That rainbow scorp deck reminded of this which I had been trying to get to work for BL a while ago. It didn't so off it goes to Deck Help land where maybe something useful can be salvaged.

Stall with Blessed Stilletos and kill with poison. Dune Scorps can be exchanged with Deja Vus and you can slip and Adrenaline or Deflag in there if you feel like it.

I would replace the Novas for quantum pilars. I like it!

As Antagonbow shows, 4 Quantum Pillars + 6 Novas only really provides stable generation of 4 quanta for the non-Mark elements. This obviously means that you're basically not going to have enough :death :time :darkness quanta available when you actually need it.

The suanta seems a bit tricky but the concept is great.
But maybe add some cc?

Good criticism though I'd argue that I can be a little bit more demanding on the quanta as this deck plays a bit a slower. Also Stilleto only costs 1. Though you're right I find myself starved on Death and Time sometimes. I'm also a bit low on Light; I notice Antagon only takes 5 Graboids. So maybe something like -Stalker -Dune -Blessing + Adrenaline + Flayer (as per plini's suggestion) and +Deja Vu? Going off what Plini said maybe a Rage Pot or Lightning would be a good choice. ERspecially Rage Pot as it can double as a super buff for Stilleto.

@Chapuz Glad you like it. Also an interesting suggestion, why would you recommend QTs over Novas?

I just love the theme and title of this deck.

Here's where I'm at now. Now I'm thinking about adding Scarabs for repeatable control. Seems like a very stylish idea to me but Momentums are great and use gravity, and I'm already low on Time and damage dealing...

Also there's Lightning and SoD and Sundial and Graboid and so many nice things you can put in a deck.

Lol the problems you have when you use rainbows decks; too many good cards to use. It's like a first world problems things when you compare it to monos and duos.

I would still say that you're not using all of your elemental quanta to its fullest potential. For example, there's still zero :aether :earth :entropy :water usage; you have Novas for free quanta in all elements -- use them!

Also, flying Stilettos are meh, even with Blessings. Without Crusaders to take advantage of the buff + Endow combo, I don't think it's worth putting 7 card slots into this.

I don't think it's entirely accurate to say that adding cards just for the sake of using all of nova's generation necessarily improves a deck... Look at Scrambled Shriekers, aside from the optional Poseidon it only uses four elements and it works well.

I think they mess up your draws a bit but I think flying Stilletos are quite nice when they come out, especially since they can be played off of your first nova. They are pretty central to the deck, but if you were goingt to replace them what would you add?

I created the scorpionbow thing in the rainbow forums, and there's a few things I've noticed as I play it.  One, adding sundials was very useful since the deck is more of a poison stall.  And the poison really doesn't go very fast if you can't get an early dune scorpion, so I might add one more of those if I were you.  Also, I don't know how well you can play blessings and if you feel quanta-starved for light since I haven't played with your deck, but you might want to consider taking a couple out and replacing them with adrenaline and/or another momentum or two.
