AboutJeremy Expertise I am willing to look at almost any type of deck fix or ruling question. I would recommend coming to me if you are looking for a second opinion for deck changes or did not receive an answer for your question. I am now asking for your own benefit that you do not ask me about Lightsworn decks as I do not like how the theme is set up to burn through your own deck. I will also not answer questions based on cards that have not been officially released.
Please have your decks listed out into categories of Monsters, Spells, and Traps so I can visually see the design of the deck. Make sure to make a note in your question about whether or not you want difficult/expensive cards to be added to your deck. I will do my best not to put too many in unless I see the deck is already full of them and know the person is willing to spend for them. Also, please let me know if you want a deck to be in traditional format or else I will make my suggestions in advanced format. Thank you.
Experience I have been involved with the game for almost as long as it has been in America. I am something of a strategist and so keep up with rulings as much as I can. I enjoy trying any and every type of deck to see what strengths and weaknesses they hold.

Answer As it is now, I would give the deck a poor rating, a 4/10. The reason for this is that the deck is too big and unbalanced. You have 21 monsters, 14 traps, and 20 spells. With this set up you will have trouble having enough monsters in your hand to work with. Another problem is that you are only allowed 1 Limiter Removal regardless of what format you play under. There is hope for this deck though. The number of spells and traps can be shorted and your monster line up altered to make it a much better deck. Since you only have 2 cards forbidden on the advanced list and the one I can switch for a card just as good and the other wont be as necessary when we shrink the deck I will build it for the advanced list.
