Discarding:
Deck 1&3: Obvious choice is obvious.
Deck 2: Keep 3x Antlion (Could be Dragons as well)
Deck 4: Keep 6x SS, 2x EA, 2x Tits

I'd rather keep 2x dragos and one EQ or an antlion from deck2.

[Avenger]

Keep drags, the antlions won't do any damage.

[Spielkind]

2 drag, 1 eq, i prefer.

[Terroking]

Well, regardless of he deck we use next round, it'll need to have some damage, and we can't really run Antlions as our "kill slowly but surely" cards. What we need is the most damage per card possible, so Dragons are a good choice. The last card I'd pick an Antlion for, or if not that then an EQ. Both should be useful, but the Antlion is always so whereas EQ isn't good vs. Pillarless.

[Kakerlake]

The problem with the Dragons is, that they are too expensive to play.
Having 3 Dragons require more than 10 Pends to collect enough quanta to play them. Leaves not much other cards to be played. While Antlions deal 4 dmg for 2 Quanta, which is not only fast, but allows to add other stuff into the deck.
Changing one Antlion into a Dragon might be a good idea though.

So if we keep 2 Antlions and 1 Dragon, the deck could look like this:

Which is all right IMO.

Or we could even build a Would-like-to-be-a-Stall xD :

I dunno, as long as we have Dim Shields I'd say keep the EAs. Atm we have Dims, Phoenixes, and AM, which is a lot more options than most other elements when they get this low on cards. At least for this round I'd say hold off on the converting since we don't have to play, which deck we use will be best determined by who we're up against (Probably Aether)
