If one was to build this deck, what would be the upgrade order?

I would say... sundials-shards-dragon-hourglasses-towers-skyblitz, mitosis & chimera.

Dragon, SN are absolutely required. The rest of the upgrade order should be

Hourglasses --> Time towers --> Skyblitz -->Shards of Readiness--> Mitosis --> Chimera --> Sundial

Isn't time tower identical to sundial: 1 more quanta produced or 1 less time quanta used...

Aye, that's what I've been thinking. Sundials can even be unupped so they don't mess with the mulligan.

May be, but sometimes you don't have that  to spend 
When I tried it, some times I started with 1 tower and other times the first tower came in the 3rd turn.

I've been running this deck for a bit now and with upped sundials, it does screw up the mulligan a bit. To compensate I'd suggest
- 2 hourglasses
+ 1 time pillar
+ 1 phase shield

I always get clogged up with too many hourglasses in my hand and time quanta is more often than not in short supply.

I'm not sure Phase Shield is all that useful. You  need 3 Supernova to play it, after all.

Yeah, I normally use it after my chain of sundials. 3 more turns helps a lot and by the time you're done with your sundial chain you wont have many cards left in the deck anyway so you should easily have enough quanta. No other use for aether quanta otherwise anyway.

[mwaetht]

Good point. I'll test it out. Do you think two hourglasses are enough?

You're using seven towers to fuel two hourglasses (the Supernovas pay for the dragon), which seems quite inefficient unless you're using unupped Sundial.

EDIT: Nope. Having only two hourglasses kills your win rate; you can't get to your Sundials in time. In one memorable game, I had to let the chain fall so much that even when I got the chain up and running again I was at 2 HP and staring across Neptune's Poseidon.

The most humiliating part of it all was that I had just drawn the last part of the combo, but not enough Supernovas to play it.

Can sb. give me a hint how to get the shards, please?

I built the Wrecking ball (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=32982.0) to farm bronze arena. Played at least 300 games and got 2 Shards! Seriously, there must be a shorter way...

Thx for help

With the wrecking ball you should be able to farm shards in silver.
