I recommend Elite Sword, Juzumaru instead of Onimaru, as you can easily discard a Nanomachine Ninja Tsukikage for the cost for your buddy, or any of the aforementioned Secret Swords, since they have the same use anyway. It also doesn't cost gauge, which can keep your Swords alive, as well as it being able to reach Onimaru in stats if needed, but can also stay.

Four Linzo isn't that required, so about 2-3 would suffice. You can replace it with either:Noble Thief Ninja, Nezumijiro, Runaway Female Ninja, Yukishiro, Electro Ninja, Electric Teru, Stealth Ninja, Kirikakure Saizo or a Size 3 monster so that you can target Size 3s with Hades Fall.

Like FutureKnight said, you can remove a copy of each Secret Sword. In their place, why not try using other Secret Swords, like Glittering Star and Shooting Star? Or other spells which may strike your fancy.

You need to experiment and find what works for you, so don't take this as the law, but as a guide. Once you grow, your deck building skills will too along with your image of the deck, and you'll then know what is needed and what isn't. Happy Katana'ing.
