just use wings to stall while u try to get your titans out. u can use accel to do quite some dmg. if your opponent freeze's you then catapult it. if it rewinds, play it as a weapon slot until u can dish a combo(fw) with the catapult.

You can +1 flying weapon in case of rewinds.

I have had a lot of success with this:

It's a simple mono entropy that slows down stalls and mid game decks with discord, can stabilize against fire rushes with Maxwell's... just a good all-around deck.

What for are the Mutations?

[CCCombobreaker]

Well originally this was a pvp deck and the mutations were my defense against "it's a trap".  There isn't a lot of that in silver, but you can always use it on one of you guys against MA and pray to RNG for steal or destroy mutant.  Also sometimes you rather they not have a GotP out and can risk mutating it.  You probably could use more AMs or maybe chaos seeds if you wanted.

Just a little note when playing grabbix in arena, phoenixes are usually stuck in your hand waiting for that 1 more fire quanta because of the immo nerf leading to a bunch of losses that really should've been wins

I've stopped trying to get grabbix to work well. Ironically, I never cared to try grabbix until I learned about the nerf. 
I've found that completely unupped is difficult to achieve that rare spin, but a speed rainbow with a tad more PC than normal has been my deck of choice. I won't lie, a couple cards are upped, but they haven't usually been instrumental to winning.

Try antagon's PVP graboid rainbow
It's not as fast as the other Ai3 grinders but wins much more consistently. Can probably also farm bronze league (but I prefer Ai3).

What he said.   The deck rocks.  Drop it in for your arena deck ftw too!  It farms bronze like no ones business.

I have most of my collection thanks to that deck.  Works ok in silver.  depends on the day.

I used a modified no land stompy to farm silver, and got okay-ish results. Used modded Antagon's grabbow too, and also worked.

Haha, didn't bother mentioning names since I didn't know how popular it was but that's the exact deck that I was talking about  The extra PC i was talking about is three Explosions instead of two Deflags, an Improved Steal, and a Black Hole. Works better for Aether stalls, the curse of Bronze Arena. The Black Hole shuts down those who are running antagon's deck in Bronze.

Maybe a OTK or a rainbow with control that is unnupped like this?:

A couple of changes I'd suggest:
1. Drop the hourglasses for Precogs/Sundials. This is a rush, a control rush, but a rush nonetheless, and trying to pull out an hourglass unupped and have it work is 6 time quanta right there, which is a lot. You'll likely only get 1-2 uses and only 1 hourglass out, despite your mark of time (don't forget about the extra 2 time from your graboids!). Precogs are similiar, cheaper, and let you see their hand to boot.
2. Owl's Eye is very useful, but very expensive. Again, you'll only get a few uses out of its expensive ability, if any at all. Vamp Dagger/Arsenic/Discord are the usual choices for a speedbow.
3. Two Graboids and an Earthquake is a whopping 9 earth quanta. Earthquake is usually the most useful in the early game, when only 3-4 pillars are out and you can quickly stop their quanta gain. If you insist on Earthquake, drop the ever useful Graboids and add a Black Hole so you can nail their quanta for a few turns.
4. Purify is probably unneeded, poison decks in Silver are not too common. However, I don't know the frequency of SPLAT decks, so maybe it could be useful.

Feel free to ignore any or all of these suggestions. I've not tested the deck, so I can't say if it works or not. But it looks similar to other Speedbows so I think it would be fine.

I had one hourglass upgraded but I only have morning star,eternity,2 fahrenheits,and a owls eye.
I could add black hole and take out otyugh for gravity pull.
I don't have issuies with time quanta at all and only having 1 graboid and one earthquake would probably be best.
