Reasons:
After reading the post that Ultimate Six Samurai made I thought of the main points in my deck. Barbaros. Skill drain. What can I do to improve these cards? I added more Fusilier dragons because of the forbidden Chalice I added. Using the Chalice I make Barbaros 3400 attack for 1 turn and NEGATE his effect THEREBY returning his damage to original from then on. Making that card a staple for this deck. Who else can benifit most from that card? My Fusiliers. With both these cards filling up my deck I am then able to add a Machine King Barbaros since everybody loves a special summon. Making him really easy to get out with an insane attack damage. His negitive ability is also negated by Forbidden Chalice and skill drain.

Why did I remove so many traps? I dont fear being attacked most of the time. When everything goes right then the enemy wont be able to attack. So why use to Scrap Iron? Magic Cylinder is again, a card that req. me to be attacked. I do not mind the enemy blowing up all their cards trying to take out my defence. Torrential Tribute was always my least played card. Removing my monsters as well has a negitive impact on my deck. Call of the Haunted makes my monster that I special summon way to vulnerable. But its definitly in the side deck and one of my hardest cards to remove.

More magic? To be honest, I have wanted to add Double Summon for a very long time but was lazy. I think that card speaks for its self. Not a single card in my deck req. to be tributed allowing me to get out all the pretty little beasts I desire. Why not ultimate offerings? That card req. LP as cost and I believe my opponent can also use this card. 1 less Zombie world is a small price to pay for a FREE Skill Drain also known as FUTURE VISIONS. A card I was unaware of untill recently. Having my Mech/Barbaros/Fusilier summoned this way reverts their effects allowing me to controll them at their peek! Forcing my opponent to summon slower then normal also helps a lot.

Why only 1 Giant Kozaky? I chose to use Goku insted of Kozaky because of his combination with Zombie World/Future Visions/Forbidden Chalice. Its a real shame Kozaky isnt more versitile. I did use Kozaky more when I ran Spell Pain and Barrel Behind The Door.

Some cards I chose to not include in my deck but I am aware of:
A Hero Emerges
Currently debating on weather to add a few of these cards to my deck.

Monster Gate
Chances are, I will never have a monster I want to tribute. (brain control maybe)
Reasoning
If this made me lose a Skill Drain I would cry
Pole Position
Now I have to waste my Dark Bribe protecting this card? Meanwhile it can easily be turned agenst me if my enemy summons a monster stronger then mine!
Burden of the Mighty
A very good card and no reason to not include it in my deck other then the 40 card rule. Didnt make the cut...
Majestic Mech - Ohka & Mist Archfiend
The reason I chose Goku over his younger brother and his buddy the Archfiend is because of Zombie world. Allowing me to keep Goku with out Skill Drain and not having to worry about protecting Zombie World since Goku would not be destroyed even after Zombie World is.
Ultimate Offering
It was a serious though in my deck but losing LP is a big thing. Being able to normal summon during my opponents turn is tempting and a posible future card. Perhaps lose 1 double summon?
D.D.R - Different Dimension
I would have used this in conjunction with Future Visions or special summoning my Machine King Barbaros
Damage Condenser
If I am taking enough damage to be able to special summon ANY monster in my deck other then Breaker. I am doing something wrong. And breaker is the last card I would want to special summon.
Royal Oppression
Currently thinking of adding this card and ultimate offering in place of both my Double Summons


A Combination I am currently looking into (another free skill drain):
Shadow Imprisoning Mirror OR Light Imprisoning Mirror
+
DNA Transplant

This looks pretty good. I guess now I feel like posting my Skill Drain deck. My only suggestion is lose Zombie World altogether and add in another Future Visions.

Yes but Zombie World restricts tribute summons. Something I do not do but is often played agenst me. Which is the main reason I had 2 before.

I think you should add your SD deck. Would like to know what I did differently...

You shouldn't play according to your opponent's deck, though. If anything, I'd side-deck it. Future Visions is much more helpful towards the power of YOUR deck.

You read my deck advice, so I'll refer you to my analogy of the tank. Make your tank stronger. That way, you won't have to worry about what kind of wall your opponent builds. You'll be able to run over it no matter what.

However, its a scary thing having your enemy with an army and not having anything. Then being able to only summon 1 monster AND have him RFG for your enemys entire next turn? Thats the main reason I have Zombie World.

Thats a good point and I keep thinking ``almost all decks would have several level 5+ monsters that req. a tribute. Not only that but allowing me to keep my Gokus regardless of his effect.`` But I supose Future Visions also reduces the enemy because not almost all but ALL decks req. the enemy to normal summon. Reducing this would help me just as much as keeping tributes out and being able to freely summon my Goku. Future Vision helps not only with Goku but with Fusilier and Barbaros.

In shot, I supose your right. Future would benifit me more then Zombie World. Perhaps insted of another Future Vision I should run a teraform? Limit the number of cards in my deck to 39;p

lol 2 Future visions and Terraforming is what I run in my skill drain deck. lol
