[help] Pharaoh Scarab Rush https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=35404.msg445722#msg445722

Pharaoh Scarab Rush (could use a better name)
Version 1.01 (Pendulum Version)
Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
6rq 6rq 6rq 6rq 6rq 6rq 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7q0 7qc 7qc 7qc 7qc 7qc 7qc 7ri 7ri 7ri 7ri 7ri 7ri 8pl

This version is more stable compared to 1.00, though with speed loss. It tend to generate excess quanta, though.

Version 1.00 (Skeleton Version)
Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]

Inspired from Astrum (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,35323.0.html) by Kefka.
When i tested this deck, i went in-depth with SoR chain combo. You know, that thing which makes Instosis go round too.
I looked back at Pharaoh. It can spam scarab, CC in a stick. In a large number, they have 3 advantages:
1. Hard to be removed.
2. Can on certain cases started eating more creatures than oty.
3. In larger number, the AI targeting prioritizes Scarabs, leaving Pharaoh pumping more.
Pharaoh itself is a sturdy creature and can take a beating, so even in PVP, it's hard to break this combo once it started rolling.

The reason i use pharaoh instead of fractal:
1. This is a mono deck with gravity splashed in. Therefore, this deck is more stable compared to fractal scarab.
2. This deck doesn't use as many quanta as fractal scarab. 9 :time + 3 :rainbow to start (2 scarabs), 3 :rainbow for every 2 more scarabs using the SoR chain, or one free scarab every turn.
Compare fractal scarab, which use 9 :aether to start the combo, and 2 :time per scarab produced.

How to use:
1. Put pillars.
2. Dig through the deck using Precog.
3. Save enough  :time to summon Pharaoh
4. Use SoR, spawn 2 Scarabs. Ideally, you want to use another SoR for 2 more Scarabs.
5. Start eating and pumping Scarabs.

Pros:
1. More CC than Oty. Even if one Scarab is dead, the other can take over.
2. No problem against poisonous creature. Use one to eat all poisonous creatures, and another to eat "safe" creatures.
3. Generally stand more chance against CC, due to the increasing HP of Scarabs thanks to Swarm and Devour.

Cons:
1. Early on, SoR will drain your  :gravity and you will have trouble eating at the start of the combo.
2. Currently it have poor quanta balance. Will be improved later.
3. Not for grinding. Although i say rush deck, its current ttw is around 9, which is too slow. It have high winrate to compensate this, though.

Any suggestion and feedback is appreciated. Don't be too hard on me, because this is my first posted deck and this is still in its early version.

EDIT: well i forgot that SoR can be used on the Scarab you use to devour opponent creatures. Use the extra SoR on it once the combo is rolling.

Eh, i want to build a mono deck. That one is duo.
Seems interesting, though. Will try later.

It has been made by one of the greates deckbuilders in the game, a forum admin. Remember that mono decks are never as effective as duos/trios/rainbows.

Yes. Yes, they are as effective in some cases. Or maybe even more. Rainbows are more versatile, that's all.

Since you have those time pendulums and gravity mark, it wouldn't hurt to add some momentum or Chimera to bypass those pesky shields like phase shield, emerald shield, permafrost and titanium shield.  Just my suggestion.
