 with the mark of death you can constantly use you parasite ability and with 10 pillars you can play your creatures faster. I just beat 3 levels 3 in a row so i think this change is for the better. If you find that you cant play your creatures as fast as your would like add 1-2 more pillars.

later you can head in the direction of this deck which is pretty good http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,18088.0.html

To start off with, there's not a lot of quanta generation in this deck. You need some more Obsidian Pillars. On a related note, if you really want to use the Parasite's Infection ability, it would probably be better to use a mark of Death and replace the Bone Pillars with some Obsidian ones. It may just be simpler to replace both them and the Bone Pillars with more Obsidian Pillars or Devourers, however, as there probably aren't enough Parasites to justify having the death quanta.

As far as the rest of the deck goes, the single Cloak and Liquid Shadow don't seem very useful. Cloak works best when you have multiple so you can keep your field protected over time and Liquid Shadow is pretty much limited to being used on one of your three dragons or as a one-shot CC card. The rest looks fine, although you may want more than one Nightfall.

I don't often use parasites, so it was fun building decks around them. Several good suggestions have already been given, but here's an alternate build I've been playing around with:

Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
52r 52r 52r 542 542 542 542 542 542 542 542 542 542 5uk 5uk 5uk 5ul 5ul 5ul 5un 5un 5un 5un 5up 5uq 5ur 5us 5us 5us 5us 8pt


For defense it abandons the vamps in favor of trusty bonewalls + lots of CC. The drain lifes are for targets that need to be killed quickly, and because the parasites offer repeatable CC to either spam and keep hordes at bay, or focus fire to bring down the toughest creatures. The dragons and nightfall come in to help punch through damage reduction shields.
The dusk mantle is of course dropped in favor of the bonewalls, and the Liquid Shadow, Nightmare, and Cloak were also removed because they don't have enough synergy with the rest of the deck to justify their inclusion. The steals I felt bad to remove, because they are such a useful and fun card, but steals and bonewalls don't mix very well, and I needed to keep the deck relatively focused or the combo might come too late or without enough CC strength. I increased the number of quanta sources to better balance the deck and give the Drain Lifes enough quanta to start doing additional damage earlier.

Hope some of this was helpful, if at least as food for thought.
