I build my decks after the limits of Otakons sim with normally 58 cards in it(excluded flag and buddy) and 4 cards more or less are not such of a big deal, i don't see why i have to go with the absolute minimum.

And i also don't see why i should use 4 items because it "seems popular". I played several rounds with this deck, and i drew it nearly everytime. In additon to that, items are practically dead weight, since you can only equip one and there are only few occasions where they are destroyed.

The draw spells are a bit tricky. I know they are mandatory, but every draw spell in DDW destroys a monster on your field or has other major drawbacks. That's why i included the Gate of Darkness Dragon. If you can bring back monsters from drop, there is no need for many hand cards.

If you look closely, you will see that there are 7 def cards in it, because Gale Destruction works as both. I made the experience, that destroying a monster is way more effective than just blocking it.

Void slasher is indeed optional, but personally, i just can't say no to 3 direct dmg points. Why i added Loophole? Because it's an awesome card! It can give you the monster you need at  the exact moment you need it(including the impact monster). The test runs i made, have proven me right in this matter. 

I would toss Crabius. That would make more balanced.

But as mentioned, the deck is tested and it works quite well. I make decks in this style for about half a year now, and normally i get many compliments, including you OPdragon ;)
