I started making my first rainbow deck a while ago thanks to these forums. But I came to a stop..
The deck has
10 quantum pillars
6 novas
2 lyacanthropes
2 graboids
1 forest spirit
2 graviton fireaters
1 chrysaora (?)
1 mind flayer
2 hourglasses
and some other stuff but I'm thinking how to make this deck better (I like it a speedish deck). The weapon..

I thought about making a deck like this, basically speed weenies Rainbow-style...how does it really work for you? Do you have lots of quanta problems, or problems ramping up damage fast enough? RoF?

Basically I'm asking what the problems with the deck are that you're having. Too little damage dealing, to much damage dealt to you, quanta problems, etc.

Well, the deck works pretty great but the only problems I having (only fighting lvl3's with this deck) is quanta problems. (healing kinda but not much) I think I can easily solve this by having upgrade the towers or even a nova will help dramatically. I want to keep it below 45 cards and maybe even do something more than lvl 3 but I don't know what weapon to chose or what to do with it. If I have to modify my rainbow, through all your helpful suggestions, then I will. I made this deck from a spam abomination deck (electrum courtesy of the oracle), never sold anything but alternate element and quantum pillars. So whenever this rainbow deck is down and out I switch to that one.

maybe eternity for deck elongation (with time mark), pulvy is always a good option, though it's heavy on quanta. jade/druidic staff is good for healing, and you're not using too much :life or :gravity yet. I've read on another thread that for speed rainbows (30 cards), supernovas can be used with very little pillars/towers and entropy mark.

trident is too costly usually
vampiric doesn't heal/damage enough generally
dischord doesn't have much effect against many decks
farenheit doesn't have the effect with such a small :fire generation
morning star is good if you're afraid of steals
arsenic is ok...but not really for this deck
eagle eye if you're afraid of creatures, but it's heavy on quanta
titan is....titan...if you're afraid of shields, i guess
lobo if you're afraid of abilities, not too hard on quanta either

Other cards worth considering for an agressive rainbow:
Steal
Momentum
Lightning
Blessing
Lava Golem
Fallen Elf

Steal and Momentum can both deal with the annoying shields you see a lot of when fighting AI Elders. 

You never told us which Mark you use so that makes a bit of difference.  With Time Mark you could put Eternity into this deck.  For speed I would use Arsenic.  If you're playing a lot of AI3's you've probably won a couple weapons already so just put in whichever rare you have.  Here's a guide about picking your weapon from the quest so check it out and see if that helps you decide.

Well currently I use the time mark to fuel the hourglasses which I'm considering limiting from 2 to 1 and adding a Parasite for a bit more creature control or another Chrys for poison.
I haven't picked yet.... I've considered adding those other cards you suggested already as I had much money and it made the deck slower so if I can't keep it a speed deck then well okay. I also considered Fallens but I can't find a good situation to use them, so I might do a bigger, slower, Aflotoxin Devour/Mutate. / Firefly Mutation deck....  There is no need to reply further (unless you want to help anyone else that might experience these problems) as I'm trying the trainer again. Thanks for your suggestions guys Edit: Alright! in development updated again, whooo! ppls really do look at the ideas forum at kong.....maybe.....hopefully......I don't even know anymore
