Time is all about deck control, so here's my variation on that theme using Precognitions and Eternities. It's a small deck, so you can rush through it pretty quickly and get all the scarabs out there and devouring your opponent's creatures. If your opponent stalls, though, you can use Eternity to put extra Scarabs back into your deck before you deck out. It's still vulnerable to permanent control, though not so much as if you were using Golden Hourglasses. Give it a try and tell me what you think.

I recorded an episode of Surviving the Elements with this deck. Here it is if you'd like to see it: http://youtu.be/P6ce8Sl9GQY

I have to say it's a nice idea although fact is that without (actually even with since they usually get destroyed or stolen) eternities you can die to aggro too fast and get rekt by control too easily. What I'd recommend is using even more card draw, maybe cutting some of those precognitions for hourglasses. I've tried it that way and it works a bit better. I've also dumped a scarab for another eternty, since it is crucial for board control.

That scream when you got Owl's Eye.

Precogs are usually used to slim down your deck. They are used only in 30-card-decks to ensure you get a certain combo as fast as possible. In this deck, the thing you are trying to do is to catch Scarabs, so you could simply exchange one Precog with a Scarab (if you get one more). At all, you are better off in using more Pharaoh's (if you have them) and tons of quanta to be able to play them as soon as possible. Procrastination is an overall underpowered shield in unupped meta due to it's high cost, that's not worth the card space and later Pharao's. (Once you have Scarabs out, it's totally out of use.)
