If I know what you want to do, it makes it easier to offer suggestions. Some players have an affinity for a specific card and like to build around it, others want to knockout their opponents quickly, etc...

Without knowing what you're aiming for, I'm not sure how best to help. So here goes some generalizations. I can certainly appreciate that you're running Martial Artist, Osumi and Evil Sins, as they are two of the highest defensive Skull Warriors Katana has. Especially Evil Sins. At this point, his defense is top at 7000 and is sometimes overlooked because of his cost.

However, it looks like all 18 spells you use are targets for him when he enters the field. A common problem some have is using Clear Serenity because it puts 3 gauge from the top in and you can have cards you want in your hand go into the gauge. A size 0 monster like Goishi Goma is great at reducing cost, and you are more free to use Clear Serenity if you're running Evil Sins since you can grab a copy upon entering the field, effectively replacing 3 gauge.

The second part of that ability is also essential now that so many builds make use of their drop zone. Being able to choose 3 cards from your opponents drop to place at the bottom of their deck is very powerful against many types.

Osumi is a fantastic target for Boy Transformation's Ability. You may want to look at that match. Soulguard is hard to come by, but if you place 2 soul in Osumi and get Boy Transformation on the board, when you deal 3 damage with Osumi's Penetrate, Boy Transformation can simply toss one of his soul into the drop for another 3 damage and leave you with a 9000 3 6000 still on the board if the game continues. That said, Sakurafabuki is a possible add-on if your opponent tries to cast a spell to reduce damage, or stop the attack.

Absolute Sword can find a place in nearly any Katana build because of its myriad uses (you can get very creative with it..matching it with Sakurafabuki, etc..), and certainly Karakurenai would possibly finish off your opponent in the situation above with Osumi and Boy Transformation. You would just have to meet the requirements for casting, (opponent 2 cards or less in hand, etc...)

That's just a general take at this point, and if you give me a picture of what type of build(s) interest you the most, I can dig deeper.

Thanks for posting your deck list!
