The Antimatter/Liquid Shadow Nymph deck doesn't really work un-upgraded, as the quanta and pillars are spread too thin for anything to be played quickly enough.
If you're still trying to make it work, then I would suggest -1 Amethyst Pillar, -1 Sapphire Pillar, -1 Obsidian Pillar, -1 Nymph's Tears, +2 Antimatter, +2 Liquid Shadow. That should allow for some slightly easier early-game survival.
That being said, Mono-Aether is probably a better un-upgraded option for newbies -- it grinds AI5 well and can beat some of the easier FGs (Miracle, Ferox, Paradox, Destiny, Fire Queen) without too many problems.
