Ideally I'de need one or two more miracles ; I made this deck  and tried it on lvl3, works very well but I still have some problems farming the half-bloods with, that's why I precized this is an Elder-farming deck.

Principle is easy : you gain many quantas from the pillars, you have the two shields I thought most efficient, when you have quanta enough to draw a dragon, you play dragon+blessing if you have it in your hand too. Or, if you loot miracle before losing all your HPs, save your quanta, let the opponent drain your life, use miracle and like you'll have gained many quantas you'll be able to draw some dragons.

This is not an EM deck, but the rate of defeats is much lower than some other decks I've tried to build, so I keep  at this one for the Elder lvl for now.

WAY too many pillars bro.  You'll have much more success if you take out A LOT of them.  Also, in a deck so large with proportionally not many sources of damage (22%, not including blessings), I feel like you need more draw power (i.e. hourglasses), stall techniques (dim shields, etc.) or both.  I think this deck would be better if you substituted some of the blessings for other cards (or fewer of them) as well.  Then again, they do protect your dragons from CC so you don't need to remove all of them, but I feel like 6 blessings running off of the mark + pillars is overkill if you cut the pillars down.

One thought.  You COULD turn this into an otk deck (though it wouldn't work well for halfbloods if you did), by cutting down the pillars and adding fog shield, sundials, and sky blitz.

for real man..
using this vs half bloods...
you gotta balance attack and defense, or at least as regen2k9 was saying you should have more draw power, if i'm not wrong i saw @dragonsdememe(i don't remeber the correct user name) make a lot of dragons based decks, go take some insipiration.

If it's for elders, just consider making an OTK using sky blitz and 5 dragons. Too many pillars, this could be and should be a 30 card deck or so for better draws. Novas are very useful, phase dragon, collosal dragon, and massive dragon aren't very useful. Chimera should be used, and finally, blessings aren't really that great. 3|3 for 3 is far from optimal. This is a farming deck, so games should be fast, as in 5-7 TTW. This looks like it'll be 10+ turns to win a game.

Indeed, it seems I went to the wrong forum when I posted this, thanks for moving ^^'
Well after reading all your comments I reduced my deck to 15 quantum pillars, just  kept  five dragons, added five novas, kept one miracle, then added ice shield and 3 sky blitz ; I'll see then what it does on long-term but yet it seems to work better ; I also take note of the chimera, seems good idea too
Thanks for your help everyone^^

So I was wondering why you picked the ice shield out of all the potential shields in this game.

Thanks, Microman

The Ice shield has two advantages : first the opponent attack is reduced by 1, then it might freeze some creatures ; I personally consider this shield as one of the best of the game

Why not a 30 cards version?

PU on Crimson.

Be sure you don't draw like mad so you can get enough quanta to play every piece.
Yes, play it OTK style.

Alrighty then, thanks^^ I'll try both when I'll get a decent connection^^
