Here's a nice death deck i've been using to grind ai3
I play the poisons first and then boneyard/shield after that it's pretty much just getting a mummy or dragon out
The only weakness i've found is from decks that have steels ready before you play perms

Use http://www.quantum-index.com/ for quantum balancing.

As for the deck: this is somewhat ok for a cheap bronze arena deck(35 cards). For farming ai3 with good quantum spread and 30 cards(don't need any more as versus ai3 the idea is speed) I recommend -1 skull shield(shouldn't need more than 2 in my opinion) -6 poisons(not poison-based deck) +1 dragon +1 pillar

yea after playing more with it i realized that there were too many shields but the poisons are just so satisfying to play and they help when you're going against the ai3 with dimmensional shields and any time you are up against cc... i decided to get rid of the plagues and 3 of the poisons and 1 shield and +1 pillar as you mentioned to cut the deck down to 30 cards...

Not sure why you would get rid of the plagues though. Those synergies well with the bone yard and bone shield. Add a bone wall somewhere and you could have a very nice defense together with a great offense. Good luck with your deck

edit: Do a pillar/pendulum split as shown here: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,30685.0.html
Reason: Protects against earthquake and trident's destroy 3xpillar/pendulum effect.
Example: 3 pillars = dead pillars
2pillars 1 pendulum=2pillars 1 pendulum alive
4 pillars=3 dead 1 alive
2 pillars 2 pendulums= 2 dead 2 alive ^^
This can actually become game changing depending on what you draw. If you only draw those pillars/pendulums then you need as many as you can get to keep from being totally quanta starved.

thanks tribaltrouble i'm trying to balance this deck currently and your help is appreciated by linking me to the quantum index i can finally balance my pillars/pendalum numbers without having to actually run repeated tests for even the smallest tweaks in the number of pillars/pendalums

I used a deck like that. Basically, I took out the skull shields, and the boneyards, and used a few bone walls in their place. It worked really well for me.

My preferred death deck is the mono death rush. Kills AI3 pretty quickly. 6 poisons, 6 mummies, 4 bone dragons, and the rest bone pillars.

Looking back at this again and after playing around with my own death decks in an account I made completely around the element of death I've realized that it would be good to have 1 vulture as well as 2 bone yards so do -1 bone yard +1 vulture just so that the opponent can't just put up a shield and defend against the bone yard, it also has to defend against that vulture that I once got up to 25/26. Gotta love beating the opponent with his own creature's dead bodies
