would like tips and good entropy deck https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=35023.msg441289#msg441289

Current deck: 10 Amethyst Pillar, 5 Abomination, 4 Purple Dragon, 3 Dissipation Shield, 4 Chaos Seed, 3 Mutation, 3 Antimatter, 3 Pandemonium, 1  :death Pendulum, 1  :earth Pendulum, 1  :gravity Pendulum, 1  :time Pendulum.  I would like to keep my deck under fifty-ish cards, to draw the good stuff fast. I can hang on with only a few HPs if I antimatter some powerful creatures or have enough pillars and a dissipation shield, my mutations give me really good stuff (I got a blue crawler [5/5] with endow and the enemy had a weapon [it dealt 4 damage a turn and scrambled my quanta. it was an entropy weapon, too. can't recall the name at the moment], so it ended up a 9/9 with scramble!), such as nymphs and powered up creatures, and mutating the abominations usually heals them or makes them into something much cooler. I was planning to switch the  :death pendulum for a  :darkness pendulum.

Well, I'm not the best at designing decks, but my first thought would be to focus on something. All those pendulums mean you won't get what you want fast. Instead of pendulums, I would use a couple quantum pillars.

I swapped the  :death pendulum for a  :darkness one and got a dagger. thing is, the pendulums provide not only entropy, but the most common quanta used for effects. I get a lot of Parallel Universe from my Chaos Seeds and Pandemoniums, so I get at least those few quanta to use the effects.

Your deck looks like this (I <3 pics):
Hover over cards for details, click for permalink

First off, Swap the Pends for Quantum Pillars. They produce each 3 Random Quanta, so you'll not only get the ones you want, but maybe also a random :water Quanta to play the Mitosis of that random Mutant Ice Dragon. Also, one single Quantum Pillar can already produce all the Elements you might want, instead of just one other Element which the Pends produce.

Next, I'd do two things: 1st: slim it down to 30 if possible, 2nd: fix Quantum Index (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,5676.0.html).
To slim it down, remove cards you hardly are ever able to play due to lack of Quanta. Like Dragons. And some other cards which you draw just slightly too often.
- 2 Dragons
- 1 Chaos Seed
- 1 Pandemonium
- 1 Diss Shield
- 1 Antimatter
Now, the remaining cards have a total cost of 82, so a neat ammount of Pillars would be 16.4 (I count Mark twice, 4 Quantum Pillars as 1, so we'd need 11 Amethyst Pillars).
You can of course remove other cards, depending on your playstyle, but I chose these to keep the deck on and about the same. Just smaller.

The new Deck would look like this:

Use a deck picture plz. Well for one, can take out the other pendulums, since it looks like a mono deck. Take out a dissipation shield and the mutations, chaos seed and pandemonium. Make your deck a simple mono :entropy with abominations and dragon for attack, and antimatter for controlling your opponent's creatures.

I'd tend to agree with furballdn (make the deck more focused), but if you really want to keep the Mutations then Novas would probably be better than QTs. I discovered that when running a mostly mono - :entropy mutation deck.

Btw, unupped Mutations are better for CC than upped, but Chaos Seeds are better than either.

I'm still wondering if there is any reason for those weird pend you had in the original deck ?

Answered already.

All on all, I think kaker gave you a pretty neat deck, though on my opnion you'd be better off taking those 4 quantum pillars away and just going mono, with mutation as CC - At least until you upgrade Mutation.
