Interesting build.
I like the deck. But you have massive lp payment. perhaps drop the Skill Drains to 2 and you could also use Nimbles as a resource to gain back some of the lp's that you have lost. Oh yeah, and nimble=fast swarm ;)

But yeah, nice deck. I like it.

nkarunatilaka,

good call on the deck. LPs can be an issue to pull off Cyber-Stein. I've been considering Nimble Momonga for a while now. But not sure what to drop.

1) Light of Intervention and Skill Drain pawn in today's meta.

2) Cyber-Stein works great if I get it early but after turn 7 it's most certainly a dead draw -- especially if Skill Drain is out and working.

3) The speed of warriors and power of machines is an awesome hybrid and the warriors I am running work great with Skill Drain.

Do I just drop cyber stein all together? If so -- what two monsters would you pick up?

Yes. LP's are an issue in your deck. IMO, to make the deck flow better, i would drop Cyber Stein to 0-1, if you really want to use it, then keep it at 1, 2 is a bit of overkill unless ur going for a FTK/OTK.

LoI and SD are very good indeed in todays meta. Perhaps back down a little on you "power-house" monsters, and maybe go for monsters that have effects that activate in the graveyard and can be more versitile. Also 3 Skill Drain is a bit towards the overkill side, although its not also that bad.

Some fixes that i can come up with that can make the deck run more "fluid" are::

-1 Cyber-Stein
-1 Big Shield Guardna
-1 Fusiler Dragon, The Dual-Mode Beast
-1 Megamorph
-1 Skill Drain

+2 Newdoria
+2 Mystic Tomato
+1 Dust Torndao

------
Also, if you wanted, you could just replace the Newdorias and the Tomatos for Nimbles and perhaps the 2nd Cyber-Stein if that suited your taste.

I would also possible think of dropping the Metamorphosis. Although its quite able to work well with Fusiler Dragon, when you have Skill Drain out, the meta'd fusion you have out (Weither it be Balter, Ryu Senshi, Dark Blade, or Last Warrior), there "potential" is rendered useless b/c of SD.

Just some thoughts to help make your deck as good as it can get.

Neil,

I orginally ran Newdoria, but the removal was counter productive for my Cyber Dragon -- and I rarely got the effect. That's why I went to the Smashing Grounds for late main phase 1 removal (working extremely well).

With 3x Skill Drain, the overkill is welcome. Skill Drain cripples 90% of monster cards in today's meta.

LIO just seems to blind side everyone -- taking away a flips and face down threats just throughs CC duelists totally off thier game. Those running burn decks just sit with their face in thier hands -- and it keeps the overly abused Tsyukomi out of play. I truly love this card and the frustration it brings to the duelist mat.

Even with 2-3x Giant Trunade, MST and Heavy, I've been able to pull off efects when I need them (for the FTO/OTK). I get the OTK in 60% of duels.

I don't know -- maybe Mystik Wok is the solution. But what do I drop for 2x of those?

Metamorphosis is one candidate -- but the LoI - Last warrior lock is killer when it happens, but that's only 1 in 7 duels or so.
