Fooling around with deck ideas, I came up with:

Not totally sold on the SoV's...
The idea of the deck is to get the Soul Catchers collecting death Q, the Spiders dealing damage and to use Fractal on the virus. But something isn't quite right; the deck is too dependent on the order of cards dealt.
Any suggestions n toughening this deck up or is it not worth the bother?

WHy fractal virus??? ME CONFUSED. U dont need to fractal them to get enough quanta.
Also take out at least 2 soul catchers out. U dont need that many if u have a mark of death. Maybe some aether pends?

Big bonewalls.

Dropping the SoVs is a good start, so you can get the good stuff faster. Maybe the weapons too.

Also, Phase Recluses aren't so great in a fractal deck, unless you have a ton of aether towers. Death creatures are a much better with all the death generated. Either Flesh Recluse for more speed, or Ivory Dragon for more power. A 4th Fractal is probably more helpful than not too, I don't like to do Fractal decks with less than 4.

That should leave you with more stability, and a smaller deck. Hope it helps.

great advice, thanks!

***TRIALS RESPONSE***

Hmm, the base idea is pretty good, but I would suggest removing what doesn't have to do with the death effects, so the SoV's and spiders. While they can be usefull in other decks, they are not complementary to your deck, and there are many other cards out there that you can use.

Also, I would throw the arsenic out if you are to use electrocutors. While arsenic is an awesome card, lobotomizing can help you against cards that would screw your combo up.

Considering i just literally removed all of the damage in your deck, I would add in vultures. Considering you are making a lot of death effects, they can grow big very quickly. Easily outdamage those spiders you currently have. Also, vultures - could - be the target of fractal, and then you fractal retroviruses, and you have lots of vultures that are all very high on damage.

I would most probably add a fractal, just so that you draw more of them.

While I usually say that 30 card decks are the best, this one - could - have a bit more, considering that your big amount of bonewalls can stall long enough.

Just by the way, I am kind of jealous that I didn't have the fractal retroviruses idea by myself -.- Those are the kind of fun decks i love to try lol.

If you take my advices on this deck, it would end up looking a bit like this :
