The blanks are deathstalkers

So I have figured this deck out and I know a lot of you have been trying to make the scorpions work, but within 30 cards I believe this is the best way to do this OUTSIDE the 30 card "limit"

To begin everything is necessary
3 nightfalls (needed for scorps)(quantity for good draw)
Parasite great bait/ok CC
3 Drain Life for CC or life gain
4 Devourers - to get everything out quicker and slow down opponent
Dragon- good source of damage
Bone Pilars good when encountering devourers
Steals *2nd most important card in deck* to disable the shields.

For beginners I did this (I sadly had to reset my account  due to some very poor choices) first chose element of darkness, second, sell all cards that aren't in this deck then buy those that are. it is that simple! so very cheap! next and most important is change mark to death

The strategy is simple gather quanta with devourers/ pillars till nightfall hide behind dusk when possible then kill with poison from scorps
*** the only weakness is the emerald shield***
to overcome said weakness I would like suggestions to the deck.

With just 2 death pillars, you may have difficulties drawing them.  You may do better to remove the 2 bone pillars and 2-3 obsidian pillars and replace them with black pendalums.  Also since devourers act as pillars once out, you prolly have too many obsidian pillars in the first place.  You may find you're a bit quanta heavy on the death side if you add the pendalums, so you could look at adding a mummy or plague if you see the need.
