I added 3 Silhoutte Balons.

4/5 victories. Against  Star Dragon World and Hero World.

First off, it’s a lot like a Purgatory Knight deck. Extremely dependant on a few cards, but once you got them, it’s move sailing.

One of my requirements for this deck was independence. I was a sitting duck for a few turns just waiting to draw into Joe or Terry, and I just throw away Joe most of the time.

The condition of needing a spell in your drop is difficult. The only spells I can use is First Volume, Nice One! and Solomon’s Shield, and it takes me a while before I can draw into them.

Leon’s ability is hardly ever used because I can’t get enough soul, and tend to ditch Balon most of the time.

I hardly ever get 3 attacks off, and my preference is 3 or more attacks.

If I added a Gunrod like you suggested, I would only have 13 monsters(Not including impact monsters and Simbar, since you discard Simbar to retrieve a different Shadow Shade). And 7 of them have call conditions to be met.

However, once Terry was out, defense was top notch. Resource management was quite okay, I always had a few gauge to spare, and 2 to 3 cards in my hand.

So, summary. Lots of issues, basic Shadow Shade stuff. Not my thing.
