I tested my deck and it was not bad, but it's not the performance I'm looking for. It is kinda slow, and with a bad hand.. I'm done.

So, can you help me?

Alright. You're going to get a Naito review, where I write a really long piece about what I think should happen to your deck. : D

This review will be divided into four sections, covering your monsters, spells, traps, and extra deck respectively. Each section will start and end with a list of the cards you run, with the ending list including commentary on what I feel should happen to your deck. Within each section, I will do my best to provide details as to what I feel should happen to your deck. So yeah, hope you enjoy. : 3

So, let's start with monsters:

You run the following:

3x Bujin Yamato
2x Bujin Mikazuchi
3x Bujingi Crane
2x Bujingi Quilin
1x Honest
2x Bujingi Turtle
1x Bujingi Ophidian
1x Bujingi Wolf
1x Bujingi Hare
1x Bujingi Centipede
1x Photon Thrasher
1x Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Bear
1x Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Gorilla

My recommendations:

-You were on the right track when you started, but then you derailed. This monster section isn't quite up to par. Let's improve

-Get rid of the Fire Fists. Bujins used to need to use these guys just to bulk out the deck a bit and give Tenki a bit more meaning, but now they don't need them. You'll find that Bear and Gorilla quickly become dead weight in the increased pace of the new Bujins.

-Photon Thrasher is a bad choice. Bujins don't need Warrior-Type monsters in the deck, and Thrasher doesn't do a lot to benefit Bujins outside of being a LIGHT monster. Crane can't boost him, so he's kinda crap.

-Wolf and Ophidian are shitty cards. You won't need to directly attack the opponent, and ANY Bujingi that has an effect that requires it's presence on the Field beside the Bujin Beast-Warriors is terrible, no matter what his effect is. Ditch them both

-Side two Centipede beside one Quilin, then ditch what's left. These cards aren't fantastic for the Main Deck anymore, as you're going to need to protect your cards and deck-thin a lot more than you're going to need to induce backrow damage.

-Bump Hare to two. This guy is great, and needs to be run at two to three. He'll stop you from dying on SO many occasions, I can't even begin to list them.

-Throw in two to three Peacock. This guy has great deck-thinning capabilities behind him, and will easily grab out that Bujin that you really need at the perfect moment.

-Throw in two to three Sinyou. This guy is basically ANOTHER Honest and he's fan-fucking-tastic! Not a ton of online players have seen this guy yet, as Bujin aren't as popular as they were before. A lot of opponents will be thrown off really badly when you banish this guy on them. It's great.

-Throw in an Arasuda. This guy is just a nice card to have in the deck. Special Summons himself conveniently, and has a pretty neat effect. Not required, but definitely recommended.

-Throw in two Hirume. She is an awesome card that will touch down on the Field fast, and will leave your opponent in a world of hurt. She carries 2000 ATK, and will survive on the Field by herself for as long as you need her to. In addition, if she does die, she'll throw away a card in your opponent's hand, and then a card in yours, which is super helpful, because this format hates have cards discarded, and Bujins love having their stuff in the Graveyard. Plus, you can combo this card with another Bujin Beast-Warrior to quickly bring out three of their four boss monsters. How great is that!?

So, basically, this is what I feel should happen to your monsters:


3x Bujin Yamato - Keep the same
2x Bujin Mikazuchi - Keep the same
3x Bujingi Crane - Keep the same
2x Bujingi Quilin - Move to Side Deck and -1
1x Honest - Keep the same
2x Bujingi Turtle - Keep the same
1x Bujingi Ophidian - Remove
1x Bujingi Wolf - Remove
1x Bujingi Hare - +1
1x Bujingi Centipede - +1 and Move to Side Deck
1x Photon Thrasher - Remove
1x Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Bear - Remove
1x Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Gorilla  - Remove
+2 - 3 Bujingi Peacock
+2 - 3 Bujingi Sinyou
+0 - 1 Bujin Arasuda
+2 Bujin Hirume

Let's move on, shall we?

