You indeed need a bunch of luck to get a fast SN. Isn't it better to play with 6 SNs, some upgraded  :entropy pendulums and the mark of the element you use most? That's why everybody uses Grabows (graboid-based rainbows), with  :earth mark. Because Graboids are the best attack/cost ratio creatures. The quanta of the other elements can be spend in more cheap attack sources (like Lycans) and defense/CC like Lightning, Fog Shield, Rage Potion (synergy with Lycans), shockwave, etc. Arsenic and Discord are two good weapons.

I like it to be a pillarless deck, but i will definitly test it with more SN and pillars, Thank you very much.
I have played 100 games against platinum decks in the Arena, that is far from enough to draw any conclusions on a binary problem, I will do it anyway.
My win-rate was 39 %
If you play 100 games you should win somewhere between 31 and 47 games, anything out of this is statistically unlikely.
This deck is strong against changes in the metagame, so these values should not change too much.
I have played elements and magic for many years, and your own results will of course vary from mine, depending on how good you are at evaluating when to play aggresively and when not to.

I doubt it does that well when plat is rush and denial heaven. Denials and stalls have a field day, rushes might have marginal issues depending on type, but can still leave you dead before you leave them dead in a lot of cases.

I will remember to include information about how many of each type of deck i meet, and how well my deck performs, the next time I make a statistical test.
My gut tells me there where a lot of denial decks, and that those counted for most of my losses. I seldom have a problem with rush decks, This deck can often control them and win by dealing 10-20 damage each turn.
