So. It actually works, but it needs a fairly decent draw to work. But if you can get around 3 pendulums and 2 E. towers and a quinted butterfly by turn 4 or 5, you'll probably win as long your mindgates aren't the last cards.
The pillar ratio needs a bit of tuning though, would like some help there. Maybe Entropy mark and then Aether pendulums? I'm not sure.

Strategy is simple. Buttergly effect your only creature, quint your only creature, zap those annoying creatures on the other sides, then draw your opponents lovely cards with mind gate. Phase Shields REALLY slow this deck down.
