I recently played my friend's gladiator beast deck and it was incredibly fun. I decided to make my own (sadly I'm poor and almost half the deck is currently proxies >.<;) This is the first time I've ever built a deck using a meta archetype and honestly I'm very new to it. I had EXTREME difficulty finding anything on Gladiator Beasts newer than 2008 which shocked and surprised me. My main goal when building the deck was to make it as powerful as possible without copying my friends deck. Since I don't often have the opportunity to get my hands on new cards, particularly Synchros so I'm kinda attempting to build the deck without them. I DO have rescue cats which I have heard are amazing, but without the synchros the only other use I really have for them is to get out test tiger or samnite really fast and hopefully get them off that field before they die. I'm still fiddling with the idea of throwing them in for that purpose but I don't quite know enough as it is. If anyone could give me any advice I'd be very grateful and keep in mind I play traditional.
