My own take on a deja vu deck :] And yes, you heard me right: 3 turn kills. Although, you need some luck with the quantum towers and an opening hand of: 1 TQ, 3 SN, 1 deja vu, 1 epinephrine, 1 unstoppable, and a TU.
Turn 1: play everything - 24 damage
Turn 2: multiply! - 72 damage
Turn 3: win!
There are 2 ways to play this deck: play everything when you can or prepare a bomb. The former is quite straightforward. But for the latter, you have to stall and save up enough quanta to drop your hand in one go. It's quite effective against decks with heavy creature control.
It's mostly for fun, but can be a force to be reckoned with in PvP. The reactions I get from some people

Do you need that many towers?

Precognition speeds up the deck
Novas are easy to get thanks to auto-mulligan
Time Pendulums generate specific quanta needed
No extra cards
You deck has some problems:
Quantum Towers are slow. If you want to use Supernovae, use Entropy Pendulums instead.
Twin Universe's cost is really high. By the time you get that much Aether quanta, you've won.
Basilisk Blood slows you down, in preventing you from dealing damage and clogging up your hand.

Take a look at this deck (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,11894.msg157230.html#msg157230). It's got several advantages:The deck's already been tested extensively and has been tweaked to my liking. I've been running it for a while, but I decided to put it up on the forums today.

I've tried this deck, and I'm not saying it's bad or anything, but I wanted to make something that was even faster. From my own testing of this deck, I've found that I could get ~18% 3 turn kills from a set of 30 games.

I agree that quantum towers are slow, but they're nice to have in case there are no supernovas. If I ran entropy pendulums, I wouldn't really be able to do anything else with the entropy quanta besides supernovas.
Twin Universe's cost is really high. By the time you get that much Aether quanta, you've won.
TU's cost is high, but all you really need is one and you don't really have to play one to win. It just gives the potential for very very fast games.
Basilisk Blood slows you down, in preventing you from dealing damage and clogging up your hand.
The Basilisk Bloods are there for a little bit of control. They take care of pesky creatures and buy you a little bit more time.

This deck is a rehash of a much older deck, Deja Pu (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,541.msg5413.html#msg5413). I like it.I feel special. JM linked to my deck. :D Incidentally, Deja Pu actually inspired Paradox, too. XD I like this deck, and although it does have the potential for a three turn kill, it just isn't as stable as other Deja Vu decks. It's a good rusher, but if the QT's don't work the way you need them too, you could be waiting quite a few precious turns for the quantum.

i was also fooling around with them. but noted that the speedbow-base needs mostly 2 turns to get running.
that was the reason i turned for my nova/pendulums/precog version.
unfortunaly i had to take out the tu's (witch just speed up things like hell here).
quadruple machinegun -- little things get dangerous (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,11894.0.html)
...wavedash allready stated some arguments, why i came up with my setup.
The deck's already been tested extensively and has been tweaked to my liking. I've been running it for a while, but I decided to put it up on the forums today.
only one thing i would comment: 1 more epinephrine wont hurt this deck.

This deck isn't very good. 0-2 vs Bronze league...Yeah you reeeeally cant judge a deck on 2 games. At all.
This deck looks really fun, I love nice combo decks, and while they might not be as reliable as some other decks, they make up for it with the fun / epic factor.
+karma :)

SoR is a great combo in this deck, since you'll get free 2 Dejas! And Basilisk is a bit off the deck IMO, seriously~You are outdated.

P.S: Deja-ing removes the skill *facepalm* Sorry for my noobishness :D
