Arsenal Summoner needs some more targets to search out if it is going to be of much use to you.

I know that other people would suggest that you swap out the Fissures for Smashing Grounds, but it's your choice.

Please take a look at the deck in my sig entitled 'Tryce.dec' due to the fact that it is also a guardian deck and it could probably give you some ideas for this kind of deck type. Things like abusing the Sphinx's rock type and having ways to deal with Mystic Swordsman level 2, Exiled Force and Snatch Steal are paramount.

Remember, sidedecking is key.

Also, Sakuretsu Armor is a lackluster trap with no potential gain over an opponent. It also is not chainable and is impracticle with the large amount of spell and trap removal that most players use. Two copies of Mobius, a Heavy Storm, Breaker, MST, and either up to three Dust Tornados or Royal Decrees will usually give you a bad day.

Choosing a card that can gain you more potential gain may be a good choice.

Creature swap may work nicely in this deck.
