There actually IS a use for this. It's a perfect aflatoxin on your own side fodder, and you can put it in a time/death deck and abuse the reverse time ability.

Why not just use sparks/photons? Why not just use fate egg?

Well, over sparks and photons because they screw the mulligan and over fate egg because they cost less to mutate if using the card, and use both types of quanta (thus preventing strain on time) if using eternity.
Also, ifusing mummies you might as well use skellys too

i somewhat agree with this, i think the current theme is: if a card can be produced by another card then it is not standalone.
examples: phoenix/ash, aflatoxin/malignant cell, mutants/mutation or fallen druid. (did i miss any? purposefully excluding fractal)
2 exceptions: boneyard/this and mummy/pharoh.

Firefly and Scarab is available standalone and is fractallable. (Firefly for Hope fodder and Scarab as general strategy)
Fractalling this is not a viable strategy.

It may be underpowered but it certainly needs no buff. Skeleton's purpose is to be a worthless creature. The rewindability is just a plus.

Also, you can't quite compare it to Firefly and Scarab, since those cost more quanta than skeletons. Dragonfly and Déja Vu would be better comparisons.
And well.. upped skeleton spam with eclipse can actually be viable, though far from competitive.

As UP as it is, it can't really be buffed because of Boneyard | Graveyard.  Can't have too many moderate creatures popping out.

This card isn't meant to be in a deck it's just a filler card that happens to be in the bazaar for lulz.
