I know, I'm actually bothering to run Horus lv4. But seriously, without the 3x, those lv 6 can be alot of dead cards. And sides, I'm pretty much considering my Horus as "Hydrogeddon" in another form. Not to mention Horus just have to destroy a monster to upgrade, not send it to the graveyard. It's a great Scapegoat tech. So since I'm kinda running 6x Hydrogeddon, I'm running 2x Rush and 2x EC. (Along with Decree and Jinzo for Horus lock) And yes, I am taking a HUGE risk by running 2x Decree and Call with a treeborn Frog. But with a deck that's running 4 tributes (I don't consider Cyber Dragon "tributes") and 1 dead card (i.e. Horus lv8) I'll need that Frog time to time, especially when I'm losing and it's pointless to even set that Decree.
 
One card i have come to love latley is my body as a shield. will protect ur horous from exiled, DD warriors, and zaborg effects and some traps like mirror, saks,
 
treeborn is a horrible choice no matter which way you look it... horus lv4 is as well... id rather draw something more usefull then a 1600 atker that can possibly become lv6 if its atk goes through... the flaw with your deck is that if lv8 takes the fall... you hardly have anything as a backup plan and the monsters you've chosen can hardly put up a fight for an aggressive finish... my build included tomato, newdoria and don.... newdoria is something that will come in hand alot of times and will make your opp think twice before atking... don is great hand disruption while running hydrogeddonwhich can just pull itself out... there are many instances when your not strong enough... newdoria doesnt care he takes something down with it when it gets slayin... this is why horus decks dont make it... because they relly on pulling the combo but if lv8 or decree takes the fall, you barely have a chance to recover.
 
Of course I know that if Horus lv8 goes down, it's bad. But hopefully I won't be too dependant on it. Basically, I'm trying to be over agrresive with Hydrogeddon and whatnots before they get the chance to beat it. And then I'll sidedeck into another strat the 2nd round. Tomatos and Newdoria won't matter too much if the foe goes Cyber Dragon and Asura Priest on it. (Or Zaborg) Hydrogeddon is good as alot of people run tomatos and rats these days. I'm using my Hydrogeddon to bait out all the threats of Exiled/DDWL/etc before I finale with the Horus lv 8. And Cyber Dragon/Asura Priest hitting Rush Recklessly is cool. (Although risky since it's not a Saku)

I am thinking of taking out the Frog though. (Like you said, maybe for a Don) And I'm also thinking of taking out Torrential for Confiscation. (If I KNOW they have an anti-Horus monster in their hand, I can swipe it before they can use it.)
 
well sure hydro sounds like a good plan but how much rampage can you really do with a 1600 atker? all your opp will do is let you bring all 3 out so he can torrential or mirror force the last atk... rush recklesly may only work enough to kill a monsters to bring out another hydro.... but then with a decent enough monsters they will be pick off... if my opp uses asura on me... i get newdoria right after and he'll be stupid to smash into it i use it only as monster removal and unless hes using vampire lord or sacred phoenix, he'll have to seriously consider his losses by ramming my newdoria.

You just answered your own question. It still serves as good deck thinning. Similar to Thunder Dragon.
 
id prefer thunder dragon that way if your opponent is going for your hand he can hit them or you can discard them for graceful its much more quicker and the prerequisite to its deckthining ability isnt so hard to fullfil... while hydro needs to actually kill something to bring out another, something that doesnt always work.
