Just out of curiosity, why do you need the poison? Your running a bit low on time quanta, with only a few players and need to make scarabs every turn with pharoahs. I'd increase your deck size and throw in a few hourglasses.

Seems like you need more :time because the Pharaoh's ability is quite costly.

In this situation, you may have to sacrifice some things to give yourself more :time. You can take out the Procrastination, which is quite costly, for another Time Factory. You may have to take out 1-3 Poisons, too, and replace them with Time Factories. Play around with the amount of Poisons you need to remove; at first glance, I would say that 2 is a balanced number, but you should try it for yourself. The Procrastination really drags you down in terms of :time quanta, though.

Hope this helps.

poison helps abit tho since it may take a while until u get settled if unlucky with the pillars.

The time quanta is rather fine for me its the death quanta thats the tricky one. until u have gotten the quantas for mummys/rewind u got pretty much time quanta to use. so scarab generation aint that shabby.

and procasination helps alot so its worth wasteing the  :time on it will save you and be ready for dinner :) but the hourglass idea was not to bad tho

Yes they need to be removed

Yes you definitely need more time to survive (stalling) as well as time quanta

Firstly, I liked the wordplay of the title of your deck  ;) Basically, I feel that unless you are an FG with double draw, it is unwise to attempt to accomplish two strategic thrusts simultaneously. If you want poison, a pure poison rush with flying arsenics and poisons themselves would be much more efficient. However if you wish to stick to a mummy-Pharaoh deck, I would suggest the following modifications:

-6 poison, -1 reverse time, +2 bone pillar, +2 bone wall, +1 time pillar, +2 plague
