why a 3rd icarus? and take out a my body ? grephar made it faster for me

3 icarus is hawt, there are just too many targets in the deck for it not to be run in 3. You have like 2 monsters that it can't work on, and 17 it can, not including synchros. 1 MBaaS is just fine, 2 or more is overkill, especially since you need to worry about LP with Oppression and Solemn, which should cover the ground of that other MBaaS very nicely. Grepher is just terrible in this deck. There is a reason that after the first jump of this format he hasn't been used, it just doesn't cut it in this deck. Sure it sets up vayu quicker, but that's it. If I want vayu in the grave, I'll summon it via shura and get myself a free synchro while I'm at it. Speaking of which, here is an amazing combo if your opening hand is a shura and a whirlwind. Play whirlwind, summon shura, fetch gale. Summon it if you want or if you know your attacks will be successful. Kill monster with shura, summon vayu, attack with vayu and gale. second main phase. Tune shura with gale for armor master, tune that with vayu, summon stardust. and as long as you have protection, you have a silverwind set up in the grave for next turn and a stardust on the field. That usually spells game for your opponent very easily. Anything else?

another spot in the extra deck ?  

[ZanoShiran]

Definitely a thought ruler archfiend. Also, you don't need 3 armed wings, 2 is plenty. Try replacing it with a Mist Wurm if you can  

[RandallTheGreenGeek]

Thought Ruler Archfiend has saved my behind more than Stardust has, it's worth using =3  

[Dr Iceic]

1 Magical Android
1 Catastor
2 Armed Wing
1 Brionac
1 Black Rose Dragon
2 Armor Master
1 Stardust Dragon
1 Goyo Guardian
1 Colossal Fighter
1 Silverwind
1 Red Dragon Archfiend
1 Thought Ruler Archfiend
1 Mist Wurm


So that ?  

[ZanoShiran]

Yes, that extra deck will do very well  

[Dr Iceic]

ok, so what if blackfeather dragon turns out to be freakin amazing and i need to put that in here. what do i swap out ? silverwind?  

[ZanoShiran]

No, keep silverwind, he's too amazing with the combo I described above earlier. I'd say Red Dragon Archfiend or Colossal fighter, depending on just how amazing BFD is. Maybe even mist wurm, but we'll see how good it is.  

[RandallTheGreenGeek]

hate me for saying this, but ill be laughing if its effect is as disappointing as Ancient Fairy Dragon =3  

[Dr Iceic]

itll more likely be like black rose. itll do something for everydeck (explosion) but itll do something else for its types (plant support)  

[ZanoShiran]

AFD is only laughable until you use it in a demise OTK deck, lol

but yeah, I feel it will be more like BRD, except that I think it will need a BW tuner like the other BW synchros, assuming BFD is a synchro, but it seems quite likely.  

[Dr Iceic]

any more advice from anybody else ?  

[ZanoShiran]

I suppose a sidedeck would be helpful as well?

Sidedeck: 15

D.D Crow x 2
Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer x 2
Lightning Vortex
Swords of Revealing Light
Giant Trunade
Mind Control
Soul Release
Mind Crush x 2
Dust Tornado x 2
Mirror of Oaths
Delta Crow - Anti Reverse

Not a perfect side, but something that can get you through pretty much any deck that's a threat.

i just went to locals, and i had way too many dead draws due to have those 3 iccarus attacks.
