All deck advice is tuned to what the deck is being used for - a deck that kills FG's quickly and consistently may be substandard for AI3 and may fall apart entirely in PvP. I'll pretend that you're using this deck for PvP - that usually makes it a little slower against AI3 as you go for a little more resilience in trade for a little less speed.
At first glance I think your damage engine - the part of your deck dedicated to killing your opponent needs a little more filling out. 2 Quinted Steamies are solid hammers once you've stalled a little, but are stopped easily by some commonly played shields - having a few more bodies could get you by bonewall and pulvy can solve the others. Something as simple as adrenaline or a deja-vu could help there.
On second glance - I think your damage engine will serve you fine if you survive long enough - your stalling power is centered around 4 Mass CC cards and some delay. Without any healing in the deck you are at the mercy of poison and other decks immune or resistant to the CC you bring to the table. Your suggestion of Anti-Matter is a good one - the issue is that its just so expensive to play in a rainbow deck - purify is a possibility as a counter to poison - it also brings a surprising amount of healing to the table when you factor in Sundials and Bonewall. I'd consider swapping the Cloaks for Nightmares - to give you that little extra bit of healing.
The biggest issue with the deck - and your original question is what to do about quanta production - QT or novas. It is always a hard question - and QI is a nice tool that I find struggles with rainbow decks. Quantum Towers are nice because they make lots of quanta over the course of the game - however we've all been in the place where we are waiting for the stupid towers to make the quanta we need and it takes 4-5 turns for 6 towers to give it to us. That's why novas are so useful - not only do they give us quanta fast, but they give it evenly over every element - getting us that little bit more when we need it. Your deck is not a rush deck - so having 6 novas is overkill, 6 pillars and 4 nova or 7 pillars and 3 nova should be more consistent. Too many nova means too often your starting hand is 1 or 2 nova and then you are forced into the long wait for a pillar - don't be there - play enough pillars in your deck.
