• 1 of every rare weapon except for Fahrenheit.
• Consistently beats Top 50, but may need more trials.
• Occasionally gets screwed with 7 weapons in hand with no Animate Weapon for the next few draws.
• Very important to memorize weapon HPs when opponents upped OTYs are out.
• Remember to hang on to your animates (unless they're playing mass Steals) until you have the mana to cast a replacement weapon, unless the few extra points of damage will win it for you.
• Haven't tested it in PvP yet (trainer img), but I think I'd be fun to find out.
• Originally had more Supernovas and less Towers, but the deck really doesn't need much electrum with such an even spread.
• May add 1 or 2 more towers and bump deck to 32 cards.
• 2 Improved Steals for good measure (and possible weapons to animate).
• 1 Firestorm to make good use of Fire electrums left over from the missing Fahrenheit.

(Or should it be: "Flying With Scissors" Deck?)

I think I made something similar once and it didn't work too well...

Interesting and fun deck

I would take even less weapons. I would slip in 4 more Novas and take out:
Vamp Dagger
Discord
Jade Staff
Eternity

Mostly, I chose to remove "weaker" weapons, or weapons that would be too expensive in this situation.

Jade and Vampire are the two that I'm eyeballing most, but Jade is a pretty good animated target (for the cost).  Vampire just ends up being a 4/4 for 2 that only gives you 4 HP.  Darkness also already has the Steals to maximize use of electrum, so that's an easy choice.  Jade ends up being a 4/7 that gives 5HP for 2 .  I'm on the fence with it.  Sometime's it's the first (and only) creature out.

-1 Vampire Dagger
+1 Supernova

(For now.)

(Oops, edited before you replied.  Yeah, I figured as much while I was typing.)

Not a bad idea. However, now that you have a Time mark, your Supernovas are less useful. I'd recommend replacing them with Quantum Towers.
