Due to the resent changes in the metagame and the new opportunities it opens I want to be creative and build my newest version of a Horus deck. This version is focused on locking down the field until I have LV 8 out to destroy. Well tell me what you think and what should be changed.

Monsters
1x Horus LV 8
3x Horus LV 6
3x Mystic Tomato
2x Don Zaloog
2x Dekoichi the Battlechanted Locomotive
2x Exiled Force
1x Sangan
1x Mystic Swordsman LV 2
1x Morphing Jar
2x Magican Merchant
1x Spirit Reaper
1x Magician of Faith
1x Treeborn Frog

Spells
3x Messenger of Peace
3x Enemy Controller
2x Creature Swap
2x My Body as a Shield
2x Renforcement of the Army
1x Smashing Ground
1x Heavy Storm
1x Mystical Space Typhoon
1x Scapegoat
1x Nobleman
1x Premature Burial
1x Book of Moon
1x Graceful Charity
1x Confiscation
1x Pot of Avarice
Traps
2x Royal Decree
1x Mirror Force
1x Ring of Destruction

Looks nice, but i would probably

-1 Don
-1 Decko
-2 EC or RR

+2 Newdoria/Cyber Dragon
+1 Smashing Ground
+1 Torrential Tribute

and MAYBE

-1 Merchant
+1 Last Will

Other than that it looks good.
9/10

I made some changes to my deck, seeing on how the competition is thinking and how the metagame might unfold.... Please make suggestions

hmm, treeborn frog is banned, and it would be more practical to run only two lv 6 and tehn two lv 8, try taking out the merchants for something more garunteed like a ddwl or somesuch

Treeborn Frog is banned? I did not see it on the list they sent the judges, its only limited to one. But thats a thought... 2x LV 8 and 2x LV 6

Wait, isn't Exiled Force limited? I just checked the list for my brother and he's limited. You put that there is two in the deck.

It seems like nobody has seen the September 1st 2006 Ban List, not on the Upperdeck Site but will be up soon unless they change it... but judges were sent out a copy of the list. You can find it on this site by using the search engine.
