Strategies
The priority is to stop the opponent from attacking. This is either done through Level Limit, Gravity Bind, Scrap Iron, Raregold Armors (why I'm running 2) or Swords (sometimes). Copycat, Exploder Dragon and Relinquished are good for removing high powered cards that may bypass my spells and traps. Relinquished is also a good card for taking out annoying effect cards. (I played against my friend's Earthbound Immortal deck, Rel saved me from Challhua's effect) Ancient Lamp, Spirit Reaper, Momonga & Marshmallon are there to stop opponent's attacks until I can get a dedicated card on the field. Raging Flame Sprite is my primary attacker, and Stealth Bird the next major source of damage. Equip spells are for Flame Sprite or Relinquished, ususally the former. Infinite Cards, usually destroyed on the opponent's turn, lets me get an excess of cards in my hand so I can replace any stopping card that gets removed. Localized Tornado is for duels w/ 60+ card decks and for keeping my Limiter, Scarecrow & Gravity Bind available. Localized will be good for a 40-45 card deck, so I need to remove some cards.

The most apparent problems are the lack of searching & speed. This is a pretty slow deck, most lockdowns are, and I get utterly destroyed against something like Naturia. I don't have negating cards mostly due to Infinite Cards giving me the chance to replace the card as quickly as it's destroyed. This just runs back to the problem of speed and lack of searching. Explain how I can improve it.
