Advice? Ok, forget about this deck, and give it to me. No? Oh well, up the decree count, and lose all other traps.

-pssvr
 
see the problem that i have with this deck is that i top deck ALL the time. thats why i went down to 1 lv 8 because with my luck, i end up with 2 in hand when the lower levels are NOWHERE to be found.lol. but other than that, i really dont have a problem. let me know if you think of a way i can deal with high lv monster hands. should i use the dragon searchers to quicken the deck up? well, anyways, thanx for the help. i will be testing it out asap again!
 
Why don't you try removing the two Messenger of Peace and Brain Control in favor of two copies of Reload, for when you have too many high level dragons in your hand, and a copy of Graveyard in the Fourth Dimension. Then you can recover your higher level horus dragons if they end up in the graveyard for whatever reason.
 
Deck looks sweet....
as for your problem top decking .....

-2 Messenger of Peace
+ Card Destruction
+ Reload

-2 D. D. Assailant
+1 Sangan
+1 Masked Dragon

or you can add 2 Masked Dragon.. but Sangan willl put anything else in hand too....
You can also go with 3 Masked Dragons as they will search each other out and still give you field presence. (Just in case you have Horus LV 6 in hand)

ALSO... with Horus and any LV type decks you should be packing at least 2 Level Up... this will help your Horus's Grow to the upper level faster..

Nice deck... hope it runs well for ya !!

Hello, In my Horus deck I run Spear Dragons for trample then you can lose -1 Enraged Battle Ox & -2 Berzerk Gorillas for +3 Spear Dragons

As far as searchers Masked Dragons are nice if you are running something like Armed Dragon LV3 & LV5 but they won't help you with horus(because LV4 is 1600 attack) except for field presence in which case Nimble Momonga is a better choice because it adds Life points and gives you tributes quickly.

Might I suggest possibilities of Mask of Weakness and or Rush Recklessly to boost and reduce for kills with Horus LV4. Also, the Mask of Weakness even works with Horus LV6 and LV8. Also a Ceasefire wouldn't hurt to eliminate those nasty flip effects and help keep out Horus after attacks.
I love Horus but Tribute Lock up is Going to happen. It's just a matter of when. This is why you don't see many tournament decks built with him as the center piece. Many of the suggestions made here I've tried and some help. Ultimately I differ to one of my other decks when pressed for consistant winning. But I hope you have better success.

Forget Reload, it really isn't worth the cardboard it is printed on. Try Lighten the Load. Awfully helpful to keep those LV8 in the deck instead of dead weight in hand. I have to agree with the suggestions to lighten the traps and run heavy on decree.
 
Lighten the Load only works for level seven and higher monsters if I'm not mistaken. With only one or two level eights, it's not worth running. I suggested the messengers out because I personally don't see the horus line meshing well with them. I think they work much better around an Armed Dragon deck since the lower level armed dragon is a lot weaker than the horus one. Ambushing someone with Rush Recklessly and an Horus level four seems to be a better suprise than trying to wait for a monster a level four can handle for level six to hit the field from the deck (the best way to get level monsters out). Luster Dragons can hold their own pretty well after all. Erm, by the way, can Horus level six attack through Messenger of Peace?
 
Ah... I see, I wasn't sure about that because Messenger's text says that neither player can declare an attack with a monster with more than 1500 attack points. The card would be stopping a player from doing something before stopping the monster from doing something. So it goes the same for Swords of Revealing Light ne? Sorry, I'm not too experienced with the Horus line, though I do have an Armed Dragon Deck.
 
hey i took in some suggestions and it improved A LOT. the level ups are amazing!!! i love busting out a lv 6 and then playing lv up! lol. i am just using 3 traps, Royal Decrees. i dont have the third, but that will be easy since in about a couple weeks, the warrior's triumph structure decks will be out!! yea! my favorite cards! anyways, thanx for the suggestions. heres my new deck:

Deck looks so much better... good job... I bet those Nimbles really come in handy when you need field presence and something to tribute..... U will have to tell us how it runs after weekend tourneys (if you go)..... I remember my brother had a Horus deck.... and it would tick me off when he would spring a Level up trick and have LV6 or 8 out on his 1st of second turn.... so i know your deck will frustrate some other duelist.... good job
 
Looking very solid. I really don't think much of LV4 since it is both weak and unsearchable. I have had a lot of success with Gilasaurus in a deck similar to this one. Great tribute bait for Jinzo or LV6 and most of the time the monster that comes back from the opponent's graveyard is too weak to survive the LV6 attack so it gets easier to get to LV8.
 
i tested it out saturday and it took second! it did really good. i LOVE nimbles!! they helped out so much with getting trib's in hand. thanx for the help. it really made using this deck fun!
 
That's awesome to hear, good job man... I bet the more you play this deck the better you will do with it as you will become accustomed to how it plays, and how to use it more efficiently.. Im sure you have a 1st place coming up soon....
