ANSWER: If this deck is based around synchros and the Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys then you need to make some major changes.  To start out you have 50 cards, need to trim it at least 8 cards.
Monsters:
-1 Twin-Headed Behemoth
-1 D.D. Survivor
-2 D.D. Assailant
-1 Marauding Captain
-3 Junk Synchron
-1 Chainsaw Insect
-2 Exiled Force
-2 Apprentice Magician
-2 Old Vindictive Magician
-1 Crystal Seer

-16 Monsters

+2 Flame Ruler (Not only can he be used for two tributes, but also good for synchro's because he is level 4)
+3 Krebons (better for synchro's then junk synchron's)
+3 Nimble Momonga (It's a level 2 that can help boost your lifepoints and give you extra monsters at the same time, so if you needed another monster to tribute with hand of nephthys, you can use one of the other nimble's that get special summoned).  

+8 Monsters

Spells:
-1 ROTA

+1 Emergency Teleport

Traps:
-2 Sakuretsu Armor

+2 Solemn Judgment

Extra Deck:
+1 Stardust Dragon
+1 Red Dragon Archfiend
+1 Thought Ruler Archfiend
+1 Goyo Guardian

-3 Junk Warrior

If anything I said conflicted with a combo you had, test your deck out and see which way works better.

Hope i helped!

QUESTION: The Flame Rulers suck, big time. The Krebons just drained my life points. Don't get me started on the Emergency Teleport. And lets not talk about that 1000 life points I had after using the Solemns.
The idea of my deck is to get the Phoenixes out as fast as I can with Marauding Captain Special summon of Hand of Nephthys or Junk Synchron Special summon of Hand of Nephthys. After that, follow up with synchros (stardust, junk, gaia). Traps and effect monsters(D.D. Assailant, Old Vindictive, Apprentice) to defend myself if I don't draw Hands.

Answer
If you don't like what i had to say then don't do it.  This is why I put "If anything I said conflicted with a combo you had, test your deck out and see which way works better."  It depends on what kind of decks you are playing when you say all of this, because your deck before was too choppy in my opinion.  But it is, your deck.
