Preeeetttty sure it's copyright, so don't put this in the crucible or whatnot.
I don't really like this card, to be honest, it's more of a proof-of-concept thing.  I'm thinking certain synergies should exist in things other than elements.  E.G, all the elements have a scorpion, and the scorpion king brings them together.  You can build a scorpion deck if you wish.  (Scorpions = Scorpion, Death Stalker, Dune Scorpion, Chrysorra??, Blood Sucker??)
The card next should say that X = Scorpions you control
The whole thing needs balanced.
But oh well, you get the point.
SERIES:
Pffftch.  Series.  Good one!

This card needs my picture on it.  8)

10 random  for upgraded? Ehhh... I don't like it. Maybe lower cost to 8 :death instead?

Ah, random quanta always seems more expensive than it is.  Imagine a rainbow deck with only scorpions, quantum pillars, and this card.  (Oh, and buff spells for deathstalker and dune and stuffs, or maybe them excluded).  Ten random quanta only takes 3 turns to get, with one pillar.

Is your picture copywritten?

Not the expense, but I mean the randomness of the card. I would think either make the card :death for unupped and upper or make it random for both. But seems balanced enough.

Probably it would be too situational as a single card due in part to a corresponding high cost.

Split it into 2 smaller Scorpions?
The X attack combined with Venomous. (perhaps doesn't count itself to get a low cost like 3-6 :death?)
The 1|Y/2? HP combined with Venom. (Nice 2nd Life scorpion? 3-6 :life?)

I don't like the concept that a "king" would need a commensalist bond with its subjects in order to survive. I would've thought it would buff the scorpions, not the other way around.
Perception is the source of misunderstanding.

Why, yes. I do have a Mindgate necklace. It's how I ninja everyone.

That was the other idea I had.   Imagine if all scorpions come into play with 0 attack, (the life scorpion would have 0 attack but be cheaper), and the scorpion king gave all scorpions +1|+1.
