Forum:URGENT HELP NEEDED, Ancient Gear Deck

I'm sorry if the title sounds a little too attention whore-ish, I hate doing that. Sorry. The thing is I'm getting into a regional tournament next week on my city. I put so much money on my deck yet anyone I duel against there gets the upper hand so easily. I've just wasted way too much money on catds and I'm not gonna buy any more. But go ahead to suggest any card that I could use, but prefferibly commons and easy to find (and accesible too).

Monsters
-Ancient Gear Golem (2) -Ancient Gear Gadkiltron Dragon (2) -Ancient Gear Beast (2) -Ancient Gear Knight (2) -Ancient Gear Engineer -Ancient Gear Soldier -Giant Rat (2) -Enchanted Earth - EX Sealed Fusion -Cyber Dragon -Proto-Cyber Dragon -The Trojan Horse -Morphing Jar -Jinzo

Extra Deck
-Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem (2) -Cyber Twin Dragon -Chimeratech Fortess Dragon

Spells
-Geartown (3) -Tribute to the Doomed -Lightning Vortex -Scapegoat -Limiter Removal -Fissure -Power Bond -Monster Reborn -Magical Mallet -Terraforming -Mystical Space Typhoon -Heavy Storm -Swords of Revealing Ligh -pot of Avarice

Traps
-Magic Drain -Sakuretsu Armor (2) -Stronghold the Moving Fortress -Magic Cylinder -Torrential Tribute

Trunk Backups
-Two of each Gadget (2 Red, 2 Green and 2 Yellow) -Stronghold the Moving Fortress (would make 2 in the Deck) -Gaia Power -Ancient Gear Drill -Double Summon -Riryoku -Gigantes (3) -Remote Revenge -Mechanical Hound -Demise of the Land -Polymerization

MAIN PROBLEM
My deck has good strategies, BUT they need time to be used. While this happens, my opponent has already cleared my field, summoned very strong monsters, emptied my hand, weakened any strong monster I have and/or protected their cards with anything anti-summon and/or anti-activation. I need quick strategies. I was thinking about adding 2 or 3 Cost Downs to my deck, but the discard cost it seems too dangerous for me.

I'm open for anything.
