Well, it's what it says on the tin really.

Actually I'm surprised I haven't seen this done before. I could easily be wrong (please show me where, if I am!) but it seems a pretty obvious combo which is pretty decent, too. It isn't simple to balance. I played with the quanta quite a bit before I got to this (mostly) happy stage.

Here's win-stats so far:
It can beat AI3
It does NaN !?!? 8##5kbbN in PvP, because it's f****d at the moment : )

The idea came coz I didnt want to waste breath on Deja Vus like the AI3 Dune Scorp deck does. This deck is a lot different though, as it doesn't do as much poison damage most games. What I like is the CC the scarabs offer. For better or worse, it's different to the AI.

Having momentum around is definitely a perk on the Duo, though blessings are the main player what with the Scarabs.

Kindly let me know thoughts and stuff I'd love to hear how it could be improved :)

I question how quickly you can pull a Blessing, but trio balance aside, it looks good.

Trio--->Already unstable deck. Not necessarily.
Unnecessary trio-->Why? To be creative. No reason not to be.
Two strategies-->Focus on one strategy. Making them both work

Good job making this deck! I like it a lot :)

Yay what a kind guy :3 Thanks.

Furball is just being constructive, I appreciate the input.

Actually the initial reason gravity was put in was to allow the scarabs abilities. Momentum was just a coincidental psynergy.

As for when you can get the blessing out, you can usually play it on the third turn as long as you got a gravity pendulum on the first. You can't get it out 2nd turn, which is a downer for Scorps, but not so much for devouring. There is however a chance of getting momentum out early on.

If you want to keep the light portion, I'd swap change the mark to gravity, swap one or two blessings for more momentums, (lower cost and more important), and change the pends to light.

Alternatively you could add in some sundials, for when you have poison set up.

The trouble would be that blessings are most useful for scarabs. Thanks for the input brudda :D
