Your Pharaoh is Ready

[FuryGhost]

Before we go any further, the original deck idea is by "Elite Arbiter" and was posted on my arena thread (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,33655.0.html) . The deck name is in the works - suggestions appreciated.

The deck revolves around playing upgrade Pharaohs and SoR'ing them to spam Scarabs. The deck contains an Eternity that can be flown and readied as well, on top of a Chimera to add variety and strength to the deck.

The deck is currently unbalanced in terms of quanta and seems to be able to include an another slew of additions. All comments and concerns are appreciated!

Why is thar flying weapon there? Also, you can take out 2 pilars or the FW and a pilar to make it 30 cards.

Why is thar flying weapon there?

I would guess because of the power of SoR on Animated Eternities as it has the potential to remove well over half of the opponent's field depending on the number of SoR.

Thank you, at least somebody sees it. I am also working on balancing the quanta with QI right now.

QI?
Quanta index?
With pendas?

***TRIALS RESPONSE***
You have one of my favorites combos along the game, Pharaoh + Shard of Readiness, in this way, you can swarm your opponent with Elite Scarabs by turn 3.
First of all: Why that Random Animate Weapon (It made me laugh out loud first time I seen it, but then I understood the combo, with the Scarabs power to eat, it's not needed at all, with Chimera, that will be a bad combo)?
I suggest to remove it, and 1 Time Tower, to shrink your deck down to 30 cards.
From there I will try to include the 2nd Chimera, swapping 1 Tower for it.
With that 2nd Chimera I wont fear deck-out so I switched the Eternity for another Pendulum.
Now the deck isn't quanta starved and can sustain facing a shield.
If you don't fear shields, you can change those 2 Chimera's into your Eternity+ Animate Weapon+ Shard of Readiness combo(Quite nice) or 2 towers, to make your swarm faster and faster.
Will your deck can sustain facing a creature rush(As well as Fractal), it will have a lot of problems against immortal creatures, Turtle Shield can be a solution, but will slow the deck a lot.


With all those changes, the deck will look like:
