Answer
Why 3 Drop Off instead of 3 Dustshoot?  Dustshoot is WAY more crippling than a random discard.  Additionally, with so many monster effects activating in the Graveyard, sending to the deck is better.

Otherwise, Traps are fine.

Why 3 Smashing?  You have enough face-up removal it looks like.  Drop to 1 or 2.

Otherwise, Spells are fine.


Monsters...why no Zaborg or Raiza at all?  Those are the BEST two.

I might play a 3rd Spy since you are using Book of Moon.

That's all I see that's really wrong.

Expertise

ON VACATION indefinitely. I have not had the chance to be competitive as of lately as there are no Regionals in the area and my work schedule has kept me from traveling out of state. If I expect to be more than a couple of months I will try to see if I can appoint a new guru for the category. My apologies to those seeking to ask me questions, but I am nowhere near as much help as I would like to be right now.
