Viability of rainbow spam deck https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=27577.msg350977#msg350977

I was thinking of a deck with something like this:

Mark of Air
-4x Emphatic Bond
-6x Scarab/Firefly/Pharaoh/Firefly Queen (Pharaoh is time, right?)
-4x Quantum Pillar
-3x Life Pendulum
-3x Time Pendulum
-3x Nova
-3x Poison
-4x Photon
---------------
-30 cards

Could it work?

Edit: This is just an outline. Numbers can be changed and even whole cards can be taken out or put in. I thought of adding:

-4x Forest Scorpion
-3x Thorn Carapace

Some critical thinking here: Plague and Rain of Fire are the obvious weaknesses.  Boneyard is the best solution to that in my opinion. In that case, adding Death Pendulums might be a good idea. Also, Voodoo Dolls could scare the opponent from using Rain of Fire/Plague

If that adds up to 30 cards then you are choosing one of scarab firefly pharaoh or firefly queen or is that six total but spread out among the four cards?

Why do you use novas?  Just to fuel the 3 poison cards?

I don't really understand the concept

This goes in the Deck Ideas section, naturally. Also, without :gravity, your Scarabs are nothing but attackers. No CC at all.
Perception is the source of misunderstanding.

Why, yes. I do have a Mindgate necklace. It's how I ninja everyone.

There are Quantum Pillars
But I really don't see the point of nova, poison and photon. I mean seriously, photons??

I meant six of each. I could have been more clear.

I don't have this deck and I thought that I would have to put a picture there. Also, there are Novas and Quantum Pillars.

I didn't include everything, but the concept is to include everything that could be spammed. The pendulums are used because they fuel the cards that are the center of the deck. The Quantum Pillars/Novas are for everything else.

I'd encourage you to make your deck concept a bit more precise before you try to build a specific deck.

In theory any card can be spammed with the exception of most shields and nightfall (i might be forgetting some)
