I will soon make a 50 games test run against AI4.

Idea is to go back a little in time to where you were able to play more than one SN without worrying. After the nerf many people used IM or Cremation to cast two SN in one turn.
This deck is meant to play as many as you have thunderbolts in your hand. With just 3 SN you'll be able to play all cards in the deck. The SoB provides a creature spam that should be able to overcome most AI4 decks in terms of speed and survive most of their CC (that's why I chose mostly creatures which need at least 2 SN, because they have higher HP, with few exceptions).
The deck isn't difficult to play as it is a rush. I personally wouldn't use SoB anymore as soon as you are in an HP (and) damage advantage over the AI, otherwise you might help it to catch up.
The rest of the Thunderbolts can be used as CC, which also is a bit provided by Maxwell.

Variations:
- 1 GoT +1 Turtle Shield -1 Ice Shield +1 Crawler (Ice Shield and Crawler are interchangeable)
-1 SN +1 SoB
-1 Frog +1 Epi (goes well with Charger)
And lots more. I mean, you know them. It's a PSN-Bow :P

Swap something for Vamp Dagger or Arsenic if you feel like having a weapon.

Feedback is appreciated :)

Edit:
P.S. According to simulations, in 1000 games 12.9% percent were without pends in starting hand. So you might want to add a 5th if you feel like that's too high.

Why would you even go PSNBow? You get enough fire quanta with just the mark and one supernova, so you could use entropy towers instead of pendulums and still have enough fire. Since you get more entropy quanta now, the maxwell demon will be more useful, and if you get to much entropy (which I don't think will be the case with only 4 towers) you can add funny stuff like antimatter, discord or upped pandemonium.
What's the speed of dark?

this definitely should get a weapon.

If you feel like arsenic or vamp dagger don't fit in, replace the angel with a morning glory.
Unless you want too use the healing ability, it is a direct improvement.
be quick- time is quanta.

Yeah, I noticed while I was writing the description but was in a hurry and didn't have time to change it yet. I will do so later and thanks for remarking it :)

Indeed, I like the angel because of it's healing ability (plague greets you). Though Morning Glory would be a nice replacement too.
As I stated, there are many many variations and that's good as one can build it according to his preferences :) Main idea really was to be able to spam SN again.

I will make the test run with the build shown above (chaning pends to pillars first), if you feel like testing one of your own versions, feel free to do so.
