Get rid of Animates and 1 arsenic. The rest of your 30 card deck should be towers.

So that should be a round 10 Bone Towers.

Really depends on if you're going to build up on that deck. 15-17 is good.

I like 10 Death Towers/Pillars in a 30 card Death/Water speed poison.

play a couple of games with the set up you have.  When the match is over, look at how much quanta is left.  Do this about 10-15 times. 
If you end up with tons of quanta left(in the 40s/50s) and very often, then you can reduce the amount by 1.  Now try again 10-15 times.  Depending on the outcome, adjust the amount accordingly.  If you have tons of quanta left over at the end of the game, it means you drew a few too many pillars/towers instead of other useful cards.  You should aim for the amount of left over quanta to be in the teens. 
Have you played starcraft? In that game, one strives to use all their resources, and any left over is considered bad.  Same concept can be applied here.
I play a lot of people who draw like 6 pillars/towers in the first hand, which is VERY bad.  It means the deck is not balance.  first hand should be like 2-4 pillars/towers.
good luck! 8)

Holy crap, 17 towers? Excuse me while I go to the corner of madness.

Done. Really now, 17 towers is REALLY overkill

Agreed. That's a pretty insane amount, considering 12 out of the 30 cards in a Speed Poison aren't even of :death type. :)

10, as many people have elucidated before, seems like the perfect number in this deck. You don't need to test it; many have already tested and can confirm this ;)
