Well, it doesn't seem like you have enough Crystal Beast monsters to take full advantage of the spell support that you've got. Perhaps something like Amber Mammoth would be good?
I know there aren't enough crystal beasts to use that amount of crystal beast spells which is why I am trying to cut them down and even though I only have 7 crystal beasts I don't have a hard time getting the spells off. Right now I'm thinking about taking out the beacons and cutting the promises down to 2. I tried the amber mammoth and it just wasn't working for me. After that I tried the amethyst cat with rescue cats and that didn't work for me either. I decided I needed to make the monster line-up in the deck more powerful so it can stand up to the decks that are run nowadays. The Assailants and Warrior Lady help with removal of monsters that get in my way. Cyber Dragon, Jinzo, and Kaiser Glider all add power to the deck that was badly needed. Pegasus helps keep the speed in the deck and Tiger helps with it's self increasing effect. Cyber Phoenix is in there to protect Cyber Dragon and Jinzo as well as draw a card.
With the decks monster line-up setup the way I like it, I feel I can finally devote time to make an accurate spell line-up because in my opinion the spells in a crystal beast can't be picked accurately until the monster line-up is built to the satisfaction of the user. Now it just comes down to playtesting spells to figure out what to run in the deck.
The deck theory is good. I don't have any add suggestions until I playtest it myself, but I know for a fact that this deck can not and should not rely on Crystal Abundance for a win condition. With only 7 Crystal Beasts, having the card seems a little too risky when you could be putting that slot to better use, like on a Nobleman of Crossout and a Snatch Steal.
I know what you mean about crystal abundance. Since I've been playtesting the deck never won that many times using crystal abundance. Even though the card can win duels, getting and keeping that many crystal beasts in the spell and trap zone is just to difficult unless the deck is built around crystal abundance, and even then it's hard to pull off. I'm probably just going to take it out of the deck completely or take it down to just one. Brain, snatch, smashing, vortex, and nobleman are just a few of the cards I was thinking about playtesting.
For the changes I have taken out the 2 crystal beacons for 2 brain controls, 1 crystal abundance for snatch steal, and 1 crystal promise for pot of avarice.
After playtesting the new version of the deck I have figured out the weak points of the deck.
-ruby carbuncle doesn't fit into the new version of the deck. it's just not powerful enough and I don't have the crystal beast utilities in the deck to bring out the power of it's effect.
-taking out ruby carbuncle makes me think about taking out 1 or all of the ancient cities.
-and those 2 changes would make me want to take out cystal abundance
However there is another route I can go also
-I can take out the Kaiser Gliders and add in some more crystal beasts. If I started adding crystal beasts I would only want to add in 3 amethyst cats and 1 rescue cat which means I will have to take out two more monsters to put in that line-up
Any suggestions on which version might be better would be helpful
