I like where your going here with the Debris dragon, nice idea! And Unifrog is an easy discard so I agree there totally! But I have to say what's your thoughts on the Aqua Spirits.. I found that they help me allot especially combined with getting my high tributes out and Spiritual water. I found spiritual water was like a nice Trap dustshoot. Especially with cards like fishborg and Treeborn! And yeah I was thinking of Jinzo and some soul exchanges. xD

Very nice feed back it made me think allot. This is what I decided to do for now and ill test for awhile on it.

-2 Unifrog
-1 Subsitoad
-2 Aqua spirit
-2 Spiritual Water

+2 Debris Dragon
+2 soul exchange
+2 Jinzo
+1 Mind control

Also Ill make changes to accommodate for Debris in syncro line up! Anyone have ideas on extra deck? I also decided no on the bottomless because my whole strat here is to let them summon and possible use there monsters to help get mine out, I feel bottomless might not be as useful as Mind control or leaving field open for Gorz. Although I could be wrong ill test a bit and see what cards are ending up dead more often and replace those with bottomless. :-)

-4 traps (all traps)
-2 mobius
-1 fishborg
-1 mind control
-1 smashing ground
-1 vortex
(-3 dupe frog : they're not needed)

+4 raiza/thestalos (use 4 of those 2 cards)
+1 substitoad
+1 swap frog
+1 treeborn frog
+1 quickdraw synchron
+3 Battle fader
+2 spiritual art water aoi

maybe I forgot some cards

As far as the jinzo I don't know they seem to help me allot
especially since I seem to get nice card advantage as it is. I would Consider
replacing it with something nice though like another LADD but I seem to get him
half the time anyways and I can always swap frog him out if I want to. I don’t
think its 100% necessary to have another 8 star since I already have like 10 6
star +.

The Raiza's would be good maybe I can sacrifice a Jinzo for it or swap out 1
thestalos. As far as the additional Swap frog I found 2 is enough with this
deck. It's not necessary for me to use my swap frog all the time in a duel
anyways.

I have been thinking of getting rid of the lightning vortex but I find it does
help often with OTK decks or swarm decks. Also it works well with Dandy and Pot
of Avarice or Treeborn.

As far as the swords yeah I could easily get rid of those even though there a
nice stall, they don’t seem to work well with Treeborn but with it only being a
problem with Treeborn and having a 3 turn stall.. I don't know it's a toss up I
suppose I could replace with a Raiza but then that will be 11 6star + monsters.
This could pose for more of a possible beginning starting hand.

I would consider getting rid of Giant Trunade before Cold Wave but what would I
replace it with?

The Soul Exchange yeah maybe I can get rid of Trunade for Exchange but then it
would be smart for me to replace at least 2 thestalos with Raizas.

The Pot of Avarice I find one is good enough and since I already get nice card
advantage with cards like Battle Fader and Treeborn, etc. I feel adding another
one that could possibly hurt me if I draw 2 in the beginning or draw it when
it's of no use could be a highly negative factor.



I won't make any changes yet but as further testing goes down I will keep all these considerations in mind.

EDIT: Forgot to mention Debris Dragon haha. I like this card it's an easy syncro if I'm drawing dead and works well with Spiritual Water too.
