this is my first post here and my first actual deck idea. After some testing and tinkering, this deck works well, even if it runs into a few snags. It handles Bronze arena relatively easy and probably AI3 I'd love feedback from you guys!

Run 12 light pillars, no other light cards. This allows easy access to emerald dragons.

6 rays won't cut it, especially with other light cards in the deck, even with two mitosis.

After some thoughts on making it better while adding OmegaReaper's advice I came up with this little rework

[omegareaper7]

You don't need light pendulums, they will end up getting you quanta much slower then light pillars. You need 6 rustlers, 4 isn't good enough when your deck busts if you have none. And shard of gratitude really isn't very helpful for a deck like this. Cockatrices/dragons > frogs, you should be betting more then enough quanta.

Sancs and miracle should also be removed, once again, you are, or at least should be, using 95% of your light quanta to drop dragons super fast.

what about an adren for the RoL? It would accelerate

Okay, i see what you mean but im not going for rush. The sanc is there for heal and quanta protection from devourers/pests and other qunata hitting cards it also stops hand targeting cards. What im aiming for is synergy. Though looking at your post before this one I see what you mean.

Arden?

Arden?

If you're wondering what adren means I think he meant adrenaline. Also when you said Arden did you mean adren?

Aside from first turn pests, they are completely irrelevant. You are going to be generating a lot more quanta then they can drain, and all you need is one life quanta to get a rustler out. Sanc isn't helping that, because at that point, they already have a huge head start, can steal your sanctuary, run vampire dagger/dusk mantle and you pretty much lost. It doesn't really have any more synergy in this then it would in a light rush. It is better to maximize the speed of the deck.

You also NEED 6 rustlers. They are keys to the deck, if you don't draw one, you lose. Run 6.
