Hover over cards for details, click for permalink

This is my first attempt at a Rainbow deck.  It's designed to get cards out as quickly as possible, and then use Adrenaline to stamp over the opponent before an adequate response can be made.  Right now, it's probably a bit bloated at 45 cards. 
Quantum Tower: Rainbow deck, so Quantum it is.
Nova: Lets you play a majority of creature choices on turn one.
Virus: Quick Death mark creature that doubles as removal for devourers like Otyughs and Scarabs.
Rustler: Default Life speed creature.  Use  :light to generate  :life :life to make Adrenaline more accessible.
Adrenaline: With tiny creatures as the focal point, Adrenaline allows them to hit like the big boys.  If possible, target Firefly.
Deflagration: Shields are a major problem for this deck.  Use this to get rid of them.
Purify: It's available for the cost of a single Nova, prolongs life and purges Poison.  Why not?
Blessing: Blessing + Adrenaline = Dragon-level damage.
Dragonfly: Costs  :air, generates  :air.  Ensures you'll have the quanta to cast Firefly.
Firefly: Believe it or not, this is the deck's heavy hitter.  Generates  :light to make Blessing easier to cast.
Vampire's Stiletto: This is the only rare weapon that can drop on turn 1 with a single Nova.  Life gain is a bonus.
Lightning: Remove Dragons, or speed the opponent's demise.
Any helpful suggestions to pare it down or otherwise improve it?

Hmm, with only 6 novas, it might be hard to find quanta, and if you get no novas, this deck becomes ridiculously slow.
I'd recommend trimming it down. (Have you checked out Pillarless: The Creation of Life?
This deck looks a lot like it. If you haven't seen it already, take a look!

I haven't seen it yet; I did do a search to try to make sure I wasn't posting a clone.  Thanks for the tip!
