It's a kind of easy rush, tho it's seems to work against Champs.

The tactic is Tesseracting whales and dragons from and spam Dim shields. Dim. shields give more than enough time to thaw your cards, while Tesseract technically mills out the creatures from your deck, increasing the chance of drawing more Dim. shield, and does not affect the spam with the Time ability cost.

Flaws:

The HATE of drawing up creatures, especially dragons. The tactic ignores the time of thawing, making an incorrectly cheap, big creature rush, but from that side, any creature you draw up seems to be very expensive. Whales are okay, because you'll have quanta to play it (or maybe not), but the dragon will stay in your hand until the lategame. You can't shuffle back, mulliganing at starter not really worthy. You have to deal with it.

In most case, you need 1 Tesseract. 0 is a huge pain, but if you drew up 2-3, still don't bother to play them all. The deck don't have enough  :time to fuel all, either enough deck material to last long. And the 3 Aether is a half whale from hand.

Anything what normally applies to Dim. shield spam or big HP creatures.

Did some testing and it seems pretty consistent. I find that I often have the quanta to feed 2 tesseracts and unless you start the chain really early you can afford the dragons you drew (of course playing the whales pays off more).
