(SCROLL FURTHER DOWN FOR THE UPDATED DECKLIST, SO PLEASE FOCUS ON THE THAT LIST, THNX :) )

Hiya everyone, it's been a while since I last posted something here on CoG but I'm back :)
Anyway, ever since the release of Ancient Prophecy, and having had a look at the spoiler of Stardust Overdrive (the next set to be released), I've been wondering if Fortune Ladies could be used on a competitive level. Now I know that the Fortune Lady-related cards that were released in Ancient Prophecy don't really present much of a threat on a competitive level, but the support they get from Stardust Overdrive does make it worth having a second look at them. Anyway, I've come up with a decklist for Fortune Ladies. It still needs work of course but I'm hoping you guys could help me out in that area :) . Any contemplations or other thoughts you might have about the deck, feel free to post them!
(Mind you, the deck's follows the new banlist)

Monsters: 18

3x Fortune Lady Light
2x Fortune Lady Fire
2x Fortune Lady Water
2x Fortune Lady Wind
3x Fortune Lady Dark
1x Fortune Lady Earth
1x Solitaire Magical
1x Breaker the Magical Warrior
2x Night's End Sorcerer
1x Sangan

Spells: 13

1x Heavy Storm
2x Terraforming
3x Future Visions
2x Dimensional Fissure
3x Fortune Future

Traps: 9

1x Call of the Haunted
3x Threatening Roar
2x Magician's Circle
3x Compulsory Evacuation Device

Extra Deck:

1x Armory Arm
2x Magicial Android
1x Goyo Guardian
2x Arcanite Magician
1x Black Rose Dragon
2x X-Saber Urbellum
2x Stardust Dragon
1x Thought Ruler Archfiend
2x Colossal Fighter

Now there are a number of things that I would like to see added to this line-up, but as always I haven't the foggiest of what I should drop for them :p .

1 Because of the imminent restriction of Solemn Judgment, negation cards are harder to find and implement, so I'd like to see this deck have more negation power. I've also thought of Hidden Village of Spellcasters but like I said, I'm having trouble figuring out what to drop for it.

2 This deck has, or at least I think so (do correct me if I'm wrong :) ), good synergy, but it still needs a solid win condition. Right now, the deck's pretty balanced in the sense that it will be able to get the Fortune Ladies out on the field and benefit from their effects. Also, the usage of Future Visions will make it harder on my opponent to synchro summon (buying me extra time, for instance for getting Fortune Lady Fire out to blow it up), etc.
But other than that it may still need something extra. To that end I included Night's End Sorcerer in the decklist. Since pretty much all of the monsters in my line-up are Spellcasters I figured they'd work well with Magician's Circle, especially Night's End Sorcerer. The level of each Fortune Lady is different and changes every turn they're out on the field, so with a level 2 Spellcaster Tuner, I figured I'd have access to a wide range of Synchro Monsters (and there is of course Night's End own effect as abonus)

3 Speed is a bit of an issue. Fortune Future is a nice card in this deck and will undoubtedly prove its worth but other than that there's not a whole lot of draw power in it. Granted, Fortune Lady Light will come in handy but that's it. Allure of darknes might be an option but I'm not entirely sure if 7 darks would be enough to run Allure. Any thoughts or suggestions?

All in all it's probably far from competitive in a TCG Advanced Format, so any fixes and ratings will be appreciated.

Okay, so meanwhile I've been doing some thinking and I've managed to (at least somewhat) eliminate 2 of the problems I indicated in my first post, regarding negation and draw power. So here's the new deck list. As always any replies, fixes and ratings are very much appreciated :) !

Monsters: 20

3x Fortune Lady Light
2x Fortune Lady Fire
2x Fortune Lady Wind
1x Fortune Lady Water
3x Fortune Lady Dark
1x Fortune Lady Earth
3x Cyber Valley
2x Night's End Sorcerer
1x Breaker the Magical Warrior
1x Sangan
1x Solitaire Magical (although this may become a second Breaker)

Spells: 11

1x Heavy Storm
2x Terraforming
3x Secret Village of the Spellcasters
2x Future Visions (Could these be dropped for 2 Allures?)
3x Fortune Future

Traps: 9

3x Threatening Roar
1x Mirror Force
1x Call of the Haunted
3x Compulsory Evacuation Device
1x Magician's Circle


Okay now the most obivous change would probably be the addition of Cyber Valley. In my previous deck list I added Dimensional Fissure because I wanted to be able to use Fortune Future to its full extent. However after having thought it over, I figured that by using Dimensional Fissure I would end up removing too many of my own monsters, putting me at a disadvantage, especially because it would get harder to perform a sychro summon. By using Cyber Valley I have more control over which of my monsters get removed from play while still being able to use Fortune Future. However, there is of course a chance that I'll end up with no Fortune Ladies removed while holding Fortune Future. To that end I kept Future Visions in the line-up. Since it doesn't permanently remove monsters from the game it allows for stalling and further eliminates Fortune Future from being a dead card.
Another addition is the Secret Village of the Spellcaster field spell (SVotS). I mentioned in my first post that I was feeling uneasy about the lack of negation cards. Well this pretty much provides for some negation since all but one of my monsters are spellcasters.
I've also mentioned in this line-up that I'm considering adding in a second Breaker and then adding in Allures, but I'm not entirely sure about it. If you've got any questions about the deck, fire away!

Again, any help would be highly appreciated ^^

P.S.: I've added the link to the Stardust Overdrive set in case some of you haven't seen the yet to be released Fortune Ladies and their support cards :)
