Forum:Shane Kaiba's Deck (go easy on me)

I haven't been in any tournaments before, but I want to know if this deck stands any sort of chance in a tournament:

Monster Cards
- Herald of Creation - Skilled Dark Magician - Dreamsprite - Neo the Magic Swordsman - Gilford the Lightning - Andro Sphinx - Sphinx Teleia - Theinen the Great Sphinx - Summoned Skull (2) - Black Luster Soldier - Trap Master - Mask of Darkness - Penguin Soldier (2) - Blue-Eyes White Dragon - Kaiser Sea Horse (2) - Charcoal Inpachi - Felgrand Dragon - Dark Blade - Sangan - Wall of Illusion - Senju of the Thousand Hands - Bubonic Vermin (3) - Man-Eater Bug (2) - Reliquished - Maha Vailo - Sonic Bird - Guardian Angel Joan - Celtic Guardian

Spell Cards
- Mage Power - Black Luster Ritual - Black Illusion Ritual - Axe of Despair - Swords of Revealing Light - Mystical Space Typhoon - Card Destruction - Monster Reborn - Soul Exchange - Fissure - Lightning Vortex - Big Bang Shot - Malevolent Nuzzler

Trap Cards
- Mask of Weakness - Michizure - Raigeki Break - Trap Hole - Magic Jammer - Seven Tools of the Bandit (2) - Spellbinding Circle - Shadow Spell - Sakuretsu Armor - Magic Cylinder - Draining Shield - Metalmorph

The deck is mostly a Beat Down deck, with a few effect monsters and traps that help hinder my opponent. Basically, I use high-level monsters as my attack force, using the Bubonic Vermin and Soul Exchange to get Tributes. Then I use my Equip Magic cards to further power up my monsters (which works well with my Maha Vailo). And if my opponent gets the edge on me, I carry a selection of Trap cards that will hinder them, and possibly stop them in their tracks (ie. Sakuretsu Armor, Trap Hole, Magic Cylinder, Shadow Spell, etc.) I carry two Ritual Monster and Spell cards in my deck, and to help me get them faster, I use Senju and Sonic Bird to help me retrieve them. I also carry Sangan to help retrieve my low-ATK effect monsters (including Relinquished) from my deck.
 * That's it. Questions? Comments? WTFs? I'm open to commentary.
