Playstyle
More than pretty much any other recent deck, D/D/D is a combocentric deck, and as such, it's playstyle is incredibly complex, each monster being a combo piece in a dozen different combos. The main goal of the deck is to strike a balance between the very powerful control aspect of the deck, based around locking down you opponent and stunning them with your defensive contracts. and the ability to fill fields with powerful beatsticks through a variety of summon chains.
Weaknesses
The main vunerability of the deck often lies in the early game, if an opponent can stop the deck gaining advantage with Gate searches, or stops the turn 1 play, the player does have to work hard in order to recoup advantage. Spell and Trap destruction such as Fairy Wind or Twin Twister can also be very nasty, stopping the contractsin their tracks, whilst handtraps like Maxx "C" can outright stop you in your tracks.
