The Scarab God demands sacrifice!

I took some time off from magic and im planning to get back into it. I love mill and try to use it whenever I can. The last time i played was the Return to Ravnica block.

The goal of the deck is to win through mill mechanics, but it has a second win condition with The Scarab God.

Minister of Inquiries + Aether Hub and Glimmer of Genius gives the deck a lot of mill.

Ipnu Rivulet is for that little bit of extra mill to end the game, or if I have land to spare.

Scavenger Grounds is in the deck just in case i need some graveyard hate. Otherwise it feeds into Ipnu Rivulet if I need it.

Torrential Gearhulk does not get any Mill value in the deck but it is just too good to exclude IMO.

Disappearing Act is trying to target Aether Hub or Minister of Inquiries to refill energy counters.

Otherwise The Scarab God is my fallback wincon.

Moaning Wall for early defense and The Scarab God value.

Lastly I feel like my sideboard need some work, so any input is appreciated.

I built the deck so it would stay standerd after Ixalan rotation. Feel free to suggest Ixalan cards if you think they would fit.

I plan on bring this deck to my local FNM and was hoping for suggestions and/or comments. Ty +1

Record : 2-2

Round 1: 0-2

The deck was a R/G combo deck i think. The first match i lost on turn 4 or 5 to a 20 damage minion, it was Electrostatic Pummeler buffed with Larger Than Life then doubled twice with six energy counters. I was completely caught off guard by that combo, if I had know i probably could have done something about it lol. The second match was a bit longer but i ended up losing to a minion i could not remove because he keep using Blossoming Defense every time i tried to Fatal Push his minion, he ended up wining by buffing it up and Flinging it at me.

Round 2: Bye

Round 3: 2-0

My Opponent was using a slightly modified Liliana plainswalker deck. The first match i won when he got mana screwed and just conceded. the second match i won when i played Fraying Sanity and he forfeit the match. I am not sure why he did that.

Round 4: 1-2

This match was against a white Eldrazi deck. The first match was very long and i ended up wining using mill. The second match i lost fairly quickly due to him using Warping Wail on all my Minister of Inquiries and using Thought-Knot Seer to remove my The Scarab God and Torrential Gearhulk. The third game was very close losing to an Archangel Avacyn  Flip that i just could not get rid of, i got him down to about six cards left in his library.

Overall I think the only fair match I had was against the Eldrazi deck. I think the deck performed alright, but it still needs a few changes. Ipnu Rivulet and all my desert lands really under performed, but Fraying Sanity did way better then i thought it would. I ended up getting Moaning Wall in every game and it blocked a ton of damage.

I will make some changes to the deck and try it again at next weeks FNM.
