So this is indirectly inspired from jmdt's USEM. I like how he put in 12 creatures and 6 support spells and power them by using 10 pillars. Then i looked at Aether.

Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
6rk 6rk 808 808 808 808 808 80a 80a 80a 80a 80a 80a 80g 80g 80g 80g 80g 80g 80l 80l 80l 80l 80l 80l 81q 81q 81q 81q 81q 8pu

??? are Psions.
Just drop in whatever you have. Only use Thunderbolt to oneshot rushing creatures, nothing else. Don't bother using 2 thunderbolt for tough creature, it won't pay off. If you calculate the damage right, dump all Thunderbolts on opponent for killing shot.

Difference in quantum balance:
6 Frogs + 6 Cocks + 6 Heals = 2*6 + 3*6 + 2*6 = 42 :life
6 Recluses + 6 Psions + 6 Thunderbolts = 4*6 + 4*6 + 1*6 = 54 :aether
Heavier by 12 quanta, as it seems. Hopefully it's just as rushy.
If you really need more quanta, swap 2 Thunderbolts for 1 Tower and 1 Pend. Then the QI will be only slightly above USEM (interpret that yourself)

Additional info: i ran a search on forum and found a deck similar to this, MA Rush 101 by Vineroz. The difference is that he use PU instead of Thunderbolt (and for it, he put more pillars).

 Aside from the extra quanta issue, it looks fine. Might wanna add another pillar or two.
But aside from that, it does look nice.

Actually, you only have 1 extra quanta. Including the Long Swords (which you did not count in your total quanta cost calculation), the total quanta cost of the creatures and spells in the deck is 56  :aether/ :rainbow. Since you have 11 pillars (including your mark), the QI is 56/11, or 5.09090909... Since 5 is approximately the best QI, the quanta usage/production is perfect.

It's interesting to see that mono aether can rush now. I wonder if SoW+immortals would be faster though.

They are pretty fast, I got pwned by those arena immortals pretty often due to being outrushed.
Immortals are immune to CC as well.
PVE shouldn't be all about copying a deck code and converting time into electrum, score, and potentially rares.
If the only way to derive fun from a game is its PVP content, then non-hardcore players a.k.a. the mass are alienated from the hardcore community.

Huh, definitely an interesting deck. I always thought of Aether as an element better at stalling so it can play expensive immortal creatures, so a rush is. Unusual for me.
