Given that we like EA for our shields, let's keep EQ as well (if we can).  EQ and deflag are the only PC cards we can use with an aether heavy deck (steal is too slow.)

Also, do you want 3 dune scorpions + 3 time pendula---or 2 scorpions and 4 pendula?   It depends on whether you use the pendula upped or not, but I favor the latter since a single pendula takes 5 turns to get the quanta for the first scorpion to  play which is what you really want to get the poison started--each additional poison is nice but not as crucial.  So with more time pendula in the deck, you are more likely to get 1 in the opening hand and be ready to play a scorpion in the first 4 turns.  It's still a gamble, but having a scorpion in the opening hand is something you actually don't want since it's a dead card for at least 3-5 turns, so only taking 2 of them is OK.  Also, more pendula = more quanta generation (probably :light ) which will speed the time to getting miracle ready.
edited.  we are now salvaging 4 x time pends and 2 x dune scorp.

We have over 2 days left for this, but deck building would be easier if we lock this in early.  But then again, we need to lock in deck building before this to make sure we have all the cards we need...
