This is something I've been playing around with for a little while, is my first real attempt at a solid  and original deck, and is still a work in progress. The idea came to me after reading somewhere that mutation was apparently a good defensive card because it can neutralise very hard hitters, or remove a creature's effect. The only problem with it being that you generally leave your opponent with a 5/5 creature that could very well kill you.

That's where this deck comes in. After a slow start, play wings as necessary, mutate any airborne creatures with high attack or anything with an effect you don't like and beatdown with the abominations.

Haven't tried using dragons instead of abominations, but the quanta balance seems to be about right as it is. Although I've only just realised there's only SIX pendulums in there. There can also be some low-entropy problems if you need to get out a Butterfly Effect.

Needs more entropy quanta generation.

swap a pen for a entropy pillar and another pen for a air plilar?

That's a clever way to stop airborne enemies.

Not as much as you'd think. Mutation is the only thing you need entropy quanta for at the start of a match and can run off the mark alone, whilst Butterfly Effect and the Abominations can be held back for a while to slowly whittle down the enemy because it's a stall. The main time I can think of where you need entropy quanta at the start is vs mono-aether, because there's nothing you can do against Phase Dragons.

I'll give it a shot: this is the first non-mono deck I've created so I'm a bit iffy as to exactly what to do with my pendulums and pillars.

That's a clever way to stop airborne enemies.

Thanks!

Currently running with -2 dragonfly +1 Entropy Pillar +1 Air Pillar

Apologies for the double post and necro, but I've been looking at this deck recently and I reckon I've managed to make it fairly decent:

The biggest problem seemed to be the very high QI, and I've managed to bring it down to ~5.6 for both air and entropy. I've dropped one of the Butterfly Effects, because one should be enough to eventually break through any permanent based stalls, and removed a couple of Dragonflies, which were masquerading as air pillars. I needed that fifth abomination for a little bit of extra power and speed, with 31 cards to round it out in case you get a chance for a deckout.

Games can still be radically different from one another depending on your initial draw, but you should have enough factors in your hand to produce something to your advantage. Between the Owl's Eye, Butterfly Effect and using Mutation on your own creatures you've got a bit of room to adapt what you're facing.

Sorry for the necro again, but it needs more Butterfly Effect. If they have ANY CC, 1 BE isn't enough.
