Help flying titan arena deck

[Baritonium9]

I only have 3 titans right now, but when I get six, and a good oracle card for the deck I want to try this out:

It would have mark of air x3 and double draw


It is basically akebono style but with sky blitz.  I am considering switching out sky blitz and some pillars for quintessance and mark of aether x2.
Do you think this deck would benefit from a shield, some cc, some pc, or anything else?  How could this be bettered for roughly level 42 arena deck?  Thanks!
By the way, the cards can't all be upped because I don't have enough arena level points to do that, unless I give up 3x mark or double draw.

The silly AI won't know when to time the Quints correctly (it will Quint a flying Titan before Overdriving it if you have the quanta for Quint, but not for Overdrive), so splashing Aether isn't the best idea. Also, beware of the AI "helpfully" using Overdrive on your opponent's creatures to get rid of their (sometimes useless) abilities.

Dropping one each of Overdrive and Sky Blitz for Fog Shields should give you a nice early defence. Double mark should usually be enough, since your only major quanta use are for Fog and Blitz. Actually, you can probably leave the Flying Weapons unupped so that it doesn't drain your quanta.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that quint problem.  I noticed that when I tested it in trainer. You are correct about the overdrives as well, but from what I've seen (and I might be wrong in some cases) the AI will target an opponent creature only if there are no un-overdrived titans on my side.

Good idea leaving flying weapons unupped.  I would only need them upped if I wasn't using air quanta already!

As far as using double mark instead of triple... I could do that, but I am afraid it would slow down the use of blitz.  The blitz is generally used on turn 5 to wipe the enemy out.  Would throwing in some grav pendulums instead of towers take care of this?  Or would that slow down the titan/ overdrive combo too much?
