Forum:Lockdown Deck needs help bad...

Ok, so I've been working on a deck for a long while now trying to create a lockdown beatdown deck in order to shut down my opponents as quick as I can while then attempting to annihilate them with powerful monsters at the same time. This deck is successful against players who play with different themed decks such as a Yubel Deck or a Dragon Deck that is pretty basic at my local tourney but when it does battle against a Gladiator Beast Deck, Dark Armed Return, a Synchro-Teleport Deck, or a Lightsworns Deck it gets destroyed.

Doing research, I tested this deck against my current Frog Deck that is still in construction and 6/10 my Frog Deck creams it. The idea of this deck is too prevent my opponent from playing spells, traps, monster effects, and special summons but due to the wants of the deck, I fear that its running too slow or that I am not drawing what I need fast enough.

At the moment, I am running with:  (Monster = 20)  Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV4 x2 Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6 x1 Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8 x1 Jinzo                           x1 Vanity's Ruler                  x1</P> Spear Dragon                    x3</P> Luster Dragon                   x3</P> Mirage Dragon                   x3</P> Masked Dragon                   x2</P> Spirit Reaper                   x1</P> Neo-Spacian Grand Mole          x1</P> Jowgen the Spiritualist         x1</P>  </P>  (Spells = 13) </B></P> Monster Reborn           x1</P> Heavy Storm              x1</P> Giant Trunade            x1</P> Lightning Vortex         x2</P> Level Up!                x2</P> Brain Control            x1</P> <P>Enemy Controller         x1</P> <P>Swords of Revealing Light x1</P> <P>Mystical Space Typhoon   x1</P> <P>Cold Wave                x2</P> <P> </P> <P><B> (Traps = 9) </b></P> <P>Mirror Force        x1</P> <P>Magic Cylinder      x1</P> <P>Magic Drain         x1</P> <P>Torrential Tribute  x1</P> <P>Dust Tornado        x1</P> <P>Royal Decree        x1</P> <P>Judgment of Anubis  x1</P> <P>Bottomless Trap Hole x1</P> <P>Divine Wrath        x1</P>
