jr067nq017n1017n8018pr

  • A pinch of hp recovery
  • Gentle damage growth
  • The effects of the first two points are enhanced by shard of freedom
  • Low quanta consumption

Moonlight reinforce
0a6rv0271u067bb047k3027kh027kf027k4017ta017u6018pn

  • Countered by strong shield, area of effect, and shield-bypassing effect; otherwise, could sustain pretty well.
  • Creature wave

Nova dragons
064vj025bt015id025of016rj067b1047ee017h4017jt017jq057nq018pi

I have seen few decks with similar idea. This is mine, though.
  • Rush strategy
  • Pillarless

Fungus farmer - Jack
025uq087bu057b1047au047dp037e8017jt037u6018pt

  • Slash-and-burn farming*
  • Transparent employees

Jack farms fungi. He employs an ancient farming method that burn the biomass on the field before farming and resulting fertile soil. When the night falls, fungi grow. Legend has it that he hired some transparent workers. However, it is still a mystery how he could harvest that many fungi with limited manpower during the busy farming season.

Martyr supersizing
036qs046r00274d0677l047b1027h4027h6017jo017la017kg047kb018pi

  • Rely on Bubble Shield to eliminate delay
  • Carefully estimate the damage received if cast Gravity Pull on Martyr

Bonus - How deep would the Equalize go?
Spoiler for Hidden:
036qs046r0026u70677l047b1027h4027h6017jo017la017kg047kb018pi

I tucked Antimatter to test whether the Equalize stops at 0 or goes deeper.
Yes, the Equalize will reach negative hp.

047ai027al047an087f2017e7047dh017dm047du027di018pn

  • High strength with moderate hp recovery.
  • Low creature's hp.

Hand-made robot
0a6s00474q0174i0574k047qm017q50580q018ps

  • Countered by rush strategy.

Avant-garde grazing
0c6s0056qt056uc0374j037qu0280b018pi

What's up
05564056qt0474q027480174u047jo027la027kf057kk018pq

  • Weak to anything bypass shield.
  • Basically rely on drawing some Repulsors in early game.
The idea is cool, but I soon feel bored on this deck. Here, regardless of poor draw. I do not like it because it is too easy to build a super strong defense that counters everything, expecting those cards counter against it. I mean... the border, either counter or not, seems to be too determined.

Chaos mantle

  • Low damage.
  • Long lasting.
This deck is more interesting than I expected.

This fits the idea that a weakness a deck can have is being one dimensional, but a lot of optimized decks end up being one dimensional for higher tiers of AI since in that meta you can't afford inefficiency. That's generally how I feel about geodiss/dispmeta decks, they have their big trick, but that trick needs to pay off

I've generally tried for openEtG to not end up with a meta of these sorts of decks, but it's a bit inevitable. A recent case of that was when I was comparing speedfungus to bobbit fungus, where the latter has a lot more decisions it can make & adapt with

Inexhaustible pickup (prototype)
056qq056qs036r1057b1017jt037kf047kk027nf027nm037q9037q5037qq017um018pi


  • Oversize.
  • Weak to rush deck, reflect shield, etc.
Tired of testing it with annoying decks and AI, would adjust it latter.
