QI: 4.3 (you can probably make it like 4.9/5 with a bit of work)
Wins:15/20
Number of turns (wins only):9x2,10x5,11,12x4,13,15,n/a.
Losses:5/20
Reason of loss:steal,lack of light quanta x2,no shield.

[Essence]

Not a bad start, but a few things offhand:

*short swords?  You're better off without 'em.

*6x Scorpions is actually a bit of overkill as well.  After you've gotten your opponent Neurotoxined, you're better off going for a real attacker anyhow.   Drop 1 Scorpion.

*4 Shields is also overkill.  If you kill them faster, you won't need the big bad shields.  Drop both Procrastination.

* Splitting between 2 types of pillar is just begging for the scenario where you draw all one kind of pillar and can't put your combo down until turn 6 or 7.  I'd switch to Mark of Light and play 8x Time Pendulums and 4x Time Towers.   No science behind that, just an intuitive number I pulled out of my butt.

* You've got 5 cards dropped, and you need attacking power.  Take a page from Paradox's playbook and add some Deja Vus.  Maybe 3; you don't need a lot, just something more effective than another Scorpion to drop your last 5 Blessings on.

* Then, speed up the whole process with a pair of Golden Hourglasses.

Sum total:

Tinker with that and see if it doesn't work a little better.

I was going to said something like this^^
I tried essence version and I got a nice 8 turn lvl3 win

5ld 5ld 5lf 5lf 5lf 5lf 5lf 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rh 5rh 5rh 5rh 5rl 5rl 5rt 5rt 5rt 5rt 5rt 5t2 5t2 5t2 5t2 5t2 5t2 5t2 5t2 5t2This deck is well balanced in quanta(4.8 turn to play all light cards and 4.57 turns to play all time cards), so you should be able to play both light and time in 5 turns without any problem.
However I find out that deja'vus are more effective than scorpions so I made the player have a deja'vu in hand (28/30simplified probability).

This deck outdamage his lvl3 counterpart but it is not a complete rush so expect better win against healing decks around turn 9 or 10.Keep going!

u could try momentum instead of blees but when u get a pharaoh, u ca make a duo time gravity (same as osiris)
