Fractal Scarab deck [unupgraded]

[Bloodshadow]

As soon as the card Scarab came out, I've thought of using it alongside with Parallel Universe. With that, I was able to get them to monstrous sizes due to a Scarab/PU glitch. However, with Fractal, you can have more copies of Scarab than you can ever have with PU; Scarab only costs 2 , making it an ideal target for Fractal.

Anyways, Flooding kills this deck hard...

Suggestions? I do believe that this deck could be improved. Maybe add some weapons and shields? Add some Gravity Pillars?

[TheDarkAzura]

I guess you could add a weapon, I don't see what shield...

Flood sucks anyway, kills the fun BIG TIME

[Wisemage]

take out some aether pillars and add 3 or so gravity pillars, you dont need so many to run fractal.

[BluePriest]

i would say remove a few few aether pillars, and then put in a dim shield or 2, or get a procrastination shield in there. small additions that will make a big difference. especially the procrastination shield

I could beat tier 5s with it, but the biggest problem was getting a good draw at the start. I tried dropping the quints and anubis, and it worked a lot better. I'm sure there's a happy medium between mine and Bloodshadow's deck.

this looks pretty epic! simple is always better eh?

[SirElven]

Jub's deck looks much more effective then the original, so i would go with that one.

[Hobnob5000]

I tried one out on the trainer, and got seriously owned by the flooding. If you can keep flooding at bay, it can work great. I would put in a procrastination or two, half opponents speed means double time to eat opposing creatures

For a deck like this, I'd rather go with a small deck than with a huge one with Hourglasses. The reason is that I want to draw Scarabs and Fractals FAST; it is less likely in a huge deck.

Right now, with 9 pillars of Time and Aether, I usually get very good pillar draws. So I guess I could swap two Aether Pillars for Gravity Pillars, and one Time Factory for Procrastination?

I don't really want to add Dimensional Shields in this, because Fractal is already very expensive to cast.

It's a fun deck, thanks for the idea!   
Now i'm playing with a mostly upped 34 card variation (Eternity
+3 SoG) The inclusion of eternity means flooding and plague are less of a problem... 
I feel the potential, but I want to know if someone has an upped variation.
Possibly that gets around the lack of permanent control issue.

Anyone???

You may consider swapping a Lobotomizer for a Fractal.  Then again, devour is pretty good creature control...
