If a conscious deity exists, then either its nature conforms to the laws of
physics or it doesn't.
If a conscious deity's nature conforms to the laws of physics, by your
premises it must have a brain; hence your premises cannot prove the
non-existence of such a deity.
If a conscious deity's nature does not conform to the laws of physics, it
doesn't need a brain to be conscious, since such a deity could have any
properties whatsoever. In this case, your premises are irrelevant, since they
refer only to entities that obey the laws of physics.
You lose the game.
