Trying to build a deck around The Scarab God for post rotation FNM play, I have tried a few variants but this is my latest build.

Idea of the deck is to stall with counters and removal while digging for Scarab God or Demon of Dark Schemes to turn from defence into offence. Counters and removal will hopefully fill their graveyard with creature targets for Scarab God to bring back with activated ability and with energy created from Glimmer of Genius/Aether Hub and with Demons enter the battlefield ability I might be able to use Demon of Dark Schemes activated ability to steal a few creatures from their graveyard awsell. Not sure if they are powerful enough to win consistently but we will see. Torment of Scarabs thrown in to force discard or creature sacrifice again filling their graveyard or life total pressure should they choose to take the damage.

LGS meta is varied but lots of control, aggro, heaps of plainswalkers, god-pharaohs gift and approach of the second sun type decks so sideboard is made up of cards I would like in these match ups.

I am relatively new to mtg and this is my first attempt a building a deck from scratch so any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Thanks
