I think I'm trying to make a tempo deck that controls and pulls creatures (and maybe a couple spells) out of the graveyard and then has a big win with Gray Merchant of Asmodel, Exsanguinate, scarab God's lose life ability (after dropping a bunch of tokens maybe).

I looked at this deck earlier and realized that I had no idea what it was doing, so I was hoping someone could take a look and offer advice on how to do graveyard shenanigans correctly

How to build scarab god (apparently):
Tribal
Graveyard shenanigans
mill
ETB shenanigans?
Steal?

Current Advice:
https://deckstats.net/decks/80384/f53284/
Drop:
Cemetery Reaper
Death Baron
Diregraf Captain
Diregraf Colossus
Ghoulcaller Gisa
Havengul Lich
Josu Vess
Lich Lord of Unx
Liliana
Curse of the Swine
Dark Salvation
From Under the Floorboards
Windfall
Imprisoned in the Moon
Damnable Pact
Greed

Add: Erebos
Army of the Damned
Jin-Gitaxias
Diluvian Primordial
Sidisi, Undead Vizier
Torrential Gearhulk
Decree of Pain
Rise of the Dark REalms
Spelltwine
Dimir Locket
Sol Ring
Necropotence
Propaganda
Forbid
Thrilling Encore
All is Dust
That's my immediate feedback. Uses mostly cards in your maybeboard. Swapping Greed for Erebos cause he's better in my opinion, bringing in All is Dust to have an answer to enchantments and things you normally wouldn't be able to answer. Also finding a spot for nevinyrral's disk would be cool.

I'd also find a spot for Solemn in that list.
I'd cut Mindcrank for Solemn.
I'd cut Countersquall for Disk.
