Answer
This won't be a full fix, as your deck is very illegal, and even beyond that has many problems.

First, the illegal parts:

You can only have 1 Crossout.
You can only have 1 Mystical Space Typhoon.
Chaos Sorcerer is banned.
You can only have 1 Spirit Reaper.

Second, you're missing many critical cards.

The following cards are not in your deck and should be, no matter what:
*Ring of Destruction
*Confiscation
*Heavy Storm
*Snatch Steal (it's legal again)

*1 more Cyber Dragon, giving you 3
*Sangan


You shouldn't be playing so much face-up removal to where you need Fissures.  There are so many "free" cards out there like Card Trooper, Destiny Hero Malicious, Elemental Hero Stratos, and the like that either replace themself when summoned, replace themself when destroyed, or in some other way give the opponent a free card, to where you'd be at a disadvantage if you used a 1:1 removal card.

Here's the skeleton of a Warrior deck, as I'd make it right now:

3x Cyber Dragon
2x D. D. Assailant
D. D. Warrior Lady
1-2x Don Zaloog
2x Exiled Force
Mystic Swordsman Lv. 2
Sangan
Spirit Reaper

From here, you could add in a few more Warriors, or some Monarchs, or possibly Elemental Hero Stratos and 2x Elemental Hero Wildheart -- all warriors, and the Stratos can search out the Wildheart upon summon for free.


Spells:
Confiscation
Heavy Storm
Mystical Space Typhoon
Premature Burial
Nobleman of Crossout
Snatch Steal
2x Reinforcement of the Army
The Warrior Returning Alive
2x Smashing Ground
Pot of Avarice

You could add a couple more Spells if you like.  You had most of this already, but 2 Smashings should really be enough if you build the deck right.


Traps:
Mirror Force
Ring of Destruction
Torrential Tribute

are the big 3.

Sakuretsu is good, Trap Dustshoot is doing well right now to strip your opponent of monsters in the early game, Pulling the Rug is doing good because it negates Monarchs / Gadgets / an opposing Elemental Hero Stratos / the searchers for Demise One Turn Kill (the Sonic Bird, Senju of the 1,000 hands, Manju of the 10,000 hands.)

I don't like Cylinder because although it does damage, it doesn't destroy anything, and leaves you at a card disadvantage.  Cylinder can be good if you know you have an aggressive opponent, but not many other times otherwise.  Cylinder's only good if the players you're playing against are bad.
