Chapuz: OTK everything!
A mix of veterans are showed through this deck. May the power of 4 be forever in your drawing fast favors.

This deck works with or without upped rage potion. I have it unupped here to be like chapuz and have everything I can unupped to make it most noob friendly. You can try trading the SN's for novas and the AT's for QT's but I tried putting in as much SN as possible to help out with the aether quanta. One game had 29 aether exact.

104 DAMAGE Upped rage potion is 112 Damage.

Play in this card order: Psion-->improved blessing-->rage potion-->skyblitz-->tu-->tu-->tu.

Glad I got named in the OP, although I wouldn't really call myself a veteran unless at least a game version passed by, but that's another story.

As for the deck, it looks pretty nice, although I always hated quanta-splitting (and thus many trios and quartets).
I'd rather go for 6 Novae and drop the Amethysts Tower, they'd be dead draws and will make you have a lot of spare quanta there. The space you gained COULD (I said, I hate quanta splitting stuff like this) go to Air, maybe a couple of pillars.

Given that you won't need to rack up much quanta (only 22 Aether quanta is the problem, of which 6 are given by Novae), I think you may aim for moar speed.

In the end, I'd most likely do:
-2 SN
+2 Nova
-4 Amethyst Tower
+1 Aether Tower
+1 Wind Tower
+1 Shard of Bravery

You'll have one more slot, and it'll either go to Aether or Wind Tower, IMHO, unless you have better plans. I think 1 Wind Tower is okay, because if it stays even only one turn on the field, it will have given you the quanta you needed.

I think it is greatly beaten up by various denial decks (devourers, earthquake and BH) and a random Spell reflecting shield (lulz), aside from that, it -should- be okay.

because there is spare quanta devourers shouldnt be effective. Because its nova powered earthquakes shouldnt be effective.  Like I said in the OP, you can mess with the quanta balence (dont go another bravery, too fast and your hand gets clogged more towards the end. Maybe improved antimatter instead. Or anther amythyst, sundial (which is what I would do), or wind tower. Also if i wanted more speed id change the sundials to precogs, tried it, never got aether quanta. To ensure you get the full 22 probably do what I just said. Maybe can -1 sundial to precog.

Just gonna throw this out there, you need 7 to use all the dials effectively AND do the combo. So maybe stripping out SNs isn't the best course of action

Could always leave 1 SN.

Well, my fixes depended on each other, with a fifth Bravery, I'd feel no need for the fifth sundial draw.
I never liked any Nova-Supernova ratio, in my opinion it should always go all out on something. I still do believe the amethyst pillars should be dropped, though. If anything, you can power that lone SN via the other Novae, as inconsistent as it can get.

Also, let's face reality, this really would die (lose the OTK, at least) to a single devourer if it went and ate Air quanta, but that's 1/12 to do so. I don't think anything changes if you change the ratio of the quanta source. What's more, with a Wind Tower you should manage against Devourer, making Light quanta the only problem (and only if you already drew with sundials).

Against devourers who have finally managed to take 1 air quanta you just wouldnt otk. And the game goes by so fast that usually a single devourer wont win. 2 is good, 3 is safe. 4 and you know your not gonna otk. Also sundials are better then speed because you need the aether quanta. Go ahead and try it for yourself, then try the original version. Dont count any devourer games when doing the comparison. Also I've started a thread in studies and statistics, after doing studies on this deck, for this specific one, 4 nova 2sn is perfect which is great because of skyblitz being 8. It has come to my attention if people want to upgrade rage elixer instead of psion that would work and would give same 104 damage.
