Not an experienced player, but you may have a simple solution: remove dragons and one aether pillar, replace with dimensional shields. You need 11 turns with 1 nymph to kill AI5 (assuming no healing and no shields - no gas on first nymph turn, no explosion on first gas turn, etc.), and 3 shields can't give you that. With 2 nymphs played on the same turn, you only need 7 turns (and you need all 6 pillars out to sustain that). Almost all enemies will have either shields or healing, so expect it to last somewhat longer.

Kind of a good idea. Decks that have a two pronged attack generally are--here it's damage from immortals plus unstable gases. I recommend the following calibration:

-1  :aether pillar, -1 phase dragon
+1 dimensional shield, +1  immortal

I wonder why you chose this deck over a mono  :air with  :fire mark though.  Immortals and phase dragons are notoriously expensive because they come out quinted--I would prefer flying EEs with pay-per-use creature control and deflagrations to disrupt your opponent's setup.

I chose it because of quint & I need good shields, the dragons & immortals are a backup damage source(if the enemy use spell reflection or permament control). Now I'm trying with -2 dragons, -3 aether pillars, +3 shields, +2 Air pillars.
