Forum:Rock Removal Beatdown

When I was making this deck, I was going for a different idea. Something that would make the opponent say, "what the hell is he runnning?!" I eventually opted for a Rock deck, but not just any rock deck, a rock deck that follows the standard strategy (burden of the mighty, King Tiger Wanghu, Guardian Sphinx, Exxod, Master of The Guard, etc) until I draw my key cards: card trooper, megarock dragon, gigantes, or the like. Then, I totally switch my strategy, and, while removing cards to the hand with Guardian Sphinx, I destroy them with megarock dragon.

My cards are...

--- --- --- side deck sucks imho, need LOTS of help with it --- extra deck is just every synchro I have, figured I'd just stick 'em in there in case I need them. --
 * giant rat x3 monster searching, staple imho
 * guardian sphinx x2 monster removal, staple for this deck
 * stone statue of the aztecs x2 beatstick defense, + canyon, + its own effect = PWNAGE
 * king tiger wanghu x1 adds that little anti-meta twist I like. Coupled with Burden of the mighty stops alot of special summon decks.
 * guardian statue x3 again, monster removal, staple for this deck
 * x-saber airbellum x1 tuner, gets rid of monsters in their hand (likely there due to guardian sphinx)
 * Criosphinx x1 adding to the pain of guardian sphinx etc. tribute fodder for exxod.
 * Labyrinth of Nightmare x1 beatstick defense for only one tribute
 * Moai Interceptor Cannons x2 defense, exxod's effect.
 * Hieracosphinx x1 adding to the standard deck illusion, exxod tribute, protecting facedowns
 * Exxod, Master of The Guard x1 Exxod himself! Great defense, great effect, alternate strategy, can't get enough. would have 3 if I had 3 :(
 * gigantes x3 getting into the beatstick portion now... Earth staple anyways imho
 * card trooper x1 cards into graveyard for gigantes and megarock
 * megarock dragon x1 killer! wanted 3, but only have 1 :( maybe I'll buy some more :)
 * fossil tusker x1 backup attack monster
 * Wave-Motion Cannon x1 backup strategy should I stall too long, or discard my dragon...
 * book of moon x1 great for aztec, anti-meta, not good enough to warrent 2.
 * shifting shadows x1 again, only own 1, really gotta get another invincible fortress
 * pot of greed x1 limited, crap.
 * monster reborn x1 limited, crap.
 * heavy storm x1 limited (i think), crap.
 * canyon x1 rock deck, what did you expect?
 * pot of avarice x1 bam! instant cards back in your deck if you go to far with card trooper
 * magical mallet x1 bad hand, instant cure :)
 * burden of the mighty x1 think I talked about this, KILLS meta with wanghu
 * wall of revealing light x1 good luck attacking me now :P
 * robbin' goblin x1 gets rid of a card in their hand, likely one put there by my pet sphinx.
 * gravity bind x1 just a backup.
 * dust tornado x1 just in case...
 * spiritual earth art - kurogane x1 getting a monster back in exchange for a monster I don't need, you have no idea how many times this card saved my butt.
 * draining shield x1 you never know...
 * book of moon x1 another, who knows ???
 * brain control x1 again, who knows ???
 * spirit burner x1 made for spirit monsters, works surprisingly well in my deck.
 * chainsaw insect x1 high attack monsters with no tributes! woo hoo!
 * gear golem the moving fortress x1 pwnage defense
 * secret barrel x1 they'll have alot of cards in their hands by the time I'm done with them :)
 * poison of the old man x1 who knows ??? might help
 * dark hole x1 anti meta... at a price, hence side decked.
 * degenerate circuit suck that!
 * swift gaia the fierce knight x1 like cyber dragon, but better.
 * needle ceiling x1 kill opponent's field, but not mine (facedowns :) ) good against swarm decks
 * magical marionette x1 had this card main decked for its effect for a LONG time, decided it wasn't going with the theme, but to hard to let go, so I side decked it.
 * breaker the magical warrior x1 see above story.
 * dimensional prison x1 If I had more than one, I'd main deck it
 * D.D. warrior lady x1 anti meta!
 * x-saber urbellum x2 ran a warrior deck for a while, figured it's effect might benefit me
 * goyo guardian x1 staple, sorry but it is
 * power tool dragon x1 ran a machine deck for a while, couldn't let this card go, even though I don't have a single equip card, figured it couldn't hurt
 * gaia knight, the force of the earth x1 just a high attack monster, that's about it
 * x-saber wayne again, ran a warrior deck for a while, figured it couldn't hurt
 * xx-saber gottoms x1 ran a warrior deck for a while, had a lot of x sabers, so a friend of mine traded me this for my other urbellum, best trade of my life. (felt bad doing it though, so I gave him a rare card for his birthday)

Please add any comments, hoping to make this better. Just a weird idea I came up with.
