The game has a built in one-time auto-mulligan, where if you draw no zero quanta cost cards, it'll give you a new hand. (You can't tell when this even happens)

Having free cards like Photon or Immolation can cause you to start with no pillars... otherwise, it's just really bad luck.

Your Quanta Index is 13.5 for death and 7.33 for water, meaning that you will tend to be short on quanta with this deck and you should add more quanta sources or remove some other cards. The chance of not having any of the six pendulums in an opening hand is about 4.8% and the chance of not drawing one in the first four turns is about 1.7%.

with that few pillars it's actually quite probably to have no pillars.
6 Pillars in 34 cards gives you a chance of 5% to have a no pillar draw (with mulligan), or every 20th game.

I'd go with the rule of thumb to never use less than 1/3 of your deck as quanta sources. Even with just 10 Pillars in a 34 cards deck, your chance to draw no pillars (with mulligan) is around 0.4%, or every 250th game.

hmmmmmm. I need to test poisondials without sundials and like 4 towers :P

put in some extra arsenics and maybe animate weapons?
My default opinion of a new card is OP. Your job as a card creator will have to be to convince me otherwise.
Happy to help with questions regarding upped PvP
