Accelerated Scarabs

[blahhunter]

So I've been playing around with the idea of accelerated creatures, and I came up with a deck that operates somewhat like a perpetual-motion machine. Essentially, this deck allows for a scarab(s) to be constantly accelerated while staying alive due to the generation of newer scarabs. The elite otyugh is there for CC, and the eternities can prevent deck out and stall . This was originally conceived so that I could gain score while keeping up a biting farm on Sundays when I'm in the top50.

Add 4 more eternities if using this to set up a biting farm: otherwise remove.


Strategy: play the acceleration on the scarab after a pharaoh is already up, and watch it slay the opponent with power.

Cards: 6 acceleration, 3 elite otyugh, 7 time tower, 7 time pendulum, 6 pharaoh, 2 eternity, 2 turtle shield, mark of gravity

can you try to use the deck code? what are the cards before pharaoh and after turtle shield

[Sevs]

I used a deck based around accelerating scarabs for the "new generation" tournament. It is a very effective deck and definitely helps fix the problem with speed of pharaoh decks. Good deck. As Seraph said for the deck code, there is a button that looks like the back of three cards. Click it and paste the deck code inside. the deck should show up.

post this deck in the deck help section.
this can be tweaked.

Pharohs are really really expensive, so personally Id  take one out for another hourglass. Although, perhaps taking out like two time towers and the momentum and switching them out for rewinds wouldnt be such a bad idea.  bUt thats just me.

[blahhunter]

I think that with the two eternities, rewind is not really necessary. The momentum allows for a scarab to go through the shield, and also allows for it to be accelerated a turn earlier. Pharaohs are not especially expensive imo in a time deck. I have considered adding a elite oty to this deck though since there does seem to be an excess of gravity quanta. That or black hole.
