Ice Barrier Deck

Hello one and all, could I ask you all to help me improve this deck to something more reliable? At the moment, it has a high chance of a mediocre draw, which can be fatal. If possible, I’d prefer to keep it Swarm-oriente, so Token-summoners would be very nice.

[Monsters] - 25
{1-4}
2 Caravan of the Ice Barrier
2 Cryomancer of the Ice Barrier
2 Defender of the Ice Barrier
2 Dewdark of the Ice Barrier
3 Prior of the Ice Barrier
2 Sacred Spirit of the Ice Barrier
2 Spellbreaker of the Ice Barrier
2 Strategist of the Ice Barrier
{5-6}
1 Dai-Sojo of the Ice Barrier
1 General Raiho of the Ice Barrier
1 Royal Knight of the Ice Barrier
{7-8}
2 General Gantala of the Ice Barrier
1 General Grunard of the Ice Barrier
1 Medium of the Ice Barrier

[Spell Cards] - 14
1 Book of Moon
1 Big Wave Small Wave
1 Dark Hole
1 Heavy Storm
3 Magic Triangle of the Ice Barrier
3 Medallion of the Ice Barrier
1 Monster Reborn
2 Moray of Greed
2 Mystical Space Typhoon

[Trap Cards] - 1
1 Royal Decree

I expect LOTS of criticism, since this deck is fairly weak, I'm sure. I'd prefer to avoid trap cards, aside from Royal Decree, but Quick-Play Spell cards are fine.

Focus more on the defender/gantala lock to constantly summon synchro's.

The monster line up should be:

3 Defender
3 Gantala
3 Prior
3 Strategist
2 Samurai
2-3 Tech's

As for spells:

Main Staples
3 Medallion
3 Triangle
2 Moray
3 Salvage

The rest is up to you

Thank you kindly, I forgot to mention that I had the allowed Ice Barrier Sync monsters in my Extra Deck. Ah well. Thank you for the advice, again.

No problem, I also forgot to mention Surface is a pretty good tech spell for IB

I'll note that. Could I ask what'd you mean by 'Tech'?

A tech is a card that isn't always in a deck but can help it by doing many different things

Ah, alright. Thank you again.

Hmm, ryko can be a tech for the deck, and umm effect veiler should be in it, and if you are to only use royal decree for a trap, than you should max it out, but an ice barrier deck can rely heavily on their defense with trap cards, though it iss only upon your interests.

Hmmm... I just want to have more monsters than spell cards, that's why I'd acvoid trap cards. But, I can see your point.

Trap cards won't be needed as your opponent can't really destroy your monsters except with card effects

And thats really where the traps come along. You see, by utilising their effect to maximise it, they use traps such as devine rath, black horn of heaven and so on, especially solemn, so their monsters stay in tact and stay with their effecs, so cards like dark bribe, and the ones I listed would be used, but not really other cards that are based as staples.

Well, I changed the deck a bit and my chances went up quite a bit. Still not a fool-proof deck [Such things are hard to make, if possible] but the advice helped me a lot. Here's my current deck:

Main Deck:

x2 Dai-sojo of the Ice Barrier
x3 Defender of the Ice Barrier
x3 Dewdark of the Ice Barrier
x3 General Gantala of the Ice Barrier
x1 General Grunard of the Ice Barrier
x2 General Raiho of the Ice Barrier
x3 Prior of the Ice Barrier
x2 Samurai of the Ice Barrier
x3 Strategist of the Ice Barrier

x1 Book of Moon
x1 Dark Hole
x1 Heavy Storm
x3 Magic Triangle of the Ice Barrier
x3 Medallion of the Ice Barrier
x2 Moray of Greed
x3 Salvage
x2 Surface

x1 Mirror Force
x1 Trap Jammer

Total: 40 Cards

Extra Deck:

x1 Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier
x2 Dewloren, Tiger King of the Ice Barrier
x3 Gugnir, Dragon of the Ice Barrier

Total: 6 Cards

Now I want to have a Side Deck for a few specific situations. Firstly, what cards could help me with Dragon Decks that use Darkness Metal and Lightpulsar Dragons? Raiho is an option with Cryomancer and Dai-sojo, but It'd have to get a good draw for such a combo. Are there any spell/trap cards I should look out for? Also, what's are good anti-banishment cards? I want to be able to go against Banishers... I can imagine using Imperial iron Wall, are there others?

Erhm... Trap Jammer? Seven Tools Of The Bandit is much more flexible, albeit with a minor cost. Then you have your Solemn's and your Torrential's...
But, I digress. If you are having trouble against Dragons, Imperial Iron Wall, Gozen Match, Tomb of the Super-ancient Organism... um... Dragon Capture Jar?

Dragon Capture Jar, right, I completely forgot about the card... And the Grave of the Super Ancient Organism makes a nice combo with A Legendary Ocean for me, I like it. Thanks for the advice.
