The problem with it is that it can't stand up against  Shields but that's all I found for it

I did try it out a couple of  s

I would love suggestions and it only has one pharaoh because I only have one so please don't say "it could use some pharaohs"
Thanks alot! 

Strategy: play the mummies, reverse    swarm with the scarabs.......pretty sure that's it...

Try to reduce its size a lot.
The less, the best.

But it's like a huge tower of Jenga pieces it's kinda hard to see which to remove I know that the less the better but which to remove?

A 54 card trio deck with only 2 hourglasses? That doesn't work out quite well.Take out the chimeras and those gravity pendulums. GoTP and that single scarab and pharaoh don't fit in really well either. Aflatoxins and vultures can go as well. That should at least shrink your deck size down a bit.

Well then, let's take a look:

 - Remove Deja Vu
Why is it even in there? Does neither a lot of damage nor support your strategy.

 - Remove 2x Vulture
While I agree that they are pretty nice, I doubt you'll need them. The Scarabs grow enough by themselves, no need for additional growing creatures.

 - Remove Aflatoxin
Yeah, it is fun, but it isn't neccesairy either. As CC it is kind'a too weak and as Food producer unneccesairy. Just eat whatever your opponent throws at you, or produce new scarabs and eat them when your field is full.

 - Remove 1 Chimera
You hardly will ever need 2 of them and even when it is on dead bottom, you can just draw through your deck for a last turn kill when needed.

 - Remove GotPs
Even without those, you'll still have a surpluss of mummys and growing scarabs to deal enough damage. Also, you won't have to save any quanta to play them, but can waste anything you get to spawn Scarabs.

 - Add 1 Hourglass
There's nothing better than drawing through your deck even faster. Drawing them early is essential.

 - Change Mark to Time
Another option is to use Gravity Mark and replace those Gravity Pends with Pends from the other elements. But here, I'd go for a time mark to ensure enough quanta production to fuel your Hourglass and Pharaohs.

Fixing the QI and splitting the Pillars (EQ protection), I went down to this:

// I'd also try to add more Bonewalls, they are just too awesome to not be taken a few times. (Replacing 1 Mummy with a Wall helps already quite a bit)
