I've been using this deck in PvP for a long time, and it has almost never failed me. It's also the first deck that I built (instead of copying something), and it was one of my first few decks. Yes, it's not 30 cards, yes, it only has 1 nymph and 2 discords, so yes, there's a small chance of drawing them, but believe me, it works fine. Even though I think it's great as is, advice is still appreciated. There's no testing, since PvP isn't really stable, so you'll just have to trust me.

If it help I can tell that's a good deck I faced it a few times in BL and sometimes lost (but then I expected it :p)
Litlle issue : this deck is having hard time vs deck with no creature or immortal creature, good vs creatures based deck.

Nice deck, it's very balanced! . There's probably no room for cats+ butterfly effect for permanent control.

Yeah, I think I use it too much.

It might be better vs creature decks, but it still has damage to beat some others.

@burpcow: Hmm, I never even thought about adding PC to it, even though it's a good idea. You're right though, it probably doesn't have room for that.

seems like a good deck. I Might try it.

***TRIALS RESPONSE***
Well, the deck is off to a good start. You have a good damage output, lots of control and a good defense provided by discord/diss shield/AM combo. But 34 cards for this kind of mono might be too much. So, in my opinion, you should get rid of the diss shields, since with 2 AM, the nymph and the maxwell's demons is enough, and you might find situations where your shield doesn't let you play your other cards. Then i'd get rid of 1 abom and 1 pillar. Then, i'd split the pillars with pendulums. Its a known and cheap way to add a little EQ protection, and you don't lose anything for doing it.
I added a third discord since they're more useful drawn earlier and another antimatter to help you draw them earlier.

Its a lot more tighter in quanta, but it works since its a mono. If you want to make it more quanta reliable, get rid of the purple nymph, one pillar, and add 2 AMs, but it seemed like you built your deck around her so i didn't want to disrupt your original idea too much, otherwise it stops being your deck.

If what you want to aim for is a more offensive mono, i'd suggest a change like this:

Its a lot more different than your original idea, and its more standard.

I've used very similar decks in tournaments before with a lot of success.  Of course, it helps that I was recently blessed with my 4th purple nymph :p  I'd probably go more with what Jocko posted, only I'd ditch the abominations, and add 2 more pillar/pend and some more dragons or maybe antimatter.  This deck needs more quanta to run than might be obvious at first; the nymph and demons use it up, and dragons/antimatter are expensive, and you're really screwed if you don't have like 3-4 pillars on turn 1.

[NikaZaslavsky]

Ok. I completely agree with the pillar/pend split (I should have done it before), but I'd like to keep at least 1 diss shield, because it might be very useful against a mono aether since you might have extra quanta from not playing anything (dim shields useless-ifying creatures, immortal creatures ignoring AM), so the shield might help until the shield chain breaks. -1 abom and pillar, sure, + AM and discord, sure.

Would something like this be better?

Probably need to get rid of another card, but I don't know which one.

[Jocko]

A demon, a pillar, an abom or nothing. 31 card decks aren't that bad.
