"Kull wahad is an exclamation that means 'I am profoundly stirred!' It was said that Paul Atreides as Muad'Dib, upon witnessing the emergence of a young desert hawk from its shell, muttered these words." - Dune

This attempt to salvage a splat-like deck after 1.32 turned out remarkably similar to Xenocidius' suggestion here with a few significant differences. Most obvious is inclusion of sundials for added stall. The use of solar shields primarily helps fuel the miracles while also keeping swarm tactics at bay. The unupped luciferin isn't necessary, but it provides a lot of EMs; upped would screw with the mulligan on top of the dials. I found  having only four of each card in the blessed scorpion combo is generally sufficient to get the neurotoxin in early enough, but doubtlessly some would opt for the security of six each.
This deck's weak against anything with purify (though not as much as a classic poisondial) and needs a pretty nice draw to hold off a good rush deck. That said, it's surprisingly tolerant of poor draws in most arena matches.

Fun fact: I originally wanted to name this "Gom Jabbar" but decided a deck by that name absolutely must have precognition.

just leaving this here :P

I like the idea of miracle, although if the opponent has pc, you'll have a hard time getting it out in time.
You mentioned that you'd get neurotoxin in early enough with only 4 dunes and 4 blessings,
but if you can get it in sooner, you need less stall...

eternity seems to work great with neurotoxin, but with the high cost you can't use it as stall before you get your scorp.

I see how all of these cards work awesome, but besides sundial, they all cost too much- meaning you'll have problems getting your stall out before you're dead.
be quick- time is quanta.

Yeah, saw that deck and facepalmed at their choice of weapon & shield (also size o.O). To nobody's surprise, Xenocidius' is much better than that one and very likely this as well.

It's true that early game is pretty slow and can get nerve wracking as you wait for quanta to accumulate, but the one saving grace is being able to pop SoD's like cheap candy. It gets really tense when the RNG refuses to grant me any of those early on. The Solar shields make up for the light deficit as the game goes on from there.

Just beat a standard poisondial in plat arena, though mostly because AI is terrible at using SoSac. Still, feels good to know this deck's in the same league as the tried and true.
