Mark- Time

-Meant for PVP, but wins 75 plus percent of the time against Half-Bloods.
-Obviously, a high variance deck with the number of cards, and can lose in miserable fashion. 
-Is weak to a pillarless Fire Cremation rush.  Very little chance of victory. 
-Decent against most other rushes that don't have tons of upgrades. 
-Pretty good against other garden variety Time/Rainbow decks. 

It's an average deck, but does quite well in PVP so far.  Thoughts?

Good deck, but definitely needs to be smaller. Here's how you can slim it down.

REMOVE:
2 X Reverse Time (There are better creature control alternatives)
3 X Sundial (There are better defense alternatives)
1 X Purify (Very situational)
4 X Quantum Pillar (Removing everything else reduces the need for pillars)

That will slim down the deck and make it stand a higher chance against rush decks.

Otherwise, decently built deck.

I've definitely debated taking out the Purify and especially 2 Reverse Times many, many times.  However, I'm surprised you also mentioned the Sundials; I don't just use them for defense, but also accelerating my card drawing.  I think it's completely overpowered, and if anything, I was considering adding 1 additional Sundial to my deck. 

At any rate, thanks a lot for the feedback man, it's genuinely appreciated.

The thing is, since Sundial only lasts one turn, it stops the opponent's attack and lets you draw a card. However, if you didn't have it in the deck in the first place, then you would've already had the card that you would've drawn with the Sundial without wasting the quantum, and without waiting an extra turn. A Precognition would have the same effect.

That's not completely accurate either; yes, if I didn't have a Sundial, I could draw that same card, but with Sundial, I get an extra turn's worth of mana, which is sometimes the difference between being able to play it or not. 

Ultimately, it amounts to the same thing; a one turn staller. 

If you think there are better defensive options, what would you suggest?  An Oty?  Also, I will end up having way too much Time mana without them, so should I put in a fifth Electrum/Golden Hourglass?

I agree, it does need to be smaller, but the Steals were a great idea for this deck.
