Heres a new concept i tried once before and failed with.
Any ideas what the deck is made to do?
 Spoiler will have it for anybody that doesn't care to guess.
Spoiler for Hidden:
The deck is essentially made to use nymphs tears on the opponent then reverse time, and repeat.
Now for the deck. It seems to be lacking something, maybe more stall ability or healing, i'm not really sure. Also, was thinking about making a trio/rainbow with blackhole for a complete lockdown effect.
Comments would be appreciated.

Here's a slightly feeble attempt at a rainbow version.

Quanta demands look pretty big for such a deck...so a trio/rainbow might be hard to pull off.

It looks susceptible to control, CC in particular...how quick do the Nymphs usually get up?  Maybe a trio with a little aether and Anubis would improve your odds with CC decks.  Just a thought

The idea is great, both hand control and quanta control at the same time.
A few SoRs might help IMO, SoR+eternity is epic and also lowers cost for nymph tears activation.
PVE shouldn't be all about copying a deck code and converting time into electrum, score, and potentially rares.
If the only way to derive fun from a game is its PVP content, then non-hardcore players a.k.a. the mass are alienated from the hardcore community.

Not to forget that SoR can also be used on Nymph.

reminds me of a trio-lockdown i faced in the arena: water, entropy and aether, working to the same principle you want to achieve (fragging my pillars, then antimattering my new nymphs). quanta-wise, could it work better to use nymph's tears? maybe splashing a quintessence could be helpful, but like said previously, i have no idea how you'll pull off the quanta balance then.

in your testing, has the combo been pulled off fast enough? for a full lockdown seems like you'd need a 3-turn combo in place, maybe 4 if you've got eternity out fast enough.

30 cards and 4 hourglasses? do you plan on nymph bouncing in case of deckout, or are the extras there to draw out permanent control?
RE: stalling, i've found procrastination to be more than a thorn in my side when combined with eternity bouncing critters, maybe it'll help you. i think it costs 4  :time when upped, and 6 unupped, so not to big a :time drain.

if indeed you pulled it off as a  :water :time :gravity trio, you'd have all you need: healing and stall (with the shield, of course), although i've yet to see a deck busting pillars and rewinding. the closest would have to be an ultra-scorp variant (momentum'd dune scorps with a gravity nymph), but that is a duo... then again, going full rainbow would add the possibility of having earthquake (be it the spell or trident)... waitaminute: add a trident and a couple gemfinders: yes it becomes a quartet (if you go gravity as well) but the quanta lock would be atrocious... throwing ideas out, no idea how this could work in practice  ;D

ugh, at the risk of repeating myself....
"^ why didn't i think of that?"

Yeah, water quanta is more then a little stressed.  Time on the other hand is more then plentiful. Haven't run into much CC yet, but i'm sure that will be an issue with the nymphs fragility.
i am thinking about switching more towers out for more time pendulums, that may reduce the stress on the deck.

Or you could go time mark and use water pends for starting water, which might be a good idea.
I only haz green.

I like nymphs.

Problem with that. That ends up giving me far more time quanta and less water quanta then i actually need in it.

As a side note: Queen buff! This is now a bit more viable! :D
