1. You focus on too much and try to accomplish two objectives/strategies. This isn't a fatty deck and shouldn't strive to be one. Focus on one synergy and cut your deck to 30 or 31 cards. Remove all shards of wisdom. If you are going to run them anyways, one target is always used for shard of wisdom. Multiple target would just make Psions.

2. Wind pillar to Aether pillar balance is off. Get rid of two dragonflies and use two more wind pillars.
3. If you are going to use Shard of Freedom, Phase Dragons are too expensive to be your only airborne creatures. Replace three of them with three Wyrms.
4. In addition to #2, get rid of three aether pillars and add one more pendulum. You should have six pendulums, three Air pillars, and four Aether pillars.
5. Add three lightnings.
6. In summary: Three Air Pillars, Four Aether Pillars, Six Aether-Air Pendulums, Three Wyrms, Five Shards of Freedom, Three Phase Dragon, Three Dimensional Shields. 30 cards and much better use of both elements. All of the creatures are airborne so SoFree works. You have a nice 9 turn defense going. If you want, you could replace one of the SoFrees with an extra wyrm. You can replace shields with shockwaves since that would add to the what I like to call "rush" aspect of the deck. Keep these tips and my my you would look rather fancy.

[1] This is an arena deck. It doesn't seem that this was taken into your consideration.
[2] Your solution to the Air/Aether ratio is to change the source of Air. Also, in what direction do you feel it's off? That it favors Aether too much? If so, trade Aether Pillars for Air Pillars since it's a triple mark.
[3] Triple Aether Mark. Really reliable in chunks and actually bound to have excess. That makes Phase Dragons a decently reliable summon for a SoFr deck.
[4] Triple Aether Mark. Does he really need more Aether generation?
[5] You've asked him to cut his deck size down, so what should be removed to make room?
