Been using this deck to farm platinum and FG, surprisingly good winning rate against all FG except for Scorpio, Decay and Dark Matter . Strategy is simple.
1) Pharaoh + SoR + SoP. One fat Pharoah with limitless scarab generation with two 2/4 scarabs, backed by SoP every turn makes it an unstoppable force.
2)Use Antimatter on big monsters to stall time. Saved my ass a good number of times...
3)Use Sundials to stall time and obtain the pharaoh and SoR.
4)Use feral bond to survive late game and elemental master
5)Use bone wall to survive late game or hold out early rush. You can replace feral bond with another bond wall.
6)Steal for critical permanent control

Tips:
-Use SoR on one pharaoh only. The rest can be used on scarabs since you would run out of gravity quantum sooner or later.
-Bone wall are incredibly important against External Phoenix and Divine Glory
-The 31 card deck helps in getting those cards and makes farming a lot more efficient. Decking out wouldn't be a problem since by then, the results would have been crystal clear to you. (You either have an army of 2 Hit KO scarabs or you are royally screwed)

Lastly, I say its quake proof since Supernovas and the extra one quantum from Time Tower would help you hit the 11 quantums you need for the Pharoah + SoR, aka Pharaoh with limitless scarab generation.

It would be more cake-proof if you unupped 3 of your towers, this way you could have 2 stacks of 3 quantaperms.

He doesn't need that since the quantum he gets early is very important.

Don't you end up often with just Sundials and no towers in your hand?

I made some tests and it faildraws way too much for my taste. I feel a straight SoR Pharaohs with maybe PC or the SoPa splashed would work better.

On the other hand, if you use unupped dials you may actually not generate enough for pharaohs.

I also think you need more copies of some stuff, perhaps bone wall.
The chance that you get your combo out to survive is pretty low.

On the other hand I have no idea what you could take out.

I think I'd rather have the towers and pay for Sundials while building quanta with SN's and successive towers than building the quanta solely with SN's. Feral Bonds will have to provide enough healing. (this argumentation might have some mistake in its logic)

Even though Antimatter might have saved you a couple times, I'd replace it with another bonewall, for that might have saved you more often than AM.

Normally I would have at least one Time Tower on the first turn. Otherwise, using Sundial on the 2nd turn, then Supernova and 'Hasten' on the 3rd turn, would have make up for it

Yup, you would have to use upped dials.

There are only enough quantum for two bone walls, so thats it. The antimatter is there to make good use of the entropy quantums gathered on the seventh turn.

Regarding suvival rate, I would use pharaoh with at least a SoP or a SoR. SoP buffs it up enough to survive most CC and SoR direct the CC to the scarabs.
