You realize you can modify your other deck's post instead of making a new one, right?
Anyways...take our your momentum and change mark to death. You don't need it.

Your deck doesn't have any clear strategy. It's fine to have multiple strategies, but, for example, aflaotoxin and bonewalls don't get along very well (lots of malignant cells break your bonewall very quickly).

You can opt for a graveyard+pharaohs+malignant cells+skull shield combo, which would consist of eating malignant cells to buff up your scarabs' attack (without any gravity towers, this will only work for 2-3 turns while you ahve enough :gravity quanta.

Another option is to just go bonewall+graveyard. This way, when you run out of enemy creatures to eat (too big, such as armagios, or immortal, such as phase dragons), you can munch on the skeletons that your graveyard produced until your opponent feeds you some more.

Try slimming you deck down as much as possible and including only the bare essentials, and in good proportions. With the aflaotoxin route, you'd definitely want 2-3 skull shields, to make sure you draw one with your aflaotoxin, since otherwise you'd be helping your opponent.

My recommendation is:
Take out: short sword, poison, momentum, deja vu
Put in: either something like 3/4 bonewalls, 2/3 graveyards, 3/4 gravity pillars (pillars optional, but encouraged. It's annoying when your opponent plays more than 1 creature a turn and you're stuck eating one at a time and watching your bonewall decrease).
OR
Something like 3/4 aflaotoxins, 2/3 skull shields, 5/6 gravity pillars

Hope this helps, let me know how it goes! :D

You're going in various directions here.

Removals
1. Take out poison. It's useless. It doesn't help for scarabs or killing enemy creatures. You'll be wasting death quanta that you need to play a mummy.

2. Take out deja vu. If you need a cheap creature, use a Photon.

3. Take out dagger. Waste of space

4. Take out Skull shield. Don't alfa the enemy. Alfa yourself.

Total removal 5 cards

Additions

1. add 1 Boneyard, or it will never show up in play when you need it.

2. Add 1 Aflatoxin, use it on YOUR Photon (or even an extra mummy, or a skeleton created by your plague working on the enemy!)  Create your own army of Malignants for your scarabs to eat. Then you don't have to rely on drawing Bone Shield.

3. Get Bone wall. +2 to shield when you devour your own malignant. A much better extra card than Deja vu


Total addition 3 cards.
Add Bone Pillar or Time Pillar x 2 based on what you think you need to get good draws.

Results vs AI3
Game 1 vs Wind: Lost - 5 time pillars, 5 bone pillars, 2 boneyards drawn
Game 2 vs Entropy: Lost - 3 time pillars, 7 bone pillars drawn
Game 3 vs Fire: Won with 25hp - 3 time pillars, 5 bone pillars (boneyard stolen)
Game 4 vs Light: Lost - 2 time pillars, 5 bone pillars, 1 boneyard drawn
Game 5 vs Death: Lost - 3 time pillars, 5 bone pillars, 1 boneyard (forced to discard 1 mummy)


This is the deck
Code: [Select]
52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52n 52n 52p 52p 52s 52s 52t 52t 52t 52t 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rk 5rk 5rk 5rk

The in-game setup seems too long, the attackers do minor damage, and there no HP protection. I guess bone wall is needed.

This is the deck that has done the best so far vs AI3.

You have to give up some HP for a while before casting bone wall. Then you have 7 hits to set up your Pharaohs.
If you cast plague at the right time before bonewall, it helps. But like I said, you may have to wait 1 or 2 turns with plague before putting out bonewall. Very cool deck idea!

Other notes. Never put out a only 1 mummy before you can Pharoah him. With 3hp Mummy is super vulnerable to everything from Chaos seed to fire bolt, Owl's eye, etc. When you have bonewall, and boneyard out, create a scarab, eat the scarab and eat the skeleton that is made from it, so that 2 scarabs can level up , and you can continously have skeletons to devour. Bonewall will increase nicely.

I didn't record the winning, but I won two in a row, then lost, then won two more. 2 wins were easy. However, the total game takes a long time win or lose. Bonewall is your savior in this deck hands down.

52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52n 52n 52p 52p 52r 52r 52t 52t 52t 52t 52t 55k 55k 55k 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rk 5rk 5rk 5rk

I'll try making a variant of this deck for AI5 sometime. I posted a version I made with pharaohs, but this might be a viable alternative. photons+alfaotoxin for nommings, bonewall as shield...I like it :D
