Wind-Up Deck

Can anyone suggest changes for my Wind-Up deck wip? I want to focus on Rank 5 and Rank 3 Xyz Summoning, since those have the best monsters. I've noticed either I start off very well with this deck or I die within a few turns, because I do not draw in to any of the necessary Wind-Ups in order to create the loop. Any help is appreciaed! Would love any tips and tricks too! Even if there are any OTKs for this deck. This is my favorite archetype after Naturia.

3 Wind-Up Rat
3 Wind-Up Shark

Extra deck is just a compilation of the main Rank 2, 3, 4, and 5 Xyz monsters.

take out cyber and gaga try putting in three birdmans and i will think you will like the syhcro power you will have. you have options with your winds up so you have alot of level 3,4,5 to use birdmans 3 tuner awsomeness. and since you return them to your hand you can play them again next turn to get effect

-3 Wind Up Dog
+3 Wind Up Warrior(It's superior to Dog and you have more than enough Rank 3 access)

-2 Kitten
+2 Instant Fusions(TBH this is completely untested but I feel it could work in this)

I like Dog because it can be a Rank 3 or Rank 5.
I'm not so sure about Warrior.

Fusions will take too much space in my tight Extra Deck.

Your going to want Soldier, for Emeral, which can help feed the loop more if you get in a pinch.

Who's Emeral?

If you do use DN you can just look up Emeral in the name of the cards your looking for and you can find it... But im nice.


2 Level 4 monsters
Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to activate 1 of these effects.
● Target 3 monsters in your Graveyard; shuffle them into your Deck, then draw 1 card.
● Target 1 non-Effect Monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon it.

Ah, I do use him, but why would I need Soldier for him? I still have pleny of Level 4s.

I understand your point, but you already have plenty of ways to summon Rank 3's, also Soldier is great card as a simple beatstick and can get over Rai-Oh and Sabersaurus commonly seen in the meta. And generally has Synergy with the deck. Dog is slacking here, it's a sub-par card.

Im gonne fix the second to last deck listed here,right above bunny.

WARNING. Tour guides!

-2 Gagaga
-2 Cyber dragon
+3 Tour guide
+1 Tour bus

-1 Kitty(1 is fine for the searchable grand mole)
+1 Sangan

-3 Warrior
+1 Soldier(Stops raiohs and other first turn plays,only relevant play over warrior is rat,and even then that's eh since shark exists)
+2 Maxx "C"

-1 Dark bribe
+1 Solemn judgment

Only reason I cannot play Tour Guide and Maxx C is because of how expensive they are. I would if I could, but I cannot.

Warrior can increase a monster's ATK by 600, which, done on some monsters can overrun Rai-Ohs. I like Warrior more, he can make any monster a higher level.

Sangan is understandable, I will try it out.

I HATE Solemn Judgment. I will never play that trash.

Difference is Soldier can't work against monsters like Rai Oh like Warrior does, trust me you won't be sorry...
