Too be honest, I see some flaws. First thing, what's the point of Mystic Tomato? It can only search like 1 Sangan or 1 Reaper? Is there a point to this card? It's not even a beast/Beast-warrior/Winged so it won't be boosted by Enraged Battle Ox. (Even Giant Rat would be better then this) The only thing it CAN be used is graveyard food for Bazoo, but like I said, even Giant Rat is a better option. (Heck, even 3x Nimbles is a better option, although 1000ATK piercers are kinda weak.) So IMO, those Tomatos are out. And with that, we can add that 1x Reaper he took out to make it 2x Reaper. Yeah there's a thousand ways to get rid of reaper, but they all take resources, and making the foe waste resources is a good thing.
And Cyber Dragon. Now don't get me wrong. Cyber Dragon is awesome. But I honestly don't see too much of a purpose other then being "splashed" in this deck. There's no Freed or Chaos so no point of being a Light. It's also not a B/BW/W so it won't help with Enraged Battle Ox. If you need a beatstick, we got Bazoo. So yeah. I'm dumping those 2x Cyber Dragon. And now, we need replacement for those Cyber Dragons. Now what's a good Beast/Beast-Warrior/Winged Beast tribute monsters. How about Manticore. Yeah, it must have slipped off his mind. With this many B/BW/W monsters in his deck, he can easily discard 1 from either his hand or field to summon this from the graveyard when it's sent there. Heck, with Graceful Charity back, you can send Manticore to the graveyard from hand and activate this effect. (And thus unlike other tribute monsters you dump with Graceful, you don't waste Premature/CotH) And any monster you send to the grave to bring back Manticore is Bazoo food anyway. So people will use BTH on Manticore to stop the special summon. What else is good. How about Sacred Pheonix of Nephthys. This card literally screams BTH. I had so many cases where it either get BTH the turn it's summoned, or they destroy it by card effect on their turn and then they set BTH. Or heck, I've seen it destroyed by card effect then they use Kycoo to remove it from the graveyard. Anyway, SPoN is destined to be RFP unless they pulled off Book of Moon or Tsukuyomi and destroyed it as a result of battle. (Which is rare) And since I'm having SPoN and Manticore, both cards people activate BTH with, BTH being activated when I use RftDD won't be that much of a prob. (There's still Ceasefire, but that's a rare card and Pitch-Black Warwolf can fix that prob) I mean, I like to see the face my foe when SPoN comes back after they removed it from play.
And the actual Sacred Crane. Without having Marauding Captain, I'll say it's not too effective of having 3x in your deck. I mean, you'll only draw when you RftDD. But is the purpose of RftDD drawing or OTKing? Definately RftDD is OTK strat. So I'll take down 1 Crane and add 1 more Pitch-Black Warwolf to further protect myself from traps.
My fix of this dude's fix.
