Playing a

-1 TU
-1 PhaseShield
+1 LiquidShadow

version right now.

Quantum-distribution and "clogged-up-hand" problem has already changed quite a bit by taking out those two aether-cards. LiquidShadow is rather much a gimmick to achieve more EMs and sometimes amounts to several extra turns without phase-shields in mid-game.

Graviton:  Elec or bust.
Since this strategy failed for me mostly, may I suggest to play the deck as a straight TU-deck right from the start?
This means TUing a momentumed Oty early on and using him for creature control. Combined with Electrocutor (which may finally be drawn after all) and the Shadow it makes for an assortment of slim chances to make it instead of just that one slim chance of drawing Elec early.
Of course, Grav-Quants will be too low to really cast a Titan later on but TUing a 13/7 Fireeater a couple times also does pretty well. ;-)

Too bad only that Graviton has Grav.pulls now ... can really spoil the party early.

-1 TU ....

-1 phase +1 liquid shadow  Heh.  This deck was originally based on liquid shadow healing.  I took it out, you put it back in.  It's only useful once you get the combo out, and by then the game is nearly over.  I'm sure it helps with EM, so keep it if you will.

"...graviton..."  Good advice.

I had a few games where I got unlucky with the phase shields and decided to bring out the combo a bit earlier (than at the point in time when you can cast like 4+ Titans).
LS on the Titan and then TUing those consecutively saved my life when phase shields would fail to do so ...

"..got unlucky with the phase shields..."  But obviously you got the card you replaced a phase shield with.
"...combo out earlier..."  Unless your opponent can kill all your titans, you always bring it out as soon as you have the quanta.
It can be a lot of healing if you get it out.  If.  I felt it was too inconsistent for that.  Thinking about it, DG, graviton, and maybe gemini are easier with this, so it probably is worthwhile.

"...Seism with EM..."  Good for you.  I'm still not going to try.

Seism is not too difficult...especially since I still have a mixture of aether pillars and towers.
He kept quicksanding individual pillars and towers, which was good for me.

I find this deck to have more of a chance against the harder gods than rainbow. For example, obliterator got beaten because I got my lobotomizer early. He succeeded in Gravity Forcing 1 Titan and it died (they had 2 shriekers and 4 basalt dragons) but still I won.
Should have gotten EM, but I somehow forgot to continue the phase shield chain...

More fun than rainbow decks. This deck works on the 'harder' gods (electrocutor pwns momentum!), but is a bit weak against the traditional 'easy' feral bond gods. I use 3 Flying Weapon and 1 Quint, as well as the Pulvy. The 3 Flying Weapon is to get the electrocutor / pulvy out, and then quint it to prevent congeal.
never had a phase shield bombed...loss are due to failing to continue the phase shield chain/getting Pulvy against Ferox in like the last few cards/ditch.

"...combo out earlier..."  Unless your opponent can kill all your titans, you always bring it out as soon as you have the quanta.
This actually meant any situation where you end up with not as many useful phase-shields as you would like to, be it because you just didn't draw them, because you didn't draw hourglasses/SoGs and got them exploded, because you drew HGs and SoGs and still got the shield exploded or because the FG is using momentum, lances or gas thus bipassing your shields.
Funny enough, most of these problems do result from gods that have creature control and could eventually kill your Titans. Just dumping a load on those gods by still bringing out a Shadowed Titan early and hopefully TUing him asap made games winable that usually would have just been a straight loss.

I have to take back what i posted earlier in this thread and change it to another point of view: this is the greatest FG-farmer i ever used. It´s greatest advantage is that it is easy to play, sometimes dicarding much gets on my nerves like hell, but easynes of wins speaks for itself.
It became my main FG-farming-deck though with the minimal difference i use 2 additional thunderbolts on it to make it mor fluent (helps with several smaller creatures like ulriharid, physalia, phase recluse with momentum or elite cockatrines and fire queens who are not killable with a single firestorm +keeps life markers away from fast heals so).

+1 Karma for this stunning deck!

Have you thought of adding any rage elixirs to this deck? I havent tried it yet myself, but in a similar deck in the trainer I had 2 rage elixirs, and if you can get them up on the first titan before TUing it, it adds a great amount to the damage you can do, and with their massive hp they are still generally able to survive almost any damage.

Why only epinephrine?  What about rage potion?  I'd like to get a couple of rage potions in this deck.  While they wouldn't have the same bang as the epis (+6 dmg versus +9), they have two big advantages:

1) They can also be used for creature control - take out their pesky elf/druig.
2) They can stack with each other or with epi.

What do people think about:
-1 Epi
-1 Hourglass
+2 Rage Potions

Another thought is replace a SOG with a liquid shadow.  That should allow for a greater chance of EM.  I'm going to try the following deck.  I don't know if it's better than what you laid out, but I think it would be a lot more fun:
