Draw, Go, Monarchs

For those of you who view Rauzes blog youll know where i get this idea from so lets get on with the deck

Monsters:21
3 Raiza the Storm Monarch
3 Cauis the Shadow Monarch
2 Mobius the Frost Monarch (This can be replaced with Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch if your preference is hand control i choose Mobius because i prefer backfield control)
1 Gorz Emissary of the Afterlife
3 Tragoedia
3 Battle Fader
3 Bloody Tear Ogre (actual name:Ogre of the Scarlet Sorrow)
3 Krebons
Spells:8
2 Allure of Darkness
1 Emergency Teleport
1 Heavy Storm
1 Mystical Space Typhoon
1 Giant Trunade
2 Gold Sarcophagus(mostly used to search out the ultimate offerings)
Traps:11
2 Ultimate Offerings
1 Call of the Haunted
1 Torrential Tribute
1 Mirror Force
3 Macro Cosmos
1 Solemn Judgment
2 Bottomless Traphole

As you can tell and as rauzes explained the way this deck works is on the opponents turn you use card such as Gorz, Ogre,Trago,and Fadder to special summon them and then use ultimate offerings to normal summon your monarchs on your opponents turn so that they can get caught off gaurd.

Anti-Meta factors
1. Mobius to get rid off decrees and whirlwinds if lightsworn is big in your meta i would suggest running Thestalos over Mobius or i would prolly sideboard thestalos in a big tourny and side in him over mobius when playing agianst lightsworn because lightsworn play few traps and thestalos helps to get rid of JD and also honest
2. Macro Cosmos-This card completely rapes decks in the meta for example in blackwings if played quick enough no blizzards or kaluts or vayus. in lightsworns i dont care what kind of accountant the players using even he cant help fix the numbers for JD with macro on the field also they lose thier beatdown factor because no honest and they lose alot of mill cause of no charge. Dam them "Graveyard Clauses" :)
3.even though this deck plays on the opponents turn my advice would be to side 2-3 dust tornados/Twisters to deal with whirlwinds preferebly with this deck i would say Tornados so you can set your ultimate offerings and then go for the monarch rush on your turn

Side deck to be posted later

Also no i have not tested this deck but any info on how it tests would help

Ritual Devils

As we have seen in the set stardust overdrive and in the set absolute powerforce Ritual monsters are back and from the look of it they are here to stay today im gonna discuss the many ways to abuse the Djinn monsters

1.Armageddon Knight/Dark Grepher: Both of theses monsters can be used to set up for Relinquished and are perfect for dumping the Djinn monsters into the graveyard for abuse while also maintaining monsters on the field.

2.Foolish Burial: while also a fast and easy way of dumping the devils to the grave it can end up costing you hand advantage in the long run.

3.the final way which really isnt a way of getting them to the grave but is mostly just a way to abuse them is to use Doomsday Horror using this method if your running alot of rituals Doomsday can act as a boss monster for the deck and then when it dies you can abuse the Djinns agian by using more ritual
