The main idea of this deck is to use mitosis on the dragons and then use the shards of readiness since it allows time creatures to use their skill twice.  I am debating on removing the pharohs, but when the shard is used they will be able to generate 2 scarabs in one turn which is nice but with the power of the dragons I think I could do without. 

I am looking for streamlining this deck to be faster and more efficient.  Thoughts?

Why not use pendulums? Also take out 2-3 dragons and take out the sundials. They need light quanta to give draws and so all they do is stall which isn't really needed and can often work against you when facing an opponent with PC. Replace 2 sundials with pendulums and the 3rd with another fate egg or hourglass.

Ok thanks very much.  this is what I updated it to.  I added the procrastination to slow down the opponent, though I kind of want to add phase shields instead but that would require some aether pends/towers

Nooo! You want to add way too much to your deck. If you want to stream line it then try not to think about other elements. Also, when I said add pendulums I meant change most of the pillars into pendulums. Also, use http://www.quantum-index.com/ to check the quanta balance in your deck. The closer to 5 an element is the more balanced it is. Above 5 means there is more quanta generation than you need and below means less quanta generation than you need.

edit: Also, I think keeping one of the pharaohs could prove useful, then again that could be because I just got beat by a deck revolving around a ton of pharaohs in Gold farming lol.

Alright well I changed it a bit and replaced instead of added the pends.  I would add the pharoh if I could somehow get some graity quanta in.  Then that would also allow me to throw in a few momentums

More shards of readiness, if you can. Also when you have a fair few then having a couple of nova to help pay for them is useful.

I'd cut down on the number of dragons so you don't just get a handful of them. Some precogs or sundials (if you've added nova) would be a good thing to replace them with.

*Some cards are upgraded just for convenience sake. If you don't have the upgrades as presented, don't worry

In this deck,

• Number of dragons, mitosis, and SOR is balanced (4 ea)
• Number of time factory and pend is balanced (QI around 5)
• Weapon, hourglass taken out

-Hourglass: Don't think you need them in a 30-card duo deck. You need to pull all your time quarta towards your dragons, as mitosis and SOR is useless w/o dragons on the field
-Weapon: Healing is nice, but doesn't do that much damage compared to the SOR mitosis dragon. You can put it back in instead of a factory if you wish, or a heal.

alright thx for the advice guys   I dont have any more shards of readiness or I would put more of them in, also eternity would be a nice addition for creature control.  So far the deck does great against most bronze arena decks, just gets destroyed against mono aether with the phase shields which sadly allot of arena decks are that I face .  I was thinking on getting some overdrives and combining that with the novas to be able to blast through those shields.

You can take a look at my thread, i got an upped version which you are free to modify. It has been thought to OTK FGs and it's also a badass gold killer. Mito-Dragon FG OTK (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,32292)

that is one bad ass deck :O  Once I get enough gold I will try that out.  With phase shields and the quantum towers most of the decks I have problems with will be obsolete . Chimera/overdrives to go through phase shields, quantum towers to prevent pest decks, and phase shields to chain to get the win.  I like it very much
