TTW around 9.
Start is relatively fast, in the few testcases I had both creatures around turn 3, Pharaoh in turn 2 isn't uncommon.
But to me it lacks either speed (maybe I'm unlucky with the mutations?) or survivability, since scarabs are mutated and not really accumulated for devouring. Otherwise I'd focus on that and build another deck.

Another idea would be to start mutating when enough scarabs are on the field but if the field can be cleared like that you have won the game anyways and the mutations become useless.
EDIT: the strategy above seems to work fine against AI4.

Making it rainbow is not really my intention and a trio with e.g. with its feral bond would make it very unstable, imo.

So yeah... suggestions?

I'd use supernova vs. quantum towers so that you can drop the number of rainbow quanta producers and/or add more time producers.

In addition, I'd add 2-3 cards of stalling, namely Antimatters or Reverse Time.

Why scarabs and random mutations?  It would probably be faster to mutate something cheaper that doesn't require pharoah.  If you're winning by turn 9, and already have the druids for creature control, it's not  like you need six scarab producers.  I also don't find hourglasses that useful in a 30 card deck.  If you' re stuck in a long game where you actually need the reliability of scarab producers, decking out may be an issue.  No eternity?

what about something like this?

it does limit the use of the abilities, though.
