This deck wins about 90% of the time against Silver Arena, and 95%+ against Bronze Arena and Half-Bloods. It wins about 85% to False Gods. Against Gold Arena, it doesn't seem to be too reliable -- maybe around 70%...and not good for Platinum Arena. It's fun to play with though! I basically use it to farm Silver Arena and it's pretty fast at doing so, but you could use it for Half-Bloods or Bronze Arena too.

Ok, so anyway, this deck has 2 possible strategies: rush or stall.

When you rush, you basically send mummies out ASAP, and then scarabs out ASAP. Use SoR's to send additional scarabs out from the same pharoah, even if it's summoning cost is already 0 because you probably won't get around to using another one. Hopefully you draw titan early (I wish I had 2 of them) but if not, you'll live. Since you aren't using more than 1 pharoah and your bone wall isn't there to protect you, use RT's on the opponent's creatures for a little protection if needed.

If something stalls you from rushing...stall them back! Throw up a bone wall, and let your scarabs devour their creatures or even each other. Use only 1 SoR per pharoah, unless for some reason you need the extra 2 (like to nom nom something). You'll probably end up with 2 or 3 pharoahs. If you don't have enough gravity pendulums for the scarabs, you can save an SoR for a scarab. You'll normally win a stall battle because titan will slowly chip away at them, and chimera can go in for the kill (especially against dimensional shield).

I just took out a Bone Wall for a Gravity Pendulum because I seemed to be low on and throughout mid-game, while always having an extra Bone Wall (and too often I'd have to even discard it because I didn't have Pendulum-type cards to play!) If I start having lack-of-Bone-Wall problems though, I'll switch 'em back out. If I had a 2nd Titan, I'd probably throw it in here, although I don't know what card to replace for it. Maybe I'd just leave it at 31.

Any constructive criticism, thoughts, or ideas about my deck? What's everyone think of it? Looking forward to hearing your opinions!

85% against False Gods?
Are you sure of this, it sounds really high.

If yes, it's really good and I'm gonna try it!

*Gonna try this*

85% against FG lol.

1st game : seism lost in 5 turns.
2nd game neptune. lost in 7 turns.
3rd game: octane, awesome hand. lost in 6 turns.
4th game hermes. good hand. lost.

I stop here IMO that's enough and as I didn't want to open the trainer I don't want to loose to much score.

Thanks ralouf1.
So it's 15% wins instead, right?

[ralouf]

I lost every match I made actually

Swap the mark, add a rewind (or two) and more SoRs. Get rid of the useless gravity cards. Should be a lot better.

lol, 85% against FG's is like... impossible or close to it (it's pure maths). Also, the Mummy/Pharaoh/Scarab combo needs a lot more of stall, and as it's a trio, is also really unreliable.

If you guys lost that much to False Gods, you clearly don't know how to play the deck. lol

Don't bash my deck just because YOU don't know what you're doing.
