Quintescence, Purple nymph, lobotomizer. Makes for some mean CC
Dragons + Fractal for late game dps.

Oh yeah, and a bad kitty chasing a butterfly.

Haven't tried this one on any FGs yet, but it works pretty well against half bloods.
Whether the glass is half full or half empty is a moot point. It is always filled to the brim. It is only a matter of by what. The real question is: What fills you?
If your zombie plan is
kill -9 `ps l | awk '{print $2" "$3" "$9}' | grep "Z" | awk '{printf("%s ",$2)}'`

***TRIALS RESPONSE***

I can see from your choice of cards that you're preparing for the late game. Purple Nymph + Lobotomizer is potent creature control, while the late-game Purple Dragon Fractal is a great finisher that also happens to let the deck win a stall vs. stall matchup.

However, it's not guaranteed that you'll get to the late game. Purple Nymph is an expensive and fragile creature. At a casting cost of 9 :entropy and an ability cost of 4 :entropy, you generally won't see it hit play and ready to use its Antimatter on a stick until at least 4-5 turns in. By that time, a fast rush deck will be able to put at least a few creatures on the table and put you in a highly disadvantageous position.

To remedy this, I would add Lightnings and a lone Pandemonium (for those situations when your opponent spams high attack, low HP creatures faster than you can get rid of them with just Lightnings and Demons) for some early defence, and replace some of the Purple Nymphs with Maxwell's Demons so that your control arrives earlier. Lightnings can also help in dealing a final burst of damage against stalls. With more sources of control and not needing to rely on Purple Nymph and Maxwell's Demon to get rid of creatures, we can then remove some copies of Quintessence.

I like the concept for this deck, however it does appear to be short on damage. If you do not get your dragons early enough, or the quanta to play them, you will not be dealing nearly enough damage in time to avoid deckout. You also appear to not be generating enough Entropy to fuel the expensive cards you have in the deck. I would drop the shields to get you down to 30 cards, giving you better draw chances. I would get rid of the Schrodinger's Cat / Butterfly Effect combination because it needs a 3 card combo to survive creature control, or a 2 card combo which will be the primary focus of the creature control after the nymphs are quinted. I do understand why you would want to keep it, though, as it doeas add some permanent control which would help to avoid auto loss to Dim Shields. The Fractal has to go, in my opinion, as you do not have enough quanta to play it on anything useful. I messed around with the quanta balance a little bit, switching a purple nymph for a dragon and messing with the Pends and Pillars, and this is what I came up with:
