Forum:Help with a low-level deck

Although I've dueled quite a bit, it's been a while since I've had my own deck. For Christmas, I'm getting a bank account, so I'll finally be able to buy stuff online. I've decided to get a deck. I've decided that I want a low-level themed deck, that would use traps and some spells to keep high-leveled monsters at bay while I hit. I'm planning to make everything level 3 or lower, although I might make exceptions.

So the cards I've considered so far are (I will explain my plans for some of them if I feel it is necessary):

Some low-levels with decent attack (e.g. Jerry Beans Man, Sonic Duck) (note: some advice on these would greatly be appreciated, my knowledge on decent level 3 monsters is limited) Relinquished and Black Illusion Ritual Lava Golem (to rob the opponent of two monsters, after which I could either equip it to Relinquished or keep stalled with Gravity Bind while my opponent takes damage) Metalmorph Mirror Force/Widespread Ruin/Sakaretsu Armor Burden of the Mighty Seven Tools of the Bandit/Dark Bribe/Cursed Seal of the Forbidden Spell Gravity Bind/Level Limit - Area B Possibly Monster Reborn and Autonomous Action Unit (if I need to bring out an opponent's high-level monster if I get overpowered)

That's the basic idea of what I intend for it to be like. However, since it's been a while since I've dueled, and I have little experience in deck-building, I would like some advice on what cards to use/not to use for a deck like this (for example, I'm not sure about using Lava Golem, it can backfire quite easily).

Oh, yeah, I would appreciate it if you didn't just tell me "This idea sucks, go look up a meta deck". I do not want to resort to a meta deck - I would prefer building my own deck (with some assistance, of course), even if it isn't as good as the cookie-cutters.
