The entomologist decides to let his little pets out and raze everything. And, as a biologist himself, how would he forget to add stimulants to their diet?
This thing razes silver like crazy. Although it loses occasionally, it is consistent enough to get frequent spins, and sometimes EM to weaker decks. The games are very fast, even drawn out games are at most 2min.
Dunno if this is unique enough though. If queens for further epi + utilisation of extra :life, as well as heals for EM are not unique enough, mods, take this thing down.
PVE shouldn't be all about copying a deck code and converting time into electrum, score, and potentially rares.
If the only way to derive fun from a game is its PVP content, then non-hardcore players a.k.a. the mass are alienated from the hardcore community.

I think it's unique enough as I've never seen it with heals. However, other variations are well known. What do you consider its TTW?

Feral Bond only costs 2 more quanta than Improved Heal. Why not -4 heals, +3 Bonds, +1 :life Pillar?

Because I doubt that you'd be able to match the healing of Heal with Bond in the time you should take to win.

After some playtesting, I've found the deck to be highly dependent on getting a Damselfly in its opening draw. If it doesn't, then everything just goes flat because there's no other source of :air quanta generation in the deck.

Changing up the quanta balance is an option to prevent failure if Damselfly doesn't appear in the opening draw, but it does remove the "ideal" start of Life Tower/Pend + Damselfly + Epi for a turn 2 Adrenalined Damselfly (turn 1 with 3+ Towers/Pends drawn).
I'm doing science, and I'm still alive.

Would nova powered SoBs improve the situation?

TTW -should- be fast with a good hand, but without damsels just quit to save time...
