To get speed you can go with mutation instead of elves, and maybe TU instead of mitosis(less original, much more effective though).
Photons and sparks can ruin your pillar hand(as they cost 0 quanta), so going with lycans as mutation fodder could be a good choice(you will lose some speed though).
If you want to use your mutant skills and also gain speed, you will need novas
This is much better with upped elves.
By the way, the card 31 is your mark code(they are in the game since last patch, the deck image generator does not understand them as it was designed before that).
