Use the miracle instead of the purify and either the eternity, the lobotomizer or the pulverizer instead of the owl's eye (try 'em all, see what works).
If you end up using the pulv or lobo, you'll probably want to upgrade them fairly early on (after glasses and otys, after or during pillars).

I'd recommend replacing his Owl's Eye with your Pulverizer.  You might be tight on Gravity quantum, but it's well worth it.

I finally saved up enough electrum to make the ScaredGirl unupgraded rainbow deck.  (Yay!)

In the course of grinding T50 to get that electrum, I got the following rares:

Miracle
a shard (unupgraded, for now)
Eternity
Lobotomizer
Druidic Staff
Pulverizer (plus I selected one for my quest reward, so I now have two)
Arsenic

My question is:  Should I include any of these in the rainbow deck?  If I do, should I take anything out of the deck to compensate?  Should I upgrade any of these ahead of the ones that ScaredGirl suggests to upgrade?

Thanks in advance for the help.

I suggest replacing Owl's Eye and something else with Eternity and Pulverizer, they REALLY help. Why lobo something, when you can just rewind it?

With rewind it will just be played again next turn and be just as annoying :P.

I would say go both pulvy and owl's eye, or just pulvy.

Making growth/ablaze creatures screwed and makes gods use quantum.

Gods usually aren't pressed for quantum, and for the two gods that use growth creatures you're usually screwed anyway. And when you're not, mutate plus eat is just as good.

As to ablaze with Graviton, firestorm + eat is a much better move simply because it is permanent.

Eternity's main use is to keep yourself from decking, and with a large deck, you don't need to worry about that.

Granted, eternity is sometimes useful  with rewinding your own creatures that are g-forced and such, but with large rainbows you usually don't have to worry about that. Also, pulverizer is useful against every god, and owl's eye is useful against most gods too.

I've found that perpetually rewinding a FG's creature is useful because it halves the cards they're able to effectively draw. That's quite a blow, and it helps if you're trying to stall out for that one card you need to regain board control.

Absolutely. Eternity is actually unbelievably useful against Hermes, much more so than Pulverizer is. Rewinding his creatures not only forces him to replay them, cutting into his Fire quanta count and decreasing the effectiveness of his Lances, it also resets his Lava Destroyers to 7/1 and limits his capacity to draw further into his deck in search of that one last Lance ftw.
