Looking for some help with this!

This is a home brew Grixis control deck that focuses on bouncing, destroying, and countering spells to gain tempo and prolong the game long enough to (ideally) get out The Scarab God (which I only have one of because I'm cheap). It has a couple other tricks built in that could win the game (ie Enigma Drake and Cut / Ribbons) even if Scarab God gets buried (I like options and having more than one win condition).

This is my first control deck. It is mostly untested and any feedback on it would be appreciated.

Thanks
