Newbie having difficult with rainbow FG deck (SG's deck unupped)

[Evermore]

Running the #6 deck: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,132.0.html

Only changes I have made so far is swapping purify for miracle, owl's eye for eternity, and adding an hourglass

Upgraded cards I have so far so far are:
 boneyard (won it)
 SoG (Not currently in my deck)

Rares I have are:
 Eternity, Miracle (using in this deck)
SoG , lobotomizer (Not using in this deck)

   Started a couple days ago and have been following SG's stickied thread on this board.  It 'works', but my win/loss with the anti-FG rainbow deck seems really darned low.  I am only really winning when several factors are in my favor.  Basically, I need to have one of the easier gods, and get strong early draws.  Unfortunately, this only adds up to roughly 20% of the time (could be bad luck, but it is still shamefully low =().  I did a lot of research and put thought into refining my strategy, and am quite sure it is not flawed.  Any tips/ideas on how to improve my win rate?

Some of my thoughts:
removing nova:  Helpful for getting stuff out early, but not entirely sure it is worth it
less/more cards:  Really not sure on this one, but I have had people recommend both to me
Adding Quint/Protect artifact:  Not sure they are a good idea when I cannot consistently beat Fgs with little/no removal
Farm a pulverizer/lobo:  would this be worth it? Both can be damned powerful no doubt, but somewhat situational for the deck perhaps.  (especially lobo)
Quantity of Pillars/hourglass/nova/overall cards:  I was thinking adjusting the balances of cards in my deck might speed it up
Shard of gratitude:  Was lucky enough to nab one in top 50, would it be a good addition?

Thanks in advance for any help/advice

P.S.  Awesome game judging of what I have seen so far, I love that it is actually difficult =0

That deck is for the times when sundials lasted 2 tuns, not 1, as it is now. For a cheap deck with the nerfed sundials I suggest SG's almost unupped deck (though you won't get close to 50%, as that's kinda what upped decks get atm).
Here is the deck: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,1615.0.html

Thanks for the link! You are a pillar of strength and integrity!

OOC, what was this sundial nerf people keep talking about?

Also, what would you think about adding miracle or SoG?  Obviously bonds have more power potential, but miracle and SoG might be nice for the guaranteed healz....

Before when you used sundial creature couldn't attack for 2 turn now its 1 turn

Erm... I'd rather be the awesome master of the awesome LIGHT
Before, the SD would last 2 turns, whereas now it only lasts 1.
I suggest you add the Miracle only, since only 1 SoG would be quite useless. Maybe even add the Lobo or 2 quints](I suggest quints)? I would also add another rain of fire and another bone wall since they are very important to get earl in some games and in some you just need them early. But if you added all these you might need another pillar or 2. Well, that's what I would do if I had to start all over again.

Prolly gonna start with SGs set up in the link, plus:

1x Miracle
2x Quint
1x RoF (2nd)
2x pillar

and 2 of the following three, (undecided)

1x quint (3rd)
1x bonewall (2nd)
1x SoG

I doubt you need a 3rd quint. I mean you don't need too quint the druid AND the queen. Usually one of them is enough.
