I have won nearly 90% of all games vs. Ai4, losing only to heavy quanta denial and/or cc.
Silver ratio is around 50-60%. And I was able to defeat Serket and Hecate due to a good starting hand.
The only problem I've had so far is bad starting hands and getting outrushed. How can I fix this?

[serprex]

Bad starting hands immediately imply that you should drop two cards. What are examples of bad hands you're experiencing? Might swap Jade Staff for Gavel or Arsenic (Gavel better against rushes). Using Puffer Fish unupped would give you some CC (if you're losing to Fire rushes). Two unupped Black Holes are likely too expensive, especially since this isn't using Super Nova (which, given the low entropy usage in this deck, you should be using)

If you don't have quanta problems, Hourglass

[RulacMage11]

Bad starting hands usually dont have any creatures or enough quanta production so I have to discard a necessary card. I was thinking of dropping a nightmare and/or black hole until I can up my novas.

Why not drop the jade staff instead?

Why not drop the jade staff instead?

What would you recommend in it's place? 2 life for 4 damage and 5 healing every round is really nice. It's also saved me multiple times.

vamp dagger is better than the jade staff imo. even though it needs to hit to be effective, it does 6 damage and heals for that amount. all for just 2 dark quanta.
