Here is my submission for  :entropy Trials Phase 1 Task 1

Easy concept CP+Dunes :O
After playing with it for a bit I wish I had included another Antimatter and possibly BE (although I could never fuel it on Entropy Pendulums.)
Eternity proved a lock in a few games but often I wished for that other Antimatter instead or perhaps a Procrastination (since I had plenty of :time mostly.)
Turn 3 was the fastest dune possible with this deck but Rewind and Antimatter usually kept me going until the neurotoxin did its job. 
Arena is pretty PC heavy, but with few perms and keeping my quanta usage pretty low this wasn't a huge problem (another reason I would rather have another Antimatter than Eternity here.)  Also while I did meet a few decks with purify, they were not numerous :P
If you aren't moving too fast or don't have a Rewind available CP+Am on a decent creature will give you enough time to draw into some.  (this is wonderful if they are playing Vampires :O)

did you ever have to AM a scorp to bypass a shield?  I hear they still put poison on even when the damage is negative...

Eeew rules (trial rules that is), but as you stated, if you were to optimize this deck for actual play, time pends would probably be better.
That would consistently allow 2nd turn dunes and having more entropy quanta to add another antimatter or 2.

My own submission Sand Butterfly (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,29203.0.html) for the trials of Time is very similar.
It was a pure nightmare in platinum. I have to say I could only go through thanks to my BE and purple nymph. Do you think it worth it to sacrifice control for speed in that case?
