[luigiflash]

I like this deck a lot 'cause it's the first deck I posted in the deck help section so, in my opinion it's really good

Strategy is simple: Play your Mummies and reverse them to turn them into Pharaohs. Generate a lot of Scarabs to get CC. If they have a Permafrost shield or something, use the Chimera to get through

Why would you bother making mummies to RT into Pharaohs when the deck already has a Pharaoh in it?  If you were to bring in a new element at that point, I would say use fractal and quints from Aether.

I'm assuming this is because he only has a single Pharaoh to use, and thusly can't build a full Pharaoh deck.

i would suggest that until you have enough pharoahs to make the deck with just them, to drop the pharoah and spare scarab, and try to make it 30 cards, that way you are more likely to get your combo out. i suggest something like this:

The novas will help early set up and make quanta a bit more stable.
As you have a combo (mummy RT) it is best to keep deck as slim as possible (30 cards) to make sure you get the combo quickly.
Had to drop chimera for quanta stability, i know its nice but its just hard to fit into a mummy RT deck, and there was only 1 in your 40 card deck anyway.

It shows signs of very good deckbuilding ability though, so keep on building decks because you obviously have the right mind for it

That's exactly it.

***TRIALS RESPONSE***

I don't think enough people understand the power of reverse mummies.  Pharaohs in general are underrated, I am always glad to see them in use.  The added ability to pair bone walls with scarabs makes for some good late game strength.  The normal problem with decks involving a long set up time is just that, they need time.  This deck type is also has a lot of moving pieces.  Any break in the chain makes for some problems.

Let's set the deck up with a death mark.  I like to rest the heaviest piece of my trio decks upon my mark.  This way I can add pendulums of the remaining items.  Bone walls can be our best defense, so we should add a few more of them.  Reverse time is a one shot item, so adding an eternity or two will allow another point of defense through reversing.  Now we have the gravity items.  There are two options: Either add just pendulums to fuel the scarab's abilities, or add something from gravity that will be useful to us.  Even though most people wouldn't add a chimera, I think you have the right idea.  Most duels you will not have the need for such a card, but in a great deal of situations, if a hefty shield appears or that extra turn, allowing your creatures to soak up the damage that would kill you otherwise.

It's kinda risky to run a mummy RT deck like a rush unupped.
Maybe it works, but without SoRs I would suggest you to go more time and use death for mummies only. Procrastination can be as mean as bone wall for a pharaoh deck, giving you time to grow the scarabs by swarming.
