My deck last format was pretty much raped and left for dead

[TheVoid619]

My friends were telling me that, when the new banlist helped Zombies, that my deck would be helped.  Yea... no.  My old deck, linked here, was raped pretty well.  Losing 11 cards in main deck, including important cards, such as 2 Deep Sea Divas, Stratos, and about 6 or so spells, this deck took a lot to rebuild and is likely a lot weaker than my old version.  Anyway, please help with this, if possible.  I love this deck, and it's pretty good (even despite the smashing it took), but I know it can be better.

[spoiler='these are the changes i made'] [/spoiler]the cards I took out are the ones that hold either little to no major effect in the deck anymore after the new banlist, and the ones I added are cards that possess more viability due to the new format, with the exception of the bus, I just think bus would be a good way to recycle monsters that you lose(for example, first turn summon tour guide, pull bus, go into zenmaines, dro torguide as the first material, then drop bus as the second material, use bus to return tour guide, summon your second tour guide, repeat.) book of life is self explanatory, it's a monster reborn that also takes out any one monster in your opponents graveyard. pot is a good card for slower turns, or when you need a good card, but don't need to special summon.

Forget Diamond Dude, just drop a Destiny Draw and run another ZM to deal with in-hand Malicious. Don't even bother trying to splash Diva at 1, it's really not worth it outside a dedicated deck. Plague at 2 means Book of Life is the new E-Tele.

 

@vla1ne your lack of Ha Des makes me incredibly sad

I was just putting up an image of the deck he had listed.

[Akira]

Why would you do that ;_;

[vla1ne]

I was dead tired, and I needed a visual to go off of, so I did it. :)

[Akira]

Makes sense, since I pretty much skimmed over the OP's post and clearly paid more attention to yours. Visual imagery FTW

I like this a lot.  I was strongly considering ditching Diva and Gillman, as without the other two, it's been giving me issues using it.  I can't spam Synchros with it anymore.  As far as the Books are concerned, in my pre-list build, I only ran 5 zombies, so I couldn't use Book of Life, and thus forgot about it when trying to update the deck.  Tour Bus and Duality seem like nice choices, and after what Akira said, I'm also going to drop 1 Destiny Draw and the Malicious for a second Zombie Master and a second Duality.

 

EDIT: As far as the visual, unfortunately, I'm IP Banned from Dueling Network so I can't get an image =\

eww sick who would rape yugioh cards

they are just cardboard

[ZeRainbowDash]

unless i'm mistaken, you only have 4 fiends in this deck. i may be worng, but the tour guides, the tour bus and i think gorz is too. wouldnt that make Allure a little problematic? perhaps replace it with reckless greed, or upstart goblin

allure works with all dark monsters.

Oh dude. You need burial from a different dimension so bad, forgot about that.
