Of the three cards I've been commenting on that you've proposed, this is my favorite

Mine, too.  As much as I like my time/gravity deck and all the things you can do with those elements, this is probably the only card I've come up with that I'd actually use if it existed.

I went ahead and submitted this one to the crucible.  This card idea thing is almost as much fun as actually playing the game.

Looks like the card's up for voting!  There are some nice looking time cards in the crucible, but this one is definitely worth one of your four votes.

Not a bit OP in Dune scorp deck? This + precogs completely can make the combo in an absolute first turn.

That (and other nifty starting plays) are probably possible, but only if you draw everything just right.  Each precog costs you :time quanta, as do the scorpions and whatever card you're going to buff them with, and by the time you've done all that, you've sacrificed pillars, slowing down the rest of your game.  And all to start out with an annoying creature or two that can get killed or reversed.  On first blush, it doesn't seem any more powerful than nova/immolation starts or other ways to get things out the first turn.
