i want to turn my successful ai3 killer deck into a fearsome pvp1 deck but it is too slow for pvp to keep up,
any suggestions?

(i know people are gonna say that pharaoh is too expensive for a rainbow deck but with some time pillers added i will have a pharaoh by turn 3, i always do)

Honestly it is pretty messy. Blessings are fine. Fire Shield - maybe 1 instead of 2, but also fine, it doesn't matter. Take out mindgates. If it is a pharaoh deck then focus on the pharaoh. Empathic Bonds are fine but maybe if there was just 1. Take out a pulverizer and put in a quintense or 2.  That is if you want to keep it as a rainbow.

For just a pharaoh deck I wuld out Mark as Gravity, put in 12 Time Factories, 6 Pharaohs, 3 blessings, 4 S'novas (minimum), A few Precognitions (minimum of 2 and 2 hourglasses and an Eternity and a few Quints.    And if you want 2 deja vu's

The Precognitions and Hourglasses - To draw cards fast.
Eternity - Use Reverse Time on the opponent to keep him/her from hitting you until your Scarabs are strong enough to own the field. Also to use so u dont deck out.
Mark of Gravity - So you can devour, since it only costs 1 gravity to devour.
Time Factories - To Draw the Pharaoh, Eternity, Precog's. and Hourglasses.
Blessings - So a few of the Scarabs can survive until you get a lot of Scarabs out till Defence Isn't really a problem. Or if u add in a few Deja vu's then you can use the blessings and use deja vu on the Deja vu's so that instead of 1 Deja vu of having 4 through 10 hp then 2 can...
Quints - To keep your Pharoahs alive, to keep your strong Scarabs alive and, if you decide to use them, for your Deja vu's so they don't die.
Pharaoh's - Self Explanatory.

Hey there,
don't let them tell you anything, Pharaoh isn't too expensive for PvP! ;)
What's too slow about your deck are the other cards. Pharaoh is a great creature for locking up the game because it simply provides you with everything - a sturdy butt, unlimited attack power and CC to clear the field of anything pesky the opponent might play afterwards. However your deck needs to survive long enough for the Pharaoh to arrive and take over the game. For example, Feral Bond is too slow because it only starts healing for a significant amount when you already have your Pharaoh going and produced lots of Scarabs.

However you should be more worried about getting to the point where you can make Scarabs instead of how you're going to win after that. Similarly, Fire Shield reduces the HP of opponent's creatures so that your scarabs can eat them more easily, but why bother? Wait one round and your Scarabs will have grown by one anyway. ;)
Here's how I could see myself playing this deck:

Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4sa 4vp 4vp 4vp 58v 58v 5lm 5lm 5lm 5og 5og 5rl 5rl 5rl 5ro 5rs 5rs 5rs 61t 61t 621 8ps

This deck has tons of stuff going on to stop any rush cold: Sanctuary for Healing, combined with Fog Shield so that the opponent has to play lots of creatures to even start reducing your HP. In that case, we just clear the field with Pandemonium. Dim Shield is a little more expensive but definitely worth the cost as it simply stops the opponent from damaging you entirely. Once you get to the late game your chances are great: Hourglass draws you lots of extra cards, Pulverizer destroys permanents and Pharaoh goes in the offense and kills the opponents creatures. I also added an Eternity to protect against deckout and for utility, as Reverse Time can be quite useful.

The deck 10 men made for you is very good - Pharaoh absoulutely works!
I'm going to go a bit different route - Pharaoh with novas, to make a different rainbow with the same concept!
In a 30 card deck with Pharaoh as the main card, I'd have 4/5 of it. In this deck I'll choose 4 Pharaohs. In a novabow, cheap, good cards works great, and with that knowledge we'll use only cheap cards which is not time.
Let's take a look at it (yes, it's a total revamp):
Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 52q 590 590 5f6 5lm 5lm 5og 5og 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rs 5rs 5rs 5rs 5t2 5t2 61q 61q 61q 61q 8pl

You'll probably see very fast that I've added 4 lightnings. Lightning is a great creature control card, and works great with Scarabs. And yes - you won't be able to play both of the sanctuarys, but having 1 makes a too small chance of drawing it. The deck also have some good attackers, Graboids and Arsenics (weapon).
So keep nomming PvP, own your opponent whether you use 10 men or mine deck. They both work.
