Is this deck idea good? Upped Shrieker rush https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=13862.msg175123#msg175123

Hi, i'm new at elements, and this is my first time at the forums. My current deck involving firefly queens and rustlers and such isn't fast at all, and I was thinking of eventually building toward a fast deck that would also be good in PvP. After messing around in the trainer a LOT, this is what I came up with.

Code: [Select]
778 778 778 778 778 778 778 778 778 778 778 778 77g 77g 77g 77g 77g 77g 77j 77j 77j 77j 77j 77j 7qb 7qb 7qb 7qb 7qb 7qb
Mark of time takes care of the graboids evolving, and when i'm not evolving, I can use precognition to not only draw more cards(fast deck :D) BUT ALSO to check if the opponent has any creature control cards I should watch out for like rain of fire, so I can burrow shriekers in time. I also use quicksands the instant I get them to destroy the opponents pillars so they can't play cards.

So, is this deck idea any good? It seems to not really work well even against ai3 unupped. Is this deck worth building toward? The upgrade cost for 30 cards is 45000(wow)  :(

I've tried Graboids + Precog, but it's an awful choice between evolving and drawing more cards, I suggest removing some (at least 3 I guess) precogs to prevent this dilemma.

Also if you're interested in rushing, Quicksands just don't fit in, Elite Shriekers and Elite Antlions are much better choices for dealing damage hard or fast.

6 Graboids isn't much damage, especially if you've got 2 or 3 buried deep in the deck. You should definitely add a weapon (probably Longsword), and maybe sub out a couple quicksands/precogs for Hematite Golems or Elite Antlions? You could keep it very fast if you just take out 1 precog and 2 quicksands. Rarely do you need more than 1 or 2 quicksands to devastate an opponents quanta growth.
