The deck's otk revolves around getting out the tuners (both are lv 3) along with another lv 4. Sync for shogun and grab another lv 4 or a tuner and get back one of the monsters with reborn/ call/ showdown castle spamming or, if you had mach dupe, you could use that on the tuner. This deck usually pulls out at least 2 synchros. 3 is pretty common, and four is possible. Of course 3 of them will be shoguns, but yeah.

This deck also starts off pretty defensive, getting the combo together with gold sarc and merchant, but at the right time, it can immediately change into a fast aggro deck.

As you may have noticed, the Extra Deck is filled with level 7's. This is because the tuners are lv 3 and most of the other monsters are level 4, save for the merchants that are level 2, hence the catastor and naturia beast. Chimeratech is in there to kill your opponents cybers, as this deck doesn't run much monster removal spells.

A trick I do to avoid the "must battle if possible" thing is to go straight to main phase 2 before I summon my monsters. This doesn't usually hurt me, unless I switched a monster into atk for anatomy or something and then draw the combo <_<

Cards that didn't make the cut:
[spoiler]Ally of Justice Reverse Break: Believe it or not, this card almost side decked! Other than lightsworn and Anti-Meta, no deck really uses light types, making it a nice candidate to get rid of face-downs (And its a target for black salvo). But I figured that with 3 shoguns, 3 strategist, and 3 showdown castles, I won't be facing too many face-downs anyways.

Karakuri Ninja: He doesn't match the main purpose of the deck, which is to get out the otk. I already have enough monster removal with my Trick Houses, so I just side the ninja instead, mainly to kill aggro decks. But this is my PERSONAL opinion. Ninja is, by far, one of the best karakuri's out there. Its like a Snowman Eater on steroids!! First of all, when its flipped, it SENDS a face-up monster to the grave, which gets around stardust and my body, as those only negate destruction. Then after that, it can attack directly during that turn. So its fine if your opponent still got a monster and you have to attack! And its searchable by Merchant and Soldier (not recommended)

Solidarity: Solidarity increases the attack of all of your monsters by 800, as long as their type matches the monsters in your graveyard, and that is the only type in your grave. This didn't make the cut for 2 reasons. A) With Dark Strike Fighter banned, there aren't really any good lv 7 machines other than shogun. B) Most Karakuri's switch to def when attacked, so their gained attack points would be useless on your opponents turn.

Mirror Force: I know. Cutting Mirror Force from the deck kinda surprised me too. But its not really needed. Karakuri's already have their own one (Karakuri Klock) thats even better, and its searchable by Merchant!![/spoiler]


But yeah, other than my own comments, feel free to CnC
