Scarab Lance

[doomeister]

'Our enemies used to fear the horde, but they shall learn to fear the lance.'

Ive been using this in pvp with good results. You need a good starting hand if you want to beat a rush deck.

Edit- I added another chaos power to make sure you get a good scarab to duplicate.

This is a new version of the deck which might be slightly more effective.

This version was made by genraenera. He managed to get an 8 turn EM verses Hermes with it.

Edit2- I made another Scarab deck that works ok. You could swap some chaos powers for some feral bonds and another fractal, or add some unstoppables in there. Or you could swap the fractals for quintessence and save your best scarabs from control decks.

Any suggestions or comments are welcome.

can you fix the Mark (it should be aether anyway )
i've tried it against the t50 and it's fun and effective!
it's the typical deck that autoloses when the opponents drops an eternity, but it totally destroys mono life and many rush decks!
good job!

[Klaymore]

Wouldn't a Fractal replace nicely one of the TUs ?

[guy_fawkes]

you wouldn't have any time quanta to play scarabs

Yeah there are a few decks it auto losses to but every deck has counters.
Thanks for the comment

I was surprised at how effective it is, but would recommend maybe -1 Twin Universe and +1 Entropy Pendulum?

Increases the chance of getting a Pendulum in starting hand, and maybe even a first turn setup.

Thats a good idea and would be effective, but I dont like getting my first scarab out until I can use twin universe on it in case my opponent has a congeal/ reverse time/ antimatter etc, so I dont like waiting for a twin universe to show up.

Ive tried the changes a few times and it seems more efficient so ill change the first post.

Hate to be picky but this doesn't belong in rainbow, it only has 4 elements.

The deck is rather good though, it's nice to beat the shrieker/destroyer rushes for a change

Card color-wise, yeah, it's a quartet. But it plays like a Rainbow, it seems.

I though we were suppose to go card colour-wise when posting. I've seen many decks moved for this reason.

Sorry about that. If a mod could move it that would be cool, thanks.
Nevermind

Really nice deck - Thanks.