According to your recommendations, I changed my strategy a lil bit to suit the new cards:

[img][/img]

It's doing great so far, any suggestions?

Ok well there is no way I can beat one of Naito's intense reviews. However just a bit of advice Bujin's have great variation in how they can play and how you can build the deck. An optimal build changes from person to person. Therefore use the changes Naito gives you as they will be good but as you play the deck customise it for your style.

I personally don't agree with Sinyou at 2 though. Any more than one teched in isn't worth it. I'd also main a Quilin not a Centipede. Those are a couple of minor things I suggest although feel free to stick with Naito's suggestions.

Yeah, I didn't feel good at dueling when I sided my only quilin so I decided to return it back to main deck, but for Sinyou I really like it.. Bujin decks have kinda weak monsters and in 3-4 turns I run out of my supporting Bujingi(s) so it helps lots of time.

Feel free to rate my final touches dormmate. 

Haha Bujins are weak. Love that statement. As a long time Gadget player any level 4 with 1700+ attack is strong in my eyes. However if you live off of Cranes and Sinyous I don't feel your using the deck optimally although I'll have to duel you some point to see if that is true. I'm going to leave deck changing suggestions to Naito though cause I don't want to mess with his review.

Lol, I said kinda* weak.  Yamato itself is nothing without Bujingi(s) like Crane, Hare and Turtle. I tested this deck a hundred times, and after 3-4 turns of domination of Yamato on the field I run out of my supporting cards, if I didn't have another plan I'll be dead, since I dropped my Bujin Regalia - The Sword and depended more on Royal Decree, I'm kinda fine with my Sinyou. :D

Maybe we could test it together, I'm ready anytime.

Umm what happened to making xyzs and if I'm honest this format an 1800 beater does a lot of damage alone let alone one who is almost impossible to kill. However sadly I can't duel until the 12th of August so if you are still active then, we can duel. I hope testing goes well in the meantime.

I will be waiting, sir.

I would finish the review, but I actually think the deck you have currently looks good. Personally, I would take out the Call of the Haunted and the Royal Decrees, then replace them with two Black Horn of Heaven and two Trap Stun, but other than that, it's looking good.

If you do want me to finish the review, I'd be happy to. Would've gotten it done a few days ago, had it not been for the extra work piled onto me recently. Sorry about that. ^^;

Thanks for your sweet words, and I really like this build for now. If I need any further suggestions, I'll ask you again.  

Alright. Sounds good. I'm glad I managed to help you out.

Well since Naito has finished for now I feel you really need to fit Soul Charge in.

I'm siding one. Sadly, I couldn't manage to use it in my first 5 duels so I moved it to side deck just in case.

I'm hoping your only siding it cause your trying out different cards and that it isn't part of a serious side deck. I mean your Ra so I'll guess that's why. I also recommend Lances over MST as something to try out as well.

Konami gives you people 3 Tenkis and you don't use it : P

Wow didn't even see that. Listen to Gala. Use 3 Tenki. Never use Bujin spells except for carnation.

Sure, one of the important steps in building a deck is comparing your cards and choose the most effective. According to that I didn't just throw out my Soul Charge/2 Forbidden Lances, and I sided 'em instead. Also, I'm not planning to show all my tricks util we duel.

But I use 3, lol. :D

You don't use 3 in your most recent deck image. However I admire the not showing all your tricks bit and I look forward to our duel.

Well Train your build is very similar to mine and Skul I recommend having a build very similar to his personally.

@Train why do you have a build of it if you hate it?

So I can test my other decks against it.

Ahh ok good point. I do a similar thing with Lightsworn.

Urm tbh Decree is outdated in the best of Bujin builds. He has MST for LIM. Oh and don't side Belt especially not when Shaddolls arrive.

Fair enough I assumed it wouldn't last long in your build hence why it got no mention. 3 Tenki is Bujin law though. First turn Yamato is basically crucial.
