I've been trying to fine tune the deck, to its peak performance. Some cards that i took out were Enemy Controller(s), Gravekeeper's Spy(s), and Mobius & Zaborg from the maindeck. Time to time, i replace the Airknight with either Mobius or Zaborg, just depending on what im needing.

One thing that im lacking is monster destruction. Although i have Relinquished to do that, i have no Smashing Grounds. :( So, i gotta make do with what i got. I was however thinking of using the all so hated... do i dare say...... Hammer Shot(s). lol.

Also i noticed that not that many people like Jinzo, and perfer Mobius (as Mobius is s/t destruction, and Jinzo is negation), but in my own perfernce, i perfer Jinzo, and if you know how to play it right, its not all that bad. :)

Well, thats all. Again, any help would be apprecaited.
Thanks for looking and enjoy!

Ok... Im looking and looking.... Relinquished is a whole different animal to play with.. sort of like it's counter part Thousand Eyes Restrict, except with only half the effect... haha....
This deck seems pretty solid, but I think you could use 2 things in here... a way to shut down the opponents S / T and more monster destruction.....

This is just a crazy suggestion but I think it could prove to be helpful.... have you thought of Horus in this deck?? ... food for thought... ( mixed with Jinzo all you have to worry about is their monsters... )

Now.. besides that I dont see alot of problem with your monster lineup, but I do think it could be an improvement....

SPELLS : ok.. this is where you make or break yourself with this deck.... looks fairly solid, but lacking.. I would like to add in one Brain Control so that you have 2 of them..... bring another element of control to the deck.... ..

TRAPS: hmmmm... you have a good trap lineup, but I think that 2 strategically placed Solemn Judgment would do wonders for you... SO... lets drop the Bottomless Trap Holes for them...

Sorry Neil, thats all Ive got, but it would bring it up to 43 cards...... But I think that without the Bottomlesses and replacing them with SJ, you could negate and destroy something more strategically ... You have the Sakuretsus... and one more Brain Control... Hope this gives you some ideas......

(I definitely think another Brain Control would do great, and those Solemn Judgments would give you an element of surprise, cuz you cant Bottomless ALL of their monsters, but some of the smaller ones CAN be deadly to you... especially with that new guy... D. D. Warrior ) hope this helps... Laterz man

Hey. Thanks man. I really like the ideas. :icon_cool

As of know, im going to :

-2 Bottomless Trap Holes (moves to sidedeck)
+2 Solemn Judgment (takes one out of the sidedeck)

+1 Brain Control

--------------

But what might you suggest for the Horus (by horus, im assuming your talking about LV6 right?)? I wanna test with it and see how it performs :D. I was thinking airknight or a Chaos Sorcerer for the horus, but still not that sure.

Thanks for the suggestions man!

Honestly I was thinking of taking out a Chaos Sorcerer AND a Cyber Dragon / Airknight Parshath ........ and putting 2 in.. but for now... try taking out 1 Sorcerer... Airknight is an invaluable resource.....


You know Im thinking about it.... maybe a Level 6 AND a LV8 Horus would be good... whats the worse you can do... put in a Level Modulation , and bring either one out without paying attention to the summon requirements at all.... ( but i dont want to change the face of your deck.. so just go with 1 Horus LV 6... unless you think it would be a good approach to try )

Hmm... ok ill probably take out 1 sorcerer for now.
Um, i beleive Horus LV6 is just unaffected by all spells. You dont choose. its just unaffected period.

Actually, since it targets in the graveyard, Horus (level 6 and level 8 alike) CAN be brought to the field, by it =P
 
seems risky, but if you can pull it off, do it... I say test it out and see how it works..
from MY own experience, Thunder Dragons can be a hinderance at times.. and its usually the most inopportune time too...
