Basic strategy: Use aflatoxin early, fill the opponent's side up with malignant cells, then reap in the light quanta with your buckler. The quanta comes pretty quickly, so dragons can be played relatively early and miracles can be last minute saviors.

Any suggestions?

[EmeraldDagger]

Whoa, too many shields. I suggest removing 4 shields. And you might want to cut down the Aflatoxins, 4 is enough. Consider adding in some Death creatures, so you know what to do with the spare quantas. Just to let you know, be careful with deflags and steals, because without your shield, you're very vulnerable to damage.

The shields are very important in this deck. 6 might seem like a lot, but removing 4 would really kill the light production and the defense. Also, with 6, deflags and steals aren't as harmful because there will be backups.

[EmeraldDagger]

Oh, is 4 okay? I mean, not everyone packs 6 deflags or 6 steals in their deck.

As CuCN mentioned, the shields are essential in this deck. If for some reason I don't have a shield up after aflatoxin (because of deflags and steals), I'm basically committing suicide. I've tried playing with four or five, but every once in a while I'll be shieldless and totally screwed. I put six in there just to be safe.

Also, the aflatoxins can serve as CC in longer game.

Yes I think removing 2 shields is best (so there are 4 left). Having only two would really hinder your chances of drawing one. A lot of games you may not get one at all before you die—which would happen pretty fast if you gave them a load of Malignant Cells! The combo is also critical to your counter-attack (which consists of two of the most expensive things in the game: Miracle and Light Dragons)—you're gonna want that Shield's contribution.

How do people feel about replacing those 2 Shields with Light Towers?

*Edit* I think it's an awesome name, lol.

This is my version of your deck:

With archangels being cheaper you can play them faster, I found by 1 or even 2 turns. Then dragons are great burst damage, heavy hitters. More creatures, less draw reliant. Pends make it so you dont necessarily have to get a buckler out, save up for miracle so you can be pretty sure your combo will get out. Then with low cards in the deck left anyway cause youve been defending and healing for a long struggle it will pay off, cause even if they have some PC they should have already used this on your pends, or youll be at a high chance to draw another shield anyway. I found 5 alafa to be more then enough CC. The death quanta production really high originally so I had the pendalums, I was loving the change even though it doesnt get out solar buckler any faster but easier to use the miracles.

[EmeraldDagger]

Looks great. I'm sure the OP's author will like your version. The Archangels can counter some CC as well (Owl's Eye, Shockwave, Poison, etc.).

+ Shard of Divinity?

[CrockettRocket]

+ Shard of Divinity?

you could try, might reduce damage a bit though. -1/2 arch angels -1 bone tower maybe for 1-3 divinity.

Quanta compromise?
- 4 Angels (24 )
+ 2 Dragons + 2 SoD (30 )

Would slow it down for sure, but damage output would be similar.

[CrockettRocket]

No, draw chances is effected. Slower to get damage out, less draw chances.
