WOULD THIS DECK WORK?

I am trying to create a deck that matches my playing style. I prefer to bide my time and stall my opponents, then attack once I have all the cards I need to take complete control of the game. The cards in this deck would allow for such control, but every unique card is required. The numbers of duplicate cards listed are purposefully inaccurate, for I do not know how many copies of each card this deck requires, particularly for towers. I am not even sure if this deck has any potential, for it may not be able to stall rush decks and requires quanta for multiple elements.

Hover over cards for details, click for permalink

I do not want to explain how the deck works in detail, but I will go over the basics. Butterfly the Scarabs for perm control.* Antimatter most opposing creatures and Quint to keep them from being further altered. Alternatively, mutate or rewind them. Mutate Scarabs into strong creatures, then Quint. Rewind Scarabs to prevent decking out. You can control almost every aspect of the game with this deck.

*The Pharaohs must be unupped for the Scarabs to be compatible with Butterfly.

How many copies of each card would I need to make this deck effective? What other cards could I add or take out? What other decks that are already created fit my playing style? Is my playing style inefficient, implying that I need to focus more on rushing my opponents than on being careful? Please offer any advice you can. Thank you.

My immediate suspicion is that you have too many hourglasses... but give this deck a go, try it against FG's, it should win some matches, make electrum, and ultimately allow you too upgrade more cards for efficiency!

Also, maybe remove the time factory, and use entropy pendulums/life pendulums?

Far too much Butterfly Effect, probably right amount of hourglasses once you add in the cards needed, needs Quantum Towers and lots of element use (mainly for defensive purposes). It's going to be very heavy on time quanta, people generally use firefly queen for their mutants because of this but there might be a way to balance time towers in there (which would also help your hourglasses in early game) to make anubis & pharoah work.

TL;DR Less copies of BE. No more pends of all the elements (is unreliable as if you dont draw one you have no quanta of that element all game) -> Quantum Towers and possibly some time towers too (especially if you change to ent mark). Entropy mark will allow for supernova activation and stable quanta generation for your nymph.

Possibly. But having 2 amythest pillars and 6 supernovas, and no other way of gaining :entropy, you might be prone to bad draws.
8 pillars/36 cards probably isn't going to be very good for you.
