Hello,
I've tryied and turned a lo of decks, but actually this is the only one that never bores me (and achieves some pretty good result on farming as well).
all the ??? cards are Shard of Serenity.
Mindgate is there because of all the potential unused random quanta.

Please, try it and let me know what do you think about this

You mean serendipity?

I'd say you have way too much QTs and not enough cards to back up the SoSes. If you get bad cards from SoSe, you're pretty much screwed since your other cards won't do much. Additionally, some (like PA, purify, mirror shield, mindgate) are quite situational and not really useful.

yeah, serendipity.

actually all the useless cards are the backbone of the deck, providing defense, CC and permanent control.
the extra quanta is always needed for either SoSe of mind gate.

have you tried it actually?

Furballdn isn't saying that SoSe only gives useless cards. He's saying that it can, and you should be prepared to receive them- it does happen pretty often. Useless cards, like getting several weapons, random pillars/pendulums, and multiple nonstackable shields. Let's say you play 2 supernovas and a SoSe- and then you get a pendulum, a dragon, and a gnome gemfinder. Most of that is going to be useless for a long time.

Generally, you'll want to have a base that can win by itself before adding in the SoSe. For an example, look at ralouf1's Gold League Killer V 2.0

that Gold League Killer deck is wonderful (so many comboes - amazing), I know, even if, when I tried it, it often made me lose for a lack of mana.

What I am saying is that this deck doesn't back up SoSe for offense, but for defense, and usually it works well enough to arrive at the SoSe that will yield better cards.
I use it for farming on gold arena and it scores its results for my style of play.
If you happen to try it let me know how it works for you (ok, I already got that furballdn prefers a more aggressive style).

***TRIALS RESPONSE***

SoSe is a very nice addition to a speedbow. Not only providing a lot of fun, it also creates card advantage. The deck in OP concentrates on getting offence from the shards, and a bunch of defensive cards as support, which is a nice idea. However, the choice of cards is a bit weird, as there are cards that has overlapping functions.

PC: Currently Pulverizer + Explosion + 2 Steals. Definitely overkill. I suggest to -1 Pulverizer -1 Steal. SoSe has a good chance of getting Butterfly Effect, which can be easily used on Micro Abominations or other small creature that spawn from SoSeCC: After getting rid of the Pulverizer, Eagle's Eye is a great CC weapon that goes well with OtyughShield: Mirror Shield is a strange choice. The reflective part is almost negligible, which leaves damage reduction and immaterial. My sugggestion is to replace it with Skull Buckler, another cheap shield. It uses the unused death quanta, and the chance of insta-kill is fearsome. If you are worried about it gets blown up, don't forget SoSe gives shields too.Protect Artifact/Quintessence: I know protection is very important, but they are not really practical in these kind of deck. Replace them with Boneyard can give you a chance to create an army of skeletons, either for Butterfly Effect or Mutation from your SoSe. Remember, create card advantage > protection.
