Skill Drain

one of my friends actually just started using a deck very similar to this one, its a good deck however i think yours is seriously lacking in monsters. You want to be sure to have more monsters than anything else so a 40 card deck should for the most part have a minimum deck of 20 monsters. Also, why use 43 cards? i would recommend taking out 6 magic and trap cards and adding 3 other monsters you think would help. the cards i think you dont need would be the Swords of Revealing Light, Pot of Avarice, Cease Fire, Torrential Tribute, Dust Tornade (or MST but keep 1), and maybe 1 Nobleman of Crossout. Swords should go because its so hard to keep in play most of the time, Pot of Avarice because you bairly have any monsters so getting the monsters in the grave is going to be pretty tough before you either win or die, Cease Fire because its not a burner deck, extra damage is good but this card i think is just taking up space. Torrential Tribute can screw you over to much, Dust tornado because you already have enough cards to do away with spells and traps, and Nobleman because its a still drain deck so its not like flip effects are a problem anyway and you still have one left in the deck. If you have any questions about any of those choices please message me.

Hey, I also run a skill drain beatdown, I think you could lose the pot b/c the point of a beat down is to move fast, you should have about won the dual by the time that you can use the pot, and also, you could take out the torrential, and the ceasefire to add in a smashing ground and a nobleman, that way you can clear the field faster to take out their LPs, sidedeck anything you take out, and consider adding a Cat of Ill Omen to your deck as well, b/c if you don't get a skill drain in the first few turns you're pretty much SOL, also you should consider losing the 2 exiled, they are more or a waste than anything, Gilasaurus, Giant Orc, Indomitable Fighter Lei Lei, Mist Archfiend, or Thunder King Rai-Oh would all also be good cards for a beatdown drain. Hopefully it works for you in the turnament. (and one last tip, due to the popularity of Lightsworn and Blackwings, consider decking or SDing a dimensional fissure)

nice, but now that your card count is up to 42 I'd def. consider keeping at least 20 monsters, you get stuck with all those spells and traps and you'll be in trouble, have you gotten to test it in a tourny yet?
