Strategy:  Stall using Sundials until you can boost a Vampire Stiletto and/or a Crusader to as high an attack as possible using Shard of Patience.  Then, when the Sundial Chain runs out, sacrifice Shard of Patience  to gain health from massive vampire attacks.  Repeat Sundial/Shard of Patience combination again if necessary.

This deck is still a work in progress.

I am currently 11-23 in Platinum.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Weaknesses: Reverse Time, Phase Shield, Early Creature Control, Early Shard of Focus

After testing, I would NOT suggest using this deck against the Platinum arena.  I have not been having much success with it recently.  If anyone has found a version of this that is having more success, please feel free to post it here and/or create a new thread.

You only need 2 animate weapons for 3 stilettos. A weapon in the weapon slot also isn't affected by sundials too.

I considered only running 2 animate weapons.  However, the success of this deck greatly depends on how quickly you can get the stiletto out on the battlefield where Shard of Patience will boost it to a high attack.  Then, any crusaders can copy the buffed stiletto, getting both the vampire ability and copying all the attack buffs that the dagger received as well.

I am actually considering adding one more dagger and animate weapon to ensure that the combo is out within the first two or three turns.  In many ways, getting the dagger out earlier is more important than the number of Crusaders in the deck.

This is a sextet, therefore is a rainbow

Why upped AW?

I'm assuming this is the answer.

Every time you get 1 you get 1 too, so you can always play Flying Weapon in a situation where you would need to (except under denial while you already had the dagger out, but you shouldn't have the dagger out).

The Animate Weapon does not have to be upped.  99.99% of the time, it will not make a difference whether it is upped or unupped.  The only time an Animate weapon would be better is if a Pest and/or Discord would remove your Air Quantum.

Do Animate Weapon, Nova and upped Sundial count as colorless?

If not, my bad.

The element of the card is counted as the color of the card's background (aka where it's bought in the bazaar, with obvious exceptions in the rares, Malignant Cell and Shard Golem). There's no problem with this, a deck helper will move it to the Rainbow Decks section soon

Ok, thank you.  I did not know that.  Is there some way I can move it to the rainbow section?

A deck helper will move it there when they get the chance, leave it for a while and it will get moved.
