I agree that it needs more creatures. They're controlled too easily, and this isn't really enough of a rush deck for it to not matter. The archangel seems a bit useless, too high cost for too little damage. A pegasus or morning glory may be better. Also, I think bumping it up to 5 quantum towers would be ideal.

Elite Worm: Damage. Don't bother diving it, just have it out there.
Since the wyrm is the only creature that uses air quanta, there's no reason not to dive it. Also, a diving wyrm will add 10 attack to a chimera, instead of 5. So save two quanta for the turn you cast chimera.

Quintessence is basically useless unless your opponent has Rewind. Fire Bolt does 3, Ice Bolt 2, Rain of Fire 3, Owl's Eye 3, etc.  Quint cures Freeze. It really doesn't matter all that much if you take some damage, since you'll be killing your opponent in a couple turns.

Rewind, freeze, and lobotomize will all hurt. Yes, quint cures freeze, but it also prevents it. It's just generally safer to have quint.

I don't think 2 quint is necessary, because the AI will probably waste those cards on your other creatures. So I would switch one out for a Phase Recluse for some extra damage.

I would run a FFQ instead of Wyrm, and swap in a Gargoyle for one Liquid Shadow. That way you could have some extra beef for your Chimera when you bomb your opponent.

quint the Chimera.
i did.. that doesnt stop freezing from shields..
The chimera has momentum, so it wont freeze from shields. However this deck does require quite a few specific cards so I could defniitely understand getting bad draws with it sometimes.
wow.. duh.. yea..  momentum. forgot for w/e reason.. the main problem i had testing this in trainer is bad draws over and over.. and not getting enough to play chimera when i had creatures out.. if i got them out they were killed or returned to deck. when i did get what i needed it did win.. but like i said that was 1 in 5..
If you want to freeze a Chimera with a shield, Lobo is your friend  ;)
